Top 100 Quotes From Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

Sirius: Enough talk, Remus! C'mon, let's kill him!
Professor: Wait!
Sirius: I did my waiting! Twelve years of it! In Azkaban!
Professor: Very well, kill him. But wait one more minute. Harry has the right to know why.
Harry: I know why! You betrayed my parents! You're the reason they're dead!
Professor: No, Harry, it wasn't him! Somebody did betray your parents, but it was somebody who, until quite recently, I believed to be dead.
Harry: Who was it then?
Sirius: Peter Pettigrew! And he's in this room, right now! Come out, come out, Peter! Come out and play!

Professor: Your aura is pulsing! Are you in the beyond? I think you are!
Ron: Sure...
Professor: Look at the cup, tell me what you see!

- Three turns should do it, I think.

- Good luck.

- Come on. And we can't be seen.

[about Sirius]
Harry: When we free him, I'll never have to go back to the Dursley's. It'll just be me and him. We could live in the country, someplace you can see the sky. I think he'll like that after all those years in Azkaban.

- I think I'll donate it to the Gryffindors' common room.

Ron: Probably Neville's forgotten the password again.
Neville: [behind them] Hey!
Ron: Oh... You're there...

Dumbledore: [to Professor Snape] For in dreams, we enter a world that is entirely our own. Let him swim in the deepest ocean or glide over the highest cloud.

- -Don't worry.
- Where do you suppose this goes?
- I have a hunch.
- I just hope I'm wrong.

Professor: [taps the blank Marauder's Map with his wand] Reveal your secrets.
[writing appears on the map]
Professor: Read it.
Harry: "Messrs. Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, offer their compliments to Professor Snape and... "
Professor: Go on.
Harry: "... and request that he keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business."

Ron: She's gone mental, Hermione has. I mean, not that she wasn't always mental, but now it's out in the open for everyone to see!

Ron: [sitting bolt upright in bed] Spiders... the spiders... they want me to tap-dance. And I don't want to tap-dance!
Harry: You tell those spiders, Ron.
Ron: Yeah, tell them... I'll tell them...
[falls straight back asleep]

- -Come on.
- -This way.
- This way, now.
- -Now what?
- -We save Sirius.
- -How?
- -No idea.

- He's already slipped past them once, hasn't he?

- Spiders.
- They want me to tap-dance.
- -I don't wanna tap-dance!
- -You tell those spiders, Ron.
- Yeah. Tell them. I'll tell them.

- -Since Professor Snape set the essay.
- -Well, well, well, Hermione.
- You are the brightest witch of your age
- I've ever met.
- Enough talk, Remus!
- Come on, let's kill him!
- -Wait!
- -I did my waiting!
- Twelve years of it!
- In Azkaban!

Dumbledore: A child's voice, however honest and true, is meaningless to those who've forgotten how to listen.

- -You put her right!
- -No. She deserved what she got.
- Keep away from me.
- You're not allowed to do magic outside school.
- -Yeah? Try me.
- -They won't let you back now.
- You've nowhere to go.
- I don't care.
- Anywhere is better than here.

- Well done!
- Well done, Harry, well done!
- Does he get to fly?
- -I think he may let you ride him now.
- -What?
- -Come on.
- -Hey, hey, hey!
- Put you over here, just behind the wing joint.
- Don't pull out any of his feathers, because he won't thank you for that.

Ron: Who do you think that is?
Hermione: Professor R. J. Lupin.
Ron: Do you know everything?
[to Harry]
Ron: How is it she knows everything?
Hermione: [annoyed] It's on his suitcase, Ronald.
Ron: Oh.

Dumbledore: A word of caution: dementors are vicious creatures. They will not distinguish between the one they hunt and the one who gets in their way. Therefore I must warn each and every one of you to give them no reason to harm you. It's not in the nature of a dementor to be forgiving. But you know happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light.

- We could live in the country...
- ...some place you can see the sky.
- I think he'll like that after all those years in Azkaban.
- Harry!
- Run!
- Let's go.

- You really are the brightest witch of your age.
- We have to go.

- But, Professor, I thought if you signed it, then I could...
- I can't.
- Only a parent or a guardian can sign.
- Since I am neither, it would be inappropriate.
- I'm sorry, Potter.
- That's my final word.
- Forget about it, guys. See you later.

- Well, it is.
- It's the happiest I've ever felt...
- ...but it's complicated.
- Is it strong?
- Then let's give it a try. You feel ready?
- Just do it.

Harry: Professor, can I ask you something?
Professor: You want to know why I stopped you facing that boggart, yes? I would have thought that would be obvious - I assumed it would take the shape of Lord Voldemort.
Harry: I did think of Voldemort - at first. But then I remembered that night on the train... and the dementor...
Professor: I'm very impressed. That suggests that what you fear most of all... is fear itself. This is very wise.

Hermione: [howls]
Harry: What are you doing?
Hermione: Saving your life!
Harry: Thanks!... Great, now he's coming at us!
Hermione: Yeah, didn't think about that... run!

Sirius: Sorry about the bite, I reckon that twinges a bit.
Ron: A bit? A bit? You almost tore my leg off!
Sirius: I *was* going for the rat. Normally, I have a very sweet disposition as a dog. In fact, more than once, James suggested that I make the change permanent. The tail I could live with. But the fleas? They're murder.

- ...here's what I want you to do.
- Excuse me.
- Imagine Professor Snape in your grandmother's clothes.
- Can you do that?
- Yes. Wand at the ready.
- One, two, three.

- -Watch it there, boy.
- -We're trying to sleep here!
- Yes, we are.

Professor: Expelliarmus! Ah, vengeance is sweet. How I hoped I'd be the one to catch you.
[to Lupin]
Professor: I told Dumbledore you were helping an old friend enter the castle and now here's the proof.
Sirius: Brilliant, Snape - once again you've put your keen and penetrating mind to the task and as usual come to the wrong conclusion. Now if you'll excuse us, Remus and I have some unfinished business to attend to.
Professor: [raises his wand at Black] Give me a reason. I beg you.
Professor: Severus, don't be a fool...
Sirius: He can't help it. It's habit by now.
Professor: Sirius, be quiet!
Sirius: Be quiet yourself, Remus!
Professor: Listen to you two, quarrelling like an old married couple.
Sirius: Why don't you run along and play with your chemistry set?
Professor: [puts his wand to Black's throat] I could do it, you know... But why deny the Dementors? They're so longing to see you.
[Sirius trembles]
Professor: Do I detect a flicker of fear? Ah, yes. The Dementor's Kiss. One can only imagine what that must be like to endure. It's said to be nearly unbearable to witness, but I'll do my best.

- Is that really what my hair looks like from the back?
- Hermione...
- What?
- I thought I just saw...
- -Never mind.
- -Let's go.

Professor: Turn to page 394.

Professor: That is the second time you have spoken out of turn, Miss Granger. Tell me, are you incapable of restraining yourself, or do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all?
Ron: He's got a point, you know.

- -What are you doing?
- -Saving your life.
- Thanks.
- Great. Now he's coming for us.
- Yeah, I didn't think about that. Run!

- Why are we stopping?
- We can't be there yet.
- What's going on?
- I don't know. Maybe we've broken down.
- Ouch, Ron. That was my foot.
- There's something moving out there.

- It wasn't my dad I saw earlier. It was me!
- I saw myself conjuring the Patronus before.
- I knew I could do it this time because...
- ...well, I had already done it.
- -Does that make sense?
- -No!
- But I don't like flying!

- -Take her away, Ern.
- -Yeah, take it away, Ernie.
- It's going to be a bumpy ride.

- I'm quite convinced the castle is safe...
- ...and I'm more than willing to send the students back to their houses.
- What about Potter? Should he be warned?
- Perhaps. But for now, let him sleep.
- For in dreams, we enter a world that's entirely our own.
- Let them swim in the deepest ocean or glide over the highest cloud.

Professor: Well, well, Lupin. Out for a little walk... in the moonlight, are we?

Harry: [in reference to Sirius Black on the front cover of the Daily Prophet] Who is that? That man?
Stan: Who is that?... Who is... THAT is Sirius Black that is! Don't tell me you've never been hearing of Sirius Black?
[Harry shakes his head]
Stan: He's a murderer. Got himself locked up in Azkaban for it.
Harry: How did he escape?
Stan: Well that's the question, isn't it? He's the first one who did it. He was a big supporter of You-Know-Who. Reckon you've heard of him?
Harry: Yeah... him I've heard of.

Sirius: I expect you're tired of hearing this, but you look so like your father. Except your eyes. You have...
Harry: My mother's eyes.
Sirius: It's cruel that I got to spend so much time with James and Lily, and you so little. But know this; the ones that love us never really leave us. And you can always find them in here.
[puts his hand to Harry's heart]

- And a soul as dark as his name.
- It's him, headmaster.
- The one they all talk about.
- He's here, somewhere in the castle!
- Sirius Black!
- Secure the castle, Mr Filch.
- The rest of you, to the Great Hall.

- -Run!
- -Get away from me!
- -Run.
- -Not a word to anyone, understood?
- -Okay!
- -I'm gonna get that jumped-up mudblood!
- Mark my words.
- -That felt good.
- -Not good, brilliant.
- Come on. We should be at Hagrid's.

- The Leaky Cauldron.
- Hey, if you have pea soup, make sure you eat it before it eats you.
- -But the Muggles. Can't they see us?
- -Muggles?
- They don't see nothing, do they?
- No, but if you jab them with a fork, they feel.
- Ernie, little old lady at 12 o'clock!

Hermione: Headmaster, you've got to stop them! They've got the wrong man!
Harry: It's true, sir! Sirius is innocent!
Ron: It's Scabbers who did it.
Dumbledore: Scabbers?
Ron: He's my rat, sir. Well he's not really a rat. Well, he was a rat, he was my brother Percy's rat, but then they gave him an owl, and I got...
Hermione: The *point* is, we know the truth. Please believe us.

- -Look. It's Lupin.
- -Immobulus!
- And Snape's coming.
- And now we wait.
- And now we wait.

- Awful things happen to wizards who meddle with time, Harry.
- We can't be seen.
- Do you remember this walkpath, Minister?
- Fudge is coming.
- And we aren't leaving?
- Why aren't we leaving?

Hermione: It's meant to be the most haunted building in Britain. Did I mention that?
Ron: Twice.
Hermione: Oh. Do you want to move a bit closer?
Ron: Huh?
Hermione: To the Shrieking Shack.
Ron: Oh, no. I'm fine here.

- Come on!
- Move!
- Duck!

- ...who would kill you as soon as look at you.
- And then?
- And then he asked for the worst, did old Lucius.
- They're not sacking you!
- No, I'm not sacked.
- Buckbeak's been sentenced to death!

Professor: Why you insolent, little...
Professor: ...Professor.

- Lumos.
- I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.

Pansy: [looking at Malfoy's arm in a sling] Does it hurt terribly, Draco?
Malfoy: It comes and it goes. Still, I consider myself luckily. If it wasn't for Madame Pomfrey, another minute or two and I could have lost my arm; couldn't possibly do any homework for weeks.

- Harry!
- Remus! Remus!
- Run! Run!

- Look. Buckbeak's still alive.
- Of course.
- Remember what Dumbledore said?
- If we succeed, more than one innocent life could be spared.
- Let's go.

- Do not give him one again.
- Hey, Neville, try an elephant.
- -Ron, catch.
- -I will.
- I think we have a winner.
- -Oh, don't try one of them.
- -Oh, no.
- Look at him. His face.

Hogwarts: [singing] In the cauldron boil and bake / Fillet of a fenny snake / Scale of dragon, Tooth of wolf / Witches, mummy, maw and gulf / Double, double, toil and trouble / Fire burn and cauldron bubble! / Double, double, toil and trouble / Fire burn and cauldron bubble! / Double, double, toil and trouble / Fire burn and cauldron bubble! / Something wicked this way comes!

- Right, you lot. Less chattering.
- Form a group over there.
- And open your books to page 49.
- Exactly how do we do that?
- Just stroke the spine, of course.
- Goodness me.

- I know.
- Well, I can understand if you choose to stay with your aunt and uncle...
- ...but if you ever wanted a different home...
- What? Come and live with you?
- Oh, It's just a thought.
- I can understand if you don't want to.
- Harry!

- Fortuna Major.
- Here, listen. She just won't let me in.
- -Fortuna Major.
- -No, no. Wait, wait.
- Watch this.

Harry: Professor, why do the dementors affect me so? More than anyone else, I mean?
Professor: Listen, dementors are among the foulest creatures to walk this earth. They feed on every good feeling, every happy memory until a person is left with nothing but his worst experiences. The dementors affect you more than others because there are true horrors in your past, horrors your classmates can scarcely imagine. You are not weak, Harry. You have nothing to be ashamed of.
Harry: I'm scared, Professor.
Professor: Well, I'd consider you a fool if you weren't.

- Then it'll be you!
- Are you going to kill me, Harry?
- Expelliarmus!
- Well, well, Sirius.
- Looking rather ragged, aren't we?
- Finally, the flesh reflects the madness within.
- Well, you'd know all about the madness within, wouldn't you, Remus?

- Now Tom will show you to your room.
- Hedwig.
- Oh, by the way, Harry.
- Whilst you're here, it would be best if you didn't...
- ...wander.
- Right! You gonna move that bus or what?

Ron: I didn't mean to open it.
[pause]
Ron: It was badly wrapped.
[pause]
Ron: [points at Fred and George] They made me do it!
George: Did not!

- Oh, Vernon.
- Oh, God.
- Marge!
- Please!
- Marge!
- Come back!

- No.
- I felt weird, though.
- Like I'd never be cheerful again.
- But someone was screaming.
- A woman.
- No one was screaming, Harry.

- She's gone mental, Hermione has.
- I mean, not that she wasn't always mental...
- ...but now it's certainly in the open for everyone to see.
- Hang on.
- -We better take this back.
- -I'm not going back.
- -Fine. See you later.
- -See you.

Stan: Take her away, Ern.
Shrunken: [With a Jamaican accent] Yeah, take it away, Ernie! Fasten your safety belts, clench your buttocks! It's going be a bumpy ride!

Peter: What would you have done, Sirius?
Sirius: I would have died! I would have died rather than betray my friends, as we would have done for you!

- You see it all the time with dogs.
- If there's something's wrong with the bitch, then something's wrong with the pup.
- Shut up! Shut up!
- Right.
- Let me tell you...

- Expecto Patronum!
- Expecto Patronum!
