J.K. Rowling birthday is today! In her honor, let's recall some of her best quotes on Harry Potter.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY J.K. ROWLING!

As we celebrate today the British author&#39;s&nbsp;birthday (and the one of her&nbsp;main character: Harry Potter) , we would&nbsp;like to thank her for teaching us how to fly away with our imagination on a Nimbus 2000, how to escape from a dragon, how to defeat a&nbsp;Dark Lord and especially, and most important, the meaning of friendship, courage and love.

With that said, some &quot;thank you&quot; will never be enough for a &nbsp;woman who brought magic into our muggles&#39; world.

Let&#39;s take a walk down memory lane and remeber some of the best quotes in the Harry Potter&#39;s books, shall we?

&nbsp;

Harry Potter and the Philosopher&#39;s Stone

&quot;Your mother died to save you. If there is one thing Voldemort cannot understand, it is love. He didn&#39;t realize that love as powerful as your mother&#39;s for you leaves its own mark. Not a scar, no visible sign...to have been loved so deeply, even though the person who loved us is gone, will give us some protection foever. It is in your very skin.&quot;

Professor Dumbledore

&quot;It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that&quot;

Professor Dumbledore

&quot;There are all kinds of courage,&#39;It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends&quot;

Professor Dumbledore

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

&ldquo;Dobby wants to save Harry Potter&rsquo;s life! Better sent home, grievously injured, than remain here sir! Dobby only wanted Harry Potter hurt enough to be sent home!&rdquo;

Dobby

&ldquo;It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

Professor Dumbledore

&ldquo;See why I&rsquo;ve got to go back? I don&rsquo;t belong here. I belong in your world, at Hogwarts.&rdquo;

Harry Potter

&ldquo;He&rsquo;ll never be gone. Not as long as those who remain are loyal to him.&rdquo;

Harry Potter

&ldquo;Why spiders? Why couldn&rsquo;t it be &lsquo;follow the butterflies&#39;&nbsp;&rdquo;

Ron Weasley

&quot;Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.&rdquo;

Hermione Granger

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

&ldquo;You think the dead we loved ever truly leave us? You think that we don&rsquo;t recall them more clearly than ever in times of great trouble? Your father is alive in you, Harry, and shows himself plainly when you have need of him.&rdquo;

Professor Dumbledore

&ldquo;Hasn&rsquo;t your experience with the Time-Turner taught you anything, Harry? The consequences of our actions are always so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed. &quot;

Professor Dumbledore

&quot;I solmenly swear that I am up to no good.&quot;

George Weasley

&quot;That suggests that what you fear most of all is&mdash;fear. Very wise, Harry.&quot;

Professor Lupin

&quot;The consequences of our actions are so complicated, so diverse, that predicting the future is a very difficult business indeed.&quot;

&nbsp;Albus Dumbledore

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

&ldquo;If you want to know what a man&#39;s like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.&rdquo;

Sirius Black

&ldquo;It matters not what someone is born, but what they grow to be.&rdquo;

Professor Dumbledore

&ldquo;Numbing the pain for a while will make it worse when you finally feel it.&rdquo;

Professor Dumbledore

&ldquo;Remember, if the time should come when you have to make a choice between what is right and what is easy, remember what happened to a boy who was good, and kind, and brave, because he strayed across the path of Lord Voldemort. Remember Cedric Diggory.&rdquo;

Professor Dumbledore

&ldquo;We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.&rdquo;

Professor Dumbledore

&ldquo;Understanding is the first step to acceptance, and only with acceptance can there be recovery.&rdquo;

Professor Dumbledore

Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix

&quot;He chose the boy he thought most likely to be a danger to him &hellip; and notice this, Harry. He chose, not the pureblood (which according to his creed, is the only kind of wizard worth being or knowing), but the half-blood, like himself. He saw himself in you before he had ever seen you, and in marking you with that scar, he did not kill you, as he intended, but gave you powers, and a future, which have fitted you to escape him not once, but four times so far.&quot;

Professor Dumbledore

&ldquo;Just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn&#39;t mean we all have.&rdquo;

Hermione Granger

&ldquo;Is it true that you shouted at Professor Umbridge?&quot; 
&quot;Yes.&quot; 
&quot;You called her a liar?&quot; 
&quot;Yes.&quot; 
&quot;You told her He Who Must Not Be Named is back?&quot; 
&quot;Yes.&quot; 
&quot;Have a biscuit, Potter.&rdquo;

Minerva McGonagall

&ldquo;Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.&rdquo;

Luna Lovegood

&ldquo;You care so much you feel as though you will bleed to death with the pain of it.&rdquo;

Professor Dumbledore

&ldquo;The world isn&rsquo;t split into good people and Death Eaters. We all got both light and dark inside of us. What matters is the part we choose to act on&rdquo;

Sirius Black

&nbsp;

Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

&ldquo;It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.&rdquo;

Professor Dumbledore

&ldquo;Dumbledore says people find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right.&rdquo;

Harry Potter

&ldquo;The thing about growing up with Fred and George,&nbsp;is that you sort of start thinking anything&#39;s possible if you&#39;ve got enough nerve.&rdquo;

Ginny Weasley

&ldquo;It is impossible to manufacture or imitate love.&rdquo;

Professor Dumbledore

&ldquo;Sometimes you remind me a lot of James. He called it my &#39;furry little problem&#39; in company. Many people were under the impression that I owned a badly behaved rabbit.&rdquo;

Professor Lupin&nbsp;

&ldquo;Dumbledore would have been happier than anybody to think that there was a little more love in the world.&rdquo;

Professor McGonagall

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

&ldquo;Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?&rdquo;

Professor Dumbledore

&ldquo;Do not pity the dead, Harry. Pity the living, and, above all those who live without love.&rdquo;

Professor Dumbledore

&quot;After all this time?&quot; 
&quot;Always,&quot; said Snape.

Professor Snape

&ldquo;He must have known I&#39;d want to leave you.&quot; &quot;No, he must have known you would always want to come back.&rdquo;

Ron Weasley

&ldquo;You think I&#39;m a fool?&quot; demanded Harry.&quot;No, I think you&#39;re like James,&quot; said Lupin, &quot;who would have regarded it as the height of dishonor to mistrust his friends.&rdquo;

Professor Lupin

&quot;I&#39;m going to keep going until I succeed &mdash; or die. Don&#39;t think I don&#39;t know how this might end. I&#39;ve known it for years.&quot;

Harry Potter

&ldquo;Not my daughter, you b*tch!&quot;

Molly Weasley

&ldquo;You&#39;ll stay with me?&#39; 
&quot;Until the very end&quot;

James Potter

&ldquo;It is a curious thing, Harry, but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it. Those who, like you, have leadership thrust upon them, and take up the mantle because they must, and find to their own surprise that they wear it well.&rdquo;

Professor Dumbledore

&nbsp;

The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.

Happy Birthday J.K. Rowling (and Harry Potter)
