Goblet of Fire has never really been one of my favorites in the series. And for some reason, this time around, it took a very long time for me to get through it. Still, I made it through and took down a bunch of quotes that I love. Here they are!
p. 19 Asleep was the way Harry liked the Dursleys best; it wasn’t as though they were ever any help to him awake.
p. 84 “I like a healthy breeze ’round my privates, thanks.”
p. 157 There was a funny spluttering noise from behind them. Pgwidgeon was choking on an overlarge Owl Treat.
“Why is everyone I own rubbish?” said Ron furiously, striding across the room to unstick Pigwidgeon’s beak.p. 167 “But I think Durmstrang must be somewhere in the far north,” said Hermione thoughtfully. “Somewhere very cold, because they’ve got fur capes as part of their uniforms.”
“Ah, think of the possibilities,” said Ron dreamily. “It would’ve been so easy to push Malfoy off a glacier and make it look like an accident. … Shame his mother likes him…”p. 201 “Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender?” said Ron.
p. 216 So that was how his parents had died…exactly like that spider. Had they been unblemished and unmarked too? Had they simply seen the flash of green light and heard the rush of speeding death, before life was wiped from their bodies?
p. 287 “I’m not stupid, you know.”
“You’re doing a really good impression of it,” Harry snapped.p. 317 It is a strange thing, but when you are dreading something, and would give anything to slow down time, it has a disobliging habit of speeding up.
p. 384 “Percy wouldn’t recognize a joke if it danced naked in front of him wearing Dobby’s tea cozy.”
p. 534 “Poor old Snuffles,” said Ron, breathing deeply. “He must really like you, Harry. … Imagine having to live off rats.”
p. 696 For a fleeting instant, Harry thought he saw a gleam of something like triumph in Dumbledore’s eyes. But next second, Harry was sure he had imagined it, for when Dumbledore had returned to his seat behind the desk, he looked as old and weary as Harry had every seen him.
p. 722 “It is my belief, however, that the truth is generally preferable to lies, and that any attempt to pretend that Cedric died as the result of an accident, or some sort of blunder of his own, is an insult to his memory.”
p. 724 “Remember Cedric. 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.”
