Quotes 

  • Ron : [Harry and Ron arrive late to Transfiguration, relieved that Professor McGonagall isn't there yet]  Whew, made it. Can you imagine the look on old McGonagall's face if we were late?

    [the cat sitting at the head of the class suddenly transforms into her] 

    Ron : That was bloody brilliant!

    Professor McGonagall : Well, thank you for that assessment, Mr Weasley. Perhaps it would be more useful if I were to transfigure Mr Potter and yourself into a pocket watch? That way, one of you might be on time.

    Harry : We got lost.

    Professor McGonagall : Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats.

  • Professor McGonagall : [to Harry and Ron after beating the Mountain Troll]  Five points... will be awarded to each of you.

    [Ron and Harry smile at each other] 

    Professor McGonagall : For sheer dumb luck.

  • Professor McGonagall : Nothing, I repeat, nothing gives a student the right to walk about the school at night. Therefore, as punishment for your actions, 50 points will be taken.

    Harry : 50?

    [Ron and Hermione also looking shocked, Draco smirking] 

    Professor McGonagall : Each.

    [Harry's mouth drops open] 

    Professor McGonagall : And to ensure it doesn't happen again, all four of you will receive detention.

    Draco Malfoy : [smirk suddenly fades and steps up]  Excuse me, professor, perhaps I heard you wrong. I thought you said the four of us.

    Professor McGonagall : No, you heard me correctly, Mr. Malfoy. You see, honorable as your intentions were, you too were out of bed after hours. You will join your classmates in detention.

  • Professor McGonagall : Albus, do you really think it safe, leaving him with these people? I've watched them all day. They're the worst sort of Muggles imaginable. They really are...

    Dumbledore : The only family he has.

    Professor McGonagall : This boy will be famous. There won't be a child in our world who doesn't know his name.

    Dumbledore : Exactly. He's far better off growing up away from all of that. Until he is ready.

  • Dumbledore : [walks onto Privet Drive and takes out lights with tool]  I should have known that you would be here, Professor McGonagall.

    [to Professor McGonagall, who is a cat] 

    Professor McGonagall : [transforms into a human]  Good evening, Professor Dumbledore.

    [walks with Dumbledore] 

    Professor McGonagall : Are the rumors true, Albus?

    Dumbledore : I'm afraid so, Professor. The good... and the bad.

    Professor McGonagall : And the boy?

    Dumbledore : Hagrid is bringing him.

    Professor McGonagall : Do you think it wise to trust Hagrid with something this important?

    Dumbledore : Ah, Professor, I would trust Hagrid with my life.

    [Hagrid appears on a flying motorcycle with baby Harry Potter] 

    Hagrid : Professor Dumbledore, sir, Professor McGonagall.

    Dumbledore : No problems, I trust, Hagrid?

    Hagrid : No, sir. Little tike fell asleep just as we were flyin' over Bristol. Try not to wake him.

    [gives Harry to Dumbledore and McGonagall] 

    Hagrid : There yeh go.

    Professor McGonagall : Albus, do you really think it's safe to leave him with these people? I've watched them all day, they're the worst sort of Muggles imaginable! They really are.

    Dumbledore : They're the only family he has.

    Professor McGonagall : This boy will be famous. There won't be a child in the world who won't know his name!

    Dumbledore : Exactly. He's far better off growing up away from that, until he's ready.

    [puts Harry on the Dursley's front step and looks at Hagrid, who is crying] 

    Dumbledore : There there, Hagrid, it's not really goodbye after all.

    [Hagrid nods, while Dumbledore leaves a letter for the Dursleys on Harry] 

    Dumbledore : Good luck, Harry Potter.

    [the camera shoots to Harry's scar] 

  • Professor McGonagall : Are the rumors true, Albus?

    Dumbledore : I'm afraid so, Professor. The good... and the bad.

  • Professor McGonagall : Are you sure you could trust Hagrid with such an important thing?

    Dumbledore : I would trust Hagrid with my own life.

    [Hagrid appears on a motorcycle with baby Harry] 

  • [first lines] 

    Professor McGonagall : [as a cat]  Mraow!

    Dumbledore : I should have known that you would be here, Professor McGonagall.

    [Professor McGonagall transfigures into her human self]
