- Sirius Black: 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 Black: 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]
- Dumbledore: A child's voice, however honest and true, is meaningless to those who've forgotten how to listen.
- 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.
- 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.
- Malfoy: Ah, come to see the show?
- Hermione: [shouts] You! You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!
- [Hermione raises her wand at Malfoy. He backs against the wall, whimpering]
- Ron: Hermione, no! He's not worth it.
- [Hermione lowers her wand and turns away. Malfoy starts laughing, she spins around and socks him in the nose]
- Vincent Crabbe: Malfoy! Are you okay? Come on, let's go!
- Malfoy: [running away] Quick! Not a word to anyone! Understood?
- Hermione: That felt good.
- Ron: Not good, brilliant!
- Stan Shunpike: What you doin' down there?
- Harry: I fell over.
- Stan Shunpike: What you fell over for?
- Harry: I didn't do it on purpose.
- Stan Shunpike: Well come on then! Let's not wait for the grass to grow!
- Professor Snape: Expelliarmus! Ah, vengeance is sweet. How I hoped I'd be the one to catch you.
- [to Lupin]
- Professor Snape: I told Dumbledore you were helping an old friend enter the castle and now here's the proof.
- Sirius Black: 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 Snape: [raises his wand at Black] Give me a reason. I beg you.
- Professor Lupin: Severus, don't be a fool...
- Sirius Black: He can't help it. It's habit by now.
- Professor Lupin: Sirius, be quiet!
- Sirius Black: Be quiet yourself, Remus!
- Professor Snape: Listen to you two, quarrelling like an old married couple.
- Sirius Black: Why don't you run along and play with your chemistry set?
- Professor Snape: [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 Snape: 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.
- Professor Snape: [taps the blank Marauder's Map with his wand] Reveal your secrets.
- [writing appears on the map]
- Professor Snape: Read it.
- Harry: "Messrs. Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, offer their compliments to Professor Snape and... "
- Professor Snape: Go on.
- Harry: "... and request that he keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business."
- Professor Lupin: The very first time I saw you Harry, I recognized you immediately. Not by your scar, by your eyes. They're your mother; Lily's. Yes, I knew her. You mother was there for me at a time when no one else was. Not only was she a singularly gifted witch, she was also an uncommonly kind woman. She had a way of seeing the beauty in others, even, and perhaps most especially, when that person couldn't see it in themselves. Your father, James, however, had a certain, shall we say, talent for trouble. A talent, rumor has it, he passed onto you. You're more like them then you know, Harry. In time you'll come to see just how much.
- Sirius Black: Enough talk, Remus! C'mon, let's kill him!
- Professor Lupin: Wait!
- Sirius Black: I did my waiting! Twelve years of it! In Azkaban!
- Professor Lupin: 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 Lupin: 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 Black: Peter Pettigrew! And he's in this room, right now! Come out, come out, Peter! Come out and play!
- Sirius Black: Sorry about the bite, I reckon that twinges a bit.
- Ron: A bit? A bit? You almost tore my leg off!
- Sirius Black: 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.
- [about Hogwarts]
- Sirius Black: It's beautiful, isn't it? I'll never forget the first time I walked through those doors. It'll be nice to do it again as a free man.
- [about Pettigrew]
- Sirius Black: That was a noble thing you did back there. He doesn't deserve it.
- Harry: Well, I just didn't think my dad would've wanted his two best friends to become killers. Besides, dead the truth dies with him. Alive, you're free.
- Professor Lupin: What frightens you most in the world?
- Neville Longbottom: [mumbling] Pfsr Snpe.
- Professor Lupin: I'm sorry?
- Neville Longbottom: Professor Snape.
- [laughter]
- Professor Lupin: Professor Sna- yes, he frightens all.
- Peter Pettigrew: What would you have done, Sirius?
- Sirius Black: I would have died! I would have died rather than betray my friends, as we would have done for you!
- Harry: Professor, can I ask you something?
- Professor Lupin: 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 Lupin: I'm very impressed. That suggests that what you fear most of all... is fear itself. This is very wise.
- Professor Lupin: Now repeat after me - without wands please - repeat after me, Riddikulus.
- Class: Riddikulus!
- Professor Lupin: Very good. A little louder please, and very clearly. Rid-di-kulus.
- Class: Riddikulus!
- Malfoy: [under his breath] This class is ridiculous.
- 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!
- [Harry has just successfully conjured a Patronus]
- Professor Lupin: You know something, Harry? I think you would have given your father a run for his money, and THAT is saying something.
- [beat]
- Harry: I was thinking of him... and Mum. Seeing their faces. They were talking to me, just talking. That's the memory I chose. I don't even know if it's real. But it's the best I have.
- Dumbledore: Professor Kettleburn, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher for many years, has decided to retire in order to spend more time with his remaining limbs.
- Harry: Professor, why do the dementors affect me so? More than anyone else, I mean?
- Professor Lupin: 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 Lupin: Well, I'd consider you a fool if you weren't.
- 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 Weasley, Fred Weasley: Did not!
- Stan Shunpike: Take her away, Ern.
- Shrunken Head: [With a Jamaican accent] Yeah, take it away, Ernie! Fasten your safety belts, clench your buttocks! It's going be a bumpy ride!
- Professor Trelawney: Your aura is pulsing! Are you in the beyond? I think you are!
- Ron: Sure...
- Professor Trelawney: Look at the cup, tell me what you see!
- Ron: Oh yeah... well, Harry's got a sort of wonky cross... that's trials and suffering. And, uh, that there could be the sun, and that's happiness, so... you're gonna suffer... but you're gonna be happy about it...
- Ron: I'm warning you Hermione! Keep that bloody beast of yours away from Scabbers or I'll turn it into a tea cozy!
- Hermione: It's a cat, Ronald! What do you expect? It's in his nature.
- Ron: A cat? Is that what they told you? It looks more like a pig with hair if you ask me.
- Hermione: That's rich, coming from the owner of that smelly old shoe brush. It's alright, Crookshanks. Just ignore the mean little boy.
- Dumbledore: Mysterious thing, time. Powerful, and when meddled with, dangerous. Sirius Black is in the topmost cell of the dark tower. You know the laws, Miss Granger. You must not be seen, and you would do well, I feel, to return before this last chime. If not, the consequences are too ghastly to discuss. If you succeed tonight, more than one innocent life may be spared. Three turns, should do it, I think.
- [He starts to exit, turns back]
- Dumbledore: Oh, by the way. When in doubt, I find retracing my steps to be a wise place to begin. Good luck.
- [He exits]
- Ron: What the bloody hell was that all about?
- Professor Snape: 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.
- Harry: [in reference to Sirius Black on the front cover of the Daily Prophet] Who is that? That man?
- Stan Shunpike: 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 Shunpike: He's a murderer. Got himself locked up in Azkaban for it.
- Harry: How did he escape?
- Stan Shunpike: 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.
- Hogwarts Choir: [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!
- Harry: Before, down by the lake when I was with Sirius, I did see someone. That someone made the Dementors go away.
- Hermione: With a patronus? I heard Snape telling Dumbledore. According to him, only a really powerful wizard could've conjured it.
- Harry: It was my dad. It was my dad who conjured the patronus.
- Hermione: But Harry, your dad's...
- Harry: Dead, I know. I'm just telling you what I saw.
- [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.
- Harry: What's the holdup?
- Ron: Probably Neville's forgotten the password again.
- Neville Longbottom: [behind them] Hey!
- Ron: Oh... You're there...
- Hagrid: First thing you wanna know about hippogriffs, is that they're very proud creatures, very easily offended. You do not want to insult a hippogriff. It may just be the last thing you ever do. Now, who'd like to come and say hello?
- [everyone but Harry takes one step back]
- Hagrid: Well done, Harry, well done!
- Pansy Parkinson: [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.
- Sirius Black: You know the man you truly are, Remus! This heart is where you truly live! This heart! Here! This flesh is only flesh!
- 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.
