Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2009) Quotes

These are mad times we live in! Mad!

Voldemort has chosen Draco Malfoy for a mission

Hermione Granger : Hey! She's only interested in you because she thinks you're the Chosen One.
Harry Potter : But I am the Chosen One.
Harry Potter : Sorry... kidding!

This memory is a different kind of magic. Very dark. Very parcel. Without it, we are blind. It leaves the fate of our world to chance. You have no choice, you must not fail. Once again, I must ask too much of you, Harry.

Oh, to be young and to feel love's keen sting.

Draco... you are no assassin.

Fight back, you cowards, fight back!

Fight back, you cowards!

Harry Potter : I'm not coming back Hermione. I've got to finish whatever Dumbledore started, and I don't know where that'll lead me, but I'll let you and Ron know where I am when I can.
Hermione Granger : I've always admired your courage Harry, but sometimes you can be really thick. You don't really think you're going to be able to find all those horcruxes by yourself do you? You need us Harry.

I never noticed how beautiful this place is.

Waitress : "Harry Potter." Who's Harry Potter?
Harry Potter : Oh, no one. Bit of a tosser, really.

Snape! He trusted you!

Rubeus Hagrid : Seriously misunderstood creatures, spiders are. It's the eyes, I reckon, they unnerve some folk.
Harry Potter : Not to mention the pincers...

Be brave, Professor. Be brave like my mother... Otherwise, you disgrace her. Otherwise, she died for nothing. Otherwise, the bowl will remain empty... forever.

Albus Dumbledore : Are you and her...?
Harry Potter : Oh no, no, no. I mean, she's brilliant, but we're friends.

Ginny Weasley : That can stay hidden up here too, if you like.
Ron Weasley : So, did you and Ginny do it, then?
Harry Potter : What?
Ron Weasley : You know, hide the book?
Harry Potter : Oh... yeah.

Without this memory, it leaves the fate of our world to chance. You must not fail.

Horace Slughorn :Harry!
Harry Potter : Sir!

Do you mind if I take this, Horace? I do love knitting patterns.

This is beyond anything I imagine.

This is beyond anything I have imagined.

Once again, I must ask too much of you, Harry.

Ron Weasley : You heard Snape say he's made an Unbreakable Vow?
Harry Potter : Yes. What does it mean?
Ron Weasley : Well, you can't break an Unbreakable Vow!
Harry Potter : I worked that much out for myself, funny enough.

It was a student who gave me Francis. One Spring afternoon I discovered a bowl on my desk, just a few inches of clear water in it. Floating on the surface was a flower petal. As I washed, it sank. Just when it reached the bottom, it transformed into a wee fish. It was beautiful magic, wondrous to the behold. The flower petal had come from a lily, your mother. The day I came downstairs, the day the bowl was empty, was the day your mother...

Waitress : "Harry Potter." Who's Harry Potter?
Harry Potter : Oh, no one. Bit of a tosser, really.

Now get out of here at once!

Ah, Harry... you need a shave, my friend.

Ron Weasley : What do you think Dean sees in her?
Harry Potter : Well, she's funny, smart, attractive.
Ron Weasley : Attractive?
Harry Potter : She has nice... skin.
Ron Weasley : Skin? You're saying he's dating my sister because she has nice skin?

Ron Weasley : Hermione has nice skin.
Harry Potter : Oh, yes. Very nice.

Horace Slughorn : Exactly how did you get out of the castle, Harry?
Harry Potter : Through the front door sir.

Horace Slughorn : Harry! I must insist you accompany me back to the castle immediately!
Harry Potter : That would be counterproductive, sir!
Horace Slughorn : What makes you say that?
Harry Potter : No idea!

Harry Potter : Did you know, sir? Then?
Albus Dumbledore : Did I know that I just met the most dangerous dark wizard of all time? No. If I had...

Harry Potter : What happens when you break an Unbreakable Vow?
Ron Weasley : You die.

Remus Lupin : You're blinded by hatred.
Harry Potter : No I'm not!
Remus Lupin : Yes you are!

Harry Potter : But, Sir, I thought we weren't allowed to apparate on Hogwarts' grounds.
Albus Dumbledore : Well, being me... has its privileges.

Ron Weasley : He even sleeps with it.
Harry Potter : I don't sleep with it!

Now, Amortentia doesn't create actual love, that would be impossible. But it does cause powerful infatuation or obsession, and for that reason... it is probably the most dangerous potion in this room.

Bellatrix Lestrange :Well look what we have here. Dumbledore wandless, alone and cornered in his own castle! Well done, Draco!
Albus Dumbledore : Good evening, Bellatrix. I think introductions are in order.
Bellatrix Lestrange : Love to, Albus, but I'm afraid we're on a bit of a tight schedule.
Bellatrix Lestrange : Do it!
Fenrir Greyback : He doesn't have the stomach, like his father. Let me finish him in my own way.
Bellatrix Lestrange : No! The Dark Lord was clear, the boy's to do it.

Horace Slughorn : What about you, Miss Granger? What do your parents do in the muggle world?
Hermione Granger : Ah, my parents are dentists.
Horace Slughorn : And is that considered a dangerous profession?

Farewell, Aragog. King of the arachnids. Your body will decay... but your spirit lingers on and your human friends find solace, the loss they have sustained.

Horace Slughorn : Thank you for the pineapple, you're quite right, it is my favorite - but how did you know?
Tom Riddle - Age 16 : Intuition.

I taught the whole Black family, except Sirius, it's a shame. I got Regulus when he came around of course, but I would have liked the set.

All right, I'll do it! But I want Professor Merrythought's office, not that water closet I had before. And I want a raise, these are mad times we live in. MAD!

Please don't think badly of me when you see it. You have no idea what he was like... even back then.

Ron Weasley : Hello darling fancy a drink?
Horace Slughorn : Perhaps you're right Harry.

Every day. Every hour. This very minute, in fact, dark forces attempt to penetrate these walls. This time, I cannot help you destroy it... alone.

This is beyond anything I imagine. This is a different kind of magic. Very dark. Very parcel. Once again, I must ask too much of you, Harry.

I admit you do make a very convincing armchair, Horace.

This memory is everything.

Without this, it leaves the fate of our world to chance.

You're the Chosen One, Harry.

Harry, I'd like you to meet Professor Horace Slughorn.

Years ago, I met a boy. He made all the wrong choices. You see, a student, like any other... his name was Tom Riddle. Today, the world knows him by another name... Voldemort.

Albus Dumbledore : [talking about Tom Riddle in the Great Hall] Every day, every hour, this very minute, perhaps, dark forces attempt to penetrate this castle's walls.
Albus Dumbledore : But in the end, their greatest weapon... is you.

Albus Dumbledore : Severus... please...
Severus Snape : Avada Kedavra!

Horace, do you mind if I take this? I do love knitting patterns.

Severus Snape : Has it ever crossed your brilliant mind that I don't want to do this anymore?
Albus Dumbledore : Whether it has or it hasn't is irrelevant; you gave me your word.

Albus Dumbledore : Draco, years ago I knew a boy who made all the wrong choices. Please let me help you!
Draco Malfoy : I don't need your help! Don't you understand? I have to do this! I have to kill you... or he's gonna kill me!

Lavender Brown : Ah! See? He senses my presence.
Lavender Brown : Don't worry, Won-Won! I'm here. I'm here.
Ron Weasley : Her... my... nee. Hermione...
Albus Dumbledore : Oh, to be young and to feel love's keen sting.
