Philosopher's Stone
“Oh, are Ты a prefect Percy? Ты should have сказал(-а) something, we had no idea.”
“Hang on I think I remember him saying something about it once…”
“Or twice-''
“A minute-''
“All summer-''
------------------------------------------------------------------
“So light a fire!” Harry choked.
“Yes… of course… but there’s no wood!” Hermione cried, wringing her hands.
“HAVE Ты GONE MAD!” Ron bellowed. “ARE Ты A WITCH или NOT!”
----------------------------------------
“Everybody finished the song at different times. At last, only the Weasley twins were left Пение along to a very slow funeral march.
----------------------------------------
Lee Jordan was finding it difficult not to take sides.
“So-after that obvious and disgusting bit of cheating-“
“Jordan!” growled Professor McGonagall.
“I mean, after that open and revolting foul-“
“Jordan, I’m warning you-“
“All right, all right. Flint nearly kills the Gryffindor Seeker, which could happen to anyone I’m sure…”
----------------------------------------
“They stuff people’s heads down the toilet the first день at Stonewall,” Dudley told Harry. “want to come upstairs and practice?”
“No, thanks,” сказал(-а) Harry. “The poor toilet’s never had anything as horrible as your head down it- it might be sick.”
---------------------------------------
“You haven’t got a letter on yours,” George observed. “I suppose she thinks Ты don’t forget your name. But we’re not stupid – we know we’re called Gred and Forge.”
---------------------------------------
“Fred Ты next,” the plump woman said.
“I’m not Fred, I’m George,” сказал(-а) the boy. “Honestly, woman, Ты call yourself our mother! Can’t Ты tell I’m George?”
“Sorry, George, dear.”
“Only joking, I am Fred,” сказал(-а) the boy, and off he went.
---------------------------------------
“And what if I wave my wand and nothing happens?”
“Throw it away and перфоратор, удар, пунш him in the nose,” suggested Ron.
---------------------------------------
One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts woke to find itself covered in several feet of snow. The lake froze solid and the Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snowballs so that they followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dudley looked a lot like Uncle Vernon. He had a large розовый face, not much neck, small watery blue eyes, and thick blonde hair that lay smoothly on his thick, fat head. Aunt петуния often сказал(-а) that Dudley looked like a baby angel. Harry often сказал(-а) that Dudley looked like a pig in a wig.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"So Ты mean the Stone's only безопасно, сейф as long as Quirrell stands up to Snape?" сказал(-а) Hermione in alarm.
"It'll be gone by Далее Tuesday," сказал(-а) Ron.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking quietly so that no one else would hear, Harry told the other two about Snape's sudden, sinister desire to be a Quidditch referee.
"Don't play," сказал(-а) Hermione at once.
"Say you're ill," сказал(-а) Ron.
"Pretend to break your leg," Hermione suggested.
"Really break your leg," сказал(-а) Ron.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Your aunt and uncle will be proud, though, won't they?" сказал(-а) Hermione as they got off the train and joined the crowd thronging toward the Зачарованная barrier. "When they hear what Ты did this year?"
"Proud?" сказал(-а) Harry. "Are Ты crazy? All those times I could've died, and I didn't manage it? They'll be furious..."
Chamber of Secrets
Фред and George, however, found all this very funny. They went out of their way to march ahead of Harry down the corridors, shouting, "Make way for the Heir of Slytherin, seriously evil wizard coming through..."
----------------------------------------------------------------
They were almost at King's пересекать, крест when Harry remembered something.
"Ginny--what did Ты see Percy doing, that he didn't want Ты to tell anyone?"
"Oh that," сказал(-а) Ginny, giggling. "Well--Percy's got a girlfriend."
Фред dropped a stack of Книги on George's head. "What?"
"It's that Ravenclaw prefect, Penelope Clearwater," сказал(-а) Ginny. "That's who he was Письмо to all last summer. He's been meeting her all over the school in secret. I walked in on them Поцелуи in an empty classroom one day. He was so upest when she was--you know--attacked. Ты won't tease him, will you?" she added anxiously.
"Wouldn't dream of it," сказал(-а) Fred, who was looking like his birthday had come early.
"Definitely not," сказал(-а) George, sniggering
----------------------------------------------------------------
“’A study of Hogwarts’ Prefects and Their Later Careers,’” Ron read aloud off the back cover. “That sounds fascinating.”
---------------------------------------
“You’re alive,” she сказал(-а) blankly to Harry.
“There’s no need to sound so disappointed,” he сказал(-а) grimly, wiping flecks of blood and slime off his glasses.
---------------------------------------
Hermione, however, clapped a hand to her forehead. “Harry – I think I’ve just understood something! I’ve got to go to the library!” And she sprinted away up the stairs.
“What does she understand?” сказал(-а) Harry distractedly, still looking around, trying to tell where the voice had come from.
“Loads еще than I do.” сказал(-а) Ron shaking his head.
“But why’s she got to go to the library?”
“Because that’s what Hermione does,” сказал(-а) Ron shrugging. “When in doubt, go to the library.”
Prisoner of Azkaban
As though an invisible hand were Письмо upon it, words appeared on the smooth surface of the map. "Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business."
Snape froze. Harry stared, dumbstruck, at the message. But the map didn't stop there. еще Письмо was appearing beneath the first.
"Mr. Prongs agrees with Mr. Moony, and would like to add that Professor Snape is an ugly git."
It would have been funny if the situation hadn't been so serious. And there was more...
"Mr. Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a professor."
Harry closed his eyes in horror. When he'd opened them, the map had had its last word.
"Mr. Wormtail bids Professor Snape good day, and advises him to wash his hair, the slimeball."
----------------------------------------------------------------
George looked up in time to see Malfoy pretending to faint with terror again.
“That little git,” he сказал(-а) calmly. “He wasn’t so cocky last night when the dementors were down at our end of the train. Came running into our compartment, didn’t he. Fred?”
“Nearly wet himself,” сказал(-а) Fred, with a contemptuous glance at Malfoy.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Percy had what were possibly the least helpful words of comfort. “they make a fuss about Hogsmeade, but I assure you, Harry, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.” He сказал(-а) seriously. “All right, the sweetshops rather good, and Zonko’s Joke Shop’s frankly dangerous, and yes, the Shrieking Shack is always worth a visit, but really, Harry, apart from that, you’re not missing anything.”
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Sure Ты can manage that broom, Potter?” сказал(-а) a cold, drawling voice. Draco Malfoy had arrived for a closer look, Crabbe and Goyle right behind him.
“Yeah, reckon so,” сказал(-а) Harry casually.
“Got plenty of special features, hasn’t it?” сказал(-а) Malfoy, eyes glittering maliciously. “Shame it doesn’t come with a parachute – in case Ты get to near a Dementor.” Crabbe and Goyle sniggered.
“Pity Ты can’t attach an extra arm to yours, Malfoy,” сказал(-а) Harry. “Then it could catch the Snitch for you.”
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Well… when we were in our first year, Harry – young, carefree, and innocent-“
Harry snorted. He doubted whether Фред and George had ever been innocent.
---------------------------------------------------------------
(Harry, just being greeted by Percy) “Harry!” сказал(-а) Fred, elbowing Percy out of the way and bowing deeply. “Simply splendid to see you, old boy—“
“Marvelous,” сказал(-а) George, pushing Фред aside and seizing Harry’s hand in turn. “Absolutely spiffing.”
Percy scowled.
“That’s enough, now,” сказал(-а) Mrs. Weasley.
“Mum!” сказал(-а) Фред as though he’d only just spotted her and seizing her hand too. “How really corking to see you—“
----------------------------------------------------------------
“How’re we getting to King’s пересекать, крест tomorrow, Dad?” asked Фред as they dug into a sumptuous pudding.
“The Ministry is providing a couple of cars,” сказал(-а) Mr. Weasley.
Everyone looked up at him.
“Why?” сказал(-а) Percy curiously.
“It’s because of you, Perce,” сказал(-а) George seriously. “And there’ll be little flags on the hoods, with HB on them --“
“—for Humongous Bighead,” сказал(-а) Fred.
Everyone except Percy and Mrs. Weasley snorted into their pudding.
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Where is Wood?” сказал(-а) Harry, suddenly realizing he wasn’t there.
“Still in the showers,” сказал(-а) Fred. “We think he’s trying to drown himself.”
Goblet of Fire
One of them was a very old wizard who was wearing a long flowery nightgown. The other was clearly a Ministry wizard; he was holding out a pair of pinstriped trousers and almost crying with exasperation.
"Just put them on, Archie, there's a good chap. Ты can't walk around like that, the Muggle at the gate's already getting suspicious-"
"I bought this in a Muggle shop," сказал(-а) the old wizard stubbornly. "Muggles wear them."
"Muggle women wear them, Archie, not the men, they wear these," сказал(-а) the Ministry wizard, and he brandished the pinstriped trousers.
"I'm not putting them on," сказал(-а) old Archie in indignation. "I like a healthy breeze 'round my privates, thanks."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"OH NO Ты DON'T, LADDIE!"
Harry spun around. Professor Moody was limping down the marble staircase. His wand was out and it was pointing right at a pure white ferret.
"I want to fix that in my memory forever," сказал(-а) Ron, his closed and an uplifted expression on his face. "Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret..."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh Professor look! I think I found an unaspected planet! Oooh, which one's that, Professor?"
"It is Uranus, my dear," сказал(-а) Professor Trelawney peering down a the chart.
"Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender?" сказал(-а) Ron.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr. Weasley, it's Harry.. the fireplace has been blocked up. Ты won't be able to get through there."
"Damn!" сказал(-а) Mr. Weasley's voice. "What on earth did they want to block the fireplace for?"
"They've got an electric fire," Harry explained.
"Really?" сказал(-а) Mr. Weasley's voice excitedly. "Eclectic, Ты say? With a plug? Gracious, I must see that... Let's think...ouch, Ron!"
Ron's voice now joined the others'.
"What are we doing here? Has something gone wrong?"
"Oh no, Ron," came Fred's voice, very sarcastically. "No, this is exactly where we want to end up."
"Yeah, we're having the time of our lives here," сказал(-а) George, whose voice sounded muffled, as though he was squashed against the wall.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Wild!" he said, twiddling the replay knob on the side. I can make that old bloke down there pick his nose again ... and again ... and again. . ."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"I was saying that Saturn was surely in a position of power in the heavens at the moment of your birth...your dark hair...your mean stature...tragic losses so young in life...I think I am right in saying, my dear, that Ты were born in midwinter?"
"No," сказал(-а) Harry, "I was born in July."
Ron hastily turned his laugh into a hacking cough.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Of course we still want to know you!" Harry said, staring at Hagrid.
"You don't think anything that Skeeter cow - sorry, Professor," he added quickly, looking at Dumbledore.
"I have gone temporarily deaf and haven't any idea what Ты said, Harry," сказал(-а) Dumbledore, twiddling his thumbs and staring at the ceiling.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr. Crouch!" сказал(-а) Percy breathlessly, sunk into a kind of half-bow that made him look like a hunchback. "Would Ты like a cup of tea?"
"Oh," сказал(-а) Mr. Crouch, looking over at Percy in mild surprise. "Yes — thank you, Weatherby."
Фред and George choked into their own cups. Percy, very розовый around the ears, busied himself with the kettle.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Colin, I fell in!" he [Dennis Creevey] сказал(-а) shrilly, throwing himself into an empty seat. "It was brilliant! And something in the water grabbed me and pushed me back in the boat!"
"Cool!" сказал(-а) Colin, just as excitedly. "It was probably the giant squid, Dennis!"
"Wow!" сказал(-а) Dennis, as though nobody in their wildest dreams could hope for еще than being thrown into a storm-tossed, fathoms-deep lake, and pushed out of it again by a giant sea monster.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Maybe he'll believe I'm not enjoying myself once I've got my neck broken или - "
"That's not funny," сказал(-а) Hermione quietly. "That's not funny at all." She looked extremely anxious. "Harry, I've been thinking - Ты know what we've got to do, don't you? Straight away, the moment we get back to the castle?"
"Yeah, give Ron a good kick up the - "
"Write to Sirius."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"What would your head have been doing in Hogsmeade, Potter?" сказал(-а) Snape softly. "Your head is not allowed in Hogsmeade. No part of your body has permission to be in Hogsmeade."
Order of the Phoenix
A week after Фред and George's departure, Harry witnessed Professor McGonagall walking right past Peeves, who was determinedly loosening a crystal chandelier, and could have sworn he heard her tell the poltergeist out of the corner of her mouth, "It unscrews the other way."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mrs. Weasley let out a shriek just like Hermione's.
"I don't believe it! Oh, Ron, how wonderful! A prefect! That's everyone in the family!"
"What are Фред and I, next-door neighbours?" сказал(-а) George indignantly, as his mother pushed him aside and flung her arms around her youngest son.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Yes - yes, good point, Petunia! What were Ты doing under our window, boy?"
"Listening to the news," сказал(-а) Harry in a resigned voice.
His aunt and uncle exchanged looks of outrage.
"Listening to the news! Again?"
"Well, it changes every day, Ты see," сказал(-а) Harry.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Cough drop, Dolores?" сказал(-а) Professor McGonagall.
Half-Blood Prince
"'Harry Potter knows that he can confide in me with complete confidence,' I told them. 'I would rather die than betray his trust.'"
"That's not saying much, seeing as you're already dead," Ron observed.
"Once again, Ты Показать all the sensitivity of a blunt axe," сказал(-а) Nearly Headless Nick in affronted tones.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Do Ты remember me telling Ты we are practicing nonverbal spells, Potter?"
"Yes," сказал(-а) Harry stiffly.
"Yes, sir."
"There's no need to call me 'sir,' Professor."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"You'd think people had better things to gossip about," сказал(-а) Ginny as she sat on the common room floor, leaning against Harry's legs and Чтение the Daily Prophet. "Three Dementor attacks in a week, and all Romilda Vane does is ask me if it's true you've got a Hippogriff tattooed across your chest."
Ron and Hermione both roared with laughter. Harry ignored them.
"What did Ты tell her?"
"I told her it's a Hungarian Horntail," сказал(-а) Ginny, turning a page of the newspaper idly. "Much еще macho."
"Thanks," сказал(-а) Harry, grinning. "And what did Ты tell her Ron's got?"
"A Pygmy Puff, but I didn't say where."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"And that's Smith of Hufflepuff with the Quaffle," сказал(-а) a dreamy voice, echoing over the grounds. "He did the commentary last time, of course, and Ginny Weasley flew into him, I think probably on purpose, it looked like it. Smith was being quite rude about Gryffindor, I expect he regrets that now he's playing them - oh, look, he's Остаться в живых the Quaffle. Ginny took it from him. I do like her, she's very nice..."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fred, George, Harry, and Ron were the only ones who knew that the Энджел on вверх of the дерево was actually a garden gnome that had bitten Фред on the ankle as he pulled up carrots for Рождество dinner. Stupefied, painted gold, stuffed into a miniature tutu and with small wings glued to its back, it glowered down at them all, the ugliest Энджел Harry had ever seen, with a large bald head like a potato and rather hairy feet.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Pointing his wand at nothing in particular, he gave it an upward flick and сказал(-а) Levicorpus! inside his head.
"Aaaaaaaargh!"
There was a flash of light and the room was full of voices: Everyone had woken up as Ron had let out a yell. Harry sent Advanced Potion-Making flying in panic; Ron was dangling upside down in midair as though an invisible hook had hoisted him up by the ankle.
"Sorry!" yelled Harry, as Dean and Seamus roared with laughter, and Neville picked himself up from the floor, having fallen out of bed. "Hang on- I'll let Ты down-"
He groped for the potion book and riffled through it in a panic, trying to find the right page; at last he located it and deciphered one cramped word underneath the spell: Praying that this was the counter-jinx, Harry thought Liberacorpus! with all his might.
There was another flash of light, and Ron fell in a heap onto his mattress.
"Sorry," repeated Harry weakly, while Dean and Seamus continued to roar with laughter.
"Tomorrow," сказал(-а) Ron in a muffled voice, "I'd rather Ты set the alarm clock."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"This is your copy of Advanced Potion-Making, is it, Potter?"
"Yes," сказал(-а) Harry, still breathing hard.
"You're quite sure of that, are you, Potter?"
"Yes," сказал(-а) Harry, with a touch of еще defiance.
"This is the the copy of Advanced Potion-Making that Ты purchased from Flourish and Blotts?"
"Yes," сказал(-а) Harry firmly.
"Then why," asked Snape, "does it have the name 'Roonil Wazlib' written inside the front cover?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
"If I'm having lessons with you, I won't have to do Occlumency with Snape, will I?"
"Professor Snape, Harry - and no, Ты will not."
"Good," сказал(-а) Harry in relief, "because they were a -"
"I think the word 'fiasco' would be a good one here."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Why Are Ты Worrying about You-Know-Who?
Ты SHOULD Be Worrying About
U-NO-POO -
the Constipation Sensation That's Gripping the Nation!
----------------------------------------------------------------
"I would assume that Ты were going to offer me refreshment," Dumbledore сказал(-а) to Uncle Vernon, "but the evidence so far suggests that that would be optimistic to the point of foolishness."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"There is no way they'd let me be a Death Eater!" сказал(-а) Ron indignantly, a bit of sausage flying off the fork he was now brandishing at Hermione and hitting Ernie Macmillan on the head. "My whole family are blood traitors! That's as bad as Muggle-borns to Death Eaters!"
"And they'd Любовь to have me," сказал(-а) Harry sarcastically. "We'd be best pals if they didn't keep trying to do me in."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"I don't think Ты should be an Auror, Harry," сказал(-а) Luna unexpectedly. Everybody looked at her. "The Aurors are part of the Rotfang Conspiracy, I thought everyone knew that. They're planning to bring down the Ministry of Magic from within using a combination of Dark Magic and gum disease."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Women," [Ron] сказал(-а) wisely to Harry, "they're easily upset."
"And yet," сказал(-а) Hermione, coming out of her reverie, "I doubt you'd find a woman who sulked for half an час because Madam Rosmerta didn't laugh at their joke about the hag, the Healer, and the Mimbulus mimbletonia."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh, very good," interrupted Snape, his lip curling. "Yes, it is easy to see that nearly six years of magical education have not been wasted on you, Potter. 'Ghosts are transparent.'"
Deathly Hallows
"How do Ты feel Georgie?" whispered Mrs.Weasley.
George's fingers groped for the side of his head."Saintlike," he murmured.
"What's wrong with him?" croaked Fred, looking terrified. "Is his mind affected?"
"Saintlike," reapted George, opening his eyes and looking up at his nrother. "You see...I'm holy. Holey, Fred, geddit?"
Mrs.Weasley sobbed harder than ever. Color flooded Fred's pale face.
"Pathetic," he told George. "Pathetic! With the whole world of ear-related humor before you, Ты go for holey?"
"Ah well," сказал(-а) George, grinning at his tear-soaked mother. "You'll be able to tell us apart now, anyway, mum."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"The sooner this wedding's over the happier I'll be." [Ron]
"Yeah" сказал(-а) Harry, "then we'll have nothing to do except find Horcruxes....It'll be like a holiday, won't it?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
“I was awake half the night thinking it all over, and I believe it’s a plot to get the house.”
“The house?” repeated Harry. “What house?”
“This house!” shrieked Uncle Vernon, the vein in his forehead starting to pulse. “Our house! House prices are skyrocketing around here! Ты want us out of the way and then you’re going to do a bit of hocus-pocus and before we know it the deeds will be in your name and—“
“Are Ты out of your mind?” demanded Harry. “A plot to get this house? Are Ты actually as stupid as Ты look?”
----------------------------------------------------------------
“How’s Norbert doin’?”
“Norbert?” Charlie laughed. “The Norwegian Ridgeback? We call her Norberta now.”
“Wha—Norbert’s a girl?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ron, Ты know full well Harry and I were brought up by Muggles!” сказал(-а) Hermione. “We didn’t hear stories like that when we were little, we heard ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ and ‘Cinderella’—“
“What’s that, an illness?” asked Ron.
----------------------------------------------------------------
But before [Uncle Bilius] went loopy he was the life and soul of the party,” сказал(-а) Fred. “He used to down an entire bottle of firewhisky, then run onto the dance floor, hoist up his robes, and start pulling bunches of Цветы out of his—“
“Yes, he sounds a real charmer,” сказал(-а) Hermione, while Harry roared with laughter.
“Never married, for some reason,” сказал(-а) Ron.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere in the distance they could hear Peeves zooming through the corridors Пение a victory song of his own composition:
''We did it, we bashed them, wee Potter’s the one, And Voldy’s gone moldy, so now let’s have fun!''
“Really gives a feeling for the scope and tragedy of the thing, doesn’t it?” сказал(-а) Ron.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"What are Ты doing with all those Книги anyway?" Ron asked.
"Just trying to decide which ones to take with us," сказал(-а) Hermione. When we're looking for the Horcruxes."
"Oh, of course," сказал(-а) Ron, clapping a hand to his forehead. "I forgot we'll be hunting down Voldemort in a mobile library."
----------------------------------------------------------------
“If Ты think I’m going to let six people risk their lives - !”
“ – because it’s the first time for all of us,” сказал(-а) Ron.
“This is different, pretending to be me – ”
“Well, none of us really fancy it, Harry,” сказал(-а) Фред earnestly. “Imagine if something went wrong and we were stuck as specky, scrawny gits forever.”
----------------------------------------------------------------
“You can’t do it if I don’t cooperate, Ты need me to give Ты some hair.”
“Well, that’s that plan scuppered,” сказал(-а) George. “Obviously there’s no chance at all of us getting a bit of your hair unless Ты cooperate.”
“Yeah, thirteen of us against one bloke who’s not allowed to use magic; we’ve got no chance,” сказал(-а) Fred.
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Arthur and Фред – ”
“I’m George,” сказал(-а) the twin at whom Moody was pointing. “Can’t Ты even tell us apart when we’re Harry?”
“Sorry, George – ”
“I’m only yanking your wand, I’m Фред really – ”
“Enough messing around!” snarled Moody.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione made purple and Золото streamers erupt from the end of her wand and drape themselves artistically over the trees and bushes.
“Nice,” сказал(-а) Ron, as with one final flourish of her wand, Hermione turned the leaves on the crapapple дерево to gold.
“You’ve really got an eye for that sort of thing.”
“Thank you, Ron!” сказал(-а) Hermione, looking both pleased and a little confused.
Harry turned away, smiling to himself.
He had a funny notion that he would find a chapter on compliments when he found time to peruse his copy of Twelve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches.
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Seventeen, eh!” сказал(-а) Hagrid as he accepted a bucket-sized glass of wine from Fred.
“Six years to the день we met, Harry, d’yeh remember it?”
“Vaguely,” сказал(-а) Harry, grinning up at him. “Didn’t Ты smash down the front door, give Dudley a pig’s tail, and tell me I was a wizard?”
“I forge’ the details,” Hagrid chortled.
----------------------------------------------------------------
He held out his hand, and Scrimgeour leaned вперед again and placed the Snitch, slowly and deliberately, into Harry’s palm.
Nothing happened. As Harry’s fingers closed around the Snitch, its tired wings fluttered and were still.
Scrimgeour, Ron, and Hermione continued to gaze avidly at the now partially concealed ball, as if still hoping it might transform in some way.
“That was dramatic,” сказал(-а) Harry coolly.
Both Ron and Hermione laughed.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Luna: “Daddy, look – one of the gnomes actually bit me!”
“How wonderful! Gnome saliva is enormously beneficial!” сказал(-а) Mr. Lovegood, seizing Luna’s outstretched finger and examining the bleeding puncture marks.
“Luna, my love, if Ты should feel any burgeoning talent today – perhaps an unexpected urge to sing opera или to declaim in Mermish – do not repress it! Ты may have been gifted by the Gernumblies!”
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Expec – Expecto Patronum,” сказал(-а) Hermione. Nothing happened.
“It’s the only spell she ever has trouble with,” Harry told a completely bemused Mrs. Cattermole. “Bit unfortunate, really.”
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione: “’And Death spoke to them – ’”
“Sorry,” interjected Harry, “but Death spoke to them?”
“It’s a fairy tale, Harry!
“Right, sorry. Go on.”
----------------------------------------------------------------
The real Harry thought that this might just be the most bizzarre thing he had ever seen, and he had seen some extremely odd things. He watched as his six doppelgangers rummaged in the sacks, pulling out sets of clothes, putting on flasses, stuffing their own things away. He felt like asking them to Показать a little еще respect for his privacy as they all began stripping off with impunity, clearly much еще at ease with displaying his body than they would have been with their own.
"I knew Ginny was lying about that tattoo," сказал(-а) Ron , looking down at his bare chest.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"So that's little Scorpius,"said Ron under his breath. "Make sure Ты beat him in every test Rosie.Thank God Ты inherited your mother's brains."
"Ron for heaven's sake,"said Hermione, half stern, half amused. "Don't try to turn them against each other before they've even started school!"
"You're right, sorry," сказал(-а) Ron. But unable to help himself, he added "Don't get too friendly with him, though Rosie. Granddad Weasley would never forgive Ты if Ты married a pureblood."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"There was the sound of pattering feet, a blaze of shining copper, an echoing clang, and a shriek of agony: Kreacher had taken a run at Mundungus and hit him over the head with a saucepan.
"Call 'im off, call 'im off, 'e should be locked up!" screamed Mundungus, cowering as Kreacher raised the heavy-bottomed pan again.
"Kreacher, no!" Shouted Harry.
Kreacher's thin arms trembled with the weight of the pan, still held aloft. "Perhaps just one more, Master Harry, for luck?"
Ron laughed.
"We need him conscious, Kreacher, but if he needs persuading Ты can do the honors," сказал(-а) Harry.
"Thank Ты very much, Master."
----------------------------------------------------------------
When he straightened up again, there were six Harry Potters gasping and panting in front of him. Фред and George turned to each other and сказал(-а) together, "Wow -- We're identical!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Teddy's back there," [James] сказал(-а) breathlessly, pointing back over his shoulder into the billowing clouds of steam. "Just seen him! And guess what he's doing? Snogging Victoire!"
He gazed up at the adults, evidently disappointed by the lack of reaction.
"Our Teddy! Teddy Lupin! Snogging our Victoire! Our cousin! And I asked Teddy what he was doing--"
"You interrupted them?" сказал(-а) Ginny. "You are so like Ron--"
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Look, if I picked up a sword right now, Ron, and ran Ты through with it, I wouldn’t damage your soul at all.”
“Which would be a real comfort to me, I’m sure,” сказал(-а) Ron.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Rubeus Hagrid, well-known gamekeeper at Hogwarts School, has narrowly escaped arrest within the grounds of Hogwarts, where he is rumored to have hosted a 'Support Harry Potter' party in his house. However, Hagrid was not taken into custody, and is, we believe, on the run." [Lupin]
"I suppose it helps, when escaping from Death Eaters, if you've got a sixteen-foot-high half brother?" asked Lee.
"It would tend to give Ты an edge," agreed Lupin gravely.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Mind you, if all the alleged sightings of him are genuine, we must have a good nineteen You-Know-Whos running around the place." [Fred]
"Which Форс-мажоры him, of course," сказал(-а) Kingsley. "The air of mystery is creating еще terror than actually Показ himself."
"Agreed," сказал(-а) Fred. "So, people, let's try and calm down a bit. Things are bad enough without inventing stuff as well. For instance, this new idea that You-Know-Who can kill with a single glance from his eyes. That's a basilisk, listeners. One simple test: Check whether the thing that's glaring at Ты has got legs. If it has, it's безопасно, сейф to look into its eyes, although if it really is You-Know-Who, that's still likely to be the last thing Ты ever do."

"And the rumors that he keeps being sighted abroad?" asked Lee.
"Well, who wouldn't want a nice little holiday after all the hard work he's been putting in?" asked Fred. "Point is, people, don't get lulled into a false sense of security, thinking that he's out of the country. Maybe he is, maybe he isn't, but the fact remains he can Переместить faster than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo when he wants to, so don't count on him being a long way away if you're planning on taking any risks. I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but safety first!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
"This girl is very nice-looking," Krum said, recalling Harry to his surroundings. Krum was pointing at Ginny, who had just joined Luna. "She is also a relative of yours?"
"Yeah," сказал(-а) Harry, suddenly irritated, "and she's seeing someone. Jealous type. Big bloke. Ты wouldn't want to пересекать, крест him."
“Oh, are Ты a prefect Percy? Ты should have сказал(-а) something, we had no idea.”
“Hang on I think I remember him saying something about it once…”
“Or twice-''
“A minute-''
“All summer-''
------------------------------------------------------------------
“So light a fire!” Harry choked.
“Yes… of course… but there’s no wood!” Hermione cried, wringing her hands.
“HAVE Ты GONE MAD!” Ron bellowed. “ARE Ты A WITCH или NOT!”
----------------------------------------
“Everybody finished the song at different times. At last, only the Weasley twins were left Пение along to a very slow funeral march.
----------------------------------------
Lee Jordan was finding it difficult not to take sides.
“So-after that obvious and disgusting bit of cheating-“
“Jordan!” growled Professor McGonagall.
“I mean, after that open and revolting foul-“
“Jordan, I’m warning you-“
“All right, all right. Flint nearly kills the Gryffindor Seeker, which could happen to anyone I’m sure…”
----------------------------------------
“They stuff people’s heads down the toilet the first день at Stonewall,” Dudley told Harry. “want to come upstairs and practice?”
“No, thanks,” сказал(-а) Harry. “The poor toilet’s never had anything as horrible as your head down it- it might be sick.”
---------------------------------------
“You haven’t got a letter on yours,” George observed. “I suppose she thinks Ты don’t forget your name. But we’re not stupid – we know we’re called Gred and Forge.”
---------------------------------------
“Fred Ты next,” the plump woman said.
“I’m not Fred, I’m George,” сказал(-а) the boy. “Honestly, woman, Ты call yourself our mother! Can’t Ты tell I’m George?”
“Sorry, George, dear.”
“Only joking, I am Fred,” сказал(-а) the boy, and off he went.
---------------------------------------
“And what if I wave my wand and nothing happens?”
“Throw it away and перфоратор, удар, пунш him in the nose,” suggested Ron.
---------------------------------------
One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts woke to find itself covered in several feet of snow. The lake froze solid and the Weasley twins were punished for bewitching several snowballs so that they followed Quirrell around, bouncing off the back of his turban.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Dudley looked a lot like Uncle Vernon. He had a large розовый face, not much neck, small watery blue eyes, and thick blonde hair that lay smoothly on his thick, fat head. Aunt петуния often сказал(-а) that Dudley looked like a baby angel. Harry often сказал(-а) that Dudley looked like a pig in a wig.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"So Ты mean the Stone's only безопасно, сейф as long as Quirrell stands up to Snape?" сказал(-а) Hermione in alarm.
"It'll be gone by Далее Tuesday," сказал(-а) Ron.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Speaking quietly so that no one else would hear, Harry told the other two about Snape's sudden, sinister desire to be a Quidditch referee.
"Don't play," сказал(-а) Hermione at once.
"Say you're ill," сказал(-а) Ron.
"Pretend to break your leg," Hermione suggested.
"Really break your leg," сказал(-а) Ron.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Your aunt and uncle will be proud, though, won't they?" сказал(-а) Hermione as they got off the train and joined the crowd thronging toward the Зачарованная barrier. "When they hear what Ты did this year?"
"Proud?" сказал(-а) Harry. "Are Ты crazy? All those times I could've died, and I didn't manage it? They'll be furious..."
Chamber of Secrets
Фред and George, however, found all this very funny. They went out of their way to march ahead of Harry down the corridors, shouting, "Make way for the Heir of Slytherin, seriously evil wizard coming through..."
----------------------------------------------------------------
They were almost at King's пересекать, крест when Harry remembered something.
"Ginny--what did Ты see Percy doing, that he didn't want Ты to tell anyone?"
"Oh that," сказал(-а) Ginny, giggling. "Well--Percy's got a girlfriend."
Фред dropped a stack of Книги on George's head. "What?"
"It's that Ravenclaw prefect, Penelope Clearwater," сказал(-а) Ginny. "That's who he was Письмо to all last summer. He's been meeting her all over the school in secret. I walked in on them Поцелуи in an empty classroom one day. He was so upest when she was--you know--attacked. Ты won't tease him, will you?" she added anxiously.
"Wouldn't dream of it," сказал(-а) Fred, who was looking like his birthday had come early.
"Definitely not," сказал(-а) George, sniggering
----------------------------------------------------------------
“’A study of Hogwarts’ Prefects and Their Later Careers,’” Ron read aloud off the back cover. “That sounds fascinating.”
---------------------------------------
“You’re alive,” she сказал(-а) blankly to Harry.
“There’s no need to sound so disappointed,” he сказал(-а) grimly, wiping flecks of blood and slime off his glasses.
---------------------------------------
Hermione, however, clapped a hand to her forehead. “Harry – I think I’ve just understood something! I’ve got to go to the library!” And she sprinted away up the stairs.
“What does she understand?” сказал(-а) Harry distractedly, still looking around, trying to tell where the voice had come from.
“Loads еще than I do.” сказал(-а) Ron shaking his head.
“But why’s she got to go to the library?”
“Because that’s what Hermione does,” сказал(-а) Ron shrugging. “When in doubt, go to the library.”
Prisoner of Azkaban
As though an invisible hand were Письмо upon it, words appeared on the smooth surface of the map. "Mr. Moony presents his compliments to Professor Snape, and begs him to keep his abnormally large nose out of other people's business."
Snape froze. Harry stared, dumbstruck, at the message. But the map didn't stop there. еще Письмо was appearing beneath the first.
"Mr. Prongs agrees with Mr. Moony, and would like to add that Professor Snape is an ugly git."
It would have been funny if the situation hadn't been so serious. And there was more...
"Mr. Padfoot would like to register his astonishment that an idiot like that ever became a professor."
Harry closed his eyes in horror. When he'd opened them, the map had had its last word.
"Mr. Wormtail bids Professor Snape good day, and advises him to wash his hair, the slimeball."
----------------------------------------------------------------
George looked up in time to see Malfoy pretending to faint with terror again.
“That little git,” he сказал(-а) calmly. “He wasn’t so cocky last night when the dementors were down at our end of the train. Came running into our compartment, didn’t he. Fred?”
“Nearly wet himself,” сказал(-а) Fred, with a contemptuous glance at Malfoy.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Percy had what were possibly the least helpful words of comfort. “they make a fuss about Hogsmeade, but I assure you, Harry, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be.” He сказал(-а) seriously. “All right, the sweetshops rather good, and Zonko’s Joke Shop’s frankly dangerous, and yes, the Shrieking Shack is always worth a visit, but really, Harry, apart from that, you’re not missing anything.”
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Sure Ты can manage that broom, Potter?” сказал(-а) a cold, drawling voice. Draco Malfoy had arrived for a closer look, Crabbe and Goyle right behind him.
“Yeah, reckon so,” сказал(-а) Harry casually.
“Got plenty of special features, hasn’t it?” сказал(-а) Malfoy, eyes glittering maliciously. “Shame it doesn’t come with a parachute – in case Ты get to near a Dementor.” Crabbe and Goyle sniggered.
“Pity Ты can’t attach an extra arm to yours, Malfoy,” сказал(-а) Harry. “Then it could catch the Snitch for you.”
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Well… when we were in our first year, Harry – young, carefree, and innocent-“
Harry snorted. He doubted whether Фред and George had ever been innocent.
---------------------------------------------------------------
(Harry, just being greeted by Percy) “Harry!” сказал(-а) Fred, elbowing Percy out of the way and bowing deeply. “Simply splendid to see you, old boy—“
“Marvelous,” сказал(-а) George, pushing Фред aside and seizing Harry’s hand in turn. “Absolutely spiffing.”
Percy scowled.
“That’s enough, now,” сказал(-а) Mrs. Weasley.
“Mum!” сказал(-а) Фред as though he’d only just spotted her and seizing her hand too. “How really corking to see you—“
----------------------------------------------------------------
“How’re we getting to King’s пересекать, крест tomorrow, Dad?” asked Фред as they dug into a sumptuous pudding.
“The Ministry is providing a couple of cars,” сказал(-а) Mr. Weasley.
Everyone looked up at him.
“Why?” сказал(-а) Percy curiously.
“It’s because of you, Perce,” сказал(-а) George seriously. “And there’ll be little flags on the hoods, with HB on them --“
“—for Humongous Bighead,” сказал(-а) Fred.
Everyone except Percy and Mrs. Weasley snorted into their pudding.
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Where is Wood?” сказал(-а) Harry, suddenly realizing he wasn’t there.
“Still in the showers,” сказал(-а) Fred. “We think he’s trying to drown himself.”
Goblet of Fire
One of them was a very old wizard who was wearing a long flowery nightgown. The other was clearly a Ministry wizard; he was holding out a pair of pinstriped trousers and almost crying with exasperation.
"Just put them on, Archie, there's a good chap. Ты can't walk around like that, the Muggle at the gate's already getting suspicious-"
"I bought this in a Muggle shop," сказал(-а) the old wizard stubbornly. "Muggles wear them."
"Muggle women wear them, Archie, not the men, they wear these," сказал(-а) the Ministry wizard, and he brandished the pinstriped trousers.
"I'm not putting them on," сказал(-а) old Archie in indignation. "I like a healthy breeze 'round my privates, thanks."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"OH NO Ты DON'T, LADDIE!"
Harry spun around. Professor Moody was limping down the marble staircase. His wand was out and it was pointing right at a pure white ferret.
"I want to fix that in my memory forever," сказал(-а) Ron, his closed and an uplifted expression on his face. "Draco Malfoy, the amazing bouncing ferret..."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh Professor look! I think I found an unaspected planet! Oooh, which one's that, Professor?"
"It is Uranus, my dear," сказал(-а) Professor Trelawney peering down a the chart.
"Can I have a look at Uranus too, Lavender?" сказал(-а) Ron.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr. Weasley, it's Harry.. the fireplace has been blocked up. Ты won't be able to get through there."
"Damn!" сказал(-а) Mr. Weasley's voice. "What on earth did they want to block the fireplace for?"
"They've got an electric fire," Harry explained.
"Really?" сказал(-а) Mr. Weasley's voice excitedly. "Eclectic, Ты say? With a plug? Gracious, I must see that... Let's think...ouch, Ron!"
Ron's voice now joined the others'.
"What are we doing here? Has something gone wrong?"
"Oh no, Ron," came Fred's voice, very sarcastically. "No, this is exactly where we want to end up."
"Yeah, we're having the time of our lives here," сказал(-а) George, whose voice sounded muffled, as though he was squashed against the wall.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Wild!" he said, twiddling the replay knob on the side. I can make that old bloke down there pick his nose again ... and again ... and again. . ."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"I was saying that Saturn was surely in a position of power in the heavens at the moment of your birth...your dark hair...your mean stature...tragic losses so young in life...I think I am right in saying, my dear, that Ты were born in midwinter?"
"No," сказал(-а) Harry, "I was born in July."
Ron hastily turned his laugh into a hacking cough.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Of course we still want to know you!" Harry said, staring at Hagrid.
"You don't think anything that Skeeter cow - sorry, Professor," he added quickly, looking at Dumbledore.
"I have gone temporarily deaf and haven't any idea what Ты said, Harry," сказал(-а) Dumbledore, twiddling his thumbs and staring at the ceiling.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Mr. Crouch!" сказал(-а) Percy breathlessly, sunk into a kind of half-bow that made him look like a hunchback. "Would Ты like a cup of tea?"
"Oh," сказал(-а) Mr. Crouch, looking over at Percy in mild surprise. "Yes — thank you, Weatherby."
Фред and George choked into their own cups. Percy, very розовый around the ears, busied himself with the kettle.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Colin, I fell in!" he [Dennis Creevey] сказал(-а) shrilly, throwing himself into an empty seat. "It was brilliant! And something in the water grabbed me and pushed me back in the boat!"
"Cool!" сказал(-а) Colin, just as excitedly. "It was probably the giant squid, Dennis!"
"Wow!" сказал(-а) Dennis, as though nobody in their wildest dreams could hope for еще than being thrown into a storm-tossed, fathoms-deep lake, and pushed out of it again by a giant sea monster.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Maybe he'll believe I'm not enjoying myself once I've got my neck broken или - "
"That's not funny," сказал(-а) Hermione quietly. "That's not funny at all." She looked extremely anxious. "Harry, I've been thinking - Ты know what we've got to do, don't you? Straight away, the moment we get back to the castle?"
"Yeah, give Ron a good kick up the - "
"Write to Sirius."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"What would your head have been doing in Hogsmeade, Potter?" сказал(-а) Snape softly. "Your head is not allowed in Hogsmeade. No part of your body has permission to be in Hogsmeade."
Order of the Phoenix
A week after Фред and George's departure, Harry witnessed Professor McGonagall walking right past Peeves, who was determinedly loosening a crystal chandelier, and could have sworn he heard her tell the poltergeist out of the corner of her mouth, "It unscrews the other way."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Mrs. Weasley let out a shriek just like Hermione's.
"I don't believe it! Oh, Ron, how wonderful! A prefect! That's everyone in the family!"
"What are Фред and I, next-door neighbours?" сказал(-а) George indignantly, as his mother pushed him aside and flung her arms around her youngest son.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Yes - yes, good point, Petunia! What were Ты doing under our window, boy?"
"Listening to the news," сказал(-а) Harry in a resigned voice.
His aunt and uncle exchanged looks of outrage.
"Listening to the news! Again?"
"Well, it changes every day, Ты see," сказал(-а) Harry.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Cough drop, Dolores?" сказал(-а) Professor McGonagall.
Half-Blood Prince
"'Harry Potter knows that he can confide in me with complete confidence,' I told them. 'I would rather die than betray his trust.'"
"That's not saying much, seeing as you're already dead," Ron observed.
"Once again, Ты Показать all the sensitivity of a blunt axe," сказал(-а) Nearly Headless Nick in affronted tones.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Do Ты remember me telling Ты we are practicing nonverbal spells, Potter?"
"Yes," сказал(-а) Harry stiffly.
"Yes, sir."
"There's no need to call me 'sir,' Professor."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"You'd think people had better things to gossip about," сказал(-а) Ginny as she sat on the common room floor, leaning against Harry's legs and Чтение the Daily Prophet. "Three Dementor attacks in a week, and all Romilda Vane does is ask me if it's true you've got a Hippogriff tattooed across your chest."
Ron and Hermione both roared with laughter. Harry ignored them.
"What did Ты tell her?"
"I told her it's a Hungarian Horntail," сказал(-а) Ginny, turning a page of the newspaper idly. "Much еще macho."
"Thanks," сказал(-а) Harry, grinning. "And what did Ты tell her Ron's got?"
"A Pygmy Puff, but I didn't say where."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"And that's Smith of Hufflepuff with the Quaffle," сказал(-а) a dreamy voice, echoing over the grounds. "He did the commentary last time, of course, and Ginny Weasley flew into him, I think probably on purpose, it looked like it. Smith was being quite rude about Gryffindor, I expect he regrets that now he's playing them - oh, look, he's Остаться в живых the Quaffle. Ginny took it from him. I do like her, she's very nice..."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Fred, George, Harry, and Ron were the only ones who knew that the Энджел on вверх of the дерево was actually a garden gnome that had bitten Фред on the ankle as he pulled up carrots for Рождество dinner. Stupefied, painted gold, stuffed into a miniature tutu and with small wings glued to its back, it glowered down at them all, the ugliest Энджел Harry had ever seen, with a large bald head like a potato and rather hairy feet.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Pointing his wand at nothing in particular, he gave it an upward flick and сказал(-а) Levicorpus! inside his head.
"Aaaaaaaargh!"
There was a flash of light and the room was full of voices: Everyone had woken up as Ron had let out a yell. Harry sent Advanced Potion-Making flying in panic; Ron was dangling upside down in midair as though an invisible hook had hoisted him up by the ankle.
"Sorry!" yelled Harry, as Dean and Seamus roared with laughter, and Neville picked himself up from the floor, having fallen out of bed. "Hang on- I'll let Ты down-"
He groped for the potion book and riffled through it in a panic, trying to find the right page; at last he located it and deciphered one cramped word underneath the spell: Praying that this was the counter-jinx, Harry thought Liberacorpus! with all his might.
There was another flash of light, and Ron fell in a heap onto his mattress.
"Sorry," repeated Harry weakly, while Dean and Seamus continued to roar with laughter.
"Tomorrow," сказал(-а) Ron in a muffled voice, "I'd rather Ты set the alarm clock."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"This is your copy of Advanced Potion-Making, is it, Potter?"
"Yes," сказал(-а) Harry, still breathing hard.
"You're quite sure of that, are you, Potter?"
"Yes," сказал(-а) Harry, with a touch of еще defiance.
"This is the the copy of Advanced Potion-Making that Ты purchased from Flourish and Blotts?"
"Yes," сказал(-а) Harry firmly.
"Then why," asked Snape, "does it have the name 'Roonil Wazlib' written inside the front cover?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
"If I'm having lessons with you, I won't have to do Occlumency with Snape, will I?"
"Professor Snape, Harry - and no, Ты will not."
"Good," сказал(-а) Harry in relief, "because they were a -"
"I think the word 'fiasco' would be a good one here."
----------------------------------------------------------------
Why Are Ты Worrying about You-Know-Who?
Ты SHOULD Be Worrying About
U-NO-POO -
the Constipation Sensation That's Gripping the Nation!
----------------------------------------------------------------
"I would assume that Ты were going to offer me refreshment," Dumbledore сказал(-а) to Uncle Vernon, "but the evidence so far suggests that that would be optimistic to the point of foolishness."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"There is no way they'd let me be a Death Eater!" сказал(-а) Ron indignantly, a bit of sausage flying off the fork he was now brandishing at Hermione and hitting Ernie Macmillan on the head. "My whole family are blood traitors! That's as bad as Muggle-borns to Death Eaters!"
"And they'd Любовь to have me," сказал(-а) Harry sarcastically. "We'd be best pals if they didn't keep trying to do me in."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"I don't think Ты should be an Auror, Harry," сказал(-а) Luna unexpectedly. Everybody looked at her. "The Aurors are part of the Rotfang Conspiracy, I thought everyone knew that. They're planning to bring down the Ministry of Magic from within using a combination of Dark Magic and gum disease."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Women," [Ron] сказал(-а) wisely to Harry, "they're easily upset."
"And yet," сказал(-а) Hermione, coming out of her reverie, "I doubt you'd find a woman who sulked for half an час because Madam Rosmerta didn't laugh at their joke about the hag, the Healer, and the Mimbulus mimbletonia."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Oh, very good," interrupted Snape, his lip curling. "Yes, it is easy to see that nearly six years of magical education have not been wasted on you, Potter. 'Ghosts are transparent.'"
Deathly Hallows
"How do Ты feel Georgie?" whispered Mrs.Weasley.
George's fingers groped for the side of his head."Saintlike," he murmured.
"What's wrong with him?" croaked Fred, looking terrified. "Is his mind affected?"
"Saintlike," reapted George, opening his eyes and looking up at his nrother. "You see...I'm holy. Holey, Fred, geddit?"
Mrs.Weasley sobbed harder than ever. Color flooded Fred's pale face.
"Pathetic," he told George. "Pathetic! With the whole world of ear-related humor before you, Ты go for holey?"
"Ah well," сказал(-а) George, grinning at his tear-soaked mother. "You'll be able to tell us apart now, anyway, mum."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"The sooner this wedding's over the happier I'll be." [Ron]
"Yeah" сказал(-а) Harry, "then we'll have nothing to do except find Horcruxes....It'll be like a holiday, won't it?"
----------------------------------------------------------------
“I was awake half the night thinking it all over, and I believe it’s a plot to get the house.”
“The house?” repeated Harry. “What house?”
“This house!” shrieked Uncle Vernon, the vein in his forehead starting to pulse. “Our house! House prices are skyrocketing around here! Ты want us out of the way and then you’re going to do a bit of hocus-pocus and before we know it the deeds will be in your name and—“
“Are Ты out of your mind?” demanded Harry. “A plot to get this house? Are Ты actually as stupid as Ты look?”
----------------------------------------------------------------
“How’s Norbert doin’?”
“Norbert?” Charlie laughed. “The Norwegian Ridgeback? We call her Norberta now.”
“Wha—Norbert’s a girl?
----------------------------------------------------------------
Ron, Ты know full well Harry and I were brought up by Muggles!” сказал(-а) Hermione. “We didn’t hear stories like that when we were little, we heard ‘Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs’ and ‘Cinderella’—“
“What’s that, an illness?” asked Ron.
----------------------------------------------------------------
But before [Uncle Bilius] went loopy he was the life and soul of the party,” сказал(-а) Fred. “He used to down an entire bottle of firewhisky, then run onto the dance floor, hoist up his robes, and start pulling bunches of Цветы out of his—“
“Yes, he sounds a real charmer,” сказал(-а) Hermione, while Harry roared with laughter.
“Never married, for some reason,” сказал(-а) Ron.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Somewhere in the distance they could hear Peeves zooming through the corridors Пение a victory song of his own composition:
''We did it, we bashed them, wee Potter’s the one, And Voldy’s gone moldy, so now let’s have fun!''
“Really gives a feeling for the scope and tragedy of the thing, doesn’t it?” сказал(-а) Ron.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"What are Ты doing with all those Книги anyway?" Ron asked.
"Just trying to decide which ones to take with us," сказал(-а) Hermione. When we're looking for the Horcruxes."
"Oh, of course," сказал(-а) Ron, clapping a hand to his forehead. "I forgot we'll be hunting down Voldemort in a mobile library."
----------------------------------------------------------------
“If Ты think I’m going to let six people risk their lives - !”
“ – because it’s the first time for all of us,” сказал(-а) Ron.
“This is different, pretending to be me – ”
“Well, none of us really fancy it, Harry,” сказал(-а) Фред earnestly. “Imagine if something went wrong and we were stuck as specky, scrawny gits forever.”
----------------------------------------------------------------
“You can’t do it if I don’t cooperate, Ты need me to give Ты some hair.”
“Well, that’s that plan scuppered,” сказал(-а) George. “Obviously there’s no chance at all of us getting a bit of your hair unless Ты cooperate.”
“Yeah, thirteen of us against one bloke who’s not allowed to use magic; we’ve got no chance,” сказал(-а) Fred.
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Arthur and Фред – ”
“I’m George,” сказал(-а) the twin at whom Moody was pointing. “Can’t Ты even tell us apart when we’re Harry?”
“Sorry, George – ”
“I’m only yanking your wand, I’m Фред really – ”
“Enough messing around!” snarled Moody.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione made purple and Золото streamers erupt from the end of her wand and drape themselves artistically over the trees and bushes.
“Nice,” сказал(-а) Ron, as with one final flourish of her wand, Hermione turned the leaves on the crapapple дерево to gold.
“You’ve really got an eye for that sort of thing.”
“Thank you, Ron!” сказал(-а) Hermione, looking both pleased and a little confused.
Harry turned away, smiling to himself.
He had a funny notion that he would find a chapter on compliments when he found time to peruse his copy of Twelve Fail-Safe Ways to Charm Witches.
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Seventeen, eh!” сказал(-а) Hagrid as he accepted a bucket-sized glass of wine from Fred.
“Six years to the день we met, Harry, d’yeh remember it?”
“Vaguely,” сказал(-а) Harry, grinning up at him. “Didn’t Ты smash down the front door, give Dudley a pig’s tail, and tell me I was a wizard?”
“I forge’ the details,” Hagrid chortled.
----------------------------------------------------------------
He held out his hand, and Scrimgeour leaned вперед again and placed the Snitch, slowly and deliberately, into Harry’s palm.
Nothing happened. As Harry’s fingers closed around the Snitch, its tired wings fluttered and were still.
Scrimgeour, Ron, and Hermione continued to gaze avidly at the now partially concealed ball, as if still hoping it might transform in some way.
“That was dramatic,” сказал(-а) Harry coolly.
Both Ron and Hermione laughed.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Luna: “Daddy, look – one of the gnomes actually bit me!”
“How wonderful! Gnome saliva is enormously beneficial!” сказал(-а) Mr. Lovegood, seizing Luna’s outstretched finger and examining the bleeding puncture marks.
“Luna, my love, if Ты should feel any burgeoning talent today – perhaps an unexpected urge to sing opera или to declaim in Mermish – do not repress it! Ты may have been gifted by the Gernumblies!”
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Expec – Expecto Patronum,” сказал(-а) Hermione. Nothing happened.
“It’s the only spell she ever has trouble with,” Harry told a completely bemused Mrs. Cattermole. “Bit unfortunate, really.”
----------------------------------------------------------------
Hermione: “’And Death spoke to them – ’”
“Sorry,” interjected Harry, “but Death spoke to them?”
“It’s a fairy tale, Harry!
“Right, sorry. Go on.”
----------------------------------------------------------------
The real Harry thought that this might just be the most bizzarre thing he had ever seen, and he had seen some extremely odd things. He watched as his six doppelgangers rummaged in the sacks, pulling out sets of clothes, putting on flasses, stuffing their own things away. He felt like asking them to Показать a little еще respect for his privacy as they all began stripping off with impunity, clearly much еще at ease with displaying his body than they would have been with their own.
"I knew Ginny was lying about that tattoo," сказал(-а) Ron , looking down at his bare chest.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"So that's little Scorpius,"said Ron under his breath. "Make sure Ты beat him in every test Rosie.Thank God Ты inherited your mother's brains."
"Ron for heaven's sake,"said Hermione, half stern, half amused. "Don't try to turn them against each other before they've even started school!"
"You're right, sorry," сказал(-а) Ron. But unable to help himself, he added "Don't get too friendly with him, though Rosie. Granddad Weasley would never forgive Ты if Ты married a pureblood."
----------------------------------------------------------------
"There was the sound of pattering feet, a blaze of shining copper, an echoing clang, and a shriek of agony: Kreacher had taken a run at Mundungus and hit him over the head with a saucepan.
"Call 'im off, call 'im off, 'e should be locked up!" screamed Mundungus, cowering as Kreacher raised the heavy-bottomed pan again.
"Kreacher, no!" Shouted Harry.
Kreacher's thin arms trembled with the weight of the pan, still held aloft. "Perhaps just one more, Master Harry, for luck?"
Ron laughed.
"We need him conscious, Kreacher, but if he needs persuading Ты can do the honors," сказал(-а) Harry.
"Thank Ты very much, Master."
----------------------------------------------------------------
When he straightened up again, there were six Harry Potters gasping and panting in front of him. Фред and George turned to each other and сказал(-а) together, "Wow -- We're identical!"
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Teddy's back there," [James] сказал(-а) breathlessly, pointing back over his shoulder into the billowing clouds of steam. "Just seen him! And guess what he's doing? Snogging Victoire!"
He gazed up at the adults, evidently disappointed by the lack of reaction.
"Our Teddy! Teddy Lupin! Snogging our Victoire! Our cousin! And I asked Teddy what he was doing--"
"You interrupted them?" сказал(-а) Ginny. "You are so like Ron--"
----------------------------------------------------------------
“Look, if I picked up a sword right now, Ron, and ran Ты through with it, I wouldn’t damage your soul at all.”
“Which would be a real comfort to me, I’m sure,” сказал(-а) Ron.
----------------------------------------------------------------
"Rubeus Hagrid, well-known gamekeeper at Hogwarts School, has narrowly escaped arrest within the grounds of Hogwarts, where he is rumored to have hosted a 'Support Harry Potter' party in his house. However, Hagrid was not taken into custody, and is, we believe, on the run." [Lupin]
"I suppose it helps, when escaping from Death Eaters, if you've got a sixteen-foot-high half brother?" asked Lee.

"Mind you, if all the alleged sightings of him are genuine, we must have a good nineteen You-Know-Whos running around the place." [Fred]

I never thought I'd hear myself say it, but safety first!"

"This girl is very nice-looking," Krum said, recalling Harry to his surroundings. Krum was pointing at Ginny, who had just joined Luna. "She is also a relative of yours?"
"Yeah," сказал(-а) Harry, suddenly irritated, "and she's seeing someone. Jealous type. Big bloke. Ты wouldn't want to пересекать, крест him."
