Albus Dumbledore
- 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.
- 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.
- 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?
- 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.
- Cornelius Fudge: [just after Buckbeak's escape] We must search the grounds!
- Dumbledore: Search the *skies* if you must, Minister, but now I think I'll have a nice cup of tea, or a large brandy. Oh, and executioner, your services are no longer required. Thank you.
- Hagrid: You'll find no small glasses in *this* house.
- Professor Snape: A remarkable feat, don't you think? To enter the castle on ones own, completely undetected?
- Dumbledore: Quite.
- Professor Snape: Any theories on how he might have managed it?
- Dumbledore: Many. Each as unlikely as the next.
- Professor Snape: You may recall, prior to the start of term, I expressed concern about the appointment of Professor...
- Dumbledore: Not a single person inside this castle would help Sirius Black to enter it. No, I'm quite convinced the castle is safe, and I'm more than willing to send the students back to their houses.
- Professor Snape: What about Potter? Should he be warned?
- Dumbledore: Perhaps, but for now let him sleep.
- Dumbledore: Dear Lady, who did this to you?
- Fat Lady in Painting: Eyes like the Devil hr's got and a soul as dark as his name. It's him headmaster, the one they all talk about, he's here somewhere in the castle. Sirius Black!
