'I'd say that it's one short step from "wizards first" to "pure-bloods first", and then to "Death Eaters",' replied Kingsley. 'We're all humans, aren't we?

"'Well, it was a bad night for romance all round. Ginny and Dean split up too, Harry.' Harry thought there was a rather knowing look in her eye as she told him that, but she could not possibly know that his insides were suddenly dancing the conga."

"You heard him, Harry: "Wouldn't it be better, make you stronger, to have your soul in more pices... isn't it seven the most powerfully magical number...""

"Harry suddenly noticed that ever single one of the old headmasters and headmistresses in the portraits around the walls was awake and listening in on their conversation. A corpulent, red-nosed wizard had actually taken out an ear-trumpet."
