THE MAGIC BEGINS  ϟ 29 - a character I want to see on my dash more often

→ neville longbottom
As Harry took off his glasses and climbed into his four-poster, he imagined how it must feel to have parents still living but unable to recognize you. He often got sympathy from strangers for being an orphan, but as he listened to Neville’s snores, he thought that Neville deserved it more than he did.

THE MAGIC BEGINS  ϟ 28 - ship more people absolutely everyone should love

→ the potters
you got me off the sofa, just sprang out of the air,
the best things come from nowhere, i can’t believe you care.

THE MAGIC BEGINS  ϟ 27 - favourite friendship

→ the golden trio
A warmth was spreading through him that had nothing to do with the sunlight; a tight obstruction in his chest seemed to be dissolving. He knew that Ron and Hermione were more shocked than they were letting on, but the mere fact that they were still there on either side of him, speaking bracing words of comfort, not shrinking from him as though he were contaminated or dangerous, was worth more than he could ever tell them.

THE MAGIC BEGINS  ϟ 26  (2/2) - a really emotional moment

→ You saved my life.
It seemed that Dudley was struggling with concepts too difficult to put into words. After several moments of apparently painful internal struggle he said, “But where’s he going to go?”

THE MAGIC BEGINS  ϟ 26  (1/2) - a really emotional moment

→ For Lily/ (Snape’s Last Look)
“I expect you’re tired of hearing this, but you look so much like your father. Except, your eyes. You have…” “My mother’s eyes.”

THE MAGIC BEGINS  ϟ 25 - favourite class

→ Defence Against the Dark Arts 

THE MAGIC BEGINS  ϟ 24 - scariest scene

→ Bathilda’s Secret
And in the instant that he looked away, his eyes taking the tangled mess for a sword hilt, a ruby, she moved weirdly: He saw it out of the corner of his eye; panic made him turn and horror paralyzed him as he saw the old body collapsing and the great snake pouring from the place where her neck had been.
(…) He bent and snatched up his wand, but now the room was full of the snake, its tail thrashing; Hermione was nowhere to be seen and for a moment Harry thought the worst, but then there was a loud bang and a flash of red light, and the snake flew into the air, smacking Harry hard in the face as it went, coil after heavy coil rising up to the ceiling. Harry raised his wand, but as he did so, his scar seared more painfully, more powerfully than it had done in years.

THE MAGIC BEGINS  ϟ 23 - the DA, the Order of the Phoenix, or the Death Eaters?

→ Dumbledore’s Army, that’s what they fear the most.

THE MAGIC BEGINS  ϟ 21 - favourite curse/spell potion

→ amortentia
Amortentia doesn’t create actual love, of course. That’s impossible. But it does cause a powerful infatuation or obsession. For that reason, it is probably the most dangerous potion in this room.

THE MAGIC BEGINS  ϟ 20 - favourite professor

→ minerva mcgonagall
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.’
