"A mind is a terrible thing to waste."

A mind is not a terrible thing, let alone a terrible thing to waste.

But I guess it wouldn't flow as well if they had said:

"Your mind: to waste it would be terrible."

Oh, the thrill of the chase as I soar through the air
With the Snitch up ahead and the wind in my hair
As I draw ever closer, the crowd gives a shout
But then comes a Bludger and I am knocked out.
