I think this was a great idea for discussion, although almost 
impossible to narrow down!  My favorite lines include pretty much 
everything said by Fred and George ("He's Gred and I'm Forge").

But I was just wondering today whether it would be fun for JKR to put 
together a book of "words of wisdom" as said by Hagrid and 
Dumbledore.  I've found myself quoting lines to my daughter as advise 
or to explain some things in life.

For example: 
"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than 
our abilities." (Dumbledore, COS ch.18)

or:
"Ah, well, people can be a bit stupid abou' their pets." (Hagrid, 
POA, ch.14)

and one more:
"Yeah, well, yeh get weirdos in every breed."  (Hagrid, GOF, ch.16)

They're all so true and there are so many lines to fit so many 
occasions - very much like Forest Gump, only more fun!

Maybe this could be the next fund-raiser series.  Who knows.
