[HPforGrownups] Re: What is your all-time favorite line(s) from the book?

No: HPFGUIDX 50739

When I first read the books, I collapsed in fits of laughter every few
pages or so, so singling out any particular line (or scene, for that
matter) is well nigh impossible.

***

		"This? It is called a Pensieve," said Dumbledore. "I sometimes find, and
I am sure you know the feeling, that I simply have too many thoughts and
memories crammed into my mind."
		"Er," said Harry, who couldn't truthfully say that he had ever felt
anything of the sort.

And a Percy-Gred-Forge double whammy:

		"Can't stay long, Mother," he said. "I'm up front, the Prefects have got
two compartments to themselves..."
		"Oh, are you a *Prefect*, Percy?" said one of the twins, with an air of
great surprise. "You should have said something, we had no idea."
		"Hang on, I think I remember him saying something about it," said the
other twin. "Once..."
		"Or twice..."
		"A minute..."
		"All summer..."


		...Percy, however, held out his hand solemnly as though he and Harry had
never met and said, "Harry. How nice to see you."
		"Hello, Percy," said Harry, trying not to laugh.
		"I hope you're well?" said Percy pompously, shaking hands. It was rather
like being introduced to the mayor."
		"Very well, thanks..."
		"Harry!" said Fred, elbowing Percy out of the way and bowing deeply.
"Simply *splendid* to see you, old boy..."
		"Marvellous," said George, pushing Fred aside and seizing Harry's hand in
turn. "Absolutely spiffing."
		Percy scowled.
		"That's enough, now," said Mrs. Weasley.
		"Mum!" said Fred, as though he'd only just spotted her, and seized her
hand, too. "How really corking to see you..."
