00:00Of course it's happening inside your head, Harry. Why should that mean that it's not real?"
00:06Welcome to Ms. Mojo, and today we're looking at lines from the
00:10Harry Potter franchise that are the most fun to parrot.
00:13Page 394.
00:1810. I'll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending that I don't exist
00:23There are days we mourn how much of Harry's savagery was cut from the movies.
00:27For instance, when he tells Snape, there's no need to call me, sir, in Half-Blood Prince.
00:32Luckily, movie Harry still got some shining moments to showcase his sharp tongue.
00:37Nothing will happen.
00:38Not to worry, Harry, I will fix that arm of yours straight away.
00:42Not you.
00:43When the Dursleys are having important company over at the beginning of Chamber of Secrets,
00:48Vernon checks in with Harry to make sure he knows what his role is. Boy, does Harry ever.
00:55And you?
00:55I'll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending that I don't exist.
01:01Too right you will.
01:03He gets some equally quotable and scathing dialogue towards the end of Order of the Phoenix,
01:08this time toward a distressed Umbridge.
01:13Do something! Tell them I mean no harm!
01:16I'm sorry, Professor. I must not tell lies.
01:20Beyond the themes of bravery and friendship,
01:22the overarching lesson of the story might have just been, don't cross the boy who lived.
01:29Don't worry, you're just as sane as I am.
01:32You're not going mad.
01:37I can see them, too.
01:41You're just as sane as I am.
01:42Very reassuring words from resident sane person Luna Lovegood.
01:46Of course, her sentiment is just that.
01:48There is no normal, only individual and shared experience.
01:52In both the book and movie, Luna offers the sentiment when Harry finds that he's the only
01:56person among his friends who can see the creatures pulling the carriages up to the school.
02:01Luna shares that she, too, can see them, and reassures Harry he isn't going mad.
02:06They're quite gentle, really, but people avoid them because they're a bit...
02:15Different.
02:16The line feels so emblematic of Luna that its staying power in the fandom
02:20doesn't come as a surprise.
02:23It's a charm, actually.
02:26Keeps away the nargles.
02:28Number 8.
02:29Obviously.
02:30Snape's low, drawling voice makes him so fun to mimic.
02:34That is the second time you have spoken out of turn, Miss Granger.
02:36Are you incapable of restraining yourself, or do you take pride in being an insufferable
02:41know-it-all?
02:42His character is, of course, quintessential in the books,
02:44but Alan Rickman breathes an esteemed life into him.
02:48One of our favorite scenes is in Prisoner of Azkaban when he briefly replaces Lupin as
02:54the Defense Against Dark Arts professor.
02:56He tells the class to
02:57"...turn to page 394."
03:00hoping someone will pick up on the significance of the information on the page.
03:05Again, Rickman's delivery is impeccable.
03:08Still, we tend to favor his exchange with Umbridge in Order of the Phoenix when she
03:12tries her best to get under his skin.
03:14It's like watching a gerbil trying to rouse a black cat.
03:18You applied first for the Defense Against the Dark Arts post, is that correct?
03:23Yes.
03:25But you were unsuccessful?
03:29Obvious.
03:32Number 7.
03:33The Boy Who Lived.
03:34Come to die.
03:36Harry Potter is dead!
03:43And now is the time to declare yourself.
03:45Ralph Fiennes as Voldemort is yet another performance with diction that's quite fun
03:50to imitate.
03:51When Harry finally confronts Voldemort, a fated encounter that everything has been building
03:56up to since the beginning, the Dark Lord still makes time for a bit of wordplay.
04:01Harry Potter.
04:06The Boy Who Lived.
04:13Come to die.
04:15Just as epic on the page as it is on screen, the line is typically one people think of
04:21most in connection with Voldemort.
04:23Well, you know except for...
04:27Beyond that, memes and parodies aplenty have surfaced, which is always a true mark of
04:32something's legacy.
04:33Number 6.
04:34Wait Till My Father Hears About This.
04:36This one's a lot of fun to say whenever something slightly inconvenient happens,
04:41Oh, my father will hear about this!
04:42with Draco uttering some variation of the line three times in the films and mentioning
04:47his father a handful of others.
04:49It's impossible not to associate his character with the vague threat.
04:53Wait until my father hears that Dumbledore's got this oaf teaching classes.
04:56famous last words for someone once turned into a ferret.
04:59Thanks to Tom Felton's ad-libbing in Chamber of Secrets, we also get the pleasure of quoting
05:05his response to Harry, disguised as Goyle, every now and again.
05:08Reading?
05:11I didn't know you could read.
05:12Draco Malfoy, school antagonist or comedian extraordinaire?
05:17Number 5.
05:18Master Has Given Dobby A Sock.
05:21Come, Dobby.
05:25Open it.
05:30If someone does the kindness of doing your laundry for you, consider repaying them with
05:35this line in thanks.
05:36There is something so sweet and innocent but simultaneously hilarious about it, both in
05:42and out of context.
05:43Perhaps it's the elf's shrill voice, or the wonderment with which he says it.
05:47But it's gold.
05:49Master has given Dobby a sock.
05:52What?
05:53I didn't…
05:55Master has presented Dobby with clothes.
05:59Dobby is free.
06:02And it's not the only memorable line Dobby gets, either.
06:04This one made us laugh out loud while reading.
06:07But it was even better to hear it said aloud in the film adaptation.
06:11You could have killed me!
06:12Dobby never meant to kill.
06:14Dobby only meant to maim or seriously injure.
06:19You are far more merciful than we, Dobby.
06:21Number 4.
06:22Not Me, Not Hermione, You.
06:25This whole scene is highly quotable, if the people replicating the entire thing with perfect
06:30annotation online haven't already proven as much.
06:33Once I make my move, then you're free to check the king.
06:39No.
06:40Ron, no!
06:42What is it?
06:43He's going to sacrifice himself.
06:45This one blew up more as a result of the kids and acting that very much reminds us of their age.
06:51No, you can't!
06:52There must be another way!
06:54In the books, Ron actually takes the place of the knight and ends up badly injured.
06:58But in the movie, the stakes are quite a bit lower, so the drama of it all feels out of place.
07:03In any case, Rupert Grint summons all of the conviction of the chess piece Ron
07:08is filling in for to deliver his big line and encourage Harry onward.
07:12Do you want to stop Snape from getting that stone or not?
07:17Harry, it's you that has to go on.
07:19I know it.
07:21Not me.
07:22Not Hermione.
07:23You.
07:23The internet was just waiting to dig this one out of the archives.
07:27Number three.
07:28Always.
07:30If you truly loved her...
07:36No one can know.
07:40Where most of the quotable lines on our list are dedicatedly memeable,
07:44this one holds a bit more weight.
07:46It's the final expression of Snape's devotion, his eternal love for Lily,
07:49and the definitive answer about what side he was really on the entire time.
07:54After all this time?
07:58Always.
08:01The reveal of his Patronus also comes during this scene,
08:04making it one of the most significant in the franchise.
08:07Don't tell me now that you've grown to care for the boy.
08:12So...
08:24Despite the somberness, this is a fun one to quote with your friends,
08:28especially when the context is something silly.
08:30For example, you still like Harry Potter?
08:32After all this time?
08:34Go ahead and answer us in the comments.
08:36Number two.
08:37It's Levi-O-Sar, not Levi-O-SAR.
08:40It's Levi-O-Sar, not Levi-O-SAR.
08:45She's a nightmare, honestly.
08:47Funnily enough, Hermione's clarification in the book actually puts emphasis
08:52on the Wingardium part of the spell, not Levi-O-Sar.
08:55It turned out to be a winning change for the movie series, though,
08:59because this line has been quoted to King's Cross and back.
09:02Stop, stop, stop.
09:04You're going to take someone's eye out.
09:07Besides, you're saying it wrong.
09:09It's Levi-O-Sar, not Levi-O-SAR.
09:13It's particularly thanks to this, and also partly thanks to Emma Watson's delivery.
09:17She's as perfectly snooty as her character's book counterpart.
09:21We get as much attitude only a few scenes earlier when the trio find Fluffy in the school,
09:27and Hermione makes her priorities very clear.
09:30Now, if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up
09:34with another clever idea to get us killed, or worse, expelled.
09:38Ron's line right after this, of course, just as quote-worthy.
09:43She needs to sort out her priorities.
09:46Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.
09:50Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon,
09:53the genuine laughs following this line always make us smile.
09:58One person couldn't feel all that. They'd explode.
10:01Just because you've got the emotional range of a teaspoon.
10:0910 points to Gryffindor. Instead of the boring old,
10:19good job.
10:24Yeah, you can have a word, goodbye.
10:26Honestly, we wish we could use this one in more situations.
10:34Harry, did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?
10:36A change in delivery made this one unforgettable.
10:41Harry, did you put your name in the Goblet of Fire?
10:44Molly Weasley's Howler. Molly may be yelling,
10:48but it's Ron's expression that does all the talking.
10:51Ronald Weasley!
10:56How dare you steal that car! I am absolutely disgusted!

11:18Number one, you're a wizard, Harry. Hagrid has some great scenes in the
11:22franchise, but his very first might just be his best.
11:29Sorry about that.
11:31It's the moment Harry's life changes forever. After all, and who better to announce the news
11:36than everyone's favorite gamekeeper? With his towering stature and underestimated pink umbrella,
11:42Hagrid certainly leaves his mark, on the Dursleys and on us.
11:46Dry up, Dursley, you great prune.
11:49He becomes Harry's savior and his first real friend. It feels only right that he should
11:54incite the protagonist's big journey. It's one line we never get tired of hearing,
11:59and never get tired of trying to mimic, either.
12:03You're a wizard, Harry.
12:06I'm a what?
12:08A wizard, and a thumpin' goodnight, wedger.
12:11Which line do you think you've quoted most often? Let us know in the comments.
12:16It does not do to dwell on dreams, Harry, and forget to live.
