“Potter! There are hundreds of people thundering through my pub!”

“Dumbledore's man through and through, aren't you Potter?" "Yeah I am," said Harry. "Glad we straightened that out.”

“Bless my soul,” whispered the old bartender, “Harry Potter . . . what an honor.”

“Harry Potter has kindly joined us for my rebirthing party. One might go so far as to call him my guest of honor.”

“Harry Potter must not go back to Hogwarts.“Harry Potter must stay where he is safe. He is too great, too good, to lose. If Harry Potter goes back to Hogwarts, he will be in mortal danger.”“Why?” said Harry in surprise.“There is a plot, Harry Potter. A plot to make most terrible things happen at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year.”

“The dementors send their love, Potter!”

“Detention, Saturday night, my office,” said Snape. “I do not take cheek from anyone, Potter . . . not even ‘the Chosen One.’”
