The Lighter Side of DH

[Ron Weasley]

So, I was curious... what are your favorite quotes from DH? I still don't have a copy (and there are 107 holds at the library in front of mine), so I need to know that there is at least some humor among all of the jumbled mess of dying, disease, chaos. It'll maybe help shed some positive onto the newly darkened plot, and let people know that while things are always serious, there is still something there to make you smile.

Apparently there is a quote in the book (I've been googling) that is funny to a lot of folk, but I don't know who said it or where.


"OI! There's a war going on here!"

[Jae Derakh]

Great idea for a thread! The book is actually very humorous, unexpectedly at times. A couple of favorites:

"He can run faster than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo if he wants to." -Don't remember who said it.

"Our Headmaster is taking a short break" said Professor McGonagall, pointing at the Snape-shaped hole in the window.

Haha, I love McGonagall. ;D

"OI! There's a war going on here!"

If I remember rightly, Harry says that when Hermione kisses Ron in the middle of the Battle of Hogwarts, to which Ron replies something like, "I know, so it's now or never, isn't it?"

"He can run faster than Severus Snape confronted with shampoo if he wants to." -Don't remember who said it.

Fred or George says this on Potterwatch about Voldie. ^^


"He has, to use a common phrase, done a bunk" - McGonagall about Snape's departure from school
"If we die for them, I'll kill you, Harry" - Ron

[Ron Weasley]

... what's a bunk? Heh, sorry to sound so American but I have no idea what it is, other than a kind of a bed.

[Liberty Martin]

Heh. It means to run away, normally in a cowardly fashion.

When talking about the Deathly Hallows and Hermione mentions Cinderella:

Ron - 'What's that, some sort of disease?'

I think that's how he went; haven't got my book at hand, so I'll edit this later.

[Remus Lupin]

[/b] - Mrs Weasley to Bellatrix Lestrange as Ginny was almost hit with Avada Kedavera

"Perhaps just one more, Master Harry, for luck?" - Kreacher to Harry, regarding the fact he just hit Mundungus with a frying pan

"If you're not in Gryffindor, we'll disinherit you," said Ron, "but no pressure." - It's in the time after DH has ended, but it's still great. XD

"Pathetic." he told George. "Pathetic! With the whole wide world of ear-related humor before you, you go for HOLEY?"
"Ah well," Said George, grinning at his tear soaked mother. "You'll be able to tell us apart now, anyway, Mum." - After George looses his ear, a short conversation.

May come up with more soon. [/size][/ul]

"Oh! I forgot, we'll be hunting down Voldemort in a mobile library!" - Ron to Hermione

"I think he's really looking forward to it." - Ron about the ghoul moving into his room LOL

[alisontarnish]

"Merlin's pants!" said by Hermione Granger ^^ golden

and then there's Ron's rebuttle or whatever you want to call it

"What in the name of Merlin's most baggy Y fronts was that about?"

[Theodore Nott]

"Hey, we're identical"

Fred & George after being transformed into Harry

[Harry Potter]

At the Lovegoods:
..."Everybody always requests our recipe for Freshwater Plimpy soup"
"Probably to show the poisoning Department at St. Mungo's", said Ron under his breath.

"She's nutty as squirrel poo." Ohh, Rita, hahah.

[Natalie Summers]

"Death's got an Invisibility Cloak?" Harry interrupted again.
"So he can sneak up on people," said Ron. "Sometimes he gets bored of running at them, flapping his arms and shrieking...sorry, Hermione."

"Come off it! You must have heard of Babbity Rabbity!" - Ron.

these aren't exactly funny but they're oh so adorably cute.

There was a clatter of basilisk fangs cascaded out of Hermione's arms. Running at Ron, she flung them around his neck and kissed him full on the mouth. Ron threw away the fangs and broomstick he was holding and responded with such enthusiasm that he lifted Hermione off her feet.
"Is this the moment?" Harry asked weakly, and when nothing happened except that Ron and Hermione gripped each other still more firmly and swayed on the spot, he raised his voice. "OI! There's a war going on here!"


"...thought we were supposed to be friends?" Snape was saying. "Best friends?"
"We are Sev..." - Lily.

"I have spied for you and lied for you, put myself in mortal danger for you. Everything was supposed to be to keep Lily Potter's son safe. Now you tell me you have been raising him like a pig for slaughter-"
"But this is touching Severus," said Dumbledore seriously. "Have you grown to care for the boy after all?"
"For him?" shouted Snape. "Expecto Patronum!"
From the tip of his want burt the silver doe: She landed on the office floor, bounded once across the office, and soared out of the window. Dumbledore watched her fly away, and as her silvery glow faded he turned back to Snape, and his eyes were full of tears.
"After all this time?"
"Always," said Snape.


"Look...at...me...." he (Snape) whispered.
The green eys found the black, but after a second, something in the depths of the dark pair seemed to vanish, leaving them fixed, blank, and empty.

i may find more later.

[Sinead Michaels ,]

Right now, I can only remember one, but I'll add more later if I can think of them.

"Come off it! You must have heard of Babbity Rabbity!" Ron, presumably while discussing the The Tales of Beedle the Bard with Harry & Hermione.
