Quote #7

JAMES POTTER: Come on, Moony, Padfoot. Snape. Expelliarmus.

SIRIUS BLACK: Nice one, James.

HARRY POTTER: Dad.

JAMES POTTER: Impedimenta.

CROWD: Snivellus Greasy. Snivellus Greasy.

JAMES POTTER: Right. Who wants to see me take off Snivelly's trousers?

CROWD: Snivellus Greasy. Snivellus Greasy.

SEVERUS SNAPE: Enough. Enough. Your lessons are at an end.

HARRY POTTER: I—

SEVERUS SNAPE: Get out.

This is actually a really sad scene. Harry is so convinced of his father's goodness but then he gets a peak into Snape's memory and he sees that James Potter and Sirius Black weren't all that nice as fifteen-year-olds. In fact, they were full on bullies. No wonder Snape hates Harry's dad. No wonder Snape hates Harry…

Quote #8

LUCIUS MALFOY: Haven't you always wondered what was the reason for the connection between you and the Dark Lord. Why he was unable to kill you when you were just an infant? Don't you want to know the secret, of your scar? All of the answers are there, Potter, in your hand. All you have to do is give it to me, I can show you everything.

HARRY POTTER: I've waited fourteen years...

LUCIUS MALFOY: I know.

HARRY POTTER: Think I can wait a little longer.

These are pretty tantalizing questions about Harry's past. Actually we think we'd like them answered. Maybe you could just hand over the prophecy Harry and we could get a little bit of backstory here. No? Okay, fine…

Quote #9

SIRIUS BLACK: Nice one, James!

Sirius says this to Harry right before he dies. It's a powerful beat as he and Harry are in the midst of fighting Death Eaters and Sirius is clearly caught up in the excitement of the "good old days." Harry barely has time to process this though because within a few seconds Sirius is dead.
