Witchcraft Quotes

Dobby: [about his bout of inflicting harm on himself] Dobby had to punish himself, sir. Dobby almost spoke ill of his family, sir.
Harry Potter: Your family?
Dobby: [sits on Harry's chair and looks directly into Harry's eyes] The wizard family that Dobby serves, sir. Dobby is bound to serve one family forever... if they ever knew

Dobby was here! Oooo! But Dobby had to come. Dobby must tell Harry Potter. To warn him...
[whispers]
Dobby: Harry Potter must not go back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year... There is a plot.
[looks around anxiously]
Dobby: A plot to make the most *terrible* things happen!
Harry Potter: What

terrible things? Who's plotting them?
Dobby: [making facial expressions and talking through his teeth] He... Who... Can't... Name...
[Dobby begins to make noises, as though arguing with himself]
Harry Potter: [trying to be calm] Okay, I understand... You can't say his name.
[Dobby jumps on a table and grabs Harry's desklamp and turns it

upside down]
Dobby: [with a low grunt, Dobby begins hitting head on the base of the lamp, squealing and yelping in pain]
Harry Potter: [trying to sound calm] Dobby... Please. Put. The Lamp. Down!

Lord Voldemort: To those of you who do not know: we are joined tonight by Ms. Charity Burbage, who until recently taught at Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry. Her speciality was Muggle Studies. It is Ms. Burbage's belief that Muggles are not so different from us. She would, given her way, have us... mate with them.
Bellatrix Lestrange: Blech!

Minister: I thought Lacon had made it clear to you: keep your nose bloody well out of Witchcraft's business!
George Smiley: It's Lacon's advice I'm following.
[to Lacon]
George Smiley: You told me to follow in Control's footsteps.
Minister: I wouldn't consider that sound advice, given the mess Control

left us with. It has taken Alleline - and if I may say so, myself - this long to get us back in the game.
George Smiley: The man Alleline and the others meet is called Polyakov. You believe his role is to bring information from Witchcraft to you. His real role is to receive information from the mole, to take back to Karla.
Minister: [laughing

incredulously] That... that's not possible.
George Smiley: Made possible, by you, in the house which you persuaded the Treasury to pay for.
Minister: Witchcraft's intelligence is genuine! It's been gold!
George Smiley: It's just enough glitter amongst the chickenfeed. Control didn't believe in miracles, and he didn't believe

in Witchcraft. But you were lazy, and you were greedy, and so you hounded him out of the Circus and you let Karla in. You've opened negotiations to exchange intelligence with the Americans...
[Realizing the implications of what Smiley is saying, the Minister starts to tremble]
George Smiley: What they tell the Circus, they'll be telling the Kremlin. Witchcraft's

information, the "gold" Karla let you have, it wasn't to lure you. It was to lure the Americans. Now... do you want to take credit for that?

Friar Tuck: So... you sold your soul to Satan, Your Grace. You accused innocent men of witchcraft and let them die!
Bishop of Hereford: Brother Friar, you would not strike a fellow man of the cloth?
Friar Tuck: No, no, I wouldn't. In fact, I'll help you pack for your journey.
[weighs the Bishop down with several heavy sacks]

Friar Tuck: You're going to need lots of gold to help you on your way - you're a very rich man, eh? This too, and that!
[holds up one last bag]
Friar Tuck: And... here's thirty pieces of silver, to pay the Devil... ON YOUR WAY TO HELL!
[shoves the Bishop out of a window, to fall to his death]
