Nearly Headless Nick: Like this. [pulls his head half off his neck]
Ron: Aah!”
“Ron: [Harry and Ron arrive late to Transfiguration] Whew, made it. Can you imagine the look on old McGonagall’s face if we were late? [the cat sitting at the head of the class suddenly transforms into her] That was bloody brilliant!
Professor McGonagall: Well, thank you for that assessment, Mr Weasley. Perhaps it would be more useful if I were to transfigure Mr Potter and yourself into a pocket watch? That way, one of you might be on time.
Harry: We got lost.
Professor McGonagall: Then perhaps a map? I trust you don’t need one to find your seats.”
“Hermione: That’s totally barbaric!
Ron: That’s wizard’s chess.”
“Fred Weasley: Well done, Harry. Wood’s just told us.
Ron: Fred and George are on the team, too. Beaters.
George Weasley: Our job is to make sure that you don’t get bloodied up too bad. Can’t make any promises, of course. Rough game, Quidditch.

“Oliver Wood: Scared, Harry?
Harry: A little.
Oliver Wood: That’s all right. I felt the same way before my first game.
Harry: What happened?

Ron: I forgot.
Hermione: And what, may I ask, do you plan to do if this comes up in the final exam?
Ron: Copy off you?”
“Hermione: Stop moving, both of you. This is devil’s snare! You have to relax. If you don’t, it’ll only kill you faster!
Ron: Kill us faster? Oh, now I can relax!”

The Best Funny Quotes from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Professor Sprout: [sighs] Yes, well, just leave him there.”

Ron: Are you mad?
Hermione: No, Harry. Even in the wizarding world, hearing voices isn’t a good sign.”
“Oliver Wood: We play our game, Hufflepuff doesn’t stand a chance. We’re stronger, quicker and smarter.

Oliver Wood: Well, that too.”
“Dobby: Listen… Listen, Terrible things are about to happen at Hogwarts. Harry Potter must not stay here, now that history is to repeat itself.

“Professor Minerva McGonagall: Well, you all know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago, by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age.

“Ron: Why spiders? Why couldn’t it be ‘follow the butterflies’?”
“Harry: Well… thank you. We’ll just go.
Aragog: Go? I think not. My sons and daughters do not harm Hagrid on my command, but I cannot deny them fresh meat when it wanders so willingly into our midst. Goodbye, friend of Hagrid.
Ron: Can we panic now?”
“Gilderoy Lockhart: [they find the Basilisk skin] What’s this? It looks like a… snake.

Ron: Yeah, tell them… I’ll tell them… [falls straight back asleep]”
“Ron: Let me get this strait. Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban to come after you?
Harry: Yeah.

Hermione: Did not!
Ron: Did.
Hermione: Didn’t.”
“Ron: [as Harry lays unconscious] Looks a bit peaky, doesn’t he?

“Sirius Black: Sorry about the bite, I reckon that twinges a bit.
Ron: A bit? A bit? You almost tore my leg off!

Ron: Yeah… it is, isn’t it. I suppose I was a bit distraught.”
“Professor McGonagall: The house of Godric Gryffindor has commanded the respect of the wizarding world for nearly ten centuries. I will not have you, in the course of a single evening, besmirching that name by behaving like a babbling, bumbling band of baboons!

Harry: I dunno, I haven’t really thought about it…
Rita Skeeter: Because you’re no ordinary boy of 12 are you?
Harry: 14.”
“Malfoy: Why so tense, Potter? My father and I have a bet, you see. I don’t think you’re going to last ten minutes in this tournament. He disagrees. He thinks you won’t last five! [laughs]

Ron: We’re still a bunch of misfits.”
“Harry: ‘Come seek us where our voices sound’.
Hermione: The Black Lake, that’s obvious.
Harry: ‘An hour long you’ll have to look’.

Harry: For a moment there, so did I!”
The Best Funny Quotes from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
The absolute worst part of the Order of the Phoenix was the character of Dolores Umbridge. Most people hated her more than Voldemort and that’s saying something!

Harry Potter: Thanks, Ron.

Hermione Granger: The Forbidden Forest?
Ron Weasley: Not bloody likely!”

“Severus Snape: [watches a touching memory between Harry and Sirius] I may vomit.”

Ron Weasley: Well? How was it?
Harry Potter: Wet. I mean, she was sort of crying.

Harry Potter: I’m sorry, Professor. But I must not tell lies.”
“Hermione Granger: How’d you get away?
Ginny Weasley: Puking Pastilles. It wasn’t pretty.
Ron Weasley: Told them I was hungry and wanted some sweets. Of course, they told me to bugger off and ate the lot themselves.
Hermione Granger: That was clever, Ron!
Ron Weasley: It’s been known to happen.”
The Best Funny Quotes from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
The Half-Blood Prince might be one of the saddest in the series, and as the films became increasingly darker there were fewer jokes. Moments of brevity were never omitted completely though, and these best funny lines from Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince prove it.

Horace Slughorn: Aaauughh!… Merlin’s beard, Harry!
Harry Potter: Oh, sorry, sir, I should’ve announced myself. Cleared my throat. Coughed. You probably feared I was Professor Sprout!
Horace Slughorn: Yes, I did actually!… What made you think that?
Harry Potter: Oh, well, just the general behavior, sir – the sneaking around, jumping when you saw me… Are those tentacular leaves, sir? They’re very valuable, aren’t they?
Horace Slughorn: Ten Galleons a leaf to the right buyer!… Not that I’m familiar with any such back alley transactions, but one does hear rumors. My own interests are purely academic, of course.
