I have three kids who like Harry Potter so I was sort of aware of it. You can’t really move from it: it’s on buses, in stores, it’s everywhere. One of my kids has read the books; the other two are too small but they like the movies. Gary Oldman
You know a lot of what worked on this was taken from Harry Potter 2, the little Doby character, we had a lot of our skin stuff worked out and that helped a lot. We have a lot of exchange happening. Dennis Muren
Most modern science fiction went to school on ‘Dune.’ Even ‘Harry Potter’ with its ‘boy protagonist who has not yet grown into his destiny’ shares a common theme. When I read it for the first time, I felt like I had learned another language, mastered a new culture, adopted a new religion. Gary Ross
One week I was in school and the next I’m at Leavesden Studios in Dumbledore’s office reading scenes with Daniel Radcliffe. Weird. And terrifying for such a huge ‘Harry Potter’ fan. Evanna Lynch
I could never write about strange kingdoms. I could never do ‘Harry Potter’ or anything like that. Even when I did science-fiction, I didn’t write about foreign planets and distant futures. I certainly never did fantasies about trolls living under bridges. Richard Matheson
Kids are so fiercely opinionated, that if they love the Harry Potter books and they go see the movie, they’ll be the first to say, ‘That was wrong! They didn’t get that right!’ They’re storytellers themselves. They’re critics. They’re going to have the critical opinion. Spike Jonze
I did ‘Deathly Hallows’ so my kids could get on the ‘Harry Potter’ set. They met Daniel Radcliffe, who was a darling and couldn’t have been nicer to them so I’m a hero right now. Peter Mullan
Nearly all monster stories depend for their success on Jack killing the Giant, Beowulf or St. George slaying the Dragon, Harry Potter triumphing over the basilisk. That is their inner grammar, and the whole shape of the story leads towards it. A. N. Wilson
I am a big defender of ‘Harry Potter,’ and I think any book that gets kids to read are books that we should cherish, we should be thankful for them. Judy Blume
The challenge is, in terms of a canon like ‘X-Men,’ it’s more like ‘Harry Potter’ and Hogwarts, or ‘Game of Thrones.’ It needs time and space to evolve and to bring the reader or viewer in and give them a result that’s worth the investment of that time. Chris Claremont
It sounds so geeky, but I really do like studying and reading, and if I’m not working on ‘Harry Potter,’ then my greatest relaxation is to sit with a book. Emma Watson
I couldn’t watch ‘Harry Potter,’ ‘Lord of the Rings,’ ‘House’… I was like strictly a ‘SpongeBob,’ Disney Channel, Nickelodeon kinda guy. Joe Burrow
The one good thing is that I get a lot more good scripts coming through my letterbox. ‘Vera Drake’ raised my profile in one way, and then ‘Harry Potter’ in another. Imelda Staunton
Sometimes I’m stressed and I’m sick of things and I need to forget about them for a while, so in Harry Potter you’re taken to this wonderful imaginary world where everything is so different. Evanna Lynch
The more powerful you become, the less likely it is that people will tell you the truth. It must be why the ‘Harry Potter’ books become so bloated as the series progresses; think of the beautiful, precise editing of books 1-3 drowned in a mire of sycophancy and yea-saying. Robert Rinder
I was in the bath at the time, and my dad came running in and said, ‘Guess who they want to play Harry Potter!?’ and I started to cry. It was probably the best moment of my life. Daniel Radcliffe
‘Harry Potter’ gave me back self respect. Harry gave me a job to do that I loved more than anything else. J. K. Rowling
Some say it is the elements of hope and wonder in children’s books that make them special. But there are many dark young adult novels these days. Adults loved Harry Potter, though it was written for the young. In the end, it is probably up to the reader of any age to decide if this book is for him or her. Katherine Paterson
Mike and I were really interested in other epic ‘Legends & Lore’ properties, like ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Lord of the Rings,’ but we knew that we wanted to take a different approach to that type of genre. Our love for Japanese Anime, Hong Kong action & Kung Fu cinema, yoga, and Eastern philosophies led us to the initial inspiration for ‘Avatar.’ Bryan Konietzko
I understand why society, especially American society, is gravitating toward fairy tales, given our economy. We’ve been exploring the world of witches and wizards for years. We’ve been exploring the world of vampires for years. Clearly the public – I mean, I feel like all of this was ushered in by ‘Harry Potter’ – in my own fannish beliefs. Ginnifer Goodwin
This is what’s sick about living in L.A. My eight-year-old daughter will point to a woman and say, ‘Look! That woman’s had too much Botox.’ She spots them because they all look a bit like Lord Voldemort from ‘Harry Potter.’ Kate Beckinsale
I’ve basically grown up with Harry Potter, as so many kids my age have. It’s kind of a part of my life. Saoirse Ronan
‘Harry Potter’ achieved a very special act of actual magic: it made it completely acceptable for an adult to carry around, read and enjoy a children’s book. Maureen Johnson
I was working on ‘Harry Potter’ while I was growing up, and the attention it brought me made me feel quite isolated. Emma Watson
We can suspend disbelief about Harry Potter, and we do the same thing with God, and we do the same thing with human rights, and we do the same thing with money. Yuval Noah Harari
I really tried out for the part of Harry Potter, but they ended up picking me for the part of the enemy of Harry. Actually it is really fun playing the bad kid because it just has so many interesting qualities to it. And Daniel Radcliffe and I get along really well off set so it’s really fun filming. Tom Felton
And of course I’ve got kids of my own now, and they love me being in the Harry Potter films. I’m now part of a phenomenon. You become incredibly cool to your kids, and you get a young fan base. So you became the cool dad at school. You’re suddenly hip. Gary Oldman
Because actually it’s really hard to get things made. It takes years. To fight the fights you inevitably have to fight, even when you’ve produced Harry Potter, you’d better have the commitment and the passion to knock down walls, not take no for an answer. David Heyman
I like ‘Harry Potter.’ I’ve seen all of them, I think. Jared Goff
I would love to meet J.K. Rowling and tell her how much I admire her writing and am amazed by her imagination. I read every ‘Harry Potter’ book as it came out and looked forward to each new one. I am rereading them now with my kids and enjoying them every bit as much. She made me look at jelly beans in a whole new way. Sheryl Sandberg
I was grateful to have two weeks to shoot this one scene in Harry Potter. It’s a big, big scene, but they have to deliver. And they have high expectations. Ralph Fiennes
It was fun playing a horrible, snotty kid in ‘Harry Potter’, and then playing Prince Charming where I was also singing and playing guitar, and then playing a completely different character. Freddie Stroma
In the greed-is-good tradition of the ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Twilight’ movie franchises, the overseers of ‘The Hunger Games’ have split the last book into two films. Richard Corliss
I think readers are always patient. Look at the ‘Harry Potter’ series. Some have given up on this generation of kids as game and TV addicts, but lots of people spend lots of time patiently reading through hundreds of pages of dense prose. I think reading a comic by comparison is a lot more immediate. Dave Gibbons
Though I’ve been in horror movies, I just can’t watch them. The first time I watched a ‘Harry Potter’ movie, I had nightmares for, like, two weeks. Chelan Simmons
Hats off to starting a franchise younger than we all did in ‘Twilight’ and keeping your cool. The ‘Harry Potter’ men and women had, what, a 10-year run? Kellan Lutz
I’m a big fan of the ‘Harry Potter’ movies and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ films. John C. Reilly
I never actually got noticed on the street for ‘Harry Potter.’ I did it at such a young age, when I was going through puberty and changing up my hair and how I looked. Hero Fiennes-Tiffin
When I told people I was going to be doing the movie and the voice of Dobby, they were kind of awestruck, the people who knew about Harry Potter. I felt rather guilty that I didn’t really understand the scale of the job I was about to take on. Now, I am well aware of what I’m doing, and actually, it feels a very serious acting responsibility. Toby Jones
I am a really big Harry Potter fan and I’ve seen all the sets, I’ve lived Harry Potter and I don’t think it’s destroyed the books at all, I think it’s really spot on. Rupert Grint
Sometimes people are like, ‘Hey, you played Dean Thomas!’ and I’m like, ‘Wow, you actually know!’ It kind of shocks me because when I think about movies I love, and if I saw someone who essentially did what I did in Harry Potter, I probably wouldn’t recognize them walking down the street. Alfred Enoch
My parents sent me from Venezuela to the Convent of Our Lady, a boarding school in Hastings, which was horrible – like Harry Potter without the magic. Sometimes we went into town, and if we were caught chewing gum in our uniform, members of the public would take down our names and report us to the school. Carmen Busquets
I think movies do play a valuable role in turning people on to the act of reading. I think that phenomenon just creates readers. At first they’re going to love ‘Harry Potter,’ or they may love ‘The Hunger Games,’ but after that, they’re going to love the act of reading and wonder, ‘What else can I read?’ Gary Ross
‘Harry Potter’ shouldn’t be children’s first experience with suspense and plot turns. Berkeley Breathed
I was in ‘Harry Potter,’ and nobody on the street recognizes me from that. Nobody on the street has ever stopped me from ‘Harry Potter!’ Domhnall Gleeson
I always figured there would be a kid audience and an adult audience, and there is. That’s true for ‘Hunger Games’ and ‘Twilight’ and ‘Harry Potter.’ And ‘Maximum Ride,’ for sure. In particular what happens is a lot of parents share the books with their kids, and the mom has read it, and the kids, and they talk about it. James Patterson
I have spent many, many hours reading J.K. Rowling’s work. I am a known ‘Harry Potter’ fan. Lev Grossman
Some of the furor that surrounded a Harry Potter publication was fun. J. K. Rowling
I got very carried away with my ‘Harry Potter’ life and we did have school but I didn’t study. I just had fun. Evanna Lynch
And religion causes most of the problems, war, and economics of course, and study your history or you’re going to repeat it; and if you’re burning a Harry Potter book you need some serious counseling, you don’t get it, you’re missing the whole point. Michael Berryman
I like playing Vernon Dursley in ‘Harry Potter,’ because that gives me a license to be horrible to kids. I hate the odious business of sucking up to the public. Richard Griffiths
As a teacher, I’ve never seen anything like ‘Harry Potter.’ That’s why I smart when people talk about the ‘next’ ‘Harry Potter.’ There is no ‘next’ ‘Harry Potter.’ Rick Riordan
I have read only the first ‘Harry Potter’ book. I thought it excellent, perhaps the best thing written for older children since The Hobbit. I wish the books had been around when my kids were the right age for them. Gene Wolfe
I grew up as an only child and my mother was also an only child, so we were both very passionate about reading. I think I passed that on to my daughter, who went plowing through ‘Harry Potter’ and every other book possible! Kate Beckinsale
I’m excited to see a new age of rom-coms, and especially teen romantic comedies, because when I was younger, I was watching ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Hunger Games’ and stuff like that. I loved those movies, but they are a little bit heavy. We didn’t really get to have the lighthearted love stories. Shannon Purser
If I hadn’t done ‘Harry Potter,’ I would have gone and done years of art. I really do love it, and I’d love to write. Emma Watson
People ask me if there are going to be stories of Harry Potter as an adult. Frankly, if I wanted to, I could keep writing stories until Harry is a senior citizen, but I don’t know how many people would actually want to read about a 65 year old Harry still at Hogwarts playing bingo with Ron and Hermione. J. K. Rowling
I believe that hunger for a ‘lost dimension’ of experience is a natural yearning in all of us, and it doesn’t go away just because we ignore it. It is evidenced among other places in the millions of children and adults who obsessively read the ‘Harry Potter’ books. It is said that fiction is where someone gets to tell the truth. Marianne Williamson
With ‘Harry Potter,’ I’ve been all over the world. I probably wouldn’t have gone to New York so young if it weren’t for the films. Emma Watson
I never talk about ‘Harry Potter’ because I think that would rob children of something that’s private to them. I think too many things get explained, so I hate talking about it. Alan Rickman
‘Harry Potter’ created a generation of readers in an era when kids could have disappeared into the depths of the Internet. That’s no small feat. Every book series owes J.K. Rowling a debt of gratitude. Gary Ross
No one spoke in terms of children’s literature, as opposed to adult literature, until around the 1940s. It wasn’t categorised much before then. Even Grimm’s tales were written for adults. But it is true that ever since ‘Harry Potter’ there has been a renaissance in fantasy literature. J. K. Rowling opened the door again. Rick Riordan
Getting a role in ‘Harry Potter’ was like winning the lottery. But no one deserves an acting job. Jessie Cave
Rowling is a luminous storyteller. I love her sense of humor and the intricate wizarding world she built around Hogwarts. I think all writers aspire to be like her, to capture readers like she does. But I didn’t think about ‘Harry Potter’ when I wrote ‘The Bone Season.’ Samantha Shannon
Nothing’s really changed since the Harry Potter films came along. Tom Felton
I admire the world of the books and the characters that she’s created, but I’m not an addict of Harry Potter. I don’t feel possessive about it. Ralph Fiennes
When I first started acting I was about nine years old. I had never been to audition in my life and my agent sent me out. It was just a commercial for ‘Harry Potter.’ That was the first thing I ever went out for and I got the ‘Harry Potter’ commercial which was really cool, but I didn’t play Harry Potter. Alexander Ludwig
But I can’t imagine Harry being a stockbroker at 35. That doesn’t really seem the stuff of ‘Harry Potter’. David Heyman
But things such as ‘Harry Potter’, all I can do is shape my character, seek the director’s approval on that, and basically take it from there. Professor Flitwick in ‘Harry Potter’, I kind of defined how I saw him from reading the book, and luckily that matched up with the director’s vision. Warwick Davis
After being in Harry Potter, I believe a bit more in magic than I did before. Rupert Grint
I hope to read a Harry Potter novel soon, to see what it’s all about. I admit to being annoyed that many good light fantasy writers have had trouble getting published, in England and elsewhere, when it is obvious the readers were waiting for us all along. Piers Anthony
We’re always looking for ways to extend all of our intellectual property. We’ve seen that’s what happened with ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings.’ Jon Feltheimer
Well, before I knew there was going to be a film. I was the biggest Harry Potter fan. I read all the books. Rupert Grint
The sets were fantastic. The Harry Potter sets are brilliant. You do get transported for a second. Ralph Fiennes
I sort of try to read the books when they come out impartially and not make up my mind, but the fact is when I was reading the sixth, ‘Harry Potter And The Half-Blood Prince’, there were bits in there where I was going, ‘God, I would love to do that because it’s so good’. Daniel Radcliffe
As a kid, I always loved serialized books. It’s the reason why people love ‘Harry Potter.’ Serialization is amazing. It works in television. It works in film and it works in books. Especially when you’re a young kid, you get attached to these characters. Mindy Kaling
Anything that activates the joy center in the brain makes you happy, and therefore protects you. Oddly enough, that’s what they do in ‘Harry Potter’: The nurse gives the kids chocolates when they’ve been near the Dementors! Jane Siberry
So Harry Potter came in and it is nice that I have kids of the right age. I took them to London and they walked around the set and met Harry Potter and that is thrilling. Gary Oldman
Twilight’ has a supernatural reference to it with werewolves and vampires. ‘Harry Potter’ has magic. ‘The Hunger Games’ is about real people put into extreme situations and circumstances. Isabelle Fuhrman
I guess my guilty pleasure would be listening to the British audio versions of the ‘Harry Potter’ books. David Sedaris
I see myself doing Harry Potter films as long as I’m enjoying it and as long as they are going to challenge me as an actor. I want to be an actor – it’s my aspiration – so I want to do other films. I want to write something and I want to direct something! Daniel Radcliffe
I teach 18- to 21-year-olds – the ‘Harry Potter’ generation. They grew up as voracious readers, reading books in this exploding genre. But at some point, I would love for them to give Umberto Eco or A.S. Byatt a try. I hope ‘A Discovery of Witches’ will serve as a kind of stepping-stone. Deborah Harkness
I dream of working with iconic directors such as Tim Burton, Baz Luhrmann, Terry Gilliam and Wes Anderson – so I’m setting my sights pretty high! My perfect role would be in a fairy-tale period piece, and I’m quite upset all the Harry Potter movies have been made as I’d love to have been in those. Dree Hemingway
There’s no subtext in ‘Harry Potter,’ really; it’s all magic – anything can happen. Why do I say this? Because it’s a magic spell. It’s quite nice in a way. There is a real freedom to it. Doesn’t say much for acting, does it? Michael Gambon
I love ‘Harry Potter.’ I’m a huge nerd – I would dress up if I could. Veronica Roth
Chris Columbus, who directed the first two Harry Potter films and was the family comedy king through the ’80s and ’90s – ‘Mrs. Doubtfire,’ ‘Home Alone,’ etc. – has acquired rights to ‘The Cypress House’ and is working on the script himself, with intent to direct. Michael Koryta
It’s always at the back of my mind that acting might come to an end for me when Harry Potter finishes. I don’t know if I’m good enough to have a long career. I’ve got a bit of an inferiority complex about my acting. My self-esteem is quite low in that sense. Rupert Grint
Harry Potter is awesome. Ed Sheeran
I would miss months of school and then return with bright blond hair. Needless to say, there was bullying. I wasn’t beaten up daily, but there was name-calling and jealousy. You have to bear in mind that ‘Harry Potter’ wasn’t cool. I wasn’t part of the ‘Terminator’ franchise. Tom Felton
Apart from ‘VIP’ being a blockbuster movie, the various characters such as mine, the Luna bike I use in the movie, the lovable amma and appa, a pet dog named Harry Potter, the innocent brother, etc., had a huge reach among the audiences. Dhanush
The sixth Harry Potter film – I don’t like my performance in that film at all. Daniel Radcliffe
I love ‘Harry Potter’ and JK Rowling – don’t laugh at me! ASAP Rocky
I actually have a young readers’ series that I wanna do, kind of in the same lane as a Harry Potter or Narnia or Twilight. I want to write stuff like that. Jhene Aiko
The moment I said I’d finished a book, I knew what would happen. There would be a bidding war, and I would end up with someone who’d got the fattest wallet, who had bought it because I’d written Harry Potter. That would have been why. J. K. Rowling
My kids love it. I thought I was the coolest dad in the world when I got to be in a Bond film, but ‘Harry Potter’, too? Well, I think I qualify for a medal for exceptional parenting or something, don’t you? Robbie Coltrane
I absolutely don’t relate to being beaten down my whole life – I had amazing opportunities at a young age – but there is still in many, many people’s minds the notion that I’ll never be able to escape Harry Potter. Daniel Radcliffe
Honestly, I get more recognized for ‘Three Men and a Little Lady’ than ‘Harry Potter’. Fiona Shaw
I don’t read. I don’t like to read ‘Harry Potter’ or anything like that. It’s not my style. Nicole Polizzi
If you’re going to pick a book and you want to base a system of government around it, why not ‘Harry Potter?’ Lewis Black
I’m never going to be in something as commercially successful as ‘Harry Potter’ ever again. It’s impossible. So that gives me incredible freedom to go off and make the slightly off-the-wall films that I want to make. Daniel Radcliffe
