Don't let the muggles get you down.
I forgot Dumbledore trashed Hogwarts, refused to resign and ran off to the forest to make speeches to angry trolls.
He’ll accept anyone at Hogwarts, s’long as they’ve got the talent. Knows people can turn out okay even if their families weren’ . . .well . . . all tha’ respectable.

Gringotts was the safest place in the world for something you wanted to hide — except perhaps Hogwarts.
Don’ you worry, Harry. You’ll learn fast enough. Everyone starts at the beginning at Hogwarts, you’ll be just fine. Just be yerself. I know it’s hard. Yeh’ve been singled out, an’ that’s always hard. But yeh’ll have a great time at Hogwarts — I did — still do, ’smatter of fact.
My parents are muggles, mate. They don't know nothing about no deaths at Hogwarts, because I'm not stupid enough to tell them.

Dumbledore will only leave from Hogwarts when there are none loyal to him!
We'll send you a Hogwarts toilet seat!
Whether you come back by page or by the big screen, Hogwarts will always be there to welcome you home.
