In the same way that so many people read 'Harry Potter'

In the same way that so many people read ‘Harry Potter’ and went to see ‘Harry Potter,’ just because a movie is about a kid, doesn’t mean it’s for kids, and just because a movie is about a girl, doesn’t mean it’s for girls.
Cassandra Clare
I’m obsessed with Maggie Smith – the way that she can be the most brilliant actress in every single situation and then do Harry Potter, and still make me cry while she’s casting spells with a wand?
Frankie Grande
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
The thing about ‘Harry Potter’ is it’s great fun because of the people – I was usually with Julie Walters and Mark Williams, Brendan Gleeson, Robbie Coltrane, and the kids. Wonderful, funny, amazing people. If you’re going to hang around on a set bored, you might as well do it with Julie Walters.
David Thewlis
The good thing about my part in ‘Harry Potter’ was that I was pretty well disguised. When I was walking down the street, there was no real recognition factor. Parents would sometimes call their children to come say hello to Mad-Eye, and the kids wouldn’t know what they were looking at.
Brendan Gleeson
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
I only discovered the ‘Harry Potter’ series in my tenth standard. I dived right into it, often reading non-stop through the day and night. It was the morning after one such readathon when I was to appear for a Chemistry exam. Spending my night with the third edition of Harry Potter didn’t help much, and I fared poorly.
Sonam Kapoor
New York publishing is about, ‘What’s the next Harry Potter? What’s the next Twilight?’ When I’ve approached people, I’ve asked, ‘What is the book you’ve been dying to do, but New York won’t do?’ I want the books that they think won’t sell – because I think they will.
Marissa Moss
I got very lucky with ‘Harry Potter.’ I got that role because I’m a ginger! Red hair was my only qualification!
Domhnall Gleeson
It’s really cool to do, like, a ‘Harry Potter’ evolution because you can really take your time with the character development: really, like, don’t rush past the implications of great power and great responsibility.
Jon Watts
Emma Watson definitely is my celebrity crush. I love ‘Harry Potter.’ Plus, she’s gorgeous, which really helps.
Nathan Chen
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 love ‘Harry Potter.’ I’m a huge nerd – I would dress up if I could.
Veronica Roth
I live in Leeds, which is about 200 miles north of London, and I get to go and do all the ‘Harry Potter’ stuff and make great films and be part of this wonderful thing all around the world, and then I get to go home and chill out with my friends in Leeds and go watch the football and go to the pub.
Matthew Lewis
You know that I had heard so many times people say things like, ‘You could never write ‘Harry Potter’ and have it be about Harriett Potter because nobody would read it; people only want to read an adventure story if it’s about a boy,’ and I thought, ‘I don’t think that’s true.’
Cassandra Clare
I love all the ‘Harry Potter’ books. Those are just my favorites.
Kirstin Maldonado
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
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
Greyfriars School is like Hogwarts School in the Harry Potter stories and the whole world of magic is the world of J.M.Barrie.
Gyles Brandreth
My grandmother would give me a beautiful book each year. I especially loved the Beatrix Potter books. They were very detailed. And I promised myself that was what I’d do. I also loved the big words she used. I was excited because I knew what they meant from the context. I put a few big words in for just that reason.
Jan Brett
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 had admired the way the producers of the ‘Harry Potter’ franchise had found David Yates, who ended up doing their four final movies, and he’d come from television.
Kevin Feige
I’m interested in making films of all sizes. During this time I’ve made a film called ‘The Boy in the Striped Pajamas’, which is a modest-sized film. I was involved in ‘I Am Legend’ and ‘Yes, Man’, but ‘Potter’ is unique. There’ll never be anything like ‘Potter’ again.
David Heyman
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
I don’t want to be one of those old people getting up at 5 A.M. to potter.
David Baddiel
Warwick Davies is a cracking actor. The opening scene in the last ‘Harry Potter’ film, where he plays a captured Griphook, is mesmerising. His pacing is sublime, and the menace and regret he builds into the scene is fantastic.
Ian Watson
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 turned down ‘Harry Potter’ and ‘Spider-Man,’ two movies that I knew would be phenomenally successful, because I had already made movies like that before and they offered no challenge to me. I don’t need my ego to be reminded.
Steven Spielberg
Whenever I start a ‘Potter’ film, I get these dreams. The last dream I had, I was in a war and the sky was blotted with broomsticks and I couldn’t find my wand. It was so intense. I always have mental, intense, war wizard dreams when I’m doing the films.
Natalia Tena
I hear it all the time: ‘What happened to the Grace Potter who didn’t used to wear makeup?’
Grace Potter
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
Being able to do a role where you learn a new skill is

Being able to do a role where you learn a new skill is just such a dream. I recently played a potter and got to learn pottery.
Phoebe Dynevor
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
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
I hope people will never stop dressing up as Harry Potter. It feels less to me like something you wear because you think it’s a great costume idea and more like something you wear because you really like wearing your Hogwarts robe, and you really only get the one chance per year.
Monica Hesse
It’s like a badge of honour if you’re a British actor and you get the ‘Harry Potter’ call. It meant a lot to me.
Rhys Ifans
I worked in the second, third, and fourth editions of ‘Harry Potter.’ I played one of the students.
Hazel Keech
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
I was working on ‘Harry Potter’ while I was growing up, and the attention it brought me made me feel quite isolated.
Emma Watson
The emotions triggered by fiction are very real. When Charles Dickens wrote about the death of Little Nell in the 1840s, people wept – and I’m sure that the death of characters in J.K. Rowling’s ‘Harry Potter’ series led to similar tears.
Paul Bloom
The premise of ‘Secret Coders’ is reminiscent of ‘Harry Potter.’ An intrepid band of tweens stumbles upon a secret school, only instead of teaching magic, the school teaches coding.
Gene Luen Yang
I don’t plan the books ahead of time. It’s not like Harry Potter. I don’t work in a straight line. I don’t write with an outline.
Diana Gabaldon
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
I can’t really say enough about Chris Potter. He is one of the greatest musicians I have ever known, and every second I have been on the band stand with him has been an absolute pleasure.
Pat Metheny
I will never stop being excited about ‘Harry Potter.’
Danielle Macdonald
‘Harry Potter’ gave me back self respect. Harry gave me a job to do that I loved more than anything else.
J. K. Rowling
‘Harry Potter’ shouldn’t be children’s first experience with suspense and plot turns.
Berkeley Breathed
Some people came up with story lines where Colonel Potter moves in with Klinger, and we become a 1950s’ odd couple. I said, ‘Come on, let’s do something significant.’
Jamie Farr
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
