In this episode, we discuss some of my least favorite quotes. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:
· 2:00 “There is no good and evil, only power, and those too weak to seek it.” How Voldemort is this one, huh? I can appreciate this quote as the very least. It is well written and reflects the values that Voldemort has. However, he is wrong. If this quote was instead something like: “In the world, there is more than good and evil. There is power, and those too weak to seek it” it might have rung true. Unfortunately Voldemort disregards the very ideas of good and evil as false.

· 11:32 “If it’s true, what you say, and he has the Elder Wand, you really don’t stand a chance.” This quote is far from false. That is not the reason why it is among my least favorite. In fact, I would go as far as to say that Ollivander is completely right. He just shouldn’t have told Harry that the fight is pointless before it even begins.

· 17:50 “He’s not back!” Fudge is ignorant. He doesn’t want to believe that Voldemort is back, and even if he knows that he is, he insists on continuing to say that Voldemort is far from returned. If Fudge had just accepted it and began action earlier, it may have been much easier to win.

· 21:55 “He’s not James, Sirius.” I didn’t think Mrs. Weasley would get on this list, but here we are. Sirius and Mrs. Weasley are arguing about Harry’s involvement in the Order of the Phoenix, when she drops this on Sirius. She shouldn’t feel the need to go this low.

· 27:03 “I don’t think you’re a waste of space.” Dudley finally makes this realization after 17 years of living with his cousin. This is such a heart-wrenching quote and probably the nicest thing Dudley has ever said in his life, but it comes at the worst time. It is a shame that the very moment they have to say goodbye is the moment they finally reach somewhat good terms. Moments after this quote, the Dursleys leave and they never see Harry again.
