Harry Potter movie quotes that make us instantly nostalgic

There's a reason they play Harry Potter around the holidays -- it's because it's almost physically impossible to watch one of those movies without reflecting on the legacy of both the fictional and real-life Golden Trio. It's been 20 years of memories! Forgive us for being a little emotional. 

With the Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts drop on Crave January 1, we're getting a little nostalgic for that faraway wizarding school and all the great wisdom that came out of it. Check out our favourite nostalgia-inducing quotes below (spoiler: there's a lot of Dumbledore) and watch the entire Harry Potter Collection on Crave anytime.
