What i would most like to think they would take away, is what i take away when i read my favorite books. which is the knowledge that there is always somewhere you can go, that you love, and where you're safe. and that's how i feel about my favorite books, wherever i am, if i've got that book with me, i've got a place where i can go and be happy. so if that place is hogwarts for anyone, then i couldn't be more honored or humbled.

More From J. K. Rowling

Hogwarts, hogwarts, hoggy warty hogwarts, teach us something please, whether we be old and bald, or young with scabby knees, our heads could do with filling with some interesting stuff, for now they're bare and full of air, dead flies and bits of fluff, so teach us something worth knowing, bring us back what we've forgot, just do your best, we'll do the rest, and learn until our brains all rot.
Knowing Air Interesting
Read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read, read...if you don't read, you will never be a filmmaker.
Filmmaking Filmmaker Ifs
Wherever snow falls, or water flows, or birds fly, wherever day and night meet in twilight, wherever the blue heaven is hung by clouds, or sown with stars, wherever are forms with transparent boundaries, wherever are outlets into celestial space, wherever is danger, and awe, and love, there is beauty, plenteous as rain, shed for thee, and though thou shouldest walk the world over, thou shalt not be able to find a condition inopportune or ignoble.
Beauty Stars Rain
If the book we are reading does not wake us, as with a fist hammering on our skull, why then do we read? so that it shall make us happy? good god, we should also be happy if we had no books, and such books as make us happy we could, if need be, write ourselves. but what we must have are those books which come upon us like ill fortune, and distress us deeply, like the death of one we love better than ourselves; like suicide. a book must be an ice-axe to break the sea frozen inside us.
Happiness Suicide Book
Because by now elinor had understood this, too: a longing for books was nothing compared with what you could feel for human beings. the books told you about that feeling. the books spoke of love, and it was wonderful to listen to them, but they were no substitute for love itself. they couldn't kiss her like meggie, they couldn't hug her like resa, they couldn't laugh like mortimer. poor books, poor elinor.
Book Kissing Laughing
You will want a book which contains not man's thoughts, but god's - not a book that may amuse you, but a book that can save you - not even a book that can instruct you, but a book on which you can venture an eternity - not only a book which can give relief to your spirit, but redemption to your soul - a book which contains salvation, and conveys it to you, one which shall at once be the saviour's book and the sinner's.

We can learn to ignore the bullshit in the bible about gay people. the same way we have learned to ignore the bullshit in the bible about shellfish, about slavery, about dinner, about farming, about menstruation, about virginity, about masturbation.

Of course the new testament is very small. its mouth opens four times as out-of-date as a prehistoric monster, yet somehow man-made.

The bible makes it clear that every time that there is a story of faith, it is completely original. god's creative genius is endless.
Bible God Faith
We have staked the whole future of our new nation, not upon the power of government; far from it. we have staked the future of all our political constitutions upon the capacity of each of ourselves to govern ourselves according to the moral principles of the ten commandments.
