1. And why do we fall? So that we can learn to pick ourselves up again.
2. To manipulate the fears of others, you must first learn to master your own.
3. It’s not who you are underneath, it’s what you do that defines you.

No man is perfect. Throughout the 7 books, Harry Potter has taught me that it is our decisions that decide our character and not our abilities. Lord Voldemort is possibly the most able Wizard in the world but that didn’t mean he is the greatest.
