Harry Potter Quotes for Kids

These 7 lessons are based on friendship, standing up for what is right, and bravery, which are all traits we could use a little more of nowadays.

1) “We must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy”

Although when Dumbledore said this to Harry Potter he was talking about Lord Voldemort returning, it does not make it any less relevant. Learning that the right decision is often not easy is an important life lesson that many adults even have difficulty with.

2) “If you want to know what a man’s like, take a look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals”

Teach your children to treat everyone with respect and dignity. It doesn’t matter if someone is less fortunate, they deserve to be respected and treated fairly. The janitor deserves the same level of respect as the CEO.

3) “Happiness can be found, even in the darkest times, if one only remembers to turn on the lights”

Just because bad things happen, does not mean all hope is lost. No doubt, things will not always go as planned for your children. They may not get an A on a test, they may not make the soccer team, or worse. Instill in them the lesson that when things look grim, keep your head up and march on.

4) “It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies but just as much to stand up to our friends”

This may be one of the most relevant and important lessons we can teach our kids today. There will always be bullies in our lives. Sometimes, these bullies are actually our friends. It has to be so challenging for our children to stand up to bullies, especially if it is a friend. Be a leader, not a follower.

5) “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities”

There will always be people who are more fortunate than us. Someone will always be stronger, faster, and smarter. Teach your children that it is their determination and willpower that will set them apart.

6) “What’s coming will come, and we will face it when it does”

Worrying about the future will not change anything. If you child is stressed out about something, explain that you will face it with them.

7) “Words are, in my not-so-humble opinion, our most inexhaustible source of magic. Capable of both inflicting injury and remedying it”

And lastly, my favorite lesson of all. Words are powerful. Children may not think their voice is heard, but it is important for them to know the impact of what they say. A seemingly silly, but rude comment can cause a lot of damage to another child. On the other hand, your child saying “good job” to another kid or inviting them to sit at their lunch table could change another child’s day.
