A sentient planner on time management:<\/p>\n
“If you’ve dotted your i’s and crossed your t’s then you may do whatever you please!” (Book 5)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Harry’s process for picking classes:<\/p>\n
“In the end, he chose the same new subjects as Ron, feeling that if he was lousy at them, at least he’d have someone friendly to help him.” (Book 2)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Dumbledore on taking good notes:<\/p>\n
“One simply siphons the excess thoughts from the mind, pours them into the basin, and examines them at one’s leisure.\u00a0 It becomes easier to spot patterns and links, you understand, when they are in this form.” (Book 4)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ron channels Hermione’s key to success:<\/p>\n
“When in doubt, go to the library” (Book 2)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Lupin’s advice for handling Boggarts and other frightening things:<\/p>\n
“I would like all of you to take a moment now to think of the thing that scares you most, and imagine how you might force it to look comical.” (Book 3)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Firenze teaches students not what to think, but how:<\/p>\n
“He was nothing like any human teacher Harry had ever had.\u00a0 His priority did not seem to be to teach them what he knew, but rather to impress upon them that nothing, not even centaurs’ knowledge, was foolproof.” (Book 5)<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Hermione on books not always telling the whole story:<\/p>\n
