“Cedric smiled and sat back again. 'You only think that because you think heroes always win. Trust me on this one, James. A hero isn’t defined by winning. Loads of heroes die in the effort. Most of them never get any recognition. No, a hero is just somebody who does the right thing when it would be far, far easier to do nothing.”

“Enjoy your ignorance while you can.” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing
“What in the name of Voldy’s pasty-white rear end was that?” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing
“The scariest people in the world are not always the ones who are bent on evil, James. Sometimes, the scariest person is the one who mistakes their own lies for truth.” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing
“Know your feelings. Master them or they will master you.” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing
“Then I have an ivory chair high to sit upon, Almost like my father's chair, which is an ivory throne; There I sit uplift and upright, there I sit alone.” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing
“The battle is always the same, just with different chapters.” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing
“Love is like chains of unbreakable steel. Love is like iron weights, heavier than the world. Love can crush just as surely as it can lift up. Everything else wilts before it.” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Vault of Destinies
“None of us were kidding when we said we wanted to have enough kids to make a Quidditch team, were we?” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Curse of the Gatekeeper
“Mr. Grey peeked around the corner and surveyed the corridor. It stretched off into dim infinity, dotted with floating globes of silvery light. Mr. Grey had been told that the globes were swampfire, encased in a timeloop charm so they were inextinguishable. He’d never even heard of swampfire, much less a timeloop charm, but then again, Mr. Grey had never been in a place quite like the Hall of Mysteries. He shuddered.” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing
“a hero is just somebody who does the right thing when it would be far, far easier to do nothing.”-Cedric Diggory-” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing
“I’ve heard enough Potter explanations throughout the years to know the general shape of them, anyway.” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing
“No point making rules against things that are impossible.” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing
“I hate to say it, but it can’t be much of a dark conspiracy if a trio of first-year shlubs like us have worked it all out.” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing
“James Potter moved slowly along the narrow aisles of the train, peering as nonchalantly as he could into each compartment. To those inside, he probably looked as if he was searching for someone, some friend or group of confidantes with whom to pass the time during the trip, and this was intentional. The last thing that James wanted anyone to notice was that, despite the bravado he had so recently displayed with his younger brother Albus on the platform, he was nervous. His stomach knotted and churned as if he’d had half a bite of one of Uncles Ron and George’s Puking Pastilles. He opened the folding door at the end of the passenger car and stepped carefully through the passage into the next one. The first compartment was full of girls. They were talking animatedly to one another, already apparently the best of friends despite the fact that, most likely, they had only just met. One of them glanced up and saw him staring. He quickly looked away, pretending to peer out the window behind them, toward the station which still sat bustling with activity. Feeling his cheeks go a little red, he continued down the corridor. If only Rose was a year older she’d be here with him. She was a girl, but she was his cousin and they’d grown up together. It would’ve been nice to have at least one familiar face along with him.” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing
“Apologizing is great, but ‘sorry’ isn’t a magic word.” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Hall of Elders' Crossing
“Go for it, Aunt Ginny! Knock him flying! You can always have another kid! One with better manners and less stinky feet!” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Curse of the Gatekeeper

“You’ll never make sense of his notes. You just have to listen to his lecture,” Graham whispered confidentially. “It’s a challenge, but the good news is that he’s been giving the same tests for forty years. The answers are carved right into the tops of the desks. See?” ― G. Norman Lippert, James Potter and the Curse of the Gatekeeper
