I am very frustrated by fear of imagination, I don’t think that’s healthy.

I think the willfully unimaginative see more monsters. They are often more afraid.

Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.

What you fear most of all is —fear. Very wise...

Voldemort is playing a very clever game. Declaring himself might have provoked open rebellion. Remaining masked has created confusion, uncertainty, and fear.

And then there were the Dementors. Harry felt sick and humiliated every time he thought of them. Everyone said the Dementors were horrible, but no one else collapsed every time they went near one...no one else heard echoes in their head of their dying parents.

They moved from the drawing room to a dining room on the ground floor where they found spiders large as saucers lurking in the dresser (Ron left the room hurriedly to make a cup of tea and did not return for an hour and a half)

Harry the spider! they want me to tap dance. I don't want to tap dance!
