Professor Minerva McGonagall Quotes:

  • Professor Minerva McGonagall: Years ago, when Potter's parent's were marked for death, do you remember? They went into hiding. Few knew where they were. One who did was Sirius Black. And he told You-Know-Who!

    Cornelius Fudge: Not only did Black lead You-Know-Who to the Potters that night, he also killed one of their friends, Peter Pettigrew.

    Madame Rosmerta: Peter Pettigrew?

    Professor Minerva McGonagall: Little lump of a boy, always following after Sirius Black.

    Madame Rosmerta: Oh, I remember him. Never let James and Sirius out of his sight. But what happened?

    Professor Minerva McGonagall: Well Peter Pettigrew tried to warn the Potters, and might have managed to if he hadn't run into an old friend.

    Madame Rosmerta: Mhm, Sirius Black.

    Cornelius Fudge: Black was vicious. He didn't kill Pettigrew, he destroyed him. A finger. That's all that was left, a finger. Nothing else.

    Professor Minerva McGonagall: Sirius Black may not have put his hands to the Potters, but he's the reason they're dead.

    Cornelius Fudge: And now he wants to finish what he started.

  • Professor Minerva McGonagall: [from trailer] Sirius Black is the reason the Potters are dead.

  • Hermione: Professor, I was wondering if you could tell us about the Chamber of Secrets.

    Professor Minerva McGonagall: [seeing everyone's faces] Very well. Well, you all know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago, by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age. Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. Now three of the founders co-existed quite harmoniously. One did not.

    Ron: Three guesses who.

    Professor Minerva McGonagall: Salazar Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed magical learning should be kept within all magic families. In other words, pure bloods. Unable to sway the others, he decided to leave the school. Now according to legend, Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in this castle, known as the Chamber of Secrets. Though shortly before departing, he sealed it until that time when his own true heir returned to the school. The heir alone would be able to open the chamber and unleash the horror within, and by so doing, purge the school of all those who, in Slytherin's view, were unworthy to study magic.

    Hermione: Muggle-borns.

    Professor Minerva McGonagall: Well naturally the school has been searched many times. No such chamber has been found.

  • Professor Minerva McGonagall: [to Ron; after seeing Ron unsuccessfully transform his pet rat into a teacup] That wand needs replacing, Mr. Weasley.

  • Professor Minerva McGonagall: Well, the chamber is said to be the home... of a monster.

  • Professor Minerva McGonagall: [to Harry, Ron, & Hermione] Why is it, when something happens, it is always you three?

    Ron Weasley: Believe me, Professor. I've been asking myself the same question for six years.

  • Professor Minerva McGonagall: Potter, take Weasley with you. He looks far too happy over there.

  • Professor Minerva McGonagall: Mr. Davis! Mr. Davis, that is the girls' lavatory.
