Harry Potter Moment of the Week (64): Best Minerva McGonagall Line

Harry Potter Moment of the Week is a meme hosted by Uncorked Thoughts. The aim of this meme is to share with fellow bloggers a character, spell, chapter, object or quote from the books/films/J. K. Rowling herself or anything Potter related! A list of upcoming topics can be found here.

This week's topic is:
Best Minerva McGonagall Line

I always loved how Professor McGonagall had that stern but caring thing going on, like she wouldn't hesitate to tell you off, but it was for your own good. :D Speaking of telling people off, I think one of her finest moments is in Order of the Phoenix, when Harry has his career appointment with her, and Umbridge objects to the idea of him ever becoming an Auror. McGonagall's response always makes me smile:

"Potter," she said in ringing tones,"I will assist you to become an Auror if it is the last thing I do! If I have to coach you nightly I will make sure you achieve the required results!"

  1. Definitely! I loved everything that she dished out to Umbridge that no one else did. I also really appreciated that the next year, she made sure he was in the right classes since things had switched up and she followed up on that statement. Great pick! Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven.

    1. Yes! I also thought it was great how McGonagall genuinely wanted Harry to succeed in his career choice and how she continued to help him on the path to achieving it.

  2. I freaking ADORE how she stands up to Umbridge time and time again. Her sass is legendary! And I wanted to applaud her when she fought for Harry to become an Auror like that ♥ hahahaha she's so strong and stubborn :D

    1. Umbridge tried so hard to have the last word in all of her interactions with McGonagall, but she was no match every. Time. Not even close! :D

  3. That was a very cool thing to do! I was so happy she made sure in a way that he got there, even though he wasn't as eager as she was hahaha :D In any case, as long as Umbridge didn't win ^^
    Great pick!

    1. I loved how McGonagall never backed down from Umbridge and always stood her ground. Poor Harry- I really felt bad for him during that appointment!

  5. Yesss! I loved it so much. She was another parental figure to Harry. She was determined to help him and best Umbridge in the process :)

    1. As tough as she could be with her students, I think she always had a special place in her heart for Harry. I also loved when she gave him the Nimbus 2000. :)
