“To the well-organized mind, death is but the next great adventure.” ― Albus Dumbledore.

“You said it wasn’t just memorizing a bunch of spells, you said it was just you and your brains and your guts - well, wasn’t that what Snape was saying? That it really comes down to being brave and quick-thinking?” – Hermione Granger.“It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.” – Albus Dumbledore.Here are the best Harry Potter quotes that will inspire your kids to be brave…even if they aren’t battling Lord Voldemort. From Neville Longbottom to Albus Dumbledore to Harry Potter himself, Hogwarts pupils are an embodiment of daring tenacity. Luckily, we can turn to fictional characters like those in Harry Potter, those of which are in much more precarious situations than our kids will ever be in, to teach us all some courage. And if we’re being honest, these “scary” experiences aren’t usually much more than being the first at bat at a Little League game or a daunting ballet recital. It can feel tempting to shield them from these scary experiences, but logically we know that it’s exactly what they need to grow into the courageous child we all hope to have and to brag about. It prescribes stepping back, staying quiet, and trusting that they’re a lot stronger than their small stature suggests. And oftentimes as a parent, inspiring bravery in kids requires throwing them out to the big, scary world and letting them fend for themselves.

Bravery is not something that can be readily taught.
