If your child happens to be a Potterhead, these are inspirational quotes to read over and over, straight from their dearest Harry Potter characters.
Wisdom from a mix of characters
Straight from your child’s (or your) most-beloved character, these are the quotes for your kid to repeat to themselves during all types of situations.

Luna Lovegood
Yes, you could say we have a specific character we turn to over others when we need life guidance. Luna Lovegood has so many great quotes that she gets her own section. While she gets portrayed as the weird one, if you pay attention to her actual words, there’s nothing but wisdom from the rambunctiously radiant Ravenclaw.
Some of her best inspirational advice
- “Things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end, if not always in the way we expect.”

Sharing your love of literature with your child while providing them with inspirational sayings to be there for them whenever they need is pretty special.

We all have mantras or quotes we say to ourselves when we need that extra bit of help to get through a moment. Share these inspirational quotes with your kiddos to have in their pocket while keeping the next generation of Potterheads going strong.
