What is the second sentence in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone?

Answer 1

"It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live" - Albus Dumbledore

Dumbledore says this to Harry to remind him that although looking at his family in the Mirror of Erised might make him happy in that moment, eventually it will consume him. Harry needs to be able to live in reality and not always think "what if?" - even though it can be hard to do so.

Answer 2

"Erised stra ehru oyt ube cafru oyt on wohsi," which is "I show not your face but your heart's desire" written backwards with the spaces rearranged (that is, in what is called 'mirror writing').

Answer 3

The second sentence in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is "They were the last people you'd expect to be involved in anything strange or mysterious, because they just didn't hold with such nonsense."

Answer 4

The last line in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, spoken by Harry to Hermione is:

"I'm going to have a lot of fun with Dudley this summer..."

Answer 5

There is more than one poem in Philosopher's Stone. There is the short one outside of Gringotts, the Sorting Hat's song, as well as the potion riddle near the end.
