Harry Quote by J.K. Rowling
““Is that a Sneakoscope?” said Hermione interestedly, standing up for a better look. “Yeah … mind you, it’s a very cheap one,” Ron said. “It went haywire just as I was tying it to Errol’s leg to send it to Harry.” “Were you doing anything untrustworthy at the time?” said Hermione shrewdly. “No! Well … I wasn’t supposed to be using Errol. You know he’s not really up to long journeys … but how else was I supposed to get Harry’s present to him?””
