Beyond belief Quote by J.K. Rowling
““It was stupid, pointless, irritating beyond belief that he still had four days left of being unable to perform magic…but he had to admit to himself that this jagged cut in his finger would have defeated him. He had never learned how to repair wounds, and now he came to think of it--particularly in light of his immediate plans--this seemed a serious flaw in his magical education.””
