“My mind,” he said, “rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram, or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere.

“It was a weird feeling. We all knew it was gonna happen…but it just always seemed such a far away thing, really. It was quite emotional, really. Partly it was kind of seeing Dan cry, I think. I’ve never seen him cry, I don’t think. We’re not really used seeing each other cry at all, really.”
- Rupert Grint (When Harry Left Hogwarts)
