‘I certainly didn’t authorise this, Professor!’ said Percy, puffing himself up indignantly.

Chapter Thirteen, Gryffindor versus Ravenclaw, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban


Prefect Percy isn’t known as the most humorous of Hogwarts students (a role that his twin brothers were only too keen to undertake), but it appears he still managed to amuse us all in his own way in the Harry Potter stories.

Last week we asked you for your favourite Percy quotes from the first three books, Weatherby him or about him. These are some of our favourites:


‘Oh, are you a Prefect, Percy?’ said one of the twins, with an air of great surprise. ‘You should have said something, we had no idea.’
‘Hang on, I think I remember him saying something about it,’ said the other twin. ‘Once –’
‘Or twice –’

‘A minute –’

‘All summer –’

‘Oh, shut up,’ said Percy the Prefect.

‘Is he – a bit mad?’ he asked Percy uncertainly.

‘Mad?’ said Percy airily. ‘He’s a genius! Best wizard in the world!
But he is a bit mad, yes. Potatoes, Harry?’

‘How’re we getting to King’s Cross tomorrow, Dad?’ asked Fred, as they tucked into a sumptuous chocolate pudding.
‘The Ministry’s providing a couple of cars,’ said Mr Weasley. Everyone looked up at him.
‘Why?’ said Percy curiously.
‘It’s because of you, Perce,’ said George seriously. ‘And there’ll be little flags on the bonnets, with HB on them –’

‘– for Humungous Bighead,’ said Fred.

 ‘Let me through, please,’ came Percy’s voice, and he came bustling importantly through the crowd. ‘What’s the hold-up here? You can’t all have forgotten the password – excuse me, I’m Head Boy –’

‘Harry – make sure you win,’ said Percy, in an urgent whisper. ‘I haven’t got ten Galleons. Yes, I’m coming, Penny!’ And he bustled off to join her in a piece of toast.
