We love us some Harry Potter. And as much as we enjoy returning to the stories of the Wizarding World over and over through the books and movies, the Harry Potter series stays in our hearts for the lessons it has taught us about the world. HP gave us some catchphrases on love, morality, learning and more, but the wonderful works of J.K. Rowling also provided us much-needed guidance in our professional lives. Here are some of our favorite Harry Potter quotes that will give you the push you need to achieve your career goals.
