He’s damnably handsome. Brave in battle, smart as a whip. An excellent dancer, oh, and an even better shot.

Harry Potter + Locations : The Ministry of Magic 

The door of the telephone box sprang open and Mr. Weasley stepped out of it, followed by Harry, whose mouth had fallen open. 

They were standing at one end of a very long and splendid hall with a highly polished, dark wood floor. The peacock-blue ceiling was inlaid with gleaming golden symbols that were continually moving and changing like some enormous heavenly notice board. The walls on each side were paneled in shiny dark wood and had many gilded fireplaces set into them. Every few seconds a witch or wizard would emerge from one of the left-hand fireplaces with a soft whoosh; on the right-hand side, short queues of wizards were forming before each fireplace, waiting to depart.

If I had had someone that looked like me that I could relate to when I was growing up, I would have had so much more confidence, I think. I would’ve felt so much more heard, and seen, and understood.
