“You need to mean them, Potter. You need to really want to cause pain — to enjoy it — righteous anger won't hurt me for long — I'll show you how it is done, shall I? I'll give you a lesson...”

“Well, [bad] times like that bring out the best in some people and the worst in others.”

“And don’t forget: Elvendork! It’s unisex!”

- James Potter, “Harry Potter: The (lost) Prequel”, J.K. Rowling

Now, now - I know that is a particular choice of quote but I found James very theatrical and I think this one suits him well.
