The best Quotes by Rufus Scrimgeour

You may wear that scar like a crown, Potter, but it is not up to a seventeen-year-old boy to tell me how to do my job!

These are dark times, there is no denying. Our world has, perhaps, faced no greater threat than it does today. But I say this to our citizenry - we, ever your servants, will continue to defend your liberty and repel the forces that seek to take it from you. Your ministry remains strong.

Dumbledore's man through and through, aren't you, Potter?

People believe you are the Chosen One, you see. They think you quite the hero - which, of course, you are, Harry, chosen or not!

Percy and I were in the vicinity - working, you know - and he couldn't resist dropping in and seeing you all.

Scrimgeour: "It's time you learned some respect!"
Harry: "It's time you earned it."

The Ministry has fallen. The Minister of Magic is dead. They are coming.

You seem cleverer than Fudge, so I'd have thought you'd have learned from his mistakes. He tried interfering at Hogwarts. You might have noticed he's not Minister any more, but Dumbledore's still Headmaster.

"But for heaven's sake - you're wizards! You can do magic! Surely you can sort out - well - anything!"
Scrimgeour turned slowly on the spot and exchanged an incredulous look with Fudge, who really did manage a smile this time as he said kindly, "The trouble is, the other side can do magic too, Prime Minister."

I don't remember you rushing to my defence when I was trying to tell everyone Voldemort was back. The Ministry wasn't so keen to be pals last year.

"Are you planning to follow a career in Magical Law, Miss Granger?" asked Scrimgeour.
"No, I’m not," retorted Hermione. "I'm hoping to do some good in the world!"

"Please, come in, sit down, Minister!" fluttered Mrs. Weasley, straightening her hat. "Have a little purkey, or some tooding."
