Memorable Monologue: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

"There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making. However, for those select few... who possess, the predisposition... I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death."

~ Alan Rickman as Professor Severus Snape in Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001)
