Terry PratchettHe helped the Librarian up. There was a red glow in the ape's eyes. It had tried to steal his books. This was probably the best proof any wizard could require that the trolleys were brainless.
About This Quote
From the Harry Potter series. Harry and his friends come across a new creature that is not quite like anything they've seen before. They call this new creature a Librarian. It looks like a shrewd old lady that used to be human but now it's obviously some sort of magical monster.The Librarian is also not very intelligent and it was purely by accident that Harry and his friends found out about the Librarian one afternoon while trying to get the books out of the library after they had been locked up overnight.The Librarian has all of Harry's and his friends' favorite books and loves to read them over and over again, which causes Harry and his friends to get bored with their own favorite books and decide to leave the Librarian for another time, but then they discover that the Librarian has been stealing their favorite books.The last section of this quote can be interpreted as a warning or as an answer to those who might want to steal from Harry's or Ron's or Hermione's or Neville's or even Ginny's library.
