10 Harry Potter Quotes To Propose With

Harry Potter has played such a huge rule in our lives. We were right there with Harry and co. for all the important moments, and they of course have always been there for us in turn. And what moment is bigger than when you propose?

As every true Harry Potter fan knows, the books are about so much more than wizarding school. They're very much about the strength and power of love, about the deep bonds that form between people, and about the magic that exists when people come together. After all, it's love that protects Harry from Voldemort again and again. Love is the strongest magic there is.

In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Slughorn introduces the sixth years to love potions. To Hermione, the potion smells like parchment, freshly cut grass, and Ron, while Harry is reminded simultaneously of treacle tart, the woody smell of a broomstick handle, and something flowery he thought he might have smelled at the Burrow. That's how proposals should be brewed, too: as combinations of all the things you've loved about your time with your significant other.

So naturally, as you're preparing to spend the rest of your life with someone, Harry Potter has plenty to draw from. From the purely swoon-worthy parts to the insightful teachings, J.K. Rowling has got a handle on what makes love so lovely.
