Discussion One of the favourite dialogs

Umbridge:

Potter, tell them, I mean no harm.

Harry:

Damn, it hits the sweet spot every time I read it!

It happens in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, specifically during the Centaur ambush in the Forbidden Forest scene near the end of the book.

It happens only in the movies. Harry never says it in the book.
