Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter (even though I should), nor do I own "On the Nature of Daylight" (it was composed by Max Richter), and I do not own "This Bitter Earth" (which is sung by Dinah Washington). The quotes that are taken directly from the books are italicized and nestled between quotation marks.
