harry potter 5

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows by J.K. Rowling

You still don't get it Riddle, do you? possessing the wand isn't enough! Holding it, using it, doesn't make it really yours. Didn't you listen to Ollivander? The wand chooses the wizard... The Elder Wand recognized a new master before Dumbledore died, someone who never even laid a hand on it. The new master removed the wand from Dumbledore against his will, never realizing exactly what he had done, or that the world's most dangerous wand had given him allegiance...

I couldn't have a whole section on Harry Potter and leave out the climatic last battle between Harry and Voldemort. Personally, I don't think there's a much better feeling than putting fear in an overconfident opponent like Harry did to Voldemort in this quote. It was the only time in all seven books that I noticed that Voldemort had lost his nerves, not his anger. You could tell that the confidence Voldemort had was taken away completely and at that point you knew that Harry was going to kill Voldemort.
