Quote by J.K. Rowling

Facing this stuff, in real life is not like school, in school, if you make a mistake you can just try again tomorrow, but out there...when your a second away from being murdered or watching a friend die right before your eyes...you don't know what that's like.

Facing this stuff, in real life is not like school, in schoo

Summary

This quote highlights the contrasting experiences of facing difficult situations in school versus real life. In school, making mistakes is often seen as part of the learning process with the opportunity to try again. However, in the real world, particularly in life-threatening situations, the consequences are much more immediate and severe. The quote emphasizes that the intense emotions and the fear experienced in these real-life situations are incomparable to what one may encounter in an academic setting.
