"I deliver perfection..." "and don't brag about it!" ":" "D" "One plumber said, "Look at all that water"." "The second plumber said, "Yes, and that's just the top of it"." "Mr. Mason." "Vernon tells me that you're a wonderful golfer." "I play occasionally." "Mrs. Mason." "Where do you get your beautiful suits?" "All of my suits are tailor-made." "Dudley." "Wasn't there something you wanted to say?" " Pudding." " Pudding?" "What pudding?" "I'm so sorry." "It's my nephew." "He's very disturbed." "Meeting strangers upsets him." "That's why I kept him upstairs." "Well, we have ice cream." "There we go." "Now, all we need to do is find the Hogwarts Express." "Ron, are you sure you know how to fly this?" "No problem." "Look out!" "Don't touch anything, Draco." "Yes, Father." "Mr. Malfoy, what a pleasure to see you again." "And young Master Malfoy too." "Delighted." "I must show you, just in today, and very reasonably priced..." " I'm not buying today, Borgin." "I'm selling." " Selling?" "Draco." "You're aware, no doubt, that the Ministry of Magic is conducting more raids on private houses." "There's even rumors of a new Muggle Protection Act." "Pure wizard blood is counting for less everywhere, I'm afraid." "Not with me." "Anyway, I brought a few items from home that might prove embarrassing were the Ministry to call." "Poisons and the like." "Look at this." "That particular item is not for sale." "I understand." "It has unique qualities." "One wouldn't want to see it falling into the wrong hands." "You can keep the box." "What did I say?" " Touch nothing." " Exactly." "Sorry, Father." "Come on." "We're going." "It's a pleasure to do business with you, Mr. Malfoy." "Always a pleasure." "Mr. Filch, you dropped this." " Looking for something?" " No, I..." "I'm just in the wrong place." "Sorry." "Thank you." "Hi, Harry." "Hi, Harry." "I'm Colin Creevey." "I'm in Gryffindor too." " Hi, Colin, nice to meet you." " Say, do you think your friend here could take a photo of me and you standing together?" "You know, to prove I've met you." "It's for my dad." "He's a milkman, you know." "A Muggle, like all our family's been until me." "No one knew all the stuff I could do was magic till we got our Hogwarts letter." "Everyone just thought I was mental." "Imagine that." "I see you've all bought a complete set of my books." "Well done." "Now, I thought we'd start today with a little quiz." "Nothing to worry about." "Just to check how well you've read them." "Thank you." "How much you've taken in." "Look at these questions." "They're all about him." ""What is Gilderoy Lockhart's favorite color?"" ""What is Gilderoy Lockhart's greatest achievement to date?"" "You have 30 minutes." "Start now." "Hardly any of you remembered that my favorite color is lilac." "But Miss Hermione Granger knew that my secret ambition is to rid the world of evil and market my own range of hair-care potions." "Good girl." "Thanks." "That Lockhart's something, isn't he?" "Awfully brave chap." " Justin Finch-Fletchley." "Hufflepuff." " Nice to meet you." "I'm..." "I know who you are." "We all do." "Even us Muggle-borns." "Let me introduce my assistant, Professor Snape." "Hey, look, everyone." "It's the Heir of Slytherin." "Be careful." "He's a seriously evil wizard." "Come on, Harry." "Fred and George were just having a laugh." "They're the only ones." "So half the school thinks you nip off to the Chamber of Secrets every night." "Who cares?" "Maybe they're right." "Harry." "Harry." " Come on." " I didn't know I can speak Parseltongue." "What else don't I know about myself?" "Look maybe you can do something even something horrible, and not know you did it." "You don't believe that, Harry." "I know you don't." "And if it makes you feel any better, Malfoy's staying for the holidays too." "Why would that make anyone feel any better?" "Because in a few days the Polyjuice Potion will be ready." "In a few days, we may truly know who is the Heir of Slytherin." " Hello, Harry." "You all right?" " Hagrid, what are you doing here?" "Second one killed this term." "I reckon it's either a fox or a Blood-Sucking Bugbear." "I've been up at Dumbledore's getting permission to put a little charm around the old hencoop." "You sure you're all right?" "You look awful hot and bothered." "It's nothing." "Look, I better get going." "I've got a lot of studying to..." "Exactly." "Exactly." "Now the whole school's gonna think you're his great-great-great grandson." "But I'm not." "I can't be." "He lived a thousand years ago." "For all we know, you could be." "Who am I, Hedwig?" "What am I?" "So anyway, I told Justin to hide up in our dormitory." "I mean to say, if Potter's marked him down as his next victim it's best he keeps a low profile for a while." "But why would he want to attack Justin?" "Well, Justin let it slip to Potter that he was Muggle-born." "And you definitely think Potter's the Heir of Slytherin?" "Hannah, he's a Parselmouth." "Everyone knows that's the mark of a Dark wizard." "Have you ever heard of a decent one who could talk to snakes?" "They called Slytherin himself Serpent-tongue." "Harry always seems so nice, though." "And, after all, he is the one who made You-Know-Who disappear." "That's probably why You-Know-Who wanted to kill him in the first place." "Didn't want another Dark Lord competing with him." "There's something moving over there." "Listen." " It sounds like something big." " Big?" "Harry." "Harry, it's our car." "It must have been here all the time." "And, look, the forest has turned it wild." "Come on." "We don't want to lose the trail." "There's a name in this diary." "Tom Marvolo Riddle." "Tom Marvolo Riddle?" "Hang on." "I know that name." "Why do I know that name?" "Of course." "That night I had detention." "My job was to polish the silver in the trophy room." "I remember because I kept burping up slugs over Tom Riddle's trophy." " What was the trophy for?" " He won an award. 50 years ago." "Special services to the school or something." " 50 years ago." "Are you sure?" " Yeah." "Why?" "Don't you remember what Malfoy told you?" "The last time the Chamber was opened was..." "Fifty years ago." "But that means..." "Tom Riddle was here at Hogwarts when it happened." "What if he wrote about what he saw?" "It's possible he knew where the Chamber was how to open it, even what sort of creature lives in it." "If so, whoever's behind these attacks wouldn't want this diary lying around would they?" "That's a brilliant theory, Hermione, but there's just one flaw." "There's nothing written in this diary." "Do you mind?" "Ron." "Ron, wake up." "What happened?" "It was Hagrid." "Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago." "Well, did you get the hairs?" " What are those?" " Slytherin robes." "I had to sneak them from the laundry." "Are we going to drink that?" "We'll have exactly one hour before we change back into ourselves." "Ready?" "I deliver perfection..." "and don't brag about it!" ":" "D" "To bring a story like "Harry Potter" from the page to the screen the starting point is your original novel, written by you, J.K. Rowling." "The script is based on that novel, but it is written by the screenwriter Steve Kloves." "How did you work together to produce the final script?" "Because it must be very, very different writing a book as compared to writing a film." "Yeah, I mean, you know, I just steal her best stuff." "That's basically it." "And I don't sue." "What's always been great about Jo is that, from the beginning she gave me tremendous elbow room." "But when you're in the middle of a series like this it's important that I talk to Jo along the way and ask her..." "Beyond advice on certain sequences, but just, "Am I on the right path?"" "Jo's maddening in the sense she will not tell me what's going to happen but say if I'm on the wrong path." " I've given you more than anyone else which I shouldn't say, or they'll kidnap and torture him." "We need him." "But I've told Steve probably more than I've told anyone else because he needs to know." "It's annoying of me when he says, "Should we cut that?" or, "I wanted to do this" and I say, "No, because in book 6, something will happen and you'll need that in, or that will contradict something that happens" and I can feel him on the end of the e-mail, saying, "Tell me why"." "So I have told him things, but he's good at guessing." "He's guessed more shrewdly than anyone else, I think." "How frustrating is it for you, working in the dark with some of these issues, Steve?" "It's frustrating because you like to know..." "When you're writing a character you like to know where they're going." "I'd tell you if you were dying." " That's nice to know." " You don't need to know at the moment." "I am dying, hopefully it's just gonna take a while." "I think..." "It's frustrating just that..." "Again, it comes down to the details, and the magic of those details." "You know, just reading the books is such a wonderful experience." "There are so many rich details in the books." "Can you tell us how you decide what goes in and what stays out?" "I will sometimes ask Jo." "I will say, "This detail you seem to have cast a bit more light on this in this scene than other details"." "Sometimes I'm wrong, but often she'll say, "No, that's going to play out"." "There's one thing in "Chamber" that Jo indicated will play later in the series." "The hardest thing for me is I'm writing a story to which I do not know the end." "I'm not gonna lie to you, that's been the case sometimes in my own originals." " I was gonna say." " I assume I will find an end." "With this, I'm writing a story over a decade, in a sense." "I keep waiting, keep hoping that Jo will slip up and actually tell me something." "In this movie, we've seen the kids develop from the first film." "Can you tell us about the relationship between Harry, Ron and Hermione and how that is developing film by film?" "Well, I think it is developing in the films as it does in the books which is to say that they're much stronger together than apart." "They're much more aware, in the second film, of their particular strengths." "So they're more effective." "The children are able to do more complex things." "For example, the Polyjuice Potion." "And also, Chris, in the second film has kind of foreshadowed what I don't do until the fourth book which is that you get hints of certain feelings between the three of them that belong to a sort of slightly more mature person." " Steve?" " I think you're seeing in "Chamber" that magic's becoming a bit second nature to them." "At least simple magic is." "That, basically, a little bit of knowledge will get you into a lot of trouble." "I think that's what we're seeing in the second one." "They're getting more mature, but they're still..." "It's a dangerous kind of knowledge." "How do you feel about what the kids were like in this movie?" "The first thing you notice when you watch the movie is that Harry and Ron's voices have dropped two octaves, which is bizarre." "They're not these cute moppet-heads running around." "Children will grow." "Steve, Hermione is a character who you've said is one of your favorites." "Does that make her easier to write?" "I like writing all three, but I've always loved writing Hermione." "Because I just..." "She's a tremendous character for a lot of reasons for a writer." "She can carry exposition in a wonderful way because you just assume she read it in a book." " Lf I need to tell the audience..." " Right, I find that all the time." "If you need to tell your readers something there are only two characters you can put it convincingly into their dialogue." "One is Hermione, the other's Dumbledore." "In both cases, you accept it's plausible that they have..." "Dumbledore knows everything, but that Hermione has read it somewhere." " So she's handy." " Yeah, she's really handy." "She's also just, I think, tremendously entertaining." "There's something about her fierce intellect coupled with a complete lack of understanding of how she affects people that I just find charming and irresistible to write." " Does Dumbledore speak for you?" " Yes." "Dumbledore often speaks for me." "How do you see Dumbledore, Steve?" "Dumbledore is a fascinating character, because I think he obviously imparts great wisdom that comes from experience but I've always felt that Dumbledore bears such a tremendous dark burden and he knows secrets." "He bears the weight of the future of the wizard world, which is being challenged." "The only way that he can keep that at bay, the darkness is to be whimsical and humorous." "I think it's a really interesting thing." "He's a character of so many layers." "When he does say something, that "it is our choices and not our abilities" it just feels like an absolute truth." "It goes down easy, and I like that about him." "That's what I like about the books." "I've always thought that Jo's writing is deceptively profound which is that you never feel there are messages in there." "There's a lot of things being dealt with in a very clever way and they're never pretentious, the books." "I think it's why kids love reading them." "You say that you don't set out to put particular messages in each book but do you think it's important to have the right messages when they emerge?" "Obviously it, in the wizard world, passes for racism." "That's deeply entrenched in the whole plot, you know." "There's this issue going on about the bad side advocating a kind of genocide to exterminate what they see as these "half-blood" people." "So that was obviously very conscious, but other messages do grow organically." "But I've never set out to teach anyone anything." "It's been more of an expression of my views and feelings than sitting down and deciding, "What is today's message?"" "I do think..." "Although I never sat down consciously and thought about this..." "I do think, judging even from my daughter that children respond much better to that than to "thought for the day"." "What was the most important difference in doing the story for "Chamber of Secrets" as opposed to the first film?" "We had more contact on the first film, but we needed more contact on it because we were establishing a relationship that's lasted two years and is gonna last hopefully longer, so that was really about getting to know what we needed from each other." "So it's a good sign that we had less contact on "Chamber", because I think there's a lot of trust there." "I was very prickly when I met Steve because I knew they'd chosen this American guy." "Even though he wrote and directed one of my favorite films  "Fabulous Baker Boys", I still thought, "Well, you know, he's American"." "I was most worried about meeting Steve." "He was the writer." "He was going to be ripping apart my baby." "It turns out I really like him, so that worked." "How do you communicate?" "How does all that work?" "And how often?" " Varies to what we're doing at the time." " Owls." "Owls mainly, obviously, bit of Floo powder." "How does this film differ from the first?" "I think it was..." "It is, I think we would both say, an easier book to transfer into a film, isn't it?" "The first one is episodic." "You have individual adventures." "It changes more." "When we were working on the script to "Philosopher's Stone", that came up a lot that you have these sort of discrete adventures." "And "Chamber" is a more linear structure so it was easier to translate to screen, I think, wasn't it?" " I thought it was gonna be easier..." " Than it actually turned out to be." "You do have that Tom Riddle moment where Tom explains it all and that's always challenging in a movie." "Also, what makes "Chamber" interesting is that things are occurring that you don't really quite understand until Tom explains them at the end so you've got to work toward that moment and hope you hold the audience." "There's no question, it had more of a sort of..." "It just had more of a tight plot to sort of play out." "What were the biggest challenges for you in this film?" "The challenge is keeping it from being four hours, because I like everything." "What I honestly think is magical about what Jo does is the details." "And so my first drafts are always chock-full of details." "The things I respond to sometimes are hard to put in proportion." "I was really interested in the whole Mudblood thread." "That became an interesting emotional thing for me to write in the script." "I don't know that it's still there in the way that I saw it entirely." "You want to give some of those things weight in some way so that becomes the challenge." "But it's mainly compression." "Jo, were there any bits of "Chamber of Secrets" that didn't reflect the way that you originally saw it in your mind?" "It's interesting what Steve says about the Mudblood theme, because I agree but there's always pressure of time and space with a film." "That is a stronger theme in the book." "And yet it is present in the film, but for me when I look back on that book, that's the time in the overall series where the issue of pure-blood becomes very important." "So maybe more weight to that." " What stands out most in this film?" " It was scary." "I've always thought people underestimate how scary the book is." "In fact, it's the book I've got the most complaints about, bizarrely." "Possibly because people got upset at "Chamber" and didn't read the rest, so..." "That's certainly translated to the screen." "Couple of really frightening moments." "The visual effects are a huge part of bringing the magic to life." "In this film, we have Dobby, the pixies, Fawkes, the basilisk." " What do you make of the effects?" " Dobby's wonderful." "Dobby's really good, and the Mandrakes, superb." "I love the Mandrakes." "Is that a big challenge for you, Steve, getting those scenes right?" "It's easy, because I just write and dream it, and then someone else has to do it." "I'm amazed when you see something like the Mandrakes which is essentially puppetry." "Which part of "Chamber of Secrets" were you most excited to see on-screen?" "I was most worried about the spiders because you see these old sci-fi movies where you have giant spiders." "They're always hysterically funny, never scary." "It's easy to write a scene like that in a novel and make it scary but when I started thinking about how we were going to see that..." "It is extremely frightening, the most frightening large spiders I've ever seen." "I had the same concern." "As I wrote, I was thinking, "How are we going to do this?"" "You've got Aragog saying, "Who goes there?" basically." "You know, this giant spider." "You're saying, "This is just gonna be hysterical"." " I'm laughing as I'm writing it." " We've had that problem a lot." "One thing you learn about movies is the thing you're most worried about often is not a problem." "And the thing you don't worry about is a disaster." "So..." "I've found that all..." "It's funny, you're talking about the scares in the movie." "I know the thing that terrified my son the most in the first movie was opening the book, and the book screaming." "I think it was something he could identify with." "He could take a book, open it, and there might be a face in there, screaming." " He wasn't scared by the other things." " But I think I write..." "Those are the sort of details I write, because that would scare me." "I read all the time, and just to open something and have it shriek at me..." "One thing I thought was well done in the film, "Chamber of Secrets", was the diary." "Now, the diary to me is a very scary object, a really frightening object." "This manipulative little book, the temptation, particularly for a young girl to pour out her heart to a diary, which I was never prone to, but my sister was." "The power of something that answers you back." "At the time that I wrote that, I'd never been in an Internet chat room but I've since thought it's very similar typing your deepest thoughts into the ether and getting answers back, and you don't know who's answering." "That was always a scary image to me in the book and I thought it worked well in the film." "You could understand, when he started writing to see these things coming back to him, the power of that." " That secret friend in your pocket." " I loved that in the book." "I thought that was great that someone's writing back to you that you don't know who they are." "There's something inherently ominous in that, but the fact that they know..." "They know the secret you want to know, and they're inviting you." "It's like a finger beckoning you, but into the past." "I always thought that was an incredibly interesting concept." "How different has it been working on the script for the next movie "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban"?" "Well, we've just started." "I mean, I honestly think it's gone as well as any of the others." "And I think it's..." "I mean, personally, I feel it's gonna be the best movie." "Yeah, I think so too." "We're at a better place than we've ever been on the script and we're months from starting shooting so I think it's the best place we've been." " I think 3 could really be interesting." " Yeah." "I agree." "Where does 3 stand in your list of favorites, book-wise?" "I know it's very corny to say, but it's like choosing between your children." "It really is." "But I have a very soft spot for 3, because of a couple of the characters who crop up there for the first time:" "Lupin and Black." "Obviously very important characters." "I'm really fond of them." "So far, you've had two very successful collaborations on "Harry Potter"." "What are your hopes for the future of the "Harry Potter" series?" "I hope Steve keeps writing the scripts, because I'm used to him now, you know." "Just keep being faithful to the books." "From my point of view, I'm bound to say that, aren't I?" "J.K. Rowling and Steve Kloves, author and scriptwriter." "We're looking forward to the results of your future collaborations." " Thank you very much." " Thank you." "I deliver perfection..." "and don't brag about it!" ":" "D" "Building a scene as magnificent as Dumbledore's office  or the many other amazing locations at Hogwarts  takes more than wood, nails, plaster and paint." "It takes imagination." "How do you create a world that's never been seen?" "Filmmaking is a collaborative medium so you make sure you have the best people working for you." "That's the first thing." "For me there is no real procedure about how you get an idea or where you take it from." "Often I find myself staring at a blank sheet of paper." "It starts with a script, which acts as a blueprint for the imagination." "Working with the director, the production designer  conjures up the look of the story  and works with the many artisans to create the world of "Harry Potter"." "In the case of Dumbledore I think, initially, it was a blank sheet of paper, but then it occurred to me..." "The brief was, "This is the boss"." "You know?" "This is the big man." "He has the best office." "It is meant to be located inside a tower." "That was something that was discussed, and it was reflected in the architecture." "For Dumbledore's office Stuart and I talked about it briefly, then he met with the concept artist and then the drawings were brought to me." "I looked at them and said, "That's perfect"." "For a man of Dumbledore's stature, this is the kind of office he should have." "We presented it to some people who said:" ""We can't afford that." "You'll never be able to make that."" "Stuart and I said, "It's Dumbledore's office." "He needs to have this staggering office"." "Admittedly, this is a big-budget film, but even so every film, however big the budget, has its constraints." "The dreams are always more expensive than the purse will allow." "So after a lot of help from our producers in terms of securing the funds to build the office, we were able to begin work on Dumbledore's office." "I think, at our busiest, we were probably about 250 construction people with various specialties:" "Carpenters, riggers, plasterers, painters." "So all of those skills come together." "They take the drawings." "The carpenters literally build the structure of the set." "The plasterers come along and put the skin on it the skin being this gypsum chalk-plaster finish." "The bit you actually photograph is what the painters do." "So it's a kind of relay race, really." "All those skills come in one after the other." "The set decorations consist of the furniture  such as the paintings, desks, bookcases  and even the telescope found in Dumbledore's office." "In the case of Dumbledore's office, there are script requirements." "The outer room, there have to be portraits of previous headmasters and they're all sleeping and snoring." "And so the first room had to be these portraits, which were all commissioned." "Obviously, you can't go out and rent portraits of wizards sleeping." "I mean, they do not exist." "So a team of four or five artists painted wizard portraits." "Dumbledore is interested in all things celestial, in astronomy in scientific instruments." "And so he has the most extraordinary telescope." "We thought it was important to have that particular telescope in Dumbledore's office, because we may use it on a third film." "So we looked at ancient astronomical instruments and built, with drawings, sketches, this bizarre piece of machinery." "Our goal with it always is fantasy, yes but we wanted to root everything in a reality." "We do not want things to be purely fantastical." " Good morning, everyone." " Good morning, Professor Sprout." "The greenhouse was a chance to sort of show another side of Hogwarts." "So the greenhouse had to feel like it's existed hundreds of years." "And it had to feel like a very earthy, natural place." "The origin of the set was, probably for cost reasons as much as anything to go to a real greenhouse if we could." "The best greenhouses in this country are in Kew Gardens." "The day came that we were to scout." "Anybody who's lived in London probably knows that the air traffic is a problem." "We stepped out of the bus, we'd been there for three minutes and it was apparent that this was never gonna work as a film location." "So we came back here." "You know, it's the same concept actually but suddenly the Kew Gardens greenhouse was something we also built." "Part full-size, part perspective and part scenic painting." "Just flat two-dimensional scenic painting." "Today we're going to re-pot Mandrakes." "The script calls for numerous things to fill the bookcases, desks  and other furnishings the set decorator has sourced." "Some objects are antiques." "Some are brand-new." "It's up to a group of talented people from the props department  to find, construct and place all of these elements." "Stephenie McMillan is the set decorator and is therefore largely responsible for color and for texture." "In Dumbledore's office, the idea was that he was interested in astronomy so we really went for that." "And there were astrolabes and orreries in his office." "In a film like this, where magic grows out of seemingly ordinary things the chances are you pretty much have to make special props." "Okay, come on." "The Burrows, to me I felt that it's got to be filled with sort of magical, whimsical inventions." "Your sons flew that enchanted car of yours to Surrey and back last night." "Did you really?" "How did it go?" "This house is jammed full of things collected, things seen, things found." "A thousand different things." "I'm sure a thousand is an underestimate, actually." "And the shopping for that took place over many, many months." "Stephenie and her team would go to auctions." "And then some of the very special ones, the special clocks were made by our prop-making department." "The frying pan and the knitting needles we thought would be fun to do." "So we actually put quite a lot of time and effort into building knitting needles that knitted on their own." "In fact, one of our crew spent a long time coercing his mother into doing lots of knitting for us so he could video it and see how the knitting needles should operate." "It's not much, but it's home." "I think it's brilliant." "You go onto these sets, you see them for the first time and they're completely dressed." "These are places you could actually go in and live." "You could actually read the books, use the instruments sleep on the sofas, because they are so comfortable." "It's an incredible experience to walk onto these sets because you believe they're real." "Well, sit down." "Before shooting begins, the visual effects are thoroughly planned." "The effects often combine film footage with computer-generated images." "Creatures such as Fawkes, however  are partly constructed for placement in the scenes as they are filmed." "With "Harry Potter", all the concepts come about through meetings between the director, art department, John Richardson in special effects myself, primarily to work out who's gonna do which bits." "Who is it?" "With Aragog, we sat down in meetings at the very beginning." "Everyone is going, "Aragog has to be CG." "He's enormous, he can't be done for real."" "And so, sort of like a fool, I went, "Excuse me." "I think we can build that"." "It's scary when you've built something that has taken that long and it's that complex, and the scene is centered around this character." "If it didn't work, they were going to CG it." "When they did the rough cut, they decided they don't need to CG him at all." "Chris Columbus did turn to me and said:" ""Well, you did say you could do that"." "And I said, "Yes, but it doesn't stop me from being completely surprised"." "Fawkes?" "The phoenix, it's a very complex creature to start with and feathering is very different from hair or anything else because you're working with real feathers and it's very difficult to duplicate that." "I worked closely with the visual effects supervisors so that the guys who are actually modeling the feathers of the phoenix in the computer can come see our phoenix and we can talk to them." "And they can go, "That's lovely but that'll give us a nightmare"." "So you offer something else." "That kind of thing goes on all the time." "Amazing!" "This is just like magic!" "The cinematographer's job is not only filming the scene, but lighting it as well." "Lighting is important because it can make a scene feel safe." "Or scary." "Chris said, "I'd like you to see the first film, and we'd like to go darker"." "Roger and I set out..." "At the beginning, Hogwarts is a place that is magical and glowing but as the events at Hogwarts take a darker and more serious and quite terrifying turn, the film gets darker." "And the magical glow starts to go away." "I think dark is a mood." "How you achieve it might not entail less light but it's just allowing the corners of the hall or the staircase to just go off into nothing." "Kill." "When we get into Dumbledore's office the second time in the film everything is resolved, so it's a much happier, warmer place." "Set and action." "Bee in your bonnet, Potter?" "The first time, we talked about it being a much more mysterious place because Harry is at a point in the film where he is questioning who he is." "You see, I was wondering if you put me in the right house." "He's questioning." "Could he potentially be the rightful Heir of Slytherin?" "Could he be doing something evil without his knowledge?" "Set." "Action." "We had a Steadicam operator on this film who was absolutely superb." "He could move unlike anything I'd ever seen before." "That liberated me as a director because I was able to stand next to him and take his shoulders at some point and turn him this and that way." "Know any spells?" "You actually become an active part of filmmaking because you're in there." "In a sense, it was similar to the basilisk in the walls of Hogwarts which is constantly moving and slithering around." "We wanted that snakelike quality in the camera movement this time." "Let me kill you." "Kill!" "Kill!" "Working with the script, the costume designer  uses the story as inspiration for their designs  always being mindful that the wardrobe complements the set." "Then hair and make-up are designed  to best visually express the personality of each character." "As a school treat all exams have been canceled." "I think Dumbledore is one of those characters who had to proceed the way he had already gone." "Shall we?" "Dumbledore is difficult with all that hair." "It's uncomfortable, especially with how he used to sit on it." "So you'd always have to be there to lift it so he could sit." "Where have you been?" "Morning, Weasleys." "Mr. And Mrs. Weasley's costumes are some of my favorite costumes I've ever done." "It was a big design exercise, really, doing them because we knew a lot about them from the books." "And we know a lot about where they live from the books." "And then Stuart Craig and I kind of discussed ever such a lot about their home life." "And we knew all about her knitting, how she loves knitting so I think we just went on a wool and tweed adventure." "I imagine that Mrs. Weasley has crocheted and knitted and pulled together all these things herself." "Lockhart's character, it was very difficult, because in the script it tells you that he wears lilac and pink and pale blue and all these sort of colors." "And, really, within the color scheme of the "Harry Potter" film, that doesn't work." "It would look vulgar and rather like an end-of-the-pier sort of look." "Can everybody see me?" "Can you all hear me?" "Lockhart has the most smashing smile." "And Ken's teeth weren't perfect, so we had teeth made." "So when he smiles, they're absolutely perfect top and bottom." "White, dead straight." "Lucius Malfoy." "We tried lots of things for Mr. Malfoy, and that was a tricky one." "One of the worst things for a hairdresser is putting a blond wig on dark hair." "We bleached his eyebrows but it took away that strength of character of his face." "It detracted." "So we went with the dark eyebrows and the light hair." "Mark my words, Potter." "One day soon you are going to meet the same sticky end." "Once a scene has been shot, the editor is needed to piece the film together." "Then, sound effects and music add the finishing touches." "Every day, the film comes to me from the shoot the day before." "I cut all of those pictures together." " What a night." "Nine raids." "Nine!" " Raids?" "Dad works in the Ministry of Magic, in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office." "And show that to the director, where he and I massage it into the final story." "What I do is, I tell a story in pictures." "Diagon Alley." "And the effects editor, he does the same thing, but with effects." "He enhances the movie." "If there's a door closing he changes that to a much bigger door, perhaps." "Or he can change the sound of a car." "So everybody's sort of making this baby grow and adding pieces, their own pieces, to the final contribution." "John Williams and I will go through the film and talk about specific places that I'd like music to start and end." "No one ever comes in here." " Why?" " Moaning Myrtle." "Who?" "Moaning Myrtle." " Who's Moaning Myrtle?" " I'm Moaning Myrtle." "Composing an orchestra score for a film is a labor-intensive process." "Both films are completely scored from one end to another." "We all recognize..." "If we can see these films without music then see them with it, we realize that some aspect of the nourishing blood of what makes a film work comes from the music." "Harry, it's Hermione." "Harry, it's Hermione." "Actually, I think I spend more time thinking about that melodic material than film scores." "And when successful, it's a great reward." "Certainly for me, personally and hopefully for those people who take the music away and want to play it or learn it or hear it over again." "It's the work of many talented people  that make the magic finally come to life on film." "Now, let's take a peek at the final results." "Professor Dumbledore?" "There is sufficient evidence to have you both expelled." "So the Sorting Hat was right." "I should be in Slytherin." "Bee in your bonnet, Potter?" "Very well, then." "Off you go." "I deliver perfection..." "and don't brag about it!" ":" "D" "I can't let you out, Hedwig." "I'm not allowed to use magic outside of school." " Besides, if Uncle Vernon..." " Harry Potter!" "Now you've done it." "He's in there." "Vernon?" "I'm warning you, if you can't control that bloody bird, it'll have to go." "But she's bored." "If I could only let her out for an hour or two." "So you can send secret messages to your freaky little friends?" "No, sir." "But I haven't had any messages from any of my friends." "Not one all summer." "Who would want to be friends with you?" "I should think you'd be a little more grateful." "We've raised you since you were a baby, given you the food off our table even let you have Dudley's second bedroom purely out of the goodness of our hearts." "Not now." "It's for when the Masons arrive." "Which should be any minute." "Now, let's go over our schedule once again, shall we?" "Petunia, when the Masons arrive, you will be...?" "In the lounge, waiting to welcome them graciously to our home." " Good." "And, Dudley, you will be...?" " I'll be waiting to open the door." "Excellent." "And you?" "I'll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending that I don't exist." "Too right, you will." "With any luck, this could be the day I make the biggest deal of my career and you will not mess it up." "Harry Potter, such an honor it is." " Who are you?" " Dobby, sir." "Dobby the house-elf." "Not to be rude or anything but this isn't a great time for me to have a house-elf in my bedroom." "Yes, sir." "Dobby understands." "It's just that Dobby has come to tell you..." "It is difficult, sir." "Dobby wonders where to begin." " Why don't you sit down?" " Sit down?" "Sit down?" "Dobby, I'm sorry." "I didn't mean to offend you or anything." "Offend Dobby?" "Dobby has heard of your greatness, sir but never has he been asked to sit down by a wizard, like an equal." "You can't have met many decent wizards then." "No, I haven't." "That was an awful thing to say." " Bad Dobby!" "Bad Dobby!" " Stop, Dobby." "Dobby, shush." "Dobby, please, stop." "Don't mind that." "It's just the cat." " Bad Dobby." " Stop!" "Stop, Dobby." "Please, be quiet." "Are you all right?" "Dobby had to punish himself, sir." "Dobby almost spoke ill of his family, sir." " Your family?" " The wizard family Dobby serves, sir." "Dobby is bound to serve one family forever." "If they ever knew Dobby was here..." "But Dobby had to come." "Dobby has to protect Harry Potter." "To warn him." "Harry Potter must not go back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year." "There is a plot, a plot to make most terrible things happen." "What terrible things?" "Who's plotting them?" "Can't say." " Okay, I understand." "You can't say." " Don't make me talk." "L..." " Dobby." "Dobby, put the lamp down." " Bad Dobby." "So when they arrive at the ninth hole..." "Give me the lamp." "Dobby, stop!" " Let me go." " Get in there and keep quiet." " What the devil are you doing up here?" " I was just..." "You just ruined the punch line of my Japanese golfer joke." "Sorry." "One more sound and you'll wish you'd never been born, boy." " And fix that door." " Yes, sir." "See why I've got to go back?" "I don't belong here." "I belong in your world, at Hogwarts." " It's the only place I've got friends." " Friends who don't write to Harry Potter?" "Well, I expect they've been..." "Hang on." "How do you know my friends haven't been writing to me?" "Harry Potter mustn't be angry with Dobby." "Dobby hoped if Harry Potter thought his friends had forgotten him Harry Potter might not want to go back to school, sir." " Give me those." "Now." " No!" "Dobby, get back here." "Dobby, please, no." "Harry Potter must say he's not going back to school." "I can't." "Hogwarts is my home." "Then Dobby must do it, sir, for Harry Potter's own good." "It spread as far as the eye could see, all over the floor of this building." "One plumber said, "Look at all that water"." "The second plumber said, "Yes, and that's just the top of it"." "I'm so sorry." "It's my nephew." "He's very disturbed." "Meeting strangers upsets him." "That's why I kept him upstairs." "You're never going back to that school." "You're never going to see those freaky friends of yours again." "Never!" "Hiya, Harry." "Ron." "Fred." "George." "What are you all doing here?" "Rescuing you, of course." "Now, come on, get your trunk." "You better stand back." "Let's go." " What was that?" " What was it?" "Potter!" "Dad, what's going on?" "Go." "Go." "Go." "Dad, hurry up." " Come on." " Come on, Harry, hurry up." "Petunia, he's escaping!" " I've got you, Harry." " Come here!" " Let go of me!" " No, boy!" "You and that bloody pigeon aren't going anywhere." " Get off!" " Drive!" " Right." " Right!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "No!" "Dad!" "Damn." "By the way, Harry, happy birthday." "Come on." "Okay, come on." "Okay, come on." " Think it'd be all right if we had some?" " Yeah, Mum will never know." "It's not much, but it's home." "I think it's brilliant." "Where have you been?" "Harry, how wonderful to see you, dear." "Beds empty." "No note." "Car gone." "You could have died." "You could have been seen." "Of course, I don't blame you, Harry, dear." "They were starving him, Mum." "There were bars on his window." "Well, you best hope I don't put bars on your window, Ronald Weasley." "Come on, Harry, time for a spot of breakfast." "Here we are, Harry." "Now, tuck in." "That's it." "There we go." " Mummy, have you seen my jumper?" " Yes, dear, it was on the cat." "Hello." "What did I do?" "Ginny." "She's been talking about you all summer." "A bit annoying, really." " Morning, Weasleys." " Morning, Dad." " What a night." "Nine raids." "Nine!" " Raids?" "Dad works in the Ministry of Magic, in the Misuse of Muggle Artifacts Office." "Dad loves Muggles, thinks they're fascinating." "Well, now." "And who are you?" "Sorry, sir." "I'm Harry, sir." "Harry Potter." "Good Lord." "Are you really?" "Well, Ron has told us all about you, of course." "When did he get here?" "This morning." "Your sons flew that enchanted car of yours to Surrey and back last night." "Did you really?" "How did it go?" "I mean..." "That was very wrong indeed, boys." "Very wrong of you." "Now, Harry, you must know all about Muggles." "Tell me, what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?" "Well, that'll be Errol with the post." "Fetch it, will you, Percy, please?" " Errol." " He's always doing that." "Look, it's our Hogwarts letters." "They've sent us Harry's as well." "Dumbledore must know you're here." "Doesn't miss a trick, that man." " No." " This lot won't come cheap." " The spell books alone are expensive." " We'll manage." "There's only one place we're going to get all of this." "Diagon Alley." "Right." "Here we are, Harry." "You go first, dear." "But Harry's never traveled by Floo powder before, Mum." "Floo powder?" "You go first, Ron, so that Harry can see how it's done." "Yes." "In you go." "That's it." "Diagon Alley." "You see?" "It's quite easy, dear." "Don't be afraid." "Come on." "Come on." "In you go." "That's it." "Mind your head." "That's right." "Now, take your Floo powder." "That's it, very good." "Now, don't forget to speak very, very clearly." "Diagonally." " What did he say, dear?" " Diagonally." "I thought he did." " Not lost, are you, my dear?" " I'm fine, thank you." "I was just going..." "Come with us." "We'll help you find your way back." " No." "Please..." " Harry?" "Hagrid!" "What do you think you're doing down here?" "Come on." "You're a mess, Harry." "Skulking around Knockturn Alley?" "Dodgy place." "Don't want no one to see you there." "People will think you're up to no good." "I was lost, I..." "Hang on." "What were you doing down there then?" "Me?" "I was..." "I was looking for Flesh-Eating Slug Repellent." "They're ruining all the school cabbages." "Harry." "Hagrid." "Hello, Hermione." " It's so good to see you." " It's great to see you too." "What did you do to your glasses?" "Oculus Reparo." "I definitely need to remember that one." "You'll be all right now then, Harry?" "Right." "I'll leave you to it." " Okay, bye." " Thank you." "Bye." "Come on, everyone's been so worried." "Harry." "Thank goodness." "We'd hoped you'd only gone one grate too far." "Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Gilderoy Lockhart." "Here he is." "Mum fancies him." "Make way there, please." "Let me by, madam." "Thank you." "Excuse me, little girl." "This is for the "Daily Prophet"." "It can't be." "Harry Potter?" "Harry Potter!" "Excuse me, madam." "Nice big smile, Harry." "Together, you and I rate the front page." "Ladies and gentlemen, what an extraordinary moment this is." "When young Harry stepped into Flourish and Blotts this morning to purchase my autobiography, "Magical Me" which, incidentally, is currently celebrating its 27th week atop the "Daily Prophet" bestseller list he had no idea that he would, in fact, be leaving with my entire collected works free of charge." "Now, ladies?" "Harry, now you give me those, and I'll get them signed." "All of you wait outside." "That's it." "I'll bet you loved that, didn't you, Potter?" "Famous Harry Potter." "Can't go into a bookshop without making the front page." "Leave him alone." "Look, Potter." "You've got yourself a girlfriend." "Now, now, Draco, play nicely." "Mr. Potter." "Lucius Malfoy." "We meet at last." "Forgive me." "Your scar is legend." "As, of course, is the wizard who gave it to you." "Voldemort killed my parents." "He was nothing more than a murderer." "You must be very brave to mention his name." "Or very foolish." "Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself." "And you must be Miss Granger." "Yes, Draco has told me all about you." "And your parents." "Muggles, aren't they?" "Let me see." "Red hair, vacant expressions tatty, secondhand book." "You must be the Weasleys." "It's mad in here." "Let's go outside." " Well, well, well." "Weasley senior." " Lucius." "Busy time at the Ministry, Arthur, all those extra raids?" "I do hope they're paying you overtime but judging by the state of this, I'd say not." "What's the use in being a disgrace to the name of wizard if they don't even pay you well for it?" "We have a very different idea about what disgraces the name of wizard, Malfoy." "Clearly." "Associating with Muggles." "And I thought your family could sink no lower." "I'll see you at work." "See you at school." " 10:58, come on." " The train will be leaving any moment." "Fred, George, Percy, you first." "Okay." "After you, dear." "Come on, Ginny, we'll get you a seat." "Hurry." "Let's go." " What do you two think you're doing?" " Sorry." "Lost control of the trolley." " Why can't we get through?" " I don't know." "The gateway has sealed itself for some reason." "The train leaves at exactly 11:00." "We've missed it." "Harry, if we can't get through maybe Mum and Dad can't get back." "Maybe we should just go and wait by the car." "The car." "Ron, I should tell you most Muggles aren't accustomed to seeing a flying car." "Right." "Okay." "Oh, no!" "The Invisibility Booster must be faulty." "Come on, then." "Let's go lower." "We need to find the train." "Okay." "All we need to do is catch up with the train." "We can't be far behind." " Do you hear that?" " We must be getting close." "Hold on." "Harry!" "Hold on!" "Take my hand!" "Hold on!" "I'm trying." "Your hand's all sweaty." " I think we found the train." " Yeah." "Welcome home." "Up!" "Up!" "It's not working!" "Up!" "Ron, mind that tree!" "Stop!" "Stop!" "Stop!" " My wand." "Look at my wand." " Be thankful it's not your neck." " What's happening?" " I don't know." "Come on, go!" "Fast!" "Scabbers, you're okay." "The car!" "Dad's gonna kill me." "See you, Hedwig." "So a house-elf shows up in my bedroom we can't get through the barrier to platform 9 3/4 we almost get killed by a tree..." "Clearly someone doesn't want me here this year." "Well, take a good look, lads." "This night might well be the last you spend in this castle." "Oh, dear, we are in trouble." "You were seen by no less than seven Muggles." "Do you have any idea how serious this is?" "You have risked the exposure of our world." "Not to mention the damage you inflicted on a Whomping Willow that's been on these grounds since before you were born." "Honestly, Professor Snape, I think it did more damage to us." "Silence." "I assure you that were you in Slytherin, and your fate rested with me the both of you would be on the train home tonight." " As it is..." " They are not." "Professor Dumbledore." "Professor McGonagall." "Headmaster these boys have flouted the Decree for the Restriction of Underage Wizardry." " As such..." " I am well aware of our bylaws having written quite a few of them myself." "However, as head of Gryffindor house it is for Professor McGonagall to determine the appropriate action." "We'll go and get our stuff, then." "What are you talking about, Mr. Weasley?" "You're going to expel us, aren't you?" "Not today, Mr. Weasley but I must impress on both of you the seriousness of what you have done." "I will be writing to your families tonight, and you will both receive detention." "Morning, everyone." " Good morning, everyone." " Good morning, Professor Sprout." "Welcome to Greenhouse Three, second years." "Gather around, everyone." "Today we're going to re-pot Mandrakes." "Who here can tell me the properties of the Mandrake root?" "Yes, Miss Granger?" "Mandrake, or Mandragora is used to return those who have been Petrified to their original state." "It's also dangerous." "The Mandrake's cry is fatal to anyone who hears it." "Excellent." "Ten points to Gryffindor." "As our Mandrakes are still only seedlings their cries won't kill you yet." "But they could knock you out for hours, which is why I have given you earmuffs for auditory protection." "So could you please put them on, right away?" "Quickly." "Flaps tight down, and watch me closely." "You grasp your Mandrake firmly." "You pull it sharply up out of the pot." "Got it?" "And now you dunk it down into the other pot and pour a little sprinkling of soil to keep him warm." "Longbottom's been neglecting his earmuffs." " No, ma'am, he's just fainted." " Yes, well, just leave him there." "Right, on we go." "Plenty of pots to go around." "Grasp your Mandrake and pull it up." " There's Nearly Headless Nick." " Hello, Percy, Miss Clearwater." "Hello, Sir Nicholas." "Say it." "I'm doomed." " You're doomed." " Hi, Harry." "I'm Colin Creevey." "I'm in Gryffindor too." "Hi, Colin." "Nice to meet you." "Ron, is that your owl?" "Bloody bird's a menace." "Oh, no." "Look, everyone." "Weasley's got himself a Howler." "Go on, Ron." "I ignored one from my gran once." "It was horrible." "Ronald Weasley!" "How dare you steal that car!" "I am absolutely disgusted!" "Your father's now facing an inquiry at work  and it's entirely your fault!" "If you put another toe out of line  we'll bring you straight home!" "And, Ginny, dear, congratulations on making Gryffindor." "Your father and I are so proud." "Let me introduce you to your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." "Me." "Gilderoy Lockhart Order of Merlin, Third Class honorary member of the Dark Force Defense League and five times winner of "Witch Weekly"'s Most-Charming-Smile Award." "But I don't talk about that." "I didn't get rid of the Bandon Banshee by smiling at him." "Now, be warned." "It is my job to arm you against the foulest creatures known to wizardkind." "You may find yourselves facing your worst fears in this room." "Know only that no harm can befall you whilst I am here." "I must ask you not to scream." "It might provoke them." "Cornish pixies?" "Freshly caught Cornish pixies." "Laugh if you will, Mr. Finnegan but pixies can be devilishly tricky little blighters." "Let's see what you make of them." "Come on now, round them up." "They're only pixies." " You just stay there!" " Please, get me down!" " Get off me!" " Stop." "Hold still!" "Peskipiksi Pesternomi!" "I'll ask you three to just nip the rest of them back into their cage." "What do we do now?" "Immobulus!" "Why is it always me?" "I spent the summer devising a whole new Quidditch program." "We're gonna train earlier, harder and longer." "What...?" "I don't believe it." " Where you think you're going, Flint?" " Quidditch practice." " I booked the pitch for Gryffindor today." " Easy, Wood." "I've got a note." "I smell trouble." ""I, Professor Severus Snape, do hereby give the Slytherin team permission to practice today, owing to the need to train their new Seeker."" "You've got a new Seeker." "Who?" " Malfoy?" " That's right." "And that's not all that's new this year." "Those are Nimbus 2001 s." "How did you get those?" "A gift from Draco's father." "You see, Weasley, unlike some, my father can afford the best." "At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in." "They got in on pure talent." "No one asked your opinion, you filthy little Mudblood." "You'll pay for that one, Malfoy." "Eat slugs!" "You okay, Ron?" "Say something." " Wow!" "Can you turn him around, Harry?" " No, Colin, get out of the way." "Let's take him to Hagrid's." "He'll know what to do." "This calls for a specialist's equipment." "Nothing to do but wait till it stops, I'm afraid." " Okay." " Better out than in." " Who was Ron trying to curse, anyway?" " Malfoy." "He called Hermione..." "Well, I don't know exactly what it means." "He called me a Mudblood." " He did not." " What's a Mudblood?" "It means "dirty blood"." "Mudblood's a foul name for someone who's Muggle-born." "Someone with non-magic parents." "Someone like me." "It's not a term one usually hears in civilized conversation." "See, the thing is, Harry, there are some wizards, like the Malfoy family who think they're better than everyone else because they're pure-blood." "That's horrible." "It's disgusting." "And it's codswallop to boot." "Dirty blood." "Why, there isn't a wizard alive today that's not half-blood or less." "More to the point, they've yet to think of a spell that our Hermione can't do." "Come here." "Don't you think on it, Hermione." "Don't you think on it for one minute." "Harry, Harry, Harry." "Can you possibly imagine a better way to serve detention than by helping me to answer my fan mail?" "Not really." "Fame is a fickle friend, Harry." "Celebrity is as celebrity does." "Remember that." "Come. ... to me." " What?" " Sorry?" "That voice." "Voice?" " Didn't you hear it?" " What are you talking about, Harry?" "I think you're getting a bit drowsy." "And great Scott, no wonder." "Look at the time." "We've been here nearly four hours." "Spooky how the time flies when one is having fun." "Spooky." "Blood." "I smell blood." "Let me rip you." "Let me kill you." "Kill!" "Kill!" " Kill!" " Harry!" " Did you hear it?" " Hear what?" " That voice." " Voice?" "What voice?" "I heard it first in Lockhart's office." "And then again just..." "It's time." "It's moving." "I think it's going to kill." " Kill?" " Harry, wait!" "Not so fast!" "Strange." " I've never seen spiders act like that." " I don't like spiders." "What's that?" ""The Chamber of Secrets has been opened." "Enemies of the Heir, beware."" "It's written in blood." "Oh, no." "It's Filch's cat." "It's Mrs. Norris." ""Enemies of the Heir, beware."" "You'll be next, Mudbloods." "What's going on here?" "Go on." "Make way, make way." "Potter?" "What are you...?" "Mrs. Norris?" " You've murdered my cat." " No." "No." "I'll kill you." " I'll kill you!" " Argus!" "Argus, I..." "Everyone will proceed to their dormitories immediately." "Everyone except you three." "Ravenclaws, follow me." "She's not dead, Argus." "She has been Petrified." "Thought so." "So unlucky I wasn't there." "I know exactly the countercurse that could've spared her." "But how she has been Petrified, I cannot say." "Ask him." "It's him that's done it." "You saw what he wrote on the wall." "It's not true, sir." "I swear." "I never touched Mrs. Norris." " Rubbish." " If I might, headmaster?" "Perhaps Potter and his friends were just in the wrong place at the wrong time." "However the circumstances are suspicious." "I'm afraid that's my doing, Severus." "You see, Harry was helping me answer my fan mail." "That's why Ron and I went looking for him, professor." "We'd just found him when he said..." " Yes, Miss Granger?" " When I said I wasn't hungry." "We were heading back to the common room when we found Mrs. Norris." " Innocent until proven guilty, Severus." " My cat has been Petrified." " I want to see some punishment!" " We will be able to cure her, Argus." "As I understand it, Madam Sprout has a very healthy growth of Mandrake." "When matured, a potion will be made which will revive Mrs. Norris." "And in the meantime I strongly recommend caution to all." " It's a bit strange, isn't it?" " Strange?" "You hear this voice, a voice only you can hear and then Mrs. Norris turns up Petrified." "It's just strange." "Do you think I should have told them?" "Dumbledore and the others, I mean?" "Are you mad?" "No, Harry." "Even in the wizarding world, hearing voices isn't a good sign." "She's right, you know." "Could I have your attention, please?" "Right." "Now, today, we will be transforming animals into water goblets." "Like so." "One, two, three." "Vera Verto." "Now it's your turn." "Who would like to go first?" "Mr. Weasley." "One, two, three." "Vera Verto." "Vera Verto!" "That wand needs replacing, Mr. Weasley." " Yes, Miss Granger?" " Professor I was wondering if you could tell us about the Chamber of Secrets." "Very well." "You all know, of course that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age:" "Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff Rowena Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin." "Now, three of the founders coexisted quite harmoniously." " One did not." " Three guesses who." "Salazar Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts." "He believed magical learning should be kept within all-magic families." "In other words, pure-bloods." "Unable to sway the others, he decided to leave the school." "Now, according to legend Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in this castle known as the Chamber of Secrets." "Though, shortly before departing, he sealed it until that time when his own true Heir returned to the school." "The Heir alone would be able to open the Chamber and unleash the horror within, and by so doing purge the school of all those who in Slytherin's view, were unworthy to study magic." "Muggle-borns." "Naturally, the school has been searched many times." "No such chamber has been found." "Professor?" "What exactly does legend tell us lies within the Chamber?" "The Chamber is said to be home to something that only the Heir of Slytherin can control." "It is said to be the home of a monster." "Do you think it's true?" "Do you think there really is a Chamber of Secrets?" "Yes." "Couldn't you tell?" "McGonagall's worried." "All the teachers are." "If there really is a Chamber of Secrets, and it has been opened, that means..." "The Heir of Slytherin has returned to Hogwarts." "The question is, who is it?" "Let's think." "Who do we know who thinks all Muggle-borns are scum?" " If you're talking about Malfoy..." " Of course." "You heard him." ""You'll be next, Mudbloods."" "I heard him." "But Malfoy, the Heir of Slytherin?" "Maybe Ron's right, Hermione." "I mean, look at his family." "The whole lot of them have been in Slytherin for centuries." "Crabbe and Goyle must know." "Maybe we could trick them into telling." "Even they aren't that thick." "But there might be another way." "Mind you, it would be difficult." "Not to mention we'd be breaking about 50 school rules and it'll be dangerous." "Very dangerous." "Here it is." "The Polyjuice Potion." ""Properly brewed, the Polyjuice Potion allows the drinker to transform himself temporarily into the physical form of another."" "You mean if Harry and I drink that stuff, we'll turn into Crabbe and Goyle?" " Wicked!" "Malfoy will tell us anything." " Exactly." "But it's tricky." "I've never seen a more complicated potion." " How long will it take to make?" " A month." "A month?" "But, Hermione, if Malfoy is the Heir of Slytherin he could attack half the Muggle-borns in the school by then." "I know." "But it's the only plan we've got." "Another goal for Slytherin!" "They lead Gryffindor 90 to 30." "Yeah!" "Yeah!" "All right there, Scarhead?" "Watch yourself, Harry!" "Wood, look out!" "Blimey!" "Harry's got himself a rogue Bludger." "That's been tampered with, that has." "I'll stop it." "No!" "Even with a proper wand, it's too risky." "You could hit Harry." "Training for the ballet, Potter?" "You'll never catch me, Potter." "Let's go." "Harry Potter has caught the Snitch." "Gryffindor wins!" "Finite Incantatem!" " Thank you." " Are you okay?" "No." "I think my arm is broken." "Not to worry, Harry." "I will fix that arm of yours straightaway." " Not you." " Boy doesn't know what he's saying." "This won't hurt a bit." "Brackium Emendo!" "Yes, well, that can sometimes happen but the point is you can no longer feel any pain, and, very clearly, the bones are not broken." "Broken?" "There's no bones left." "Much more flexible, though." "Mr. Malfoy, stop making such a fuss." "You can go." "Out of my way." "Should have been brought straight to me." "I can mend bones in a heartbeat, but growing them back..." "You will be able to, won't you?" "I'll be able to, certainly." "But it'll be painful." "You're in for a rough night, Potter." "Regrowing bones is a nasty business." "What do you expect?" "Pumpkin juice?" "Kill." "Kill." "Time to kill." "Hello." "Dobby?" "Harry Potter should have listened to Dobby." "Harry Potter should have gone back home when he missed the train." "It was you." "You stopped the barrier from letting Ron and me through." "Indeed." "Yes, sir." " You nearly got Ron and me expelled." " At least you would be away from here." "Harry Potter must go home." "Dobby thought his Bludger would be enough to make Harry Potter see..." "Your Bludger?" "You made that Bludger chase after me?" "Dobby feels most aggrieved, sir." "Dobby had to iron his hands." "You better clear off before my bones come back, or I might strangle you." "Dobby is used to death threats, sir." "Dobby gets them five times a day at home." "I don't suppose you could tell me why you're trying to kill me?" "Not kill you, sir." "Never kill you." "Dobby remembers how it was before Harry Potter triumphed over He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named." "We house-elves were treated like vermin, sir." "Of course, Dobby is still treated like vermin." "Why do you wear that thing, Dobby?" "This, sir?" "It is a mark of the house-elf's enslavement." "Dobby can only be freed if his master presents him with clothes." "Listen." "Listen!" "Terrible things are about to happen at Hogwarts." "Harry Potter must not stay here now that history is to repeat itself." "Repeat itself?" "You mean this has happened before?" "I shouldn't have said that." " Bad Dobby!" "Bad!" " Stop it!" "Stop it, Dobby!" "Tell me." "When did this happen before?" "Who's doing it now?" "Dobby cannot say, sir." "Dobby only wants Harry Potter to be safe." "No, Dobby." "Tell me." "Who is it?" "Put him here." " What happened?" " There's been another attack." "I think he's been Petrified, Madam Pomfrey." "Look." "Perhaps he managed to take a picture of his attacker." "What can this mean, Albus?" "It means that our students are in great danger." " What should I tell the staff?" " The truth." "Tell them Hogwarts is no longer safe." "It is as we feared, Minerva." "The Chamber of Secrets has indeed been opened again." "Again?" "You mean the Chamber of Secrets has been opened before?" "Of course." "Don't you see?" "Lucius Malfoy must have opened it when he was at school here." " Now he's taught Draco how to do it." " Maybe." "We'll have to wait for the Polyjuice Potion to know for sure." "Enlighten me." "Why are we brewing this potion in broad daylight in the middle of the girls' lavatory?" "Don't you think we'll get caught?" "No." "No one ever comes in here." " Why?" " Moaning Myrtle." "Who?" "Moaning Myrtle." " Who's Moaning Myrtle?" " I'm Moaning Myrtle." "I wouldn't expect you to know me." "Who would ever talk about ugly, miserable moping Moaning Myrtle?" "She's a little sensitive." "Gather round!" "Gather round." "Can everybody see me?" "Can you all hear me?" "Excellent." "In light of the dark events of recent weeks Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this Dueling Club to train you all up in case you ever need to defend yourselves as I myself have done on countless occasions." "For full details, see my published works." "Let me introduce my assistant Professor Snape." "He has sportingly agreed to help with a short demonstration." "I don't want any of you youngsters to worry." "You'll still have your Potions master when I'm through with him." "Never fear." "One." "Two." " Three!" " Expelliarmus!" " Do you think he's all right?" " Who cares?" "An excellent idea to show them that, Professor Snape but if you don't mind me saying, it was obvious what you were about to do." "If I had wanted to stop you, it would have been only too easy." "Perhaps it would be prudent to first teach the students to block unfriendly spells, professor." "An excellent suggestion, Professor Snape." "Let's have a volunteer pair." "Potter, Weasley, how about you?" "Weasley's wand causes devastation with the simplest spells." "We'll be sending Potter to the hospital wing in a matchbox." "Might I suggest someone from my own house?" "Malfoy, perhaps?" " Good luck, Potter." " Thank you, sir." "Wands at the ready." " Scared, Potter?" " You wish." "On the count of three cast your charms to disarm your opponent." "Only to disarm." "We don't want any accidents here." "One." " Two." " Everte Statum!" "Rictusempra!" "I said disarm only." "Serpensortia!" "Don't move, Potter." "I'll get rid of it for you." "Allow me, Professor Snape." "Alarte Ascendare!" "Vipera Evanesca." "What are you playing at?" "You're a Parselmouth?" "Why didn't you tell us?" " I'm a what?" " You can talk to snakes." "I know." "I accidentally set a python on my cousin Dudley at the zoo once." "Once." "But so what?" "I bet loads of people here can do it." "No, they can't." "It's not a very common gift, Harry." "This is bad." "What's bad?" "If I hadn't told that snake not to attack Justin..." " That's what you said to it." " You were there." "You heard me." "I heard you speaking Parseltongue." "Snake language." "I spoke a different language?" "But I didn't realize..." "How can I speak a language without knowing I can?" "I don't know, but it sounded like you were egging the snake on or something." "Harry, listen to me." "There's a reason the symbol of Slytherin house is a serpent." "Salazar Slytherin was a Parselmouth." "He could talk to snakes too." "Exactly." "Now the whole school's gonna think you're his great-great-great grandson." "But I'm not." "I can't be." "He lived a thousand years ago." "For all we know, you could be." "I'll see you back in the common room." "I want blood." "They all must die." "Kill." "Kill." "Kill." "Time to kill." "Caught in the act." "I'll have you out this time, Potter." "Mark my words." "No." "Mr. Filch!" "You don't understand..." "Professor I swear I didn't." "This is out of my hands, Potter." "Professor Dumbledore will be waiting for you." "Sherbet Lemon." "Professor Dumbledore?" "Bee in your bonnet, Potter?" "I was just wondering if you put me in the right house." "Yes." "You were particularly difficult to place." "But I stand by what I said last year." "You would have done well in Slytherin." "You're wrong." "Harry?" "Professor." "Your bird..." "There was nothing I could do." " He just caught fire." " And about time too." "He's been looking dreadful for days." "Pity you had to see him on a burning day." "Fawkes is a phoenix, Harry." "They burst into flame when it is time for them to die and then they are reborn from the ashes." "Fascinating creatures, phoenixes." "They can carry immensely heavy loads." "Their tears have healing powers." "Professor Dumbledore, sir!" "Wait!" "Listen!" "Professor Dumbledore, sir, it wasn't Harry." "I'd be prepared to swear it in front of the Ministry of Magic." "Relax." "I do not believe that Harry attacked anyone." " Of course you don't." "Right." "Well, I'll..." " I'll just wait outside, then." " Yes." " You don't think it was me, professor?" " No, Harry." "I do not think it was you." "But I must ask you is there something you wish to tell me?" "No, sir." "Nothing." "Very well, then." "Off you go." "Everything's set." "We just need a bit of who you're changing into." "Crabbe and Goyle." "We also need to make sure that the real Crabbe and Goyle can't burst in on us while we're interrogating Malfoy." " How?" " I've got it all worked out." "I filled these with a simple Sleeping Draught." "Simple, but powerful." "Now, once they're asleep hide them in the broomstick cupboard and pull out a few of their hairs and put on their uniforms." " Whose hair are you ripping out, then?" " I've already got mine." "Millicent Bulstrode." "Slytherin." "I got this off her robes." "I'm going to go check on the Polyjuice Potion." "Make sure that Crabbe and Goyle find these." "Ron, maybe I should do it." "Yeah." "Right." "Wingardium Leviosa." "Cool." "How thick could you get?" "Come on, let's get them." "We'll have exactly one hour before we change back into ourselves." "Add the hairs." "Essence of Crabbe." "Cheers." "I think I'm gonna be sick." "Me too." "Harry?" "Ron." "Bloody hell!" "We still sound like ourselves." "You need to sound more like Crabbe." " Bloody hell." " Excellent." " But where's Hermione?" " I..." "I don't think I'm going." "You go on without me." "Hermione, are you okay?" "Just go." "You're wasting time." "Come on." "I think the Slytherin common room's this way." "Excuse me." "What are you doing d...?" "I mean, what are you doing down here?" "I happen to be a school prefect." "You, on the other hand, have no business wandering the corridors at night." "What are your names again?" " I'm..." " Crabbe, Goyle, where have you been?" "Pigging out in the Great Hall all this time?" "Why are you wearing glasses?" " Reading." " Reading?" "I didn't know you could read." "And what are you doing down here, Weasley?" "Mind your attitude, Malfoy." "Well, sit down." "You'd never know the Weasleys were pure-bloods, the way they behave." "They're an embarrassment to the wizarding world." "All of them." "What's wrong with you, Crabbe?" "Stomachache." "I'm surprised the "Daily Prophet" hasn't done a report on all these attacks." "I suppose Dumbledore is trying to hush it all up." "Father always said Dumbledore was the worst thing that ever happened to this place." " You're wrong!" "What?" "You think there's someone here who's worse than Dumbledore?" "Well?" "Do you?" "Harry Potter?" "Good one, Goyle." "You're absolutely right." "Saint Potter." "And people actually think that he's the Heir of Slytherin?" "But then you must have some idea who's behind it all." "You know I don't, Goyle." "I told you yesterday." "How many times do I have to tell you?" "Is this yours?" "But my father did say this:" "It's been 50 years since the Chamber was opened." "He wouldn't tell me who opened it." "Only that they were expelled." "The last time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, a Mudblood died." "So it's only a matter of time before one of them is killed this time." "As for me I hope it's Granger." "What's the matter with you two?" "You're acting very odd." "It's his stomachache." "Calm down." "Scar." "Hair." "Hey!" "Where are you going?" "That was close." "Hermione, come out." "We've got loads to tell you." "Go away." "Wait till you see." "It's awful." "Hermione?" "Are you okay?" "Do you remember me telling you that the Polyjuice Potion was only for human transformations?" "It was cat hair I plucked off Millicent Bulstrode's robes." "Look at my face." "Look at your tail." "Have you spoken to Hermione?" "She should be out of hospital in a few days when she stops coughing up fur balls." "What's this?" "Yuck!" "Looks like Moaning Myrtle's flooded the bathroom." " Come to throw something else at me?" " Why would I throw something at you?" "Don't ask me." "Here I am, minding my own business and someone thinks it's funny to throw a book at me." "But it can't hurt if someone throws something at you." "I mean, it'll just go right through you." "Sure!" "Let's all throw books at Myrtle because she can't feel it." "Ten points if you get it through her stomach!" "Fifty points if it goes through her head!" " But who threw it at you, anyway?" " I don't know." "I didn't see them." "I was just sitting in the U-bend, thinking about death and it fell through the top of my head." ""Tom Marvolo Riddle."" "My name is Harry Potter." "Do you know anything about the Chamber of Secrets?" "Can you tell me?" "Excuse me." "Could you tell me what's going on here?" "Are you Tom Riddle?" "Hello, can you hear me?" "Riddle!" "Come." "Professor Dumbledore." "Dumbledore?" "It is not wise to be wandering around this late hour, Tom." "Yes, professor." "I suppose I..." "I had to see for myself if the rumors were true." "I'm afraid they are, Tom." "They are true." "About the school as well?" "I don't have a home to go to." "They wouldn't really close Hogwarts, would they, professor?" "I understand, Tom, but I'm afraid Headmaster Dippet may have no choice." "Sir, if it all stopped, if the person responsible was caught..." "Is there something you wish to tell me?" "No, sir." "Nothing." "Very well, then." "Off you go." "Good night, sir." " Let's get you out of there." " Evening, Hagrid." "I'm going to have to turn you in." "I don't think you meant it to kill anyone..." "You can't." "You don't understand." "The dead girl's parents will be here tomorrow." "The least Hogwarts can do is make sure the thing that killed their daughter is slaughtered." "It wasn't him." "Aragog never killed no one." "Never." "Monsters don't make good pets, Hagrid." " Now, stand aside." " No!" " Stand aside, Hagrid." " No!" "Cistem Aperio!" "Arania Exumai!" "Aragog!" "Aragog!" "I can't let you go." "They'll have your wand for this, Hagrid." "You'll be expelled." "Hagrid!" "It was Hagrid." "Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets 50 years ago." "It can't be Hagrid." "It just can't be." "We don't even know this Tom Riddle." "He sounds like a dirty, rotten snitch." "The monster had killed somebody, Ron." "What would any of us have done?" "Look, Hagrid's our friend." "Why don't we just go and ask him about it?" "That would be a cheerful visit." ""Hello, Hagrid." "Tell us, have you been setting anything mad and hairy loose in the castle lately?"" "Mad and hairy?" "You wouldn't be talking about me, now, would you?" "No." "What's that you've got, Hagrid?" "It's Flesh-Eating Slug Repellent." "For the Mandrakes, you know." "Now, according to Professor Sprout, they've still got a bit of growing to do." "But once their acne's cleared up, we'll chop them up and stew them and then we'll get those people down at the hospital un-Petrified." "In the meantime, though, you three had best be looking after yourselves." "All right?" "Hello, Neville." "Harry, I don't know who did it, but you'd better come." "Come on!" "It had to be a Gryffindor." "Nobody else knows our password." "Unless it wasn't a student." "Whoever it was, they must have been looking for something." "And they found it." "Tom Riddle's diary is gone." "All right, listen up." "We play our game, Hufflepuff doesn't stand a chance." "We're stronger, quicker and smarter." "Not to mention they're dead scared that Harry will Petrify them if they fly anywhere near him." " Well, that too." "Professor McGonagall." " This match has been canceled." " We can't cancel Quidditch." "Silence, Wood." "You and your teammates will go to Gryffindor Tower." "Now." "Potter, you and I will find Mr. Weasley." "There's something the both of you have to see." "I warn you." "This could be a wee bit of a shock." "Hermione!" "She was found near the library along with this." "Does it mean anything to either of you?" "No." "Could I have your attention, please?" "Because of recent events, these new rules will be put into effect immediately:" ""All students will return to their house common rooms by 6:00 every evening."" ""All students will be escorted to each lesson by a teacher."" ""No exceptions."" "I should tell you this:" "Unless the culprit behind these attacks is caught it is likely the school will be closed." "We've got to talk to Hagrid, Ron." "I can't believe it's him but if he did set the monster loose last time he'll know how to get inside the Chamber of Secrets." "That's a start." "But you heard McGonagall." "We're not allowed to leave the tower except for class." "I think it's time to get my dad's old cloak out again." "Who's there?" "Hello?" "Hello?" " What's that for?" " Nothing." "I was expecting..." "It doesn't matter." "Come on in." "I just made a pot of tea." "Hagrid, are you okay?" "I'm fine." "I'm all right." "Did you hear about Hermione?" "Yeah." "I heard about that, all right." "Look, we have to ask you something." "Do you know who's opened the Chamber of Secrets?" "What you had to understand about that is..." "Quick, under the cloak." "Don't say a word." "Be quiet, both of you." " Professor Dumbledore, sir." " Good evening, Hagrid." "I wonder, could we...?" "Of course." "Come in." "Come in." "That's Dad's boss." "Cornelius Fudge, Minister of Magic." "Bad business, Hagrid, very bad business." "Had to come." "Three attacks on Muggle-borns." "Things have gone far enough." " The Ministry's got to act." " But I never..." "You know I never, professor." "I want it understood, Cornelius that Hagrid has my full confidence." "Albus, look, Hagrid's record is against him." " I've got to take him." " Take me?" "Take me where?" "Not Azkaban prison." "I'm afraid we have no choice, Hagrid." "Already here, Fudge?" "Good." "What are you doing here?" "Get out of my house!" "Believe me I take absolutely no pleasure being inside your..." "You call this a house?" "No." "I simply called up the school and was told the headmaster was here." "Well, what exactly is it that you want with me?" "The other governors and I have decided it's time for you to step aside." "This is an order of suspension." "You'll find all 12 signatures on it." "I'm afraid we feel you've rather lost your touch." "Well, what, with all these attacks there'll be no Muggle-borns left at Hogwarts." "I can only imagine what an awful loss that would be to the school." "You can't take Professor Dumbledore away." "Take him away and the Muggle-borns won't stand a chance." "You mark my words, there'll be killings next!" "You think so?" "Calm yourself, Hagrid." "If the governors desire my removal I will, of course, step aside." "However you will find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it." "Admirable sentiments." "Shall we?" "Fudge." "Come, Hagrid." "Well?" "If..." "If anybody was looking for some stuff then all they'd have to do would be to follow the spiders." "Yep." "That would lead them right." "That's all I have to say." "And someone will need to feed Fang while I'm away." "Good boy." "Hagrid's right." "With Dumbledore gone, there'll be an attack a day." "Look." "Come on." "Come on, Fang." "Come on." "What?" "You heard what Hagrid said." ""Follow the spiders."" "They're heading to the Dark Forest." "Why spiders?" "Why couldn't it be "follow the butterflies"?" "Harry, I don't like this." " Harry, I don't like this at all." " Shush!" "Can we go back now?" "Come on." "Who is it?" "Don't panic." "Hagrid?" "Is that you?" "We're friends of Hagrid's." "And you?" "You're Aragog, aren't you?" "Yes." "Hagrid has never sent men into our hollow before." "He's in trouble." "Up at the school, there have been attacks." "They think it's Hagrid." "They think he opened the Chamber of Secrets." "Like before." "That's a lie." "Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets." " Then you're not the monster?" " No." "The monster was born in the castle." "I came to Hagrid from a distant land in the pocket of a traveler." "Harry." "But if you're not the monster, then what did kill that girl 50 years ago?" "We do not speak of it." "It is an ancient creature we spiders fear above all others." "But have you seen it?" "I never saw any part of the castle but the box in which Hagrid kept me." "The girl was discovered in a bathroom." "When I was accused, Hagrid brought me here." " Harry!" " What?" "Well, thank you." "We'll just go." "Go?" "I think not." "My sons and daughters do not harm Hagrid on my command." "But I cannot deny them fresh meat when it wanders so willingly into our midst." "Goodbye, friend of Hagrid." "Can we panic now?" "Know any spells?" "One, but it's not powerful enough for all of them." "Where's Hermione when you need her?" "Let's go!" "Arania Exumai!" "Go!" "Glad we're out of there." "Arania Exumai!" " Thanks for that." " Don't mention it." "Get us out of here." "Now!" "Come on!" "Come on, move faster!" "Come on!" "Go!" "Get us in the air." "The flying gear's jammed!" " Come on!" "Pull!" " I'm trying!" "Follow the spiders." "Follow the spiders." "If Hagrid ever gets out of Azkaban, I'll kill him." "I mean, what was the point of sending us in there?" " What have we found out?" " We know one thing." "Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets." "He was innocent." "Wish you were here, Hermione." "We need you." "Now more than ever." " What's that?" " Ron..." "This is why Hermione was in the library the day she was attacked." "Come on." ""Of the many fearsome beasts that roam our land none is more deadly than the basilisk." "Capable of living for hundreds of years instant death awaits any who meet this giant serpent's eye."" ""Spiders flee before it." Ron, this is it." "The monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk." "That's why I can hear it speak." "It's a snake." "But if it kills by looking people in the eye, why is it no one's dead?" "Because no one did look it in the eye." "Not directly, at least." "Colin saw it through his camera." "Justin..." "Justin must have seen the basilisk through Nearly Headless Nick." "Nick got the full blast of it." "But he's a ghost, he couldn't die again." "And Hermione had the mirror." "I bet you she was using it to look around corners in case it came along." "And Mrs. Norris?" "I'm pretty sure she didn't have a camera or a mirror, Harry." "The water." "There was water on the floor that night." "She only saw the basilisk's reflection." ""Spiders flee before it."" " It all fits." " How's a basilisk been getting around?" "A dirty, great snake." "Someone would have seen it." " Hermione's answered that too." " Pipes?" "It's using the plumbing." "Remember what Aragog said about that girl 50 years ago?" "She died in a bathroom?" "What if she never left?" "Moaning Myrtle." "All students are to return to their house dormitories at once." "All teachers to the second-floor corridor immediately." "As you can see, the Heir of Slytherin has left another message." "Our worst fear has been realized." "A student has been taken by the monster into the Chamber itself." "The students must be sent home." "I'm afraid this is the end of Hogwarts." "So sorry." "Dozed off." "What have I missed?" "A girl has been snatched by the monster, Lockhart." "Your moment has come at last." " My moment?" " Weren't you saying just last night that you've known all along where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is?" "That's settled." "We'll leave you to deal with the monster, Gilderoy." " Your skills, after all, are legend." " Very well." "I'll just be in my office getting..." "Getting ready." "Who is it that the monster's taken, Minerva?" "Ginny Weasley." ""Her skeleton will lie in the Chamber forever."" "Ginny." "Lockhart may be useless, but he's going to try and get into the Chamber." "At least we can tell him what we know." "Professor, we have some information for you." "Are you going somewhere?" "Well, yes." "Urgent call." "Unavoidable." "Got to go." " What about my sister?" " Well..." "As to that, most unfortunate." "No one regrets more than I." "You're the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher." "You can't go now." "I must say, when I took the job, there was nothing in the description..." "You're running away?" " After all you did in your books?" " Books can be misleading." " You wrote them." " My dear boy, use your common sense." "My books wouldn't have sold as well if people didn't think I'd done those things." "You're a fraud." "You've been taking credit for what other wizards have done." "Is there anything you can do?" "Yes, now you mention it." "I'm rather gifted with Memory Charms." "Otherwise, all those wizards would have gone blabbing." "I'd never have sold another book." "In fact, I'm going to have to do the same to you." "Don't even think about it." "Who's there?" "Hello, Harry." " What do you want?" " To ask you how you died." "It was dreadful." "It happened right here in this very cubicle." "I'd hidden because Olive Hornby was teasing me about my glasses." "I was crying, and then I heard somebody come in." " Who was it, Myrtle?" " I don't know." "I was distraught!" "But they said something funny, a kind of made-up language." "And I realized it was a boy, so I unlocked the door to tell him to go away and I died." " Just like that?" "How?" "I just remember seeing a pair of great, big, yellow eyes over there by that sink." "This is it." "This is it, Ron." "I think this is the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets." "Say something." "Harry, say something in Parseltongue." "Excellent, Harry." "Good work." "Well, then, I'll just be..." "There's no need for me to stay." "Yes, there is." " You first." " Now, boys, what good will it do?" "Better you than us." "But..." "Obviously, yes." "Sure you don't want to test it first?" "It's really quite filthy down here." " All right." "Let's go." " Oh, Harry?" "If you die down there, you're welcome to share my toilet." "Thanks, Myrtle." "Now, remember:" "Any sign of movement, close your eyes straightaway." "Go on." "This way." " What's this?" " It looks like a snake." " It's a snakeskin." " Bloody hell." "Whatever shed this must be 60 feet long." "Or more." "Heart of a lion, this one." "The adventure ends here, boys." "But don't fret." "The world will know our story." "How I was too late to save the girl." "How you two tragically lost your minds at the sight of her mangled body." "So..." "You first, Mr. Potter." "Say goodbye to your memories." "Obliviate!" " Ron!" "Ron, are you okay?" " I'm fine." "Hello." "Who are you?" " Ron Weasley." " Really?" "And who am I?" "Lockhart's Memory Charm backfired." "He hasn't got a clue who he is." "It's an odd sort of place, isn't it?" "Do you live here?" " No." " Really?" " What do I do now?" " You wait here and try and shift some of this rock so we can get back through." " I'll go on and find Ginny." " Okay." "Ginny!" "Ginny, please don't be dead." "Wake up, wake up." "Please wake up." "She won't wake." "Tom." "Tom Riddle." "What do you mean, she won't wake?" " She's not...?" " She's still alive, but only just." " Are you a ghost?" " A memory preserved in a diary for 50 years." "She's cold as ice." "Ginny, please don't be dead." "Wake up." "You've got to help me, Tom." "There's a basilisk." "It won't come until it's called." " Give me my wand, Tom." " You won't be needing it." " We've got to go." "We've got to save her." " I'm afraid I can't do that." "You see, as poor Ginny grows weaker, I grow stronger." "Yes, Harry, it was Ginny Weasley who opened the Chamber of Secrets." "No." "She couldn't." "She wouldn't." "It was Ginny who set the basilisk on the Mudbloods and Filch's cat Ginny who wrote the threatening messages on the walls." " But why?" " Because I told her to." "You'll find I can be very persuasive." "Not that she knew what she was doing." "She was, shall we say, in a kind of trance." "Still, the power of the diary began to scare her." "She tried to dispose of it in the girls' bathroom." "And then who should find it but you?" "The very person I was most anxious to meet." "And why did you want to meet me?" "I knew I had to talk to you, meet you if I could." "So I decided to show you my capture of that brainless oaf Hagrid to gain your trust." " Hagrid's my friend." " And you framed him, didn't you?" " It was my word against Hagrid's." "Only Dumbledore seemed to think he was innocent." "I'll bet Dumbledore saw right through you." "He certainly kept an annoyingly close watch on me after that." "I knew it wouldn't be safe to open the Chamber again while I was at school so I decided to leave behind a diary preserving my 16-year-old self in its pages so that one day I would be able to lead another to finish Salazar Slytherin's noble work." "Well, you haven't finished it this time." "In a few hours, the Mandrake Draught will be ready." "And everyone who was Petrified will be all right again." "Haven't I told you?" "Killing Mudbloods doesn't matter to me anymore." "For many months now, my new target has been you." "How is it that a baby with no extraordinary magical talent was able to defeat the greatest wizard of all time?" "How did you escape with nothing but a scar while Lord Voldemort's powers were destroyed?" "Why do you care how I escaped?" "Voldemort was after your time." "Voldemort is my past, present and future." "You." "You're the Heir of Slytherin." " You're Voldemort." " Surely you didn't think I was going to keep my filthy Muggle father's name?" "No." "I fashioned myself a new name, a name I knew wizards everywhere would fear to speak when I became the greatest sorcerer in the world." "Albus Dumbledore is the greatest sorcerer in the world." "Dumbledore's been driven out of this castle by the mere memory of me." "He'll never be gone." "Not as long as those who remain are loyal to him." "Fawkes?" "So this is what Dumbledore sends his great defender." "A songbird and an old hat." "Let's match the power of Lord Voldemort, Heir of Salazar Slytherin against the famous Harry Potter." "Parseltongue won't save you now, Potter." "It only obeys me." "No!" "Your bird may have blinded the basilisk, but it can still hear you." "Yes, Potter." "The process is nearly complete." "In a few minutes, Ginny Weasley will be dead, and I will cease to be a memory." "Lord Voldemort will return very much alive." "Ginny?" "Remarkable, isn't it how quickly the venom of the basilisk penetrates the body?" "I'd guess you have little more than a minute to live." "You'll be with your dear Mudblood mother soon, Harry." "Funny, the damage a silly little book can do especially in the hands of a silly little girl." "What are you doing?" "Stop." "No!" "It was me." "But I swear, I didn't mean to." "Riddle made me, and..." "Harry, you're hurt." "Don't worry." "Ginny, you need to get yourself out." "Follow the Chamber and you'll find Ron." "You were brilliant, Fawkes." "I just wasn't quick enough." "Of course." "Phoenix tears have healing powers." "Thanks." "It's all right, Ginny." "It's over." "It's just a memory." "Amazing!" "This is just like magic!" "You both realize, of course that in the past few hours, you have broken perhaps a dozen school rules." "Yes, sir." "There is sufficient evidence to have you both expelled." "Yes, sir." "Therefore, it is only fitting that you both receive Special Awards for Services to the School." "Thanks, sir." "Now, Mr. Weasley, if you would have an owl deliver these release papers to Azkaban." "I believe we want our gamekeeper back." "First, I want to thank you, Harry." "You must have shown me real loyalty down in the Chamber." "Nothing but that could have called Fawkes to you." "And second I sense that something is troubling you." "Am I right, Harry?" "It's just..." "You see, sir, I couldn't help but notice certain things, certain..." "Certain similarities between Tom Riddle and me." "I see." "Well, you can speak Parseltongue, Harry." "Why?" "Because Lord Voldemort can speak Parseltongue." "If I'm not mistaken, Harry he transferred some of his powers to you the night he gave you that scar." "Voldemort transferred some of his powers to me?" "Not intentionally but yes." "So the Sorting Hat was right." "I should be in Slytherin." "It's true." "You possess many of the qualities that Voldemort himself prizes." "Determination, resourcefulness and if I may say so, a certain disregard for the rules." "Why, then, did the Sorting Hat place you in Gryffindor?" " Because I asked it to." " Exactly, Harry." "Exactly." "Which makes you different from Voldemort." "It is not our abilities that show what we truly are." "It is our choices." "If you want proof why you belong in Gryffindor then I suggest you look more closely at this." "Be careful." "Godric Gryffindor." "It would take a true Gryffindor to pull that out of the hat." "Dobby." "So this is your master." "The family you serve is the Malfoys." "I'll deal with you later." "Out of my way, Potter." "So it's true." "You have returned." "When the governors learned that Arthur Weasley's daughter was taken into the Chamber, they saw fit to summon me back." " Ridiculous." " Curiously, Lucius, several of them were under the impression that you would curse their family if they did not agree to suspend me in the first place." " How dare you!" " Beg your pardon?" "My sole concern has always been and will always be the welfare of this school and, of course, its students." "The culprit has been identified, I presume?" "Yes." "And?" "Who was it?" "Voldemort." "Only this time he chose to act through somebody else by means of this." "I see." "Fortunately, our young Mr. Potter discovered it." "One hopes that no more of Lord Voldemort's old school-things should find their way into innocent hands." "The consequences for the one responsible would be severe." "Well, let us hope that Mr. Potter will always be around to save the day." "Don't worry." "I will be." "Dumbledore." "Come, Dobby." "We're leaving." "Sir?" "I wonder if I could have that?" "Mr. Malfoy." "Mr. Malfoy!" "I have something of yours." "Mine?" "I don't know what you're talking about." "I think you do, sir." "I think you slipped the diary into Ginny Weasley's cauldron that day at Diagon Alley." "You do, do you?" "Why don't you prove it?" "Come, Dobby." "Open it." "Dobby." "Master has given Dobby a sock." "What?" "I didn't give..." "Master has presented Dobby with clothes." "Dobby is free." "You lost me my servant!" "You shall not harm Harry Potter." "Your parents were meddlesome fools too." "Mark my words, Potter." "One day soon you are going to meet the same sticky end." "Harry Potter freed Dobby." "How can Dobby ever repay him?" " Just promise me something." " Anything, sir." "Never try to save my life again." " Welcome back, Sir Nicholas." " Thank you." " Good evening, Sir Nicholas." " Good evening." " Good to see you, Sir Nicholas." " Thank you." "Hello." " Hermione!" "Welcome back." " Thanks, Sir Nicholas." "Harry." "It's Hermione." " Welcome back, Hermione." " It's good to be back." "Congratulations." "I can't believe you solved it." "We had loads of help from you." " We couldn't have done it without you." " Thanks." "Could I have your attention, please?" "Before we begin the feast let us have a round of applause for Professor Sprout, Madam Pomfrey whose Mandrake juice has been so successfully administered to all who had been Petrified." "Also, in light of the recent events as a school treat all exams have been canceled." "Oh, no." "Sorry I'm late." "The owl that delivered my release papers got all lost and confused." "Some ruddy bird called Errol." "And I'd just like to say that if it hadn't been for you, Harry and Ron and Hermione, of course I would still be you-know-where so I'd just like to say thanks." "There's no Hogwarts without you, Hagrid." "Subtitles by SDI Media Group"
