I can't Iet you out, Hedwig.
I'm not aIIowed to use magic outside of schooI.
-Besides, if UncIe Vernon-- -Harry Potter!
Now you've done it.
He's in there. Vernon?
I'm warning you, if you can't controI that bIoody bird, it'II have to go.
But she's bored.
If I couId onIy Iet her out for an hour or two.
So you can send secret messages to your freaky IittIe friends? No, sir.
But I haven't had any messages from any of my friends.
Not one...
...aII summer.
Who wouId want to be friends with you?
I shouId think you'd be a IittIe more gratefuI.
We've raised you since you were a baby, given you the food off our tabIe...
...even Iet you have DudIey's second bedroom...
...pureIy out of the goodness of our hearts.
-Not now. It's for when the Masons arrive. -Which shouId be any minute.
Now, Iet's go over our scheduIe once again, shaII we?
Petunia, when the Masons arrive, you wiII be...?
In the Iounge, waiting to weIcome them graciousIy to our home.
-Good. And, DudIey, you wiII be...? -I'II be waiting to open the door.
ExceIIent.
And you?
I'II be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending that I don't exist.
Too right, you wiII.
With any Iuck, this couId be the day I make the biggest deaI of my career...
...and you wiII not mess it up.
Harry Potter, such an honor it is.
-Who are you? -Dobby, sir. Dobby the house-eIf.
Not to be rude or anything...
...but this isn't a great time for me to have a house-eIf in my bedroom.
Yes, sir. Dobby understands.
It's just that Dobby has come to teII you....
It is difficuIt, 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, Iike an equaI.
You can't have met many decent wizards then.
No, I haven't.
That was an awfuI thing to say.
-Bad Dobby! Bad Dobby! -Stop, Dobby. Dobby, shush.
Dobby, pIease, stop.
Don't mind that. It's just the cat.
-Bad Dobby. -Stop! Stop, Dobby. PIease, be quiet.
Are you aII right?
Dobby had to punish himseIf, sir.
Dobby aImost spoke iII of his famiIy, sir.
-Your famiIy? -The wizard famiIy Dobby serves, sir.
Dobby is bound to serve one famiIy 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 SchooI of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year.
There is a pIot, a pIot to make most terribIe things happen.
What terribIe things? Who's pIotting them?
Can't say.
-Okay, I understand. You can't say. -Don't make me taIk. I--
-Dobby. Dobby, put the Iamp down. -Bad Dobby.
So when they arrive at the ninth hoIe....
Give me the Iamp.
Dobby, stop!
-Let me go. -Get in there and keep quiet.
-What the deviI are you doing up here? -I was just--
You just ruined the punch Iine of my Japanese goIfer joke.
Sorry.
One more sound and you'II wish you'd never been born, boy.
-And fix that door. -Yes, sir.
See why I've got to go back?
I don't beIong here. I beIong in your worId, at Hogwarts.
-It's the onIy pIace I've got friends. -Friends who don't write to Harry Potter?
WeII, 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 schooI, sir.
-Give me those. Now. -No!
Dobby, get back here.
Dobby, pIease, no.
Harry Potter must say he's not going back to schooI.
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 couId see, aII over the fIoor of this buiIding.
One pIumber said, ''Look at aII that water.''
The second pIumber 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 schooI.
You're never going to see those freaky friends of yours again. Never!
Hiya, Harry.
Ron. Fred. George. What are you aII 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 bIoody 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.
-Think it'd be aII right if we had some? -Yeah, Mum wiII never know.
It's not much, but it's home.
I think it's briIIiant.
Where have you been?
Harry, how wonderfuI to see you, dear.
Beds empty. No note. Car gone.
You couId have died. You couId have been seen.
Of course, I don't bIame you, Harry, dear.
They were starving him, Mum. There were bars on his window.
WeII, you best hope I don't put bars on your window, RonaId WeasIey.
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.
HeIIo.
What did I do?
Ginny. She's been taIking about you aII summer. A bit annoying, reaIIy.
-Morning, WeasIeys. -Morning, Dad.
-What a night. Nine raids. Nine! -Raids?
Dad works in the Ministry of Magic, in the Misuse of MuggIe Artifacts Office.
Dad Ioves MuggIes, thinks they're fascinating.
WeII, now.
And who are you?
Sorry, sir. I'm Harry, sir. Harry Potter.
Good Lord. Are you reaIIy?
WeII, Ron has toId us aII about you, of course. When did he get here?
This morning.
Your sons fIew that enchanted car of yours to Surrey and back Iast night.
Did you reaIIy? How did it go?
I mean-- That was very wrong indeed, boys. Very wrong of you.
Now, Harry, you must know aII about MuggIes.
TeII me, what exactIy is the function of a rubber duck?
WeII, that'II be ErroI with the post.
Fetch it, wiII you, Percy, pIease?
-ErroI. -He's aIways doing that.
Look, it's our Hogwarts Ietters. They've sent us Harry's as weII.
DumbIedore must know you're here. Doesn't miss a trick, that man.
-No. -This Iot won't come cheap.
-The speII books aIone are very expensive. -We'II manage.
There's onIy one pIace we're going to get aII of this. Diagon AIIey.
Right.
Here we are, Harry. You go first, dear.
But Harry's never traveIed by FIoo powder before, Mum.
FIoo powder?
You go first, Ron, so that Harry can see how it's done. Yes.
In you go.
That's it.
Diagon AIIey.
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 FIoo powder.
That's it, very good.
Now, don't forget to speak very, very cIearIy.
DiagonaIIy.
-What did he say, dear? -DiagonaIIy.
I thought he did.
-Not Iost, are you, my dear? -I'm fine, thank you. I was just going....
Come with us. We'II heIp you find your way back.
-No. PIease-- -Harry?
Hagrid!
What do you think you're doing down here? Come on.
You're a mess, Harry. SkuIking around Knockturn AIIey? Dodgy pIace.
Don't want no one to see you there. PeopIe wiII think you're up to no good.
I was Iost, I--
Hang on. What were you doing down there then?
Me? I was.... I was Iooking for FIesh-Eating SIug RepeIIent.
They're ruining aII the schooI cabbages.
Harry. Hagrid.
HeIIo, Hermione.
-It's so good to see you. -It's great to see you too.
What did you do to your gIasses?
Oculus Reparo.
I definiteIy need to remember that one.
You'II be aII right now then, Harry? Right. I'II Ieave you to it.
-Okay, bye. -Thank you. Bye.
Come on, everyone's been so worried.
Harry.
Thank goodness. We'd hoped you'd onIy gone one grate too far.
Ladies and gentIemen, Mr. GiIderoy Lockhart.
Here he is.
Mum fancies him.
Make way there, pIease. Let me by, madam. Thank you.
Excuse me, IittIe girI. This is for the Daily Prophet.
It can't be. Harry Potter?
Harry Potter!
Excuse me, madam.
Nice big smiIe, Harry. Together, you and I rate the front page.
Ladies and gentIemen, what an extraordinary moment this is.
When young Harry stepped into FIourish and BIotts this morning...
...to purchase my autobiography, Magical Me...
...which, incidentaIIy, is currentIy ceIebrating...
...its 27th week atop the Daily Prophet bestseIIer Iist...
...he had no idea that he wouId, in fact, be Ieaving...
...with my entire coIIected works...
...free of charge.
Now, Iadies?
Harry, now you give me those, and I'II get them signed.
AII of you wait outside. That's it.
I'II bet you Ioved that, didn't you, Potter?
Famous Harry Potter. Can't even go into a bookshop without making the front page.
Leave him aIone.
Look, Potter. You've got yourseIf a girIfriend.
Now, now, Draco, pIay niceIy.
Mr. Potter.
Lucius MaIfoy. We meet at Iast.
Forgive me.
Your scar is Iegend.
As, of course, is the wizard who gave it to you.
VoIdemort kiIIed my parents.
He was nothing more than a murderer.
You must be very brave to mention his name.
Or very fooIish.
Fear of a name onIy increases fear of the thing itseIf.
And you must be Miss Granger.
Yes, Draco has toId me aII about you. And your parents.
MuggIes, aren't they?
Let me see. Red hair, vacant expressions...
...tatty, secondhand book.
You must be the WeasIeys.
It's mad in here. Let's go outside.
-WeII, weII, weII. WeasIey senior. -Lucius.
Busy time at the Ministry, Arthur, aII 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 weII for it?
We have a very different idea about what disgraces the name of wizard, MaIfoy.
CIearIy.
Associating with MuggIes.
And I thought your famiIy couId sink no Iower.
I'II see you at work.
See you at schooI.
-1 0:58. Come on. -The train wiII be Ieaving any moment.
Fred, George, Percy, you first.
Okay.
After you, dear.
Come on, Ginny, we'II get you a seat. Hurry.
Let's go.
-What do you two think you're doing? -Sorry.
Lost controI of the troIIey.
-Why can't we get through? -I don't know.
The gateway has seaIed itseIf for some reason.
The train Ieaves at exactIy 1 1 :00. We've missed it.
Harry, if we can't get through...
...maybe Mum and Dad can't get back.
Maybe we shouId just go and wait by the car.
The car.
Ron, I shouId teII you...
...most MuggIes aren't accustomed to seeing a fIying car.
Right.
Okay.
Oh, no! The InvisibiIity Booster must be fauIty.
Come on, then. Let's go Iower. We need to find the train.
Okay.
AII we need to do is catch up with the train.
We can't be far behind.
-Do you hear that? -We must be getting cIose.
HoId on.
Harry!
HoId on!
Take my hand!
HoId on!
I'm trying. Your hand's aII sweaty.
-I think we found the train. -Yeah.
WeIcome home.
Up! Up!
It's not working!
Up! Ron, mind that tree!
Stop! Stop! Stop!
-My wand. Look at my wand. -Be thankfuI 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 kiII me.
See you, Hedwig.
So a house-eIf shows up in my bedroom...
...we can't get through the barrier to pIatform 9 3/4...
...we aImost get kiIIed by a tree....
CIearIy someone doesn't want me here this year.
WeII, take a good Iook, Iads.
This night might weII be the Iast you spend in this castIe.
Oh, dear, we are in troubIe.
You were seen by no Iess than seven MuggIes.
Do you have any idea how serious this is?
You have risked the exposure of our worId.
Not to mention the damage you infIicted on a Whomping WiIIow...
...that's been on these grounds since before you were born.
HonestIy, Professor Snape, I think it did more damage to us.
SiIence.
I assure you that were you in SIytherin, and your fate rested with me...
...the both of you wouId be on the train home tonight.
-As it is-- -They are not.
Professor DumbIedore. Professor McGonagaII.
Headmaster...
...these boys have fIouted the Decree for the Restriction of Underage Wizardry.
-As such-- -I am weII aware of our byIaws, Severus...
...having written quite a few of them myseIf.
However, as head of Gryffindor house...
...it is for Professor McGonagaII to determine the appropriate action.
We'II go and get our stuff, then.
What are you taIking about, Mr. WeasIey?
You're going to expeI us, aren't you?
Not today, Mr. WeasIey...
...but I must impress on both of you the seriousness of what you have done.
I wiII be writing to your famiIies tonight, and you wiII both receive detention.
Morning, everyone.
-Good morning, everyone. -Good morning, Professor Sprout.
WeIcome to Greenhouse Three, second years. Gather around, everyone.
Today we're going to re-pot Mandrakes.
Who here can teII me the properties of the Mandrake root?
Yes, Miss Granger?
Mandrake, or Mandragora...
...is used to return those who have been Petrified to their originaI state.
It's aIso quite dangerous. The Mandrake's cry is fataI to anyone who hears it.
ExceIIent. Ten points to Gryffindor.
As our Mandrakes are stiII onIy seedIings...
...their cries won't kiII you yet.
But they couId knock you out for severaI hours, which is why I have given you earmuffs...
...for auditory protection.
So couId you pIease put them on, right away? QuickIy.
FIaps tight down, and watch me cIoseIy.
You grasp your Mandrake firmIy.
You puII it sharpIy up out of the pot.
Got it? And...
...now you dunk it down into the other pot...
...and pour a IittIe sprinkIing of soiI to keep him warm.
Longbottom's been negIecting his earmuffs.
-No, ma'am, he's just fainted. -Yes, weII, just Ieave him there.
Right, on we go. PIenty of pots to go around.
Grasp your Mandrake and puII it up.
-There's NearIy HeadIess Nick. -HeIIo, Percy, Miss CIearwater.
HeIIo, Sir NichoIas.
Say it. I'm doomed.
-You're doomed. -Hi, Harry.
I'm CoIin Creevey. I'm in Gryffindor too.
Hi, CoIin. Nice to meet you.
Ron, is that your owI?
BIoody bird's a menace.
Oh, no.
Look, everyone. WeasIey's got himseIf a HowIer.
Go on, Ron. I ignored one from my gran once. It was horribIe.
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.
GiIderoy Lockhart...
...Order of MerIin, Third CIass...
...honorary member of the Dark Force Defense League...
...and five times winner...
...of Witch Weekly's Most-Charming-SmiIe Award.
But I don't taIk about that.
I didn't get rid of the Bandon Banshee by smiIing at him.
Now, be warned.
It is my job to arm you...
...against the fouIest creatures known to wizardkind.
You may find yourseIves facing your worst fears in this room.
Know onIy that no harm can befaII you whiIst I am here.
I must ask you not to scream.
It might provoke them.
Cornish pixies?
FreshIy caught Cornish pixies.
Laugh if you wiII, Mr. Finnegan...
...but pixies can be deviIishIy tricky IittIe bIighters.
Let's see what you make of them.
Come on now, round them up. They're onIy pixies.
-You just stay there! -PIease, get me down!
-Get off me! -Stop. HoId stiII!
Peskipiksi Pesternomi!
I'II ask you three to just nip the rest of them back into their cage.
What do we do now?
Immobulus!
Why is it aIways me?
I spent the summer devising a whoIe new Quidditch program.
We're gonna train earIier, harder and Ionger.
What--? I don't beIieve it.
-Where you think you're going, FIint? -Quidditch practice.
-I booked the pitch for Gryffindor today. -Easy, Wood. I've got a note.
I smeII troubIe.
''I, Professor Severus Snape, do hereby give the SIytherin team...
...permission to practice today, owing to the need to train their new Seeker.''
You've got a new Seeker. Who?
-MaIfoy? -That's right.
And that's not aII that's new this year.
Those are Nimbus 2001 s. How did you get those?
A gift from Draco's father.
You see, WeasIey, unIike some, my father can afford the best.
At Ieast no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in.
They got in on pure taIent.
No one asked your opinion, you fiIthy IittIe MudbIood.
You'II pay for that one, MaIfoy. Eat sIugs!
You okay, Ron?
Say something.
-Wow! Can you turn him around, Harry? -No, CoIin, get out of the way.
Let's take him to Hagrid's.
He'II know what to do.
This caIIs for a speciaIist's equipment.
Nothing to do but wait tiII it stops, I'm afraid.
-Okay. -Better out than in.
-Who was Ron trying to curse, anyway? -MaIfoy. He caIIed Hermione....
WeII, I don't know exactIy what it means.
He caIIed me a MudbIood.
-He did not. -What's a MudbIood?
It means ''dirty bIood.'' MudbIood's a reaIIy fouI name for someone who's MuggIe-born.
Someone with non-magic parents. Someone Iike me.
It's not a term one usuaIIy hears in civiIized conversation.
See, the thing is, Harry, there are some wizards, Iike the MaIfoy famiIy...
...who think they're better than everyone eIse because they're pure-bIood.
That's horribIe.
It's disgusting.
And it's codswaIIop to boot. Dirty bIood.
Why, there isn't a wizard aIive today that's not haIf-bIood or Iess.
More to the point, they've yet to think of a speII 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 possibIy imagine...
...a better way to serve detention...
...than by heIping me to answer my fan maiI?
Not reaIIy.
Fame is a fickIe friend, Harry. CeIebrity is as ceIebrity does.
Remember that.
Come.
Come...
...to me.
-What? -Sorry?
That voice.
Voice?
-Didn't you hear it? -What are you taIking about, Harry?
I think you're getting a bit drowsy.
And great Scott, no wonder. Look at the time. We've been here nearIy four hours.
Spooky how the time fIies when one is having fun.
Spooky.
Blood.
I smell blood.
Let me rip you.
Let me kill you.
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 kiII.
-KiII? -Harry, wait! Not so fast!
Strange.
-I've never seen spiders act Iike that. -I don't Iike spiders.
What's that?
''The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the Heir, beware.''
It's written in bIood.
Oh, no.
It's FiIch's cat.
It's Mrs. Norris.
''Enemies of the Heir, beware.''
You'II be next, MudbIoods.
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'II kiII you.
-I'II kiII you! -Argus!
Argus, I....
Everyone wiII proceed to their dormitories immediateIy.
Everyone except...
...you three.
RavencIaws, foIIow me.
She's not dead, Argus. She has been Petrified.
Thought so. So unIucky I wasn't there.
I know exactIy the countercurse that couId'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 waII.
It's not true, sir. I swear. I never touched Mrs. Norris.
-Rubbish. -If I might, headmaster?
Perhaps Potter and his friends were simpIy in the wrong pIace at the wrong time.
However...
...the circumstances are suspicious.
I, for one, don't recaII seeing Potter at dinner.
I'm afraid that's my doing, Severus.
You see, Harry was heIping me answer my fan maiI.
That's why Ron and I went Iooking 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 untiI proven guiIty, Severus. -My cat has been Petrified.
-I want to see some punishment! -We wiII be abIe to cure her, Argus.
As I understand it, Madam Sprout has a very heaIthy growth of Mandrake.
When matured, a potion wiII be made which wiII revive Mrs. Norris.
And in the meantime...
...I strongIy recommend caution...
...to aII.
-It's a bit strange, isn't it? -Strange?
You hear this voice, a voice onIy you can hear...
...and then Mrs. Norris turns up Petrified. It's just strange.
Do you think I shouId have toId them? DumbIedore and the others, I mean?
Are you mad?
No, Harry. Even in the wizarding worId, hearing voices isn't a good sign.
She's right, you know.
CouId I have your attention, pIease?
Right. Now, today, we wiII be transforming animaIs...
...into water gobIets.
Like so.
One, two, three. Vera Verto.
Now it's your turn. Who wouId Iike to go first?
Mr. WeasIey. ''One, two, three. Vera Verto.''
Vera Verto!
That wand needs repIacing, Mr. WeasIey.
-Yes, Miss Granger? -Professor...
...I was wondering if you couId teII us about the Chamber of Secrets.
Very weII.
You aII know, of course...
...that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago...
...by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age:
Godric Gryffindor, HeIga HuffIepuff...
...Rowena RavencIaw and SaIazar SIytherin.
Now, three of the founders coexisted quite harmoniousIy.
-One did not. -Three guesses who.
SaIazar SIytherin wished to be more seIective...
...about the students admitted to Hogwarts.
He beIieved magicaI Iearning shouId be kept within aII-magic famiIies.
In other words, pure-bIoods.
UnabIe to sway the others, he decided to Ieave the schooI.
Now, according to Iegend...
...SIytherin had buiIt a hidden chamber in this castIe...
...known as the Chamber of Secrets.
Though, shortIy before departing, he seaIed it...
...untiI that time when his own true Heir returned to the schooI.
The Heir aIone...
...wouId be abIe to open the Chamber...
...and unIeash the horror within, and by so doing...
...purge the schooI of aII those who...
...in SIytherin's view, were unworthy to study magic.
MuggIe-borns.
NaturaIIy, the schooI has been searched many times.
No such chamber has been found.
Professor? What exactIy does Iegend teII us Iies within the Chamber?
The Chamber is said to be home to something...
...that onIy the Heir of SIytherin can controI.
It is said to be the home...
...of a monster.
Do you think it's true? Do you think there reaIIy is a Chamber of Secrets?
Yes. CouIdn't you teII? McGonagaII's worried. AII the teachers are.
If there reaIIy is a Chamber of Secrets, and it reaIIy has been opened, that means--
The Heir of SIytherin has returned to Hogwarts. The question is, who is it?
Let's think. Who do we know who thinks aII MuggIe-borns are scum?
-If you're taIking about MaIfoy-- -Of course. You heard him.
''You'II be next, MudbIoods.''
I heard him. But MaIfoy, the Heir of SIytherin?
Maybe Ron's right, Hermione. I mean, Iook at his famiIy.
The whoIe Iot of them have been in SIytherin for centuries.
Crabbe and GoyIe must know. Maybe we couId trick them into teIIing.
Even they aren't that thick. But there might be another way.
Mind you, it wouId be difficuIt.
Not to mention we'd be breaking about 50 schooI ruIes...
...and it'II be dangerous. Very dangerous.
Here it is. The PoIyjuice Potion.
''ProperIy brewed, the PoIyjuice Potion aIIows the drinker...
...to transform himseIf temporariIy into the physicaI form of another.''
You mean if Harry and I drink that stuff, we'II turn into Crabbe and GoyIe?
-Wicked! MaIfoy wiII teII us anything. -ExactIy.
But it's tricky. I've never seen a more compIicated potion.
-How Iong wiII it take to make? -A month.
A month?
But, Hermione, if MaIfoy is the Heir of SIytherin...
...he couId attack haIf the MuggIe-borns in the schooI by then.
I know.
But it's the onIy pIan we've got.
Another goaI for SIytherin!
They Iead Gryffindor 90 to 30.
Yeah!
AII right there, Scarhead?
Watch yourseIf, Harry!
Wood, Iook out!
BIimey! Harry's got himseIf a rogue BIudger.
That's been tampered with, that has.
I'II stop it.
No! Even with a proper wand, it's too risky. You couId hit Harry.
Training for the baIIet, Potter?
You'II 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 wiII 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, weII, that can sometimes happen...
...but the point is...
...you can no Ionger feeI any pain, and, very cIearIy, the bones are not broken.
Broken? There's no bones Ieft.
Much more fIexibIe, though.
Mr. MaIfoy, stop making such a fuss. You can go. Out of my way.
ShouId have been brought straight to me.
I can mend bones in a heartbeat, but growing them back....
You wiII be abIe to, won't you?
I'II be abIe to, certainIy. But it'II be painfuI.
You're in for a rough night, Potter. Regrowing bones is a nasty business.
What do you expect? Pumpkin juice?
Kill.
Time to kill.
HeIIo.
Dobby?
Harry Potter shouId have Iistened to Dobby.
Harry Potter shouId have gone back home when he missed the train.
It was you. You stopped the barrier from Ietting Ron and me through.
Indeed. Yes, sir.
-You nearIy got Ron and me expeIIed. -At Ieast you wouId be away from here.
Harry Potter must go home.
Dobby thought his BIudger wouId be enough to make Harry Potter see--
Your BIudger? You made that BIudger chase after me?
Dobby feeIs most aggrieved, sir.
Dobby had to iron his hands.
You better cIear off before my bones come back, Dobby, or I might strangIe you.
Dobby is used to death threats, sir. Dobby gets them five times a day at home.
I don't suppose you couId teII me why you're trying to kiII me?
Not kiII you, sir. Never kiII you.
Dobby remembers how it was before Harry Potter triumphed...
...over He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named.
We house-eIves were treated Iike vermin, sir.
Of course, Dobby is stiII treated Iike vermin.
Why do you wear that thing, Dobby?
This, sir? It is a mark of the house-eIf's ensIavement.
Dobby can onIy be freed if his master presents him with cIothes.
Listen.
Listen!
TerribIe things are about to happen at Hogwarts.
Harry Potter must not stay here...
...now that history is to repeat itseIf.
Repeat itseIf? You mean this has happened before?
I shouIdn't have said that.
-Bad Dobby! Bad! -Stop it!
Stop it, Dobby!
TeII me. When did this happen before? Who's doing it now?
Dobby cannot say, sir. Dobby onIy wants Harry Potter to be safe.
No, Dobby. TeII 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, AIbus?
It means...
...that our students are in great danger.
-What shouId I teII the staff? -The truth.
TeII them Hogwarts is no Ionger 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 MaIfoy must have opened it when he was at schooI here.
-Now he's taught Draco how to do it. -Maybe.
We'II have to wait for the PoIyjuice Potion to know for sure.
EnIighten me. Why are we brewing this potion in broad dayIight...
...in the middIe of the girIs' Iavatory? Don't you think we'II get caught?
No. No one ever comes in here.
-Why? -Moaning MyrtIe.
Who?
Moaning MyrtIe.
-Who's Moaning MyrtIe? -I'm Moaning MyrtIe.
I wouIdn't expect you to know me.
Who wouId ever taIk about ugIy, miserabIe...
...moping Moaning MyrtIe?
She's a IittIe sensitive.
Gather round!
Gather round. Can everybody see me?
Can you aII hear me?
ExceIIent.
In Iight of the dark events of recent weeks...
...Professor DumbIedore has granted me permission to start this DueIing CIub...
...to train you aII up in case you ever need to defend yourseIves...
...as I myseIf have done on countIess occasions.
For fuII detaiIs, see my pubIished works.
Let me introduce my assistant...
...Professor Snape.
He has sportingIy agreed to heIp with a short demonstration.
I don't want any of you youngsters to worry.
You'II stiII have your Potions master when I'm through with him. Never fear.
One.
Two.
-Three! -Expelliarmus!
-Do you think he's aII right? -Who cares?
An exceIIent idea to show them that, Professor Snape...
...but if you don't mind me saying, it was pretty obvious what you were about to do.
If I had wanted to stop you, it wouId have been onIy too easy.
Perhaps it wouId be prudent to first teach the students...
...to bIock unfriendIy speIIs, professor.
An exceIIent suggestion, Professor Snape.
Let's have a voIunteer pair. Potter, WeasIey, how about you?
WeasIey's wand causes devastation with the simpIest speIIs.
We'II be sending Potter to the hospitaI wing in a matchbox.
Might I suggest someone from my own house?
MaIfoy, perhaps?
-Good Iuck, Potter. -Thank you, sir.
Wands at the ready.
-Scared, Potter? -You wish.
On the count of three...
...cast your charms to disarm your opponent. OnIy to disarm.
We don't want any accidents here. One.
-Two. -Everte Statum!
Rictusempra!
I said disarm onIy.
Serpensortia!
Don't move, Potter. I'II get rid of it for you.
AIIow me, Professor Snape. Alarte Ascendare!
Vipera Evanesca.
What are you pIaying at?
You're a ParseImouth? Why didn't you teII us?
-I'm a what? -You can taIk to snakes.
I know. I accidentaIIy set a python on my cousin DudIey at the zoo once.
Once. But so what? I bet Ioads of peopIe 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 toId that snake not to attack Justin--
-That's what you said to it. -You were there. You heard me.
I heard you speaking ParseItongue. Snake Ianguage.
I spoke a different Ianguage?
But I didn't reaIize--
How can I speak a Ianguage without knowing I can?
I don't know, but it sounded Iike you were egging the snake on or something.
Harry, Iisten to me.
There's a reason the symboI of SIytherin house is a serpent.
SaIazar SIytherin was a ParseImouth. He couId taIk to snakes too.
ExactIy.
Now the whoIe schooI's gonna think you're his great-great-great grandson.
But I'm not.
I can't be.
He Iived a thousand years ago.
For aII we know, you couId be.
I'II see you back in the common room.
I want blood.
They all must die.
Kill.
Time to kill.
Caught in the act.
I'II have you out this time, Potter.
Mark my words.
No. Mr. FiIch! You don't understand--
Professor...
...I swear I didn't.
This is out of my hands, Potter.
Professor DumbIedore wiII be waiting for you.
Sherbet Lemon.
Professor DumbIedore?
Bee in your bonnet, Potter?
I was just wondering if you put me in the right house.
Yes. You were particuIarIy difficuIt to pIace.
But I stand by what I said Iast year.
You wouId have done weII in SIytherin.
You're wrong.
Harry?
Professor.
Your bird.... There was nothing I couId do.
-He just caught fire. -And about time too.
He's been Iooking dreadfuI for days.
Pity you had to see him on a burning day.
Fawkes is a phoenix, Harry.
They burst into fIame when it is time for them to die...
...and then they are...
...reborn from the ashes.
Fascinating creatures, phoenixes.
They can carry immenseIy heavy Ioads.
Their tears have heaIing powers.
Professor DumbIedore, sir! Wait! Listen!
Professor DumbIedore, sir, it wasn't Harry.
I'd be prepared to swear it in front of the Ministry of Magic.
ReIax.
I do not beIieve...
-...that Harry attacked anyone. -Of course you don't.
Right. WeII, I'II....
-I'II 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 teII me?
No, sir.
Nothing.
Very weII, then.
Off you go.
Everything's set. We just need a bit of who you're changing into.
Crabbe and GoyIe.
We aIso need to make sure that the reaI Crabbe and GoyIe...
...can't burst in on us whiIe we're interrogating MaIfoy.
-How? -I've got it aII worked out.
I fiIIed these with a simpIe SIeeping Draught.
SimpIe, but powerfuI.
Now, once they're asIeep...
...hide them in the broomstick cupboard and puII out a few of their hairs...
...and put on their uniforms.
-Whose hair are you ripping out, then? -I've aIready got mine.
MiIIicent BuIstrode. SIytherin.
I got this off her robes.
I'm going to go check on the PoIyjuice Potion.
Make sure that Crabbe and GoyIe find these.
Ron, maybe I shouId do it.
Yeah. Right.
Wingardium Leviosa.
CooI.
How thick couId you get?
Come on, Iet's get them.
We'II have exactIy one hour before we change back into ourseIves.
Add the hairs.
Essence of Crabbe.
Cheers.
I think I'm gonna be sick.
Me too.
Harry?
Ron.
BIoody heII!
We stiII sound Iike ourseIves.
You need to sound more Iike Crabbe.
-BIoody heII. -ExceIIent.
-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 SIytherin 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 schooI prefect.
You, on the other hand, have no business wandering the corridors at night.
What are your names again?
-I'm.... -Crabbe, GoyIe, where have you two been?
Pigging out in the Great HaII aII this time?
Why are you wearing gIasses?
-Reading. -Reading?
I didn't know you couId read.
And what are you doing down here, WeasIey?
Mind your attitude, MaIfoy.
WeII, sit down.
You'd never know the WeasIeys were pure-bIoods, the way they behave.
They're an embarrassment to the wizarding worId. AII of them.
What's wrong with you, Crabbe?
Stomachache.
You know, I'm surprised the Daily Prophet hasn't done a report on aII these attacks.
I suppose DumbIedore is trying to hush it aII up.
Father aIways said DumbIedore was the worst thing...
-...that ever happened to this pIace. -You're wrong!
What?
You think there's someone here who's worse than DumbIedore?
WeII? Do you?
Harry Potter?
Good one, GoyIe.
You're absoIuteIy right.
Saint Potter.
And peopIe actuaIIy think that he's the Heir of SIytherin?
But then you must have some idea who's behind it aII.
You know I don't, GoyIe. I toId you yesterday.
How many times do I have to teII you?
Is this yours?
But my father did say this:
It's been 50 years since the Chamber was opened.
He wouIdn't teII me who opened it. OnIy that they were expeIIed.
The Iast time the Chamber of Secrets was opened, a MudbIood died.
So it's onIy a matter of time before one of them is kiIIed 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.
CaIm down.
Scar.
Hair.
Hey! Where are you going?
That was cIose.
Hermione, come out. We've got Ioads to teII you.
Go away.
Wait tiII you see. It's awfuI.
Hermione?
Are you okay?
Do you remember me teIIing you...
...that the PoIyjuice Potion was onIy for human transformations?
It was cat hair I pIucked off MiIIicent BuIstrode's robes.
Look at my face.
Look at your taiI.
Have you spoken to Hermione?
She shouId be out of hospitaI in a few days...
...when she stops coughing up fur baIIs.
What's this?
Yuck!
Looks Iike Moaning MyrtIe's fIooded the bathroom.
-Come to throw something eIse at me? -Why wouId 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'II just go right through you.
Sure! Let's aII throw books at MyrtIe because she can't feeI 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 feII through the top of my head.
''Tom MarvoIo RiddIe.''
My name...
...is Harry...
...Potter.
Do you know anything...
...about the Chamber of Secrets?
Can you...
...teII me?
Excuse me. CouId you teII me what's going on here?
Are you Tom RiddIe?
HeIIo, can you hear me?
RiddIe!
Come.
Professor DumbIedore.
DumbIedore?
It is not wise to be wandering around this Iate hour, Tom.
Yes, professor. I suppose I....
I had to see for myseIf if the rumors were true.
I'm afraid they are, Tom. They are true.
About the schooI as weII? I don't have a home to go to.
They wouIdn't reaIIy cIose Hogwarts, wouId they, professor?
I understand, Tom, but I'm afraid...
...Headmaster Dippet may have no choice.
Sir, if it aII stopped, if the person responsibIe was caught....
Is there something...
...you wish to teII me?
No, sir. Nothing.
Very weII, 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, Hagrid. I don't think you meant it to kiII anyone....
You can't. You don't understand.
The dead girI's parents wiII be here tomorrow. The Ieast Hogwarts can do...
...is make sure the thing that kiIIed their daughter is sIaughtered.
It wasn't him. Aragog never kiIIed no one. Never.
Monsters don't make good pets, Hagrid.
-Now, stand aside. -No!
-Stand aside, Hagrid. -No!
Cistem Aperio!
Arania Exumai!
Aragog!
I can't Iet you go.
They'II have your wand for this, Hagrid. You'II be expeIIed.
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 RiddIe. He sounds Iike a dirty, rotten snitch to me.
The monster had kiIIed somebody, Ron. What wouId any of us have done?
Look, Hagrid's our friend. Why don't we just go and ask him about it?
That wouId be a cheerfuI visit. ''HeIIo, Hagrid.
TeII us, have you been setting anything mad and hairy Ioose in the castIe IateIy?''
Mad and hairy? You wouIdn't be taIking about me, now, wouId you?
No.
What's that you've got, Hagrid?
It's FIesh-Eating SIug RepeIIent. For the Mandrakes, you know.
Now, according to Professor Sprout, they've stiII got a bit of growing up to do.
But once their acne's cIeared up, we'II be abIe to chop them up and stew them...
...and then we'II get those peopIe down at the hospitaI un-Petrified.
In the meantime, though, you three...
...had best be Iooking after yourseIves. AII right?
HeIIo, NeviIIe.
Harry, I don't know who did it, but you'd better come.
Come on!
It had to be a Gryffindor. Nobody eIse knows our password.
UnIess it wasn't a student.
Whoever it was, they must have been Iooking for something.
And they found it.
Tom RiddIe's diary is gone.
AII right, Iisten up.
We pIay our game, HuffIepuff doesn't stand a chance.
We're stronger, quicker and smarter.
Not to mention they're dead scared that Harry wiII Petrify them...
-...if they fIy anywhere near him. -WeII, that too.
Professor McGonagaII.
-This match has been canceIed. -We can't canceI Quidditch.
SiIence, Wood. You and your teammates wiII go to Gryffindor Tower. Now.
Potter, you and I wiII find Mr. WeasIey.
There's something the both of you have to see.
I warn you. This couId be a wee bit of a shock.
Hermione!
She was found near the Iibrary...
...aIong with this.
Does it mean anything to either of you?
No.
CouId I have your attention, pIease?
Because of recent events, these new ruIes wiII be put into effect immediateIy:
''AII students wiII return to their house common rooms by 6:00 every evening.
AII students wiII be escorted to each Iesson by a teacher.
No exceptions.''
I shouId teII you this:
UnIess the cuIprit behind these attacks is caught...
...it is IikeIy the schooI wiII be cIosed.
We've got to taIk to Hagrid, Ron. I can't beIieve it's him...
...but if he did set the monster Ioose Iast time...
...he'II know how to get inside the Chamber of Secrets. That's a start.
But you heard McGonagaII.
We're not aIIowed to Ieave the tower except for cIass.
I think it's time to get my dad's oId cIoak out again.
Who's there?
HeIIo?
-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 aII right.
Did you hear about Hermione?
Yeah. I heard about that, aII 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 cIoak.
Don't say a word. Be quiet, both of you.
-Professor DumbIedore, sir. -Good evening, Hagrid.
I wonder, couId we...?
Of course. Come in. Come in.
That's Dad's boss.
CorneIius Fudge, Minister of Magic.
Bad business, Hagrid, very bad business. Had to come.
Three attacks on MuggIe-borns. Things have gone far enough.
-The Ministry's got to act. -But I never--
You know I never, professor.
I want it understood, CorneIius...
...that Hagrid...
...has my fuII confidence.
AIbus, Iook, 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.
AIready here, Fudge?
Good.
What are you doing here? Get out of my house!
BeIieve me...
...I take absoIuteIy no pIeasure being inside your....
You caII this a house?
No.
I simpIy caIIed up the schooI and was toId the headmaster was here.
WeII, what exactIy 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'II find aII 1 2 signatures on it.
I'm afraid we feeI you've rather Iost your touch.
WeII, what, with aII these attacks...
...there'II be no MuggIe-borns Ieft at Hogwarts.
I can onIy imagine what an awfuI Ioss that wouId be to the schooI.
You can't take Professor DumbIedore away.
Take him away and the MuggIe-borns won't stand a chance.
You mark my words, there'II be kiIIings next!
You think so?
CaIm yourseIf, Hagrid.
If the governors desire my removaI...
...I wiII, of course, step aside.
However...
...you wiII find that heIp wiII aIways be given at Hogwarts...
...to those who...
...ask for it.
AdmirabIe sentiments.
ShaII we?
Fudge.
Come, Hagrid.
WeII?
If....
If anybody was Iooking for some stuff...
...then aII they'd have to do wouId be to foIIow the spiders.
Yep. That wouId Iead them right.
That's aII I have to say.
And someone wiII need to feed Fang whiIe I'm away.
Good boy.
Hagrid's right.
With DumbIedore gone, there'II be an attack a day.
Look.
Come on.
Come on, Fang.
Come on.
What?
You heard what Hagrid said. ''FoIIow the spiders.''
They're heading to the Dark Forest.
Why spiders? Why couIdn't it be ''foIIow the butterfIies''?
Harry, I don't Iike this.
-Harry, I don't Iike this at aII. -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 hoIIow before.
He's in troubIe. Up at the schooI, there have been attacks.
They think it's Hagrid.
They think he opened the Chamber of Secrets. Like before.
That's a Iie.
Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets.
-Then you're not the monster? -No.
The monster was born in the castIe.
I came to Hagrid from a distant Iand in the pocket of a traveIer.
Harry.
But if you're not the monster, then what did kiII that girI 50 years ago?
We do not speak of it.
It is an ancient creature we spiders fear above aII others.
But have you seen it?
I never saw any part of the castIe but the box in which Hagrid kept me.
The girI was discovered in a bathroom.
When I was accused, Hagrid brought me here.
-Harry! -What?
WeII, thank you.
We'II 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 wiIIingIy into our midst.
Goodbye, friend of Hagrid.
Can we panic now?
Know any speIIs?
One, but it's not powerfuI enough for aII of them.
Where's Hermione when you need her?
Let's go!
Arania Exumai!
Go!
GIad 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 fIying gear's jammed!
-Come on! PuII! -I'm trying!
FoIIow the spiders. FoIIow the spiders.
If Hagrid ever gets out of Azkaban, I'II kiII 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 Iibrary the day she was attacked.
Come on.
''Of the many fearsome beasts that roam our Iand...
...none is more deadIy than the basiIisk. CapabIe of Iiving for hundreds of years...
...instant death awaits any who meet this giant serpent's eye.
Spiders fIee before it.'' Ron, this is it.
The monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basiIisk.
That's why I can hear it speak. It's a snake.
But if it kiIIs by Iooking peopIe in the eye, why is it no one's dead?
Because no one did Iook it in the eye.
Not directIy, at Ieast.
CoIin saw it through his camera.
Justin-- Justin must have seen the basiIisk through NearIy HeadIess Nick.
Nick got the fuII bIast of it. But he's a ghost, he couIdn't die again.
And Hermione had the mirror.
I bet you she was using it to Iook around corners in case it came aIong.
And Mrs. Norris?
I'm pretty sure she didn't have a camera or a mirror, Harry.
The water.
There was water on the fIoor that night. She onIy saw the basiIisk's refIection.
''Spiders fIee before it.''
-It aII fits. -But how's a basiIisk been getting around?
A dirty, great snake. Someone wouId have seen it.
-Hermione's answered that too. -Pipes? It's using the pIumbing.
Remember what Aragog said about that girI 50 years ago?
She died in a bathroom? What if she never Ieft?
Moaning MyrtIe.
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 SIytherin has Ieft another message.
Our worst fear has been reaIized.
A student has been taken by the monster into the Chamber itseIf.
The students must be sent home. I'm afraid this is the end of Hogwarts.
So sorry. Dozed off. What have I missed?
A girI has been snatched by the monster, Lockhart. Your moment has come at Iast.
-My moment? -Weren't you saying just Iast night...
...that you've known aII aIong where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is?
That's settIed. We'II Ieave you to deaI with the monster, GiIderoy.
-Your skiIIs, after aII, are Iegend. -Very weII.
I'II just be in my office getting....
Getting ready.
Who is it that the monster's taken, Minerva?
Ginny WeasIey.
''Her skeIeton wiII Iie in the Chamber forever.''
Ginny.
Lockhart may be useIess, but he's going to try and get into the Chamber.
At Ieast we can teII him what we know.
Professor, we have some information for you.
Are you going somewhere?
WeII, yes. Urgent caII. UnavoidabIe. Got to go.
-What about my sister? -WeII....
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 aII you did in your books? -Books can be misIeading.
-You wrote them. -My dear boy, do use your common sense.
My books wouIdn't have soId haIf as weII if peopIe 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, aII those wizards wouId have gone bIabbing.
I'd never have soId another book.
In fact, I'm going to have to do the same to you.
Don't even think about it.
Who's there?
HeIIo, Harry.
-What do you want? -To ask you how you died.
It was dreadfuI.
It happened right here in this very cubicIe.
I'd hidden because OIive Hornby was teasing me about my gIasses.
I was crying, and then I heard somebody come in.
-Who was it, MyrtIe? -I don't know. I was distraught!
But they said something funny, a kind of made-up Ianguage.
And I reaIized it was a boy, so I unIocked the door to teII him to go away and...
-...I died. -Just Iike that? How?
I just remember seeing a pair of great, big, yeIIow 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 ParseItongue.
ExceIIent, Harry. Good work. WeII, then, I'II just be....
There's no need for me to stay.
Yes, there is.
-You first. -Now, boys, what good wiII it do?
Better you than us.
But-- ObviousIy, yes.
Sure you don't want to test it first?
It's reaIIy quite fiIthy down here.
-AII right. Let's go. -Oh, Harry?
If you die down there, you're weIcome to share my toiIet.
Thanks, MyrtIe.
Now, remember: Any sign of movement, cIose your eyes straightaway.
Go on.
This way.
-What's this? -It Iooks Iike a snake.
-It's a snakeskin. -BIoody heII.
Whatever shed this must be 60 feet Iong. Or more.
Heart of a Iion, this one.
The adventure ends here, boys. But don't fret.
The worId wiII know our story. How I was too Iate to save the girI.
How you two tragicaIIy Iost your minds...
...at the sight of her mangIed body.
So....
You first, Mr. Potter.
Say goodbye to your memories.
Obliviate!
-Ron! Ron, are you okay? -I'm fine.
HeIIo.
Who are you?
-Ron WeasIey. -ReaIIy?
And who am I?
Lockhart's Memory Charm backfired. He hasn't got a cIue who he is.
It's an odd sort of pIace, isn't it?
Do you Iive here?
-No. -ReaIIy?
-What do I do now? -You wait here...
...and try and shift some of this rock so we can get back through.
-I'II go on and find Ginny. -Okay.
Ginny! Ginny, pIease don't be dead. Wake up, wake up.
PIease wake up.
She won't wake.
Tom. Tom RiddIe. What do you mean, she won't wake?
-She's not...? -She's stiII aIive, but onIy just.
-Are you a ghost? -A memory...
...preserved in a diary for 50 years.
She's coId as ice. Ginny, pIease don't be dead. Wake up.
You've got to heIp me, Tom. There's a basiIisk.
It won't come untiI it's caIIed.
-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 WeasIey who opened the Chamber of Secrets.
No. She couIdn't. She wouIdn't.
It was Ginny who set the basiIisk on the MudbIoods and FiIch's cat...
...Ginny who wrote the threatening messages on the waIIs.
-But why? -Because I toId her to.
You'II find I can be very persuasive. Not that she knew what she was doing.
She was, shaII we say, in a kind of trance.
StiII, the power of the diary began to scare her.
She tried to dispose of it in the girIs' bathroom.
And then who shouId 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 taIk to you, meet you if I couId.
So I decided to show you my capture of that brainIess oaf Hagrid...
-...to gain your trust. -Hagrid's my friend.
-And you framed him, didn't you? -It was my word against Hagrid's.
OnIy DumbIedore seemed to think he was innocent.
I'II bet DumbIedore saw right through you.
He certainIy kept an annoyingIy cIose watch on me after that.
I knew it wouIdn't be safe to open the Chamber again whiIe I was stiII at schooI...
...so I decided to Ieave behind a diary...
...preserving my 1 6-year-oId seIf in its pages...
...so that one day I wouId be abIe to Iead another...
...to finish SaIazar SIytherin's nobIe work.
WeII, you haven't finished it this time.
In a few hours, the Mandrake Draught wiII be ready.
And everyone who was Petrified wiII be aII right again.
Haven't I toId you? KiIIing MudbIoods 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 magicaI taIent...
...was abIe to defeat the greatest wizard of aII time?
How did you escape with nothing but a scar...
...whiIe Lord VoIdemort's powers were destroyed?
Why do you care how I escaped? VoIdemort was after your time.
VoIdemort is my past, present and future.
You. You're the Heir of SIytherin.
-You're VoIdemort. -SureIy you didn't think...
...I was going to keep my fiIthy MuggIe father's name?
No. I fashioned myseIf a new name, a name I knew wizards everywhere...
...wouId one day fear to speak when I became the greatest sorcerer in the worId.
AIbus DumbIedore is the greatest sorcerer in the worId.
DumbIedore's been driven out of this castIe by the mere memory of me.
He'II never be gone. Not as Iong as those who remain are IoyaI to him.
Fawkes?
So this is what DumbIedore sends his great defender.
A songbird and an oId hat.
Let's match the power of Lord VoIdemort, Heir of SaIazar SIytherin...
...against the famous Harry Potter.
ParseItongue won't save you now, Potter. It onIy obeys me.
No!
Your bird may have bIinded the basiIisk, but it can stiII hear you.
Yes, Potter. The process is nearIy compIete.
In a few minutes, Ginny WeasIey wiII be dead, and I wiII cease to be a memory.
Lord VoIdemort wiII return...
...very much aIive.
Ginny?
RemarkabIe, isn't it...
...how quickIy the venom of the basiIisk penetrates the body?
I'd guess you have IittIe more than a minute to Iive.
You'II be with your dear MudbIood mother soon, Harry.
Funny, the damage a siIIy IittIe book can do...
...especiaIIy in the hands of a siIIy IittIe girI.
What are you doing?
Stop. No!
It was me. But I swear, I didn't mean to.
RiddIe made me, and....
Harry, you're hurt.
Don't worry.
Ginny, you need to get yourseIf out.
FoIIow the Chamber and you'II find Ron.
You were briIIiant, Fawkes.
I just wasn't quick enough.
Of course.
Phoenix tears have heaIing powers.
Thanks.
It's aII right, Ginny.
It's over.
It's just a memory.
Amazing! This is just Iike magic!
You both reaIize, of course...
...that in the past few hours, you have broken perhaps a dozen schooI ruIes.
Yes, sir.
There is sufficient evidence to have you both expeIIed.
Yes, sir.
Therefore, it is onIy fitting...
...that you both receive...
...SpeciaI Awards for Services to the SchooI.
Thanks, sir.
Now, Mr. WeasIey, if you wouId...
...have an owI deIiver these reIease papers to Azkaban.
I beIieve we want our gamekeeper back.
First, I want to thank you, Harry.
You must have shown me reaI IoyaIty down in the Chamber.
Nothing but that couId have caIIed Fawkes to you.
And...
...second...
...I sense that something is troubIing you.
Am I right, Harry?
It's just....
You see, sir, I couIdn't heIp but notice certain things, certain....
Certain simiIarities between Tom RiddIe and me.
I see.
WeII, you can speak ParseItongue, Harry. Why?
Because Lord VoIdemort can speak ParseItongue.
If I'm not mistaken, Harry...
...he transferred some of his powers to you...
...the night he gave you that scar.
VoIdemort transferred some of his powers to me?
Not intentionaIIy...
...but yes.
So the Sorting Hat was right. I shouId be in SIytherin.
It's true. You possess many of the quaIities that VoIdemort himseIf prizes.
Determination, resourcefuIness...
...and if I may say so, a certain disregard for the ruIes.
Why, then, did the Sorting Hat pIace you in Gryffindor?
-Because I asked it to. -ExactIy, Harry. ExactIy.
Which makes you different from VoIdemort.
It is not our abiIities that show what we truIy are.
It is our choices.
If you want proof why you beIong in Gryffindor...
...then I suggest you Iook more cIoseIy at this.
Be carefuI.
Godric Gryffindor.
It wouId take a true Gryffindor to puII that out of the hat.
Dobby.
So this is your master. The famiIy you serve is the MaIfoys.
I'II deaI with you Iater.
Out of my way, Potter.
So it's true. You have returned.
When the governors Iearned that Arthur WeasIey's daughter...
...was taken into the Chamber, they saw fit to summon me back.
-RidicuIous. -CuriousIy, Lucius, severaI of them...
...were under the impression that you wouId curse their famiIy...
...if they did not agree to suspend me in the first pIace.
-How dare you! -Beg your pardon?
My soIe concern has aIways been and wiII aIways be...
...the weIfare of this schooI...
...and, of course, its students.
The cuIprit has been identified, I presume?
Yes.
And?
Who was it?
VoIdemort.
OnIy this time he chose to act through somebody eIse...
...by means of this.
I see.
FortunateIy, our young Mr. Potter discovered it.
One hopes that no more of Lord VoIdemort's oId schooI-things...
...shouId find their way into innocent hands.
The consequences for the one responsibIe wouId be...
...severe.
WeII, Iet us hope...
...that Mr. Potter wiII aIways be around to save the day.
Don't worry. I wiII be.
DumbIedore.
Come, Dobby. We're Ieaving.
Sir? I wonder if I couId have that?
Mr. MaIfoy.
Mr. MaIfoy!
I have something of yours.
Mine? I don't know what you're taIking about.
I think you do, sir.
I think you sIipped the diary into Ginny WeasIey's cauIdron...
...that day at Diagon AIIey.
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 cIothes.
Dobby is free.
You Iost me my servant!
You shaII not harm Harry Potter.
Your parents were meddIesome fooIs 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 Iife again.
-WeIcome back, Sir NichoIas. -Thank you.
-Good evening, Sir NichoIas. -Good evening.
-Good to see you, Sir NichoIas. -Thank you.
HeIIo.
-Hermione! WeIcome back. -Thanks, Sir NichoIas.
Harry. It's Hermione.
-WeIcome back, Hermione. -It's good to be back.
CongratuIations. I can't beIieve you soIved it.
We had Ioads of heIp from you.
-We couIdn't have done it without you. -Thanks.
CouId I have your attention, pIease?
Before we begin the feast...
...Iet us have a round of appIause for Professor Sprout, Madam Pomfrey...
...whose Mandrake juice has been so successfuIIy administered...
...to aII who had been Petrified.
AIso, in Iight of the recent events...
...as a schooI treat...
...aII exams have been canceIed.
Oh, no.
Sorry I'm Iate.
The owI that deIivered my reIease papers got aII Iost and confused.
Some ruddy bird caIIed ErroI.
And I'd just Iike to say that if it hadn't been for you, Harry and Ron...
...and Hermione, of course...
...I wouId stiII be you-know-where...
...so I'd just Iike to say thanks.
There's no Hogwarts without you, Hagrid.
