Plot summary for
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001) More at IMDbPro »

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is the first film in the Harry Potter series based on the novels by J.K. Rowling. It is the tale of Harry Potter, an ordinary 11-year-old boy serving as a sort of slave for his aunt and uncle who learns that he is actually a wizard and has been invited to attend the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry is snatched away from his mundane existence by Hagrid, the grounds keeper for Hogwarts, and quickly thrown into a world completely foreign to both him and the viewer. Famous for an incident that happened at his birth, Harry makes friends easily at his new school. He soon finds, however, that the wizarding world is far more dangerous for him than he would have imagined, and he quickly learns that not all wizards are ones to be trusted. Written by Carly

Harry Potter is an average bespectacled 11 year old boy who has lived with the Dursley family ever since his parents died in a car crash. For some reason the family has always mistreated him. On his 11th birthday a giant man named Rubeus Hagrid hands him a letter telling him that he has been accepted as a student at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry learns that his parents were wizards and were killed by an evil wizard Voldemort, a truth that was hidden from him all these years. He embarks for his new life as a student, gathering two good friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger along the way. They soon learn that something very valuable is hidden somewhere inside the school and Voldemort is very anxious to lay his hands on it. Written by Soumitra

Harry Potter thinks he is an ordinary boy celebrating his 11th birthday, but he is far from wrong. A giant named Hagrid appears, and gives Harry the all important news. He is a wizard. Now his journey in life gets more intense as he travels to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry to learn the trade of being a wizard. Here, he meets his friends who would be by his side for many years to come. Ron Weasley is not very brave friend and Hermione is the smart friend. But not everything is quiet at Hogwarts as Harry suspects someone is planning to steal the philosopher’s stone. Written by simon

Young Harry Potter has to lead a hard life: His parents have died in a car crash when he was still a baby, and he is being brought up by his Uncle Vernon and Aunt Petunia. For some reason unbeknownst to the bespectacled ten-year-old, the Dursleys let him live in the small chamber under the stairs, and treat him more like vermin than like a family member. His fat cousin Dudley, the Dursley’s real son, keeps bothering Harry all the time. On his eleventh birthday, Harry Potter finally receives a mysterious letter from a certain Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, telling him that he is chosen as one of the future students of that supposedly renowned school. Hagrid, the gigantic man who brought the letter, finally introduces Harry into the real circumstances of his life: His parents were a wizard and a witch, they were killed by the evil wizard Voldemort protecting him. Harry still has a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead from that event. Since he survived the attack as a baby, and also somehow deprived Voldemort from his powers, he has been famous in the wizarding world ever since. The Dursleys, strong disbelievers in that magical crap, never told Harry anything about his true self. So, Harry is strongly surprised, yet absolutely happy to start his training. At Hogwarts, Harry meets his teachers, and becomes friends with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. The three of them accidentally find out that the potions master, Severus Snape, seems to plot on stealing something that is guarded by a three-headed dog. Since nobody would believe some first years to have found out such important things that even would incriminate a Hogwarts teacher, they take it on themselves to find out what Snape is up to. Their quest for the truth leads across many obstacles, from keeping up the everyday school life, a bewitched Quidditch match (Quidditch is a popular wizard sport), Fluffy, the three-headed monster dog and quite some tasks one has to overcome to get to the guarded object. Written by Julian Reischl {julianreischl@mac.com}

On his 11th birthday, young Harry Potter discovers the life he never knew he had, the life of a wizard. In his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he meets his two best friends Ron Weasley, an expert at Wizard Chess, and Hermione Granger, a girl with non-magic parents. Harry learns the game of Quiditch and Wizard Chess on his way to facing a Dark Arts teacher who is bent on destroying him. Written by Shaun Ouimette {xextreemshaun589@hotmail.com}

Synopsis for
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001) More at IMDbPro »

Shortly before Harry’s eleventh birthday, he receives a letter addressed specifically to him. His outraged uncle, however, reads and burns it before Harry has a chance to look at the contents. The sender does not give up, and the Dursleys receive successively larger numbers of the same correspondence. Soon, his Uncle Vernon (Richard Griffiths) becomes so paranoid that the Dursleys, with Harry in tow, hide in a hut on a small island to escape. That night (which happens to be before Harry’s birthday), he is visited by an enormous man named Hagrid who bursts through the locked door of the hut. With Hagrid holding the Dursleys at bay, Harry finally reads his letter, in which he learns he has been invited to study magic at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The next day Harry and Hagrid leave the hut and head to Diagon Alley in London (the secret magical location hidden behind the famous wizarding pub The Leaky Cauldron). Harry enters the wizarding world for the first time, learns to his surprise that he is famous, and meets the new Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Quirrell (Ian Hart). He takes the train to Hogwarts from Platform Nine and three-quarters, befriending Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), and meeting Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), a Muggle-born witch.

Upon arrival, the Sorting Hat places Harry, Ron and Hermione in Gryffindor House. Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton), an arrogant and elitist student, gets placed in Slytherin. At the end of his first week at Hogwarts Harry and Ron discover that Gringotts, the wizarding bank, was broken into and a vault that Harry and Hagrid visited had been the subject of the robbery. Later, Harry discovers he has a talent for riding broomsticks, and after an incident with Malfoy, is recruited to join Gryffindor’s Quidditch team as a Seeker. He is the youngest Quidditch player at the school in a century, much to Malfoy’s displeasure.

Harry, Ron, Hermione explore Hogwarts late at night and accidentally stumble across the door to a corridor. A three-headed dog, christened Fluffy by Hagrid, guards a trapdoor. On Halloween, Quirrell informs everyone that a troll has entered the castle; it gets locked in the girls’ bathroom by Ron and Harry, where Hermione is crying after Ron has insulted her. When they realize their mistake, Harry and Ron fight the troll to save Hermione, and the three become best friends.

At Harry’s first Quidditch match, Harry’s broom becomes possessed, nearly knocking him off. Hermione sees Professor Severus Snape (Alan Rickman), the sinister Potions master and head of Slytherin House, staring at Harry and mouthing words, making her believe that Snape has caused the broom to misbehave with a dark curse. Hoping to save Harry, Hermione sets Snape’s robes on fire, distracting him and others and allowing Harry to survive.

At Christmas, Harry receives an Invisibility Cloak, once belonging to his father, which renders its wearer invisible. Harry uses it to explore the Restricted Section in the library to research information on Nicolas Flamel, a name Hagrid lets slip when confronted about his knowledge of Fluffy. Eventually, Harry learns that “Nicolas Flamel is the only known maker of the Sorcerer’s Stone, which produces the Elixir of Life which will make the drinker immortal.”

Harry sees Snape trying to get information from Quirrell about getting past Fluffy; Quirrell says he does not know what he’s talking about. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are sure that Snape is trying to steal the Philosopher’s Stone in order to restore Lord Voldemort to power, but Hagrid denies it. While at Hagrid’s hut, the trio discover a dragon egg Hagrid was nursing in a fire. Later the egg hatches a Norwegian Ridgeback dragon, and Hagrid decides to call him “Norbert”. The friends are nervous for Hagrid, since dragon breeding had long been outlawed in the wizarding world, and Hagrid had something of a reckless nature, who has long since nursed a strong desire for a dragon. Finally, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are able to convince Hagrid to let Norbert go live with other dragons of his kind in Romania, and arranged for the dragon, (now quite large in size), to be picked up by Ron’s older dragon trainer brother, Charlie.

Harry, Hermione. and Draco are caught out late at night (Ron is meanwhile in the hospital wing, being treated for a bite from Norbert), and are forced to serve detention with Hagrid in the Forbidden Forest. Harry sees a hooded figure drink the blood of an injured unicorn, which makes Harry’s forehead scar start burning. Firenze, a centaur, tells Harry that it is a monstrous thing to slay a unicorn, let alone drink its blood. He also tells Harry that unicorn blood is like Elixir of Life, and that the hooded figure is in fact Voldemort.

Harry, Hermione and Ron find out that Hagrid, while he was drunk in a pub, has told a hooded stranger how to get past Fluffy, and they believe the theft of the Stone is imminent. Rushing to finally confide in Professor Dumbledore their news, they meet Professor McGonagall, who is shocked to find out how much they knew about the Stone, but reassures them all the same that it is safe in the castle. She also tells them that Dumbledore has been sent away on an important mission by the Ministry of Magic. Positive that Dumbledore’s summons was a red herring to take Professor Dumbledore away from Hogwarts, the trio make plans to thwart Snape’s theft of the stone. They set out to reach the stone first, navigating the security system set up by the school’s staff, which is a series of complex magical challenges. The three make it through together until finally, Harry must enter the inner chamber alone. There he finds that meek Professor Quirrell, not Snape, is attempting to steal the Stone. Realizing that Snape was trying to protect him from harm all along, Harry confronts Quirrell and survives a second encounter with Lord Voldemort, who has possessed Quirrell and appears as a ghastly face on the back of Quirrell’s head. Quirrell gets blisters when he touches Harry’s skin, and Harry suffers because of his close proximity to Lord Voldemort. Dumbledore arrives just in time to rescue Harry. Voldemort then pitilessly abandons Quirrell, who dies in the aftermath of his possession.

Dumbledore reveals to Harry that Harry’s mother died to protect Harry as an infant. Her pure, loving sacrifice provides Harry with an ancient magical protection from Voldemort’s lethal spells and also prevents Voldemort from touching Harry without suffering terribly. Dumbledore also says that the Sorcerer’s Stone has been destroyed to prevent future attempts by Voldemort to steal it.

Whilst in the Hospital wing Harry asks Dumbledore why Voldemort attempted to kill him when he was a young child. Dumbledore tells Harry when he is old enough he will tell him why.

Finally, at the end-of-year feast, the House Points totals are given: Gryffindor is in last place. However, Dumbledore gives a few “last-minute additions”, granting points to Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville, so that Gryffindor wins the House Cup.

Hagrid: You’re the boy who lived.
[after Harry mentions Fluffy to Hagrid]
Hagrid: Who told you ’bout Fluffy?
Ron: Fluffy?
Hermione: That thing has a name?
Dumbledore: It does not do to dwell on dreams, Harry, and forget to live.
Ron: It’s spooky! She knows more about you than you do!
Harry: Who doesn’t?
Mr. Ollivander: Curious… very curious…
Harry: Excuse me, sir, but what’s curious?
Mr. Ollivander: I remember every wand I’ve ever sold, Mr. Potter. It just so happens that the phoenix whose tailfeather resides in your wand gave another… just one other. It is curious that you should be destined for this wand… when its brother gave you that scar.
Harry: [puts a hand to his forehead] And who owned that wand?
Mr. Ollivander: We do not speak his name! The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter. It’s not always clear why. But I think it is clear that we can expect great things from you. After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things. Terrible! Yes. But great.
Dumbledore: Dear Mr. Potter, we are pleased to inform you that you have been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Soon, you and your schoolmates will join us here, and your education in the magical arts will begin.
Hermione: Now if you two don’t mind, I’m going to bed before either of you can come up with another clever idea to get us all killed – or worse, expelled.
Ron: She needs to sort out her priorities!
[about Fluffy]
Hagrid: I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the…
Harry: Yes?
Hagrid: I shouldn’t have said that. No more questions, don’t ask anymore questions!
Hagrid: [explaining how to get past Fluffy] You just play a bit of music and he’ll fall right to sleep… I shouldn’t have told you that!
[in the Devil's Snare]
Hermione: Stop moving, both of you. This is devil’s snare! You have to relax. If you don’t, it’ll only kill you faster!
Ron: Kill us faster? Oh, now I can relax!
Hermione: [after Hermione and Harry sink in the Devil's Snare, Ron is still panicking] He’s not relaxing, is he?
Harry: Apparently not.
Hermione: I’ve gotta do something!
Harry: What?
Ron: Oh, I remember reading something in herbology… um… Devil’s Snare, Devil’s Snare…”It’s deadly fun, but will sulk in the sun!” That’s it! Devil’s Snare hates sunlight! Lumos Solem!
[she conjures a type of sunlight from her wand; Ron falls to the ground below]
Ron: [sigh] Lucky we didn’t panic.
Harry: Lucky Hermione pays attention in herbology.
Hagrid: You’re a wizard, Harry!
Harry: I’m a what?
Hermione: Harry, no way! You heard what Madam Hooch said. Besides, you don’t even know how to fly!
[Harry ignores Hermione; giving Malfoy an evil look, he flies up. The class stares up at him]
Hermione: What an idiot!
Draco Malfoy: [picks up Neville's Rememberall] Did you see his face? Maybe if that fat lump had given this a squeeze, he’d have remembered to fall on his fat arse.
Hermione: You’ll be okay, Harry. You’re a great wizard. You really are.
Harry: Not as good as you.
Hermione: Me? Books and cleverness. There are more important things: friendship and bravery. And Harry, just be careful.
Hermione: Ron, you don’t suppose this is going to be like… *real* wizard’s chess, do you?
Ron: [looks around] You there, D5!
[one of the giant black pawns crosses the board, the white pawn smashes it with a violent blow]
Ron: [swallows] Yes, Hermione, I think this is gonna be *exactly* like wizard’s chess.
Harry: I swear I don’t know. One minute the glass was there and the next it was gone. It was like magic.
Uncle Vernon: There is no such thing as magic!
Draco Malfoy: Think my name’s funny, do you? No need to ask you yours. Red hair… and a hand-me-down robe… you must be a Weasley.
Dumbledore: What happened down in the dungeon between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret. So, naturally, the whole school knows.
[about Every Flavor Beans]
Dumbledore: I was unfortunate enough in my youth to come across a vomit-flavored one, and since then I’m afraid I’ve rather lost my liking for them. But, I think I could be safe with a nice toffee.
[eats it]
Dumbledore: …Ah, alas, earwax.
Ron: Wingardium leviosa!
Hermione: Stop, stop stop! You’re going to take someone’s eye out. Besides, you’re saying it wrong. It’s Levi-OH-sa, not Levio-SA.
Hermione: Neville, I’m really, really sorry about this.
[raises her wand]
Hermione: Petrificus Totalus!
[Neville's arms snap to his sides, and he drops to the floor, frozen stiff as a board]
Ron: You’re a little scary sometimes, you know that? Brilliant… but scary.
Hagrid: Dry up Dursley, you great prune!
Percy Weasley: And keep an eye on the staircases. They like to change.
Molly Weasley: [looks at Fred, hoping to get him onto platform 9 3/4] Come along, Fred. You first.
George Weasley: He’s not Fred, I am!
Fred Weasley: Honestly, woman. And you call yourself our mother…
Molly Weasley: [to Fred] Oh, I’m sorry, George.
[Fred approaches the barrier with his trolley]
Fred Weasley: I’m only joking, I AM Fred!
[he runs through the barrier to the platform]
Hermione: Look at you playing with your cards. Pathetic! We’ve got final exams coming up soon.
Ron: I’m ready! Ask me any questions.
Hermione: All right, what’s the three most crucial ingredients in a Forgetfulness Potion?
Ron: I forgot.
Hermione: And what may I ask do you plan to do if this comes up in the final exam?
Ron: Copy off you?
Hermione: No, you won’t! Besides, according to Professor McGonagall, we’re to be given special quills bewitched with an anti-cheating spell.
Ron: That’s insulting! It’s as if they don’t trust us!
Aunt Petunia: This is what you’re going to be wearing when I finish dying it.
Harry: But that’s Dudley’s old uniform! It’ll fit me like bits of old elephant skin.
Professor Severus Snape: For your information Potter, Asphodel and Wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of the Living Death, a Bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and will save you from most poisons. As for Monkshood and Wolfsbane, they are the same plant which also goes by the name of Aconite. Well, why aren’t you all copying this down?
Harry: Good of you to get us out of trouble like that.
Ron: Mind you, we did save her life!
Harry: Mind you, she might not have needed saving if you hadn’t insulted her.
Ron: What are friends for?
Hagrid: Blimey, I’d love a dragon.
Harry: You’d like a dragon?
Hagrid: Vastly misunderstood beasts, Harry. Vastly misunderstood.
Professor Quirrel: Troll! In the dungeons!
[looks sick]
Professor Quirrel: Thought you ought to know.
[faints and crumples onto the floor]
Seamus Finnigan: I’m half and half. Me dad’s a muggle; Mam’s a witch. Bit of a nasty shock for him when he found out.
Draco Malfoy: So it’s true then, what they were saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts.
Caretaker Argus Filch: A pity they let the old punishment die… Was a time detention found you hanging by your thumbs in the dungeons… God, I miss the screaming.
Oliver Wood: Scared, Harry?
Harry: A little.
Oliver Wood: It’s all right. I felt the same way before my first game.
Harry: What happened?
Oliver Wood: Er, I don’t really remember. I took a bludger to the head two minutes in. Woke up in the hospital a week later.
Dudley Dursley: Daddy’s gone mad hasn’t he?
Professor McGonagall: Albus, do you really think it wise, leaving him here with these people? I’ve watched them all day, they’re the worst sort of Muggles imaginable. They really are…
Dumbledore: The only family he has.
Professor McGonagall: This boy will be famous. There won’t be a child in our world who doesn’t know his name.
Dumbledore: Exactly. He’s much better off growing up away from all of that… until he is ready.
Harry: I can’t be a wizard. I’m just Harry, just Harry.
Ron: I’m Ron by the way, Ron Weasley.
Harry: I’m Harry. Harry Potter.
Ron: So… so it’s true! I mean, do you really have the… the…
Harry: The what?
Ron: [in a hushed tone] The scar?
[Harry shows him the scar on his forehead]
Ron: Wicked!
Professor Severus Snape: There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don’t expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making. However, for those select few…
[stares at Draco Malfoy]
Professor Severus Snape: Who possess, the predisposition… I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death.
[notices Harry scribbling on his paper]
Professor Severus Snape: Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough to NOT-PAY-ATTENTION.
[steps over to Harry]
Professor Severus Snape: Mister Potter. Our new… celebrity.
Neville Longbottom: [about his new Remembrall] Only problem is, I can’t remember what I’ve forgotten.
Ron: I think we’ve been a bad influence on her.
[during the final chess game; Harry looks around at the board]
Harry: Wait a minute!
Ron: You see it, don’t you, Harry? Once I make my move, the Queen will take me. Then you’re free to check the King.
Harry: No. Ron, NO!
Hermione: What is it?
Harry: He’s going to sacrifice himself.
Hermione: No, you can’t, there must be another way!
Ron: Do you want to stop Snape from getting that stone or not?
[Hermione looks stunned]
Ron: Harry, it’s you that has to go on, I *know* it. Not me, not Hermione, YOU.
[Harry takes a deep breath and nods]
Ron: [after a deep breath] Knight to H3.
[Ron and his horse advance to the next square. Ron breathes deep]
Ron: Check.
[The white Queen turns, advances slowly upon him, then draws her sword and plunges it into his horse, throwing him violently to the ground]
Harry: RON!
[Hermione makes as if to run to him]
Harry: [to Hermione] NO! DON’T MOVE! Don’t forget – we’re still playing.
[Harry moves three squares diagonally to his left and turns to face the King]
Harry: CHECKMATE.
Ron: Happy Christmas, Harry.
Dumbledore: It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends.
Dumbledore: Only a person who wanted to find the Stone – find it, but not use it – would be able to get it. That is one of my more brilliant ideas. And between you and me, that is saying something.
Dumbledore: And finally, I must tell you that this year, the third-floor corridor on the right-hand side is out of bounds to everyone who does not wish to die a most painful death.
Ron: [Harry and Ron arrive late to Transfiguration, relieved that Professor McGonagall isn't there yet] Whew, made it. Can you imagine the look on old McGonagall’s face if we were late?
[the cat sitting at the head of the class suddenly transforms into her]
Ron: That was bloody brilliant!
Professor McGonagall: Well, thank you for that assessment, Mr Weasley. Perhaps it would be more useful if I were to transfigure Mr Potter and yourself into a pocket watch? That way, one of you might be on time.
Harry: We got lost.
Professor McGonagall: Then perhaps a map? I trust you don’t need one to find your seats.
Ron: What do they think they’re doing, keeping a thing like that locked up in a school?
Hermione: You don’t use your eyes, do you? Didn’t you see what it was standing on?
Ron: I wasn’t looking at its feet! I was a bit preoccupied with its heads… or maybe you didn’t notice? There were three!
[looking at a recently-hatched dragon]
Hagrid: Isn’t he beautiful? Oh, bless him! Look! He knows his mummy! Hallo, Norbert!
Harry: Norbert?
Hagrid: Yeah, well, he’s gotta have a name, don’t he?
Ron: Immortal?
Hermione: It means you’ll never die.
Ron: [angry] I know what it means!
Ron: Mental that one, I’m telling you.
[about the Bludgers]
Oliver Wood: Nasty little buggers.
Hagrid: You all right there, Harry? You seem very quiet.
Harry: He killed my parents, didn’t he?
[puts a hand to his scar]
Harry: The one who gave me this?
[Hagrid is silent]
Harry: You know, Hagrid. I know you do.
[Hagrid sighs and pushes his bowl aside]
Hagrid: First – and understand this, Harry, ’cause it’s very important – not all wizards are good. Some of them go bad. A few years ago there was one wizard that went as bad as you can go, and his name was V-
[sighs]
Hagrid: his name was V…
Harry: Maybe if you wrote it down…
Hagrid: Nah, I can’t spell it. Alright
[whispers]
Hagrid: ‘Voldemort’
Harry: [loudly] Voldemort?
Hagrid: Shhh! It was dark times, Harry, dark times. Voldemort started to gather some followers, brought ‘em over to the dark side. Anyone who stood up to him ended up dead. Your parents fought against him, but nobody lived once he decided to kill them. Nobody… not one… ‘cept you.
Harry: Me? Voldemort tried to kill… ME?
Hagrid: Yes. That ain’t no ordinary cut on your forehead. A mark like that only comes from being touched by a curse, and an evil curse at that.
Harry: What happened to Vol- to You-Know-Who?
Hagrid: Well, some say he died. Codswallop in my opinion. Nope, I reckon he’s still out there, too tired to carry on. But one thing’s certain, something about you stumped him that night. That’s why you’re famous, Harry, that’s why everybody knows your name. You’re the boy who lived.
Lord Voldemort: There is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it…
[Harry enters the hidden chamber where the Sorcerer's Stone is being kept, expecting to see Snape - but instead he sees Quirrel]
Harry: You!
Professor Quirrel: I wondered whether I’d be meeting you here, Potter.
Harry: But I thought… Snape…
Professor Quirrel: Yes, he does seem the type, doesn’t he? Why, next to him, who would suspect p-p-poor, st-st-stuttering Professor Quirrell?
Ron: Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow!
Uncle Vernon: He will not be going, I tell you! We swore when we took him in we’d put a stop to all this rubbish!
Harry: You knew? You knew all along and you never told me?
Aunt Petunia: Of course we knew. How could you not be? My perfect sister being who she was. My mother and father were so proud the day she got her letter. “We have a witch in the family. Isn’t it wonderful?” I was the only one to see her for what she was… a freak! And then she met that Potter. And then she had you, and I knew you’d be the same. Just as strange, just as… abnormal. And then if you please, she went and got herself blown up, and we got landed with you.
Harry: Blown up? You told me my parents died in a car crash!
Hagrid: A car crash? A car crash kill Lily and James Potter?
Aunt Petunia: We had to say something.
Hagrid: It’s an outrage! It’s a scandal!
Uncle Vernon: He will not be going!
Hagrid: Oh, and I suppose a great muggle like yourself is gonna stop him, are ya?
Dumbledore: Harry, do you know why it is that Professor Quirrell could not bear to have you touch him?
[Harry shakes his head]
Dumbledore: It was because of your mother. She sacrificed herself for you, and that kind of act leaves a mark.
[Harry reaches up to touch his scar]
Dumbledore: No no, this kind of mark cannot be seen. It lives in your very skin.
Harry: And what is that?
Dumbledore: Love, Harry. Love.
[after being in the Dark Forest]
Harry: I think if he had the chance, he would have killed me tonight.
Ron: And to think, I’ve been worrying about my potions final.
Professor McGonagall: [on Harry and Ron beating the Mountain Troll] Five points will be awarded to each of you…
[Ron and Harry smile at each other]
Professor McGonagall: …for sheer dumb luck.
Fred Weasley: Well done, Harry. Wood just told us.
Ron: Fred and George are on the team, too. Beaters.
George Weasley: Our job is to make sure you don’t get bloodied up too bad. Can’t make any promises, though. Rough game, Quidditch.
Fred Weasley: Brutal, but no one died in years. Someone will vanish occasionally, but they always turn up in a month or two!
Professor Severus Snape: What would three young Gryffindors such as yourselves be doing inside… on a day like this?
Hermione: Uh… well… we… we were just…
Professor Severus Snape: You ought to be more careful. People will think you’re…
[sees Harry staring at him]
Professor Severus Snape: Up… to something.
Professor McGonagall: Nothing, I repeat, nothing… gives a student the right to walk about the school at night. Therefore, as punishment for your actions, 50 points will be taken.
Harry: 50?
[Ron and Hermione also looking shocked, Draco smirking]
Professor McGonagall: Each.
[Harry's mouth drops open]
Professor McGonagall: And to ensure it doesn’t happen again… all four of you will receive detention.
Draco Malfoy: [smirk suddenly fades and steps up] Excuse me, professor, perhaps I heard you wrong. I thought you said the four of us.
Professor McGonagall: No, you heard me correctly, Mr. Malfoy. You see, honorable as your intentions were, you too were out of bed after hours… You will join your classmates in detention.
[Hagrid's sad about Norbert being taken away]
Caretaker Argus Filch: For God’s sake, pull yourself together man. You’re going into the Forest after all. Got to have your wits about ya…
Draco Malfoy: The Forest? I thought that was a joke. We can’t go in there. Students aren’t allowed. And there are…
[a howling noise is heard]
Draco Malfoy: …werewolves.
Caretaker Argus Filch: Oh, there’s more than werewolves in those trees, you can be sure of that. Nighty night.
Harry: Excuse me sir, can you tell me where I might find Platform Nine and Three-Quarters?
Station Guard: Nine and Three-Quarters? Think you’re being funny do ya?
[muttering to himself]
Station Guard: Nine and Three-Quarters!
[stepping over Neville lying on the floor, whom Hermione has petrified using the "Petrificus Totalus Curse"]
Harry: Sorry.
Hermione: Sorry.
Ron: It’s for your own good, you know.
Ron: I look good!
Dudley Dursley: [on Dudley's birthday] How many are there?
Uncle Vernon: 36, counted them myself.
Dudley Dursley: 36! But last year… last year I had 37!
Uncle Vernon: Yes, yes, but some of them are quite bigger than last year’s.
Dudley Dursley: I don’t care how big they are!
Sorting Hat: Hmm, difficult. VERY difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind, either. There’s talent, oh yes. And a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you?
Harry: Not Slytherin. Not Slytherin.
Sorting Hat: Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know. It’s all here in your head. And Slytherin can help you on your way to greatness, there’s no doubt about that. No?
Harry: Anything but Slytherin, anything but Slytherin.
Sorting Hat: Well if you’re sure, better be… GRYFFINDOR!
[Hagrid has just very aggressively knocked down the door where the Dursleys are staying]
Hagrid: [Calmly] Sorry ’bout that
[Picks door up and slams it back in place]
Sorting Hat: Ah! Another Weasley. I know just what to do with you… GRYFFINDOR!
[showing Harry the Golden Snitch]
Harry: I like this ball.
Oliver Wood: Ah, you like it now. Just wait. It’s wicked fast, and damn near impossible to see.
Harry: What do I do with it?
Oliver Wood: You catch it. Before the other team’s seeker. Catch this, and the game’s over. You catch this, Potter, and we win.
Seamus Finnigan: Eye of rabbit, heartstring hum, turn this water into rum.
[he checks the goblet, then tries again]
Harry: What’s Seamus trying to do to that glass of water?
Ron: Turn it into rum. He actually managed a weak tea yesterday! Before…
[explosion]
Professor McGonagall: Are the rumors true, Albus?
Dumbledore: I’m afraid so, Professor. The good… and the bad.
Hermione: Honestly, don’t you two read?
[Hagrid tells Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Draco to split into pairs and search the Dark Forest]
Draco Malfoy: Okay. Then I get Fang!
Hagrid: Fine. Just so you know, he’s a bloody coward.
[after seeing Ron's queen destroy Harry's knight]
Hermione: That’s totally barbaric!
Ron: That’s wizard’s chess.
Harry: Say, Percy, who’s that teacher talking to Professor Quirrell?
Percy Weasley: That’s Professor Snape, head of Slytherin House.
Harry: What does he teach?
Percy Weasley: Potions. But everyone knows it’s the Dark Arts he fancies. He’s been after Quirrell’s job for *years*.
Draco Malfoy: You’ll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter. You don’t want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there.
[he holds out his hand, which Harry doesn't take]
Harry: I think I can choose the wrong sort for myself, thanks.
Nearly Headless Nick: Hello! How are you? Welcome to Gryffindor!
Mr. Ollivander: The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter. It’s not always clear why.
Seamus Finnigan: [in Charms class] Wingard Leviosa. Wingar…
[BOOM]
Harry: I think we’re going to need another feather over here, professor.
[in King's Cross]
Hagrid: What are you lookin’ at?
Ron: [as the students sit in the Great Hall studying, Neville comes hopping in, his legs apparently stuck completely together] Leg-Locker Curse?
Harry: Malfoy.
Ron: You have *got* to start standing up to people, Neville.
Neville Longbottom: [wobbling uncontrollably] How? I can barely stand at all!
Seamus Finnigan: [Jumping up, wand at the ready] I’ll do the counter-curse!
Neville Longbottom: No, that’s all I need… you to set my bloody kneecaps on fire!
Seamus Finnigan: [Slamming his wand down] I don’t appreciate the insinuation, Longbottom. Besides, if anyone cares to notice, my eyebrows have grown completely back!
[Stalks off angrily, but not before showing that a large chunk of hair is missing from the back of his head]
Harry: I found him!
[hands Ron a Chocolate Frog card of Dumbledore]
Ron: ‘Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the Dark Wizard Grindelwald in 1945-’
Harry: Go on.
Ron: ‘-for his discovery of the 12 uses of Dragon’s Blood, and for his work on alchemy with his partner Nicolas Flamel!’
Harry: I knew the name sounded familiar, I read it on the train that day.
Hermione: [Beaming excitedly] Follow me!
[the Trio tears out of the Great Hall, leaving poor Neville still flailing around]
Neville Longbottom: Hey, wait, where are you going? What about the counter-curse?
[Before he can say another word he topples over backwards, sparking a fresh round of laughter from the other students]
George Weasley: [while sitting at the Gryffindor table, eating Christmas dinner] How do you like yours, Ron?
[Ron, however, keep glancing over at Harry, who is sitting far away from everyone else, staring into the fire, remembering the image of his parents from the Mirror of Erised]
George Weasley: Ron?
Ron: I’ll be right back.
[puts his utensils down and goes to Harry]
Ron: Wanna play chess?
Harry: No.
Ron: Wanna go and visit Hagrid?
Harry: No.
Ron: I know what you’re thinking Harry, but don’t. There’s something not right about that mirror.
[Harry merely nods in acknowledgement as Ron rejoins the other Gryffindors]
Ron: [mimicking Hermione] “It’s Levi-OOOOH-sa not LevioSAH.” She’s a nightmare, honestly. It’s no wonder she hasn’t got any friends!
[Hermione comes up from behind them and rushes past, in tears]
Harry: I think she heard you.
Ron: [looking for information about Nicholas Flamell] We’ve looked a hundred times.
Hermione: [leaning closer] Not in the restricted section. Happy Christmas.
Hermione: [putting a large book on the table] I checked this out weeks ago for a bit of light reading.
Ron: This is light?
Hagrid: If that dolt of a cousin of yours, Dudley, gets up to any mischief, you could always threaten him with a nice pair of ears, to go with that tail.
Harry: But, Hagrid, we’re not allowed to do magic outside Hogwarts. You know that.
Hagrid: I know that, but your cousin don’t, do he?
[last lines]
Hermione: It seems strange to be going home, doesn’t it?
Harry: [looking at Hagrid] I’m not going home… not really.
[first lines]
Professor McGonagall: [as a cat] Mraow!
Dumbledore: I should have known that you would be here, Professor McGonagall.
[Professor McGonagall transfigures into her human self]
[after catching Harry scribbling on his paper]
Professor Severus Snape: Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?
[Harry doesn't answer]
Professor Severus Snape: You don’t know? Well, let’s try again… Where, Mr. Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?
Harry: I don’t know, sir.
Professor Severus Snape: And what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?
Harry: I don’t know, sir.
Professor Severus Snape: Pity… clearly, fame isn’t everything, is it, Mr. Potter?
[Harry trying to get Neville's Rememberall]
Harry: Give it here, Malfoy or I’ll knock you off your broom!
Draco Malfoy: Is that so?
Harry: [Harry makes a grab for Malfoy but Malfoy moves]
Draco Malfoy: Have it your way then.
[Malfoy throws the Rememberall]
Hermione: You’ve got dirt on your nose. Did you know? Just there.
Hermione: Are you sure that’s a real spell? Well, it’s not very good, is it?
Sorting Hat: Another Weasley hey? I know just what to do with you… GRYFFINDOR!
Draco Malfoy: Wait till my father hears about this! This is servant’s stuff!
Harry: If I didn’t know any better, Draco, I’d say you were scared.
Draco Malfoy: I’m not scared, Potter!
[howling noise]
Draco Malfoy: Did you hear that?
Harry: [calls the dog] Come on, Fang!
Dumbledore: Silence!
Lord Voldemort: Harry Potter. We meet again.
Harry: Voldemort?
Lord Voldemort: Yes. You see what I’ve become? See what I must do to survive? Live off another, a mere parasite! Unicorn blood can sustain me, but it cannot give me a body of my own. But there is something again; something that, conveniently enough, lies in your pocket!

Plot summary for
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) More at IMDbPro »

Forced to spend his summer holidays with his muggle relations, Harry Potter gets a real shock when he gets a surprise visitor: Dobby the house-elf, who warns Harry Potter against returning to Hogwarts, for terrible things are going to happen. Harry decides to ignore Dobby’s warning and continues with his pre-arranged schedule. But at Hogwarts, strange and terrible things are indeed happening: Harry is suddenly hearing mysterious voices from inside the walls, muggle-born students are being attacked, and a message scrawled on the wall in blood puts everyone on his/her guard – “The Chamber Of Secrets Has Been Opened. Enemies Of The Heir, Beware” . Written by Soumitra

It’s Year 2 at Hogwarts, and Harry Potter (Radcliffe), Ron (Grint) and Hermione (Watson) are back learning, but their year doesn’t go past quietly. Members of the school are turning up petrified and bloody writing are appearing on the walls, revealing to everyone, that someone has opened the chamber of secrets. The attacks continue, bringing the possibility of the closure of Hogwarts. Harry and his friends are now forced to secretly uncover the truth about the chamber before the school closes or any lives are taken. Written by Film_Fan

Harry Potter is in his second year of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. He is visited by a house-elf named Dobby and warned not to go back to Hogwarts. Harry ignores his warning, and returns. He is still famous, although still disliked by Snape, Malfoy, and the rest of the Slytherins. But then, strange things start to happen. People are becoming petrified, and no-one knows what is doing it. Harry keeps hearing a voice.. a voice which seems to be coming from within the walls. They are told the story of the Chamber of Secrets. It is said that only Salazar Slytherin’s true descendent will be able to open it. Harry, it turns out, is a Parsel-tongue. This means that he is able to speak/understand snakes. Everyone thinks that it’s him that has opened the Chamber of Secrets because that is what Slytherin was famous for. Written by Sarah

Harry Potter’s adventures continue…Harry Potter begins his second year at Hogwarts School of Wizardry, but is warned by a mysterious creature that danger awaits him at the school. Malevolent voices whisper from the walls. Soon it’s not just Harry who is worried about survival, as dreadful things begin to happen at Hogwarts. Written by Kateway

Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts School of Wizardry for his second year. After a confrontation with a house elf named Dobby, Harry escapes to the Weasley house with Ron Weasley in a flying car. They are then late for the train and have to ride it to school. When they get there, strange happenings invade the school. “Mudbloods” (people of Muggle families) are “petrified” by an evil monster lurking in the grounds. When every one suspects that it is him, the trio then set out to find the culprit and find out more than they bargained for: the diary of Tom Riddle, why Hagrid was expelled and what the Chamber of Secrets is and why is it so feared in Hogwarts. Written by Michael Johnston {highoncaffiene@hotmail.com}

Synopsis for
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) More at IMDbPro »

A few days later, Fred, George (James and Oliver Phelps) and Ron Weasley come to his rescue in their father’s enchanted Ford Anglia. After a pleasant summer together in the the Weasley house, everyone heads to Platform 9¾ to take the Hogwarts Express back to school. To their shock, Harry and Ron are unable to enter the barrier between platforms 9 and 10. In desperation, they fly to Hogwarts in the car, crashing into the Whomping Willow and damaging Ron’s wand. The semi-sentient car ejects them and their belongings and disappears into the Forbidden Forest.

Harry soon finds he is the unwanted centre of attention of three people: the vain new Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor, Gilderoy Lockhart (Kenneth Branagh), admirer Colin Creevey (Hugh Mitchell), and Ron’s sister, Ginny Weasley (Bonnie Wright), who fancies Harry. Events take a turn for the worse when the Chamber of Secrets is opened and a monster stalks the castle, with the power literally to petrify several students. According to legend, the Chamber was built by Salazar Slytherin and can only be opened by his heir, in order to purge Hogwarts of students who are not pure-blood wizards. Many suspect Harry is the Heir of Slytherin, especially after he inadvertently speaks Parseltongue (the language of snakes), a rare ability Harry gained after Voldemort’s murderous attack upon him when he was an infant.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione attempt to discover the Heir of Slytherin’s true identity. Using Polyjuice Potion brewed by Hermione, they disguise themselves as Slytherin students, Crabbe (Jamie Waylett) and Goyle (Josh Herman), hoping to learn from Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) the identity of the Heir. Malfoy, they learn, does not know who the Heir of Slytherin is, but he inadvertently provides Harry and Ron with an important clue about the Chamber of Secrets.

Unfortunately, the hair that Hermione took from Millicent Bullstrode’s uniform was from a cat, and as the polyjuice potion is only intended for human transformations she assumes a feline appearance; it takes a little more than a month to restore her normal human form. During her time in the hospital wing, the shades are pulled around Hermione’s bed so that she does not have to endure the shame and humiliation of being stared at by other students, with rumours going around about her disappearance, and Harry and Ron bring Hermione her homework at her request. She is released from the hospital wing in early February, her normal appearance restored, and looks over the diary of Tom Riddle (Christian Coulson) when Harry shows it to her, but she cannot make much of it.

The attacks increase throughout the year, petrifying more students, including Hermione. Most horribly, a message written on a wall declares that Ginny Weasley has been taken into the Chamber, where “her skeleton will lie forever.”

With the help of Ron and Moaning Myrtle (Shirley Henderson), Harry discovers the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets. They force Gilderoy Lockhart, a fraud who wipes clean other wizards’ memories and claims their achievements, to go with them. Once they find the entrance to the Chamber, Lockhart attempts to use Ron’s broken wand to erase Harry and Ron’s memories, but the spell backfires on to himself and brings the ceiling caving in, separating Harry from Ron and Lockhart. Lockhart revives, but has now lost his own memory.

Harry makes it to the Chamber where he finds an unconscious Ginny. He also meets a young man named Tom Riddle, who claims to be a “memory”. Harry learns that Ginny, under the control of Lord Voldemort, opened the Chamber. Voldemort, whose real name is Tom Marvolo Riddle (the anagram of which is “I am Lord Voldemort”), imprinted his memory in an enchanted diary, in order to one day continue the work he began when he reopened the Chamber fifty years ago ridding Hogwarts of non-pureblood witches and wizards. It was Hagrid, a Hogwarts student at the time, who was blamed for the attacks and expelled.

Tom Riddle’s memory grows more powerful as it steals life from Ginny’s body, and it tries to kill Harry by setting loose a basilisk (the monster responsible for petrifying the students). But Dumbledore’s (Richard Harris) phoenix, Fawkes, arrives carrying the Sorting Hat, from which Harry draws out the sword of Godric Gryffindor. Fawkes blinds the basilisk, destroying its fatal gaze, and Harry slays it with the sword. In attempting to slay the basilisk Harry’s arm has been pierced by the creature’s fang. Harry seems to be dying quickly from the venom but Fawkes comes to heal Harry with his tears (phoenix tears have healing power). Harry stabs the diary with one of the basilisk’s fangs, and the memory of Riddle is destroyed, while Ginny revives from her near-death state. She recovers fully, along with Hermione, Mrs Norris, Justin Finch-Fletchley, Nearly Headless Nick (John Cleese), Colin Creevey, Penelope Clearwater and the other students who were petrified.

Harry realises it was Lucius Malfoy (Jason Isaacs), Draco Malfoy’s father, who slipped the diary into Ginny’s cauldron when he encountered the Weasleys in a Diagon Alley bookshop, but he is unable to prove it. Dobby reveals he is the Malfoys’ servant, and knowing their treachery, had been trying to protect Harry all year. In gratitude, Harry wraps the diary in one of his old socks and hands it to Lucius. Lucius throws away the sock, but Dobby catches it. This constitutes, in Dobby’s eyes, a gift of clothing the traditional manner in which a master frees a house-elf from servitude. The freed Dobby declares he is eternally grateful to Harry and protects him from an attempted reprisal from Lucius. In the film of the same name the word “Avada” is used as the beginning of Lucius Malfoy’s curse, suggesting that it is the Avada Kedavra (the killing curse). This is not mentioned in the novel.

Dumbledore dispels Harry’s fears that he could have been put into Slytherin rather than into Gryffindor when he tells Harry that it is his choices that define him and not his abilities, and that Harry could not have wielded the sword of Gryffindor if he did not truly belong to that house.

Ron: “Follow the spiders.” Why couldn’t it be “follow the butterflies”?
[after using a spell to mend Harry's broken arm, Lockhart inadvertently removes all the bones in it]
Gilderoy Lockhart: Ah… well, yes, that can sometimes happen. But as you can see, the bone is no longer broken.
Hagrid: Broken? There’s no bones left!
Gilderoy Lockhart: Much more flexible, though.
Lucius Malfoy: Mr. Potter! Lucius Malfoy. We meet at last. Forgive me, your scar is ledgend. As, of course, is the wizard who gave it to you.
Harry: Voldemort killed my parents. He was nothing more than a murderer.
Lucius Malfoy: You must be very brave to mention his name. Or very foolish…
Hermione: Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.
Lucius Malfoy: And you must be Miss. Granger. Yes, Draco’s told me all about you. And your parents. Muggles, aren’t they? Let me see. Red hair… vacant expressions… tatty second hand books… you must be the Weasleys.
Arthur Weasley: Children, it’s mad in here. Let’s wait outside.
Lucius Malfoy: Well, well, well. Weasley senior.
Arthur Weasley: Lucius.
Lucius Malfoy: Busy time at the Ministry, Arthur, all those extra raids. I do hope they’re paying you overtime. Although judging by the state of this, I’d say not. What’s the use of being a disgrace to the name of wizard if they don’t even pay you well for it?
Arthur Weasley: We have a very different idea of what disgraces the name of wizard, Malfoy.
Lucius Malfoy: Clearly. Associating with muggles. And I thought your family could sink no lower.
Ron: They were starving him, Mum! There were bars on his window!
Mrs. Weasley: You’d best hope I don’t put bars on your window, Ronald Weasley!
Draco Malfoy: [to Harry, disguised as Goyle] Why are you wearing glasses?
Goyle: Oh, uh… reading.
Draco Malfoy: Reading? I didn’t know you could read.
Gilderoy Lockhart: [whilst flying out of the Chamber of Secrets with Fawkes, Harry, Ron, and Ginny] AMAZING! This is just like magic!
Harry: Promise me something.
Dobby: Anything, sir.
Harry: Never try to save my life again.
Ron: 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?
Harry: We know one thing. Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets. He was innocent.
Harry: Not to be rude or anything, but this isn’t a great time for me to have a house elf in my bedroom.
Dumbledore: It is not our abilities that show what we truly are. It is our choices.
Mrs. Weasley: *Your* sons flew that enchanted car of yours to Surrey and back last night.
Arthur Weasley: [to the boys] Did you really? How did it go?
[after Mrs. Weasley hits him]
Arthur Weasley: I mean, that was very wrong indeed, boys. Very wrong of you.
Prof. Sprout: Oh, Longbottom’s been neglecting his earmuffs.
Seamus Finnigan: No, ma’am, he’s fainted.
Prof. Sprout: [pauses and sighs] Yes, well, just leave him there.
Gilderoy Lockhart: Hello. Who are you?
Ron: …Ron Weasley.
Gilderoy Lockhart: Really! And… who am I?
Ron: Lockhart’s memory charm backfired! He hasn’t got a clue who he is!
Gilderoy Lockhart: It’s an odd sort of place, this, isn’t it? Do you live here?
Ron: No.
[knocks Lockhart unconscious with a rock]
Moaning Myrtle: Oh, Harry? If you die down there, you’re welcome to share my toilet.
Harry: Uh… thanks, Myrtle.
Oliver Wood: I don’t believe it! Where do you think you’re going, Flint?
Marcus Flint: Qudditch practice!
Oliver Wood: But I booked the pitch for Gryffindor today.
Marcus Flint: Easy, Wood. I’ve got a note.
Oliver Wood: “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 steps out from behind the crowd]
Harry Potter: Malfoy?
Draco Malfoy: Thats right. And that’s not all that’s new this year.
[Shows everyone the new brooms]
Ron: Those are Nimbus Two-Thousand and Ones! How’d you get those?
Marcus Flint: A gift from Draco’s father.
Draco Malfoy: You see, Weasley, unlike some, my father can afford the best.
Hermione Granger: At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in. They got in on pure talent.
Draco Malfoy: No one asked your opinion you filthy little Mudblood!
Ron: You’ll pay for that one Malfoy! Eat slugs!
[Ron 's jinx backfires, hitting him in his chest and knocking him several feet backwards. The Gryffindor team and Hermione run to his side]
Hermione Granger: Are you ok Ron? Say something!
[Ron opens his mouth and coughs up a huge slug as Colin Creevey begins snapping away with his camera]
Colin Creevey: Wow! Can you turn him around Harry?
Harry Potter: No Colin! Get out of the way!
Neville Longbottom: Why is it always me?
Hermione: He called me a mudblood.
Hagrid: He did not!
Harry: What’s a mudblood?
Hermione: It means dirty blood. Mudblood’s a really 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.
Hagrid: See the thing is, Harry, there are some wizards, like the Malfoy family, who think they’re better than others because they’re what people call “pure blood.”
Harry: That’s horrible!
Ron: [burps up another slug] It’s disgusting.
Hagrid: And it’s codswallop to boot. “Dirty blood.” Why, there isn’t a wizard alive today who’s not half-blood or less. More to the point, they’ve yet to think of a spell that our Hermione can’t do. Don’t you think on it, Hermione. Don’t you think on it for one minute.
[as Ron burps up slugs]
Hagrid: This calls for specialist equipment.
[hands Ron a bucket]
Hagrid: Nothing to do but wait till it stops, I’m afraid. Better out than in.
Ron: It’s not much, but it’s home.
Harry: I think it’s brilliant.
Draco Malfoy: “Enemies of the Heir Beware”? You’ll be next, mudbloods.
Hermione: Professor, I was wondering if you could tell us about the Chamber of Secrets.
Professor Minerva McGonagall: Oh, 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 Huffelpuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. Now three of the founders co-existed quite harmoniously. One did not.
Ron: Three guesses who.
Professor Minerva McGonagall: 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.
Hermione: Muggle borns.
Professor Minerva McGonagall: Well naturally the school has been searched many times. No such chamber has been found.
Ron: Do you think it’s true? Do you think there really is a Chamber of Secrets?
Hermione: Yes. Couldn’t you tell McGonagall’s worried? All the teachers are.
Harry: But if there really is a Chamber of Secrets, and it really has been opened, then that means…
Hermione: The heir of Slytherin has returned to Hogwarts. The question is; who is it?
Ron: [sarcastically] Let’s think. Who do we know who thinks all muggle borns are scum?
Hermione: If you’re talking about Malfoy…
Ron: Of course! You heard him – ‘you’ll be next mudbloods’.
Hermione: I heard him. But Malfoy, the heir of Slytherin?
Ron: You’re a parselmouth! Why didn’t you tell us?
Harry: I’m a what?
Hermione: You can talk to snakes!
Harry: I know. I accidentally set a python on my cousin Dudley at the zoo once. But so what? I bet loads of people here can do it.
Hermione: No, they can’t! It’s not a very common gift Harry. This is bad.
Harry: What’s bad? If I hadn’t told that snake not to attack Justin…
Ron: Oh, that’s what you said to it?
Harry: You were there! You heard me!
Ron: I head you speaking parseltongue. Snake language.
Harry: I spoke a different language? But I didn’t realize… how can speak a language without knowing I can?
Hermione: I don’t know, Harry, 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.
Ron: Exactly! Now the whole school is gonna think you’re his great-great-great-grandson or something.
Harry: But I’m not!
Hermione: He lived a thousand years ago. For all we know, you could be.
Ron: Eugh… essence of Crabbe…
Draco Malfoy: My father did say this; it’s been fifty years since the chamber has been 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 its Granger.
Hagrid: What are you doing here? Get outta my house!
Lucius Malfoy: Believe me, I take absolutely no pleasure being inside your…
[looks around, disgusted]
Lucius Malfoy: You call this a house?
Dumbledore: You will find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.
Lucius Malfoy: Admirable sentiments. Shall we?
Hagrid: And I just wanna say, if anybody was looking for some stuff, then all they’d have to do would be to follow the spiders.
Ron: Where’s Hermione when you need her?
Harry: I wish you were here, Hermione. We need you. Now more than ever.
Harry: Remember what Aragog said about that girl? She died in a bathroom. What if she never left?
Ron: Moaning Myrtle!
Dumbledore: You both realize, of course, that in the past few hours you have broken perhaps a dozen school rules.
Harry, Ron: Yes, sir.
Dumbledore: And that there is sufficient evidence to have you both expelled.
Harry, Ron: Yes, sir.
Dumbledore: Therefore, it is only fitting that you both receive…
[beams]
Dumbledore: Special awards for services to the school.
Lucius Malfoy: So it’s true. You have returned.
Dumbledore: When the governors learned that Arthur Weasley’s daughter was taken into the chamber, they saw fit to summon me back.
Lucius Malfoy: Ridiculous!
Dumbledore: Curiously, Lucius, several of them were under the impressions that you would curse their families if they did not agree to suspend me in the first place.
Harry: [speaking to Ron and Hermione] I’ll see you back in the Common Room.
[getting up hastily and walking out, staring angrily right back at all the eyes on him as he leaves. A group of Hufflepuff students continue their discussion, unaware that Harry is listening from behind the wall]
Ernie MacMillan: So anyway, I told Justin to hide up in our dormitory. I mean to say, if Potter’s marked him as his next victim, it’s best he keeps a low profile for awhile.
Hannah Abbott: But why would Harry want to attack Justin?
Ernie MacMillan: Justin told me that he’d let slip to Potter that he was Muggle-born.
Hannah Abbott: And you really think Potter’s the Heir of Slytherin?
Ernie MacMillan: Hannah, he’s a Parselmouth. Everyone knows that’s the mark of a dark wizard. Have you ever heard of a decent one who can talk to snakes? They called Slytherin himself “Serpent Tongue”.
Hannah Abbott: Harry’s always seemed so nice, though. And after all, he is the one who made You-Know-Who disappear.
Ernie MacMillan: That’s probably why You-Know-Who wanted him to kill him in the first place. Didn’t want another Dark Lord competing with him.
Harry: You’re Aragog, aren’t you?
Aragog: Hagrid has never sent men into our hollow before.
Harry: Hagrid’s in trouble. Up at the school there’ve been attacks. They think its Hagrid. They think he opened the Chamber of Secrets, like before.
Aragog: That’s a lie! Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets!
Harry: Then you’re not the monster?
Aragog: No! The monster was born in the castle. I came to Hagrid from a distant land, in the pocket of a traveler.
Harry: If you’re not the monster, then what did kill that girl 50 years ago?
Aragog: We do not speak of it! It is an ancient creature we spiders fear above all others.
Harry: But have you seen it?
Aragog: 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: Well… thank you. We’ll just go…
Aragog: 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.
Ron: Can we panic now?
Uncle Vernon: And Dudley, you will be?
Dudley Dursley: I’ll be waiting to open the door.
Uncle Vernon: Excellent. And you?
Harry: I’ll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending I don’t exist.
[first lines]
[Hedwig wants to be let out of her cage]
Harry: I can’t let you out, Hedwig! I’m not allowed to use magic outside of school. Besides, if Uncle Vernon…
Uncle Vernon: [yells] Harry Potter!
Harry: Now you’ve done it.
[last lines]
Hagrid: I’d just like to say that, if it hadn’t been for you Harry, and Ron and Hermione of course, I would… I’d still be You-Know-Where. So I’d just like to say thanks.
Harry: There’s no Hogwarts without you, Hagrid.
Tom Marvolo Riddle: Funny, the damage a silly little book can do, especially in the hands of a silly little girl.
Tom Marvolo Riddle: [rounding on Harry] 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?
Harry: Why do you care how I escaped? Voldemort was after your time!
Tom Marvolo Riddle: Voldemort is my past, present, and future.
Arthur Weasley: Now, Harry you must know all about Muggles, tell me, what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?
Ron: [in high voice] My wand. Look at my wand.
Harry: Be thankful it’s not your neck.
Ron: [spellotaping his broken wand] Say it, I’m doomed.
Harry: You’re doomed.
Ron: Dad loves muggles, he thinks they’re fascinating.
Hermione: It’s a bit strange, isn’t it?
Harry: Strange?
Hermione: You hear this voice, a voice only you can hear, and then Mrs. Norris turns up petrified? It’s just… strange.
Harry: Do you think I should have told them then? Dumbledore and the others, I mean.
Ron: Are you mad?
Hermione: No, Harry. Even in the wizarding world, hearing voices isn’t a good sign.
Moaning Myrtle: I’m Moaning Myrtle! I wouldn’t expect you to know me! Who would ever want to talk about ugly, miserable, moping, Moaning Myrtle? AHHHHHHHHHH!
[she lets out a piercing shriek and dive-bombs into one of the toilets, disappearing with a splash]
Hermione: She’s a little sensitive.
Harry: You’d better clear out before my bones grow back, or else I might strangle you.
Dobby: [jumps off the bed] Dobby is used to death threats, he gets them five times a day at home.
Harry: It’s a snake skin.
Ron: Bloody hell. Whoever shed this must be 60 feet long, or more.
[Gilderoy Lockhart passes out]
Ron: [to Harry] Heart of a lion, this one.
Draco Malfoy: Training for the ballet, Potter?
Hermione: Look, Hagrid’s our friend, why don’t we just go and ask him about it?
Ron: Oh, that’d be a cheerful visit. “Hello Hagrid! Tell us, have you been setting anything mad and hairy loose in the castle lately?”
[Hagrid has walked up behind them]
Hagrid: Mad and hairy? You wouldn’t be talkin’ about me, now would ya?
Hermione, Ron, Harry: No.
Lucius Malfoy: Let us hope that Mr. Potter will always be around to save the day.
Harry: Don’t worry. I will be.
Draco Malfoy: Scared, Potter?
Harry: You wish.
Filch: Well, I’d take a good look lads. This night might be the last you spend in this castle. Oh dear, we are in trouble.
Harry: Ron, I should tell you, most Muggles aren’t accustomed to seeing a flying car.
[to Tom Riddle]
Harry: [smiling] I bet Dumbledore saw right through you.
Tom Marvolo Riddle: He certainly kept an annoyingly close watch on me after that!
[walks around Harry]
Tom Marvolo Riddle: I knew it wouldn’t be safe to open the Chamber again while I was still at school so I decided to leave behind a Diary, preserving by 16-year old self in its pages so that ond day, I would be able to lead another to finish Salazar Slytherin’s noble work!
Harry: It was you. You’re the Heir of Slytherin. You’re Voldemort.
Tom Marvolo Riddle: Surely you didn’t think I would keep my filthy Muggle father’s name, did you? Keep the name of a man who abandoned my mother when he found out when she was a witch? No, Harry, I fashioned a new name for myself, a name that one day all wizards would be afraid to speak, when I became the greatest sorcerer in the world!
Harry: Albus Dumbledore is the greatest sorcerer in the world!
Tom Marvolo Riddle: Dumbledore has been driven out of this castle by the mere memory of me!
The Sorting Hat: Bee in your bonnet, Potter?
Harry: I was just wondering, whether you put me into the right house?
The Sorting Hat: Yes, you were particularly difficult to place, but I stand by what I said last year: You would have done well in Slytherin.
Harry: You’re wrong.
Harry: But I haven’t received any messages, from any of my friends. Not one, all summer.
Dudley Dursley: Who’d want to be friends with you?
[whether or not Malfoy is the Heir of Slytherin]
Ron: Maybe we could trick them into telling.
Hermione: Even THEY aren’t that thick.
Ginny: Mummy, have you seen my jumper?
Mrs. Weasley: Yes dear, it was on the cat.
Mrs. Weasley: Now don’t forget to speak very, very clearly.
Harry: Diagonally.
[Harry vanishes]
Mrs. Weasley: What did he say dear?
Arthur Weasley: Diagonally.
Mrs. Weasley: I thought he did.
Gilderoy Lockhart: Harry, Harry, Harry. Can you possibly imagine a better way to serve detention, than by helping me answer my fan mail?
Harry: Not really.
Gilderoy Lockhart: Fame is a fickle friend Harry. Celebrity is as celebrity does. Remember that.
Gilderoy Lockhart: Let’s have a pair get up and practice. Potter, Weasley, how about you?
Professor Snape: Weasley’s wand causes devastation with the simplest spells. We’ll be sending what’s left of Potter to the hospital wing in a matchbox.
Harry: Your bird, there was nothing I could do. He just caught fire.
Dumbledore: Oh, and about time too. He’s been looking dreadful for days. Pity you had to see him on a burning day.
Harry: You’re running away? After all that stuff you did in your books?
Gilderoy Lockhart: Books can be misleading…
Harry: You wrote them!
Gilderoy Lockhart: My dear boy, do use your common sense! My books wouldn’t have sold half as well if people didn’t think *I’d* done all those things!
[after Harry pushes him down into the Chamber]
Gilderoy Lockhart: It’s really quite filthy down here.
[Snape blasts Lockhart off his feet in a practice duel]
Hermione: Do you think he’s all right?
Ron: Who cares?
Fred Weasley: Look, it’s the heir of Slytherin!
George Weasley: Look out! He’s a seriously evil wizard.
Ron: Oh, come on, Harry. Fred and George were just having a laugh.
Harry: They’re the only ones.
Ron: Okay, so half the school thinks you’ve been opening the Chamber of Secrets every night. Who cares?
Harry: Maybe they’re right.
Hermione: Harry! Harry? Oh, come on!
Harry: Look, I didn’t know I could speak Parseltongue! What else don’t I know about myself? Look. Maybe you can do something – -something so horrible and not know you did it.
Hermione: 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.
Ron: Why would that make anyone feel any better?
Hermione: 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.
Tom Marvolo Riddle: So this is what Dumbledore sends his great defender. A songbird and an old hat.
Tom Marvolo Riddle: Let’s match the powers of Lord Voldemort, Heir of Salazar Slytherin, against the famous Harry Potter.
Gilderoy Lockhart: Professor Dumbledore has granted me permission to start this little dueling club, to train you all up, in case you ever need to protect yourself, as I myself have done on countless occasions. For full details, see my published works.
Hermione: Look at my face.
Ron: Look at your tail.
[after the attack on Mrs. Norris]
Professor Snape: If I might, Headmaster. Perhaps Potter and his friends were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, the circumstances are suspicious. I, for one, don’t recall seeing Potter at dinner.
Gilderoy Lockhart: That was my doing, Severus. You see, Harry was helping me answer my fan mail.
Gilderoy Lockhart: Let me introduce 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 time winner of Witch Weekly’s Most Charming Smile Award. But I don’t talk about that; I didn’t get rid of the Banden Banshee by smiling at him.
[after Lockhart reveals his ineptness at fighting the Dark Arts]
Ron: Is there anything you CAN do?
Gilderoy Lockhart: Yes, now that you mention it. I’m rather gifted with Memory Charms. Otherwise, all those wizards would have gone blabbing. I’d have never sold another book.
Tom Marvolo Riddle: Haven’t I told you? Killing Mudbloods doesn’t matter to me any more. For many months now, my new target has been you.
[Crabbe and Goyle eat the floating Sleeping Draught cupcakes]
Ron: How thick can you get?
Professor Snape: 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 Whomping Willow, that’s been on these grounds since before you were born!
Ron: Honestly, Professor Snape, I think it did more damage to us.
Professor Snape: 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!
Ron: Have you spoken to Hermione?
Harry: She should be out of hospital in a few days… when she stops coughing up fur balls.
[Harry and Ron are staring at each other after changing into Crabbe and Goyle]
Ron: [in own voice] Bloody Hell!
Harry: We still sound like ourselves. You’ve got to sound more like Crabbe.
Ron: [in lower voice] Um… Bloody hell
Harry: Excellent.
Ron: Enlighten me. Why are we brewing this potion in broad daylight, in the middle of a girls lavatory? Don’t you think we’ll get caught?
Hermione: No. No one ever comes in here.
Ron: Why?
Hermione: Moaning Myrtle.
Howler (Mrs. Weasley): 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! Oh and Ginny, dear, congratulations on making it into Gryffindor. Your father and I are *so* proud.
[sticks out its ribbon "tongue" at Ron and tears itself up]
Moaning Myrtle: …Here I am, minding my own business, and someone thinks it’s funny to throw a book at me.
Ron: But, it can’t hurt if someone throws something at you. I mean, it would just go right through you.
Moaning Myrtle: [swooping down towards Ron] Sure! Let’s all throw books at Myrtle, because she can’t FEEL it! Ten points if you get it in her stomach!
[punches Ron in stomach]
Moaning Myrtle: Fifty points if it goes through her HEAD!
[punches Ron in head]
Oliver Wood: If we play our game Hufflepuff don’t stand a chance. We’re stronger, quicker and smarter.
Fred Weasley: Not to mention they’re dead scared Harry’ll petrify them if they fly anywhere near him.
Fred Weasley: That too.
Harry: [writing inside Tom Riddle's diary] My name is Harry Potter.
[the words disappear, then other words appear in the diary]
Tom Marvolo Riddle: Hello, Harry Potter, my name is Tom Riddle.
Harry: [writing] Do you know anything about the Chamber of Secrets?
Tom Marvolo Riddle: [word appears] Yes…
Harry: Can you tell me?
Tom Marvolo Riddle: No…
[Harry sighs in frustration, but then sees the next words, and get excited]
Tom Marvolo Riddle: But I can show you… Let me take you back 50 years ago… 13th June.
[the pages turn to this date, then Harry is swept inside the diary]
Draco Malfoy: Father always said that Dumbledore was the worst thing that ever happened to this place.
Harry: [disguised as Goyle] You’re wrong!
Draco Malfoy: What? You think there is someone here who’s worse than Dumbledore? Well? Do you?
Harry: [disguised as Goyle] … Harry Potter?
Draco Malfoy: Good one, Goyle. You’re absolutely right.
Dobby: Dobby is… free.
Ron: If it kills by looking people in the eye, how is it no one’s died yet?
Harry: Because no one did look it in the eye. Not directly, at least. Colin saw it through his camera. Justin must’ve seen it through Nearly Headless Nick. Nick got the full blast of it, but he’s a ghost; he couldn’t die again. Hermione… had the mirror! I bet you anything she was using it to look around corners in case it came along.
Ron: And Mrs. Norris? I’m pretty sure she didn’t have a camera or a mirror, Harry.
Harry: The water. There was water on the floor that night. She only saw the Basilisk’s reflection.
Gilderoy Lockhart: Spooky how the time flies when one’s having fun.
Harry: …Spooky…
Harry Potter: It’s alright Ginny, It’s over. It’s just a memory…
Arthur Weasley: What is the function of a rubber duck?
[Tom watches wizards carry a dead female student away when... ]
Dumbledore: Riddle.
Tom Marvolo Riddle: [looks upstairs and sees Dumbledore, who is fifty years younger] Professor Dumbledore.
Dumbledore: It’s not wise to be wandering around this late, Tom.
Tom Marvolo Riddle: Yes, Professor. I suppose I-I just had to see for myself if… the rumors were true.
Dumbledore: I’m afraid they are, Tom.
Tom Marvolo Riddle: About the school, as well? They wouldn’t really close Hogwarts, would they, Professor?
Dumbledore: Headmaster Dippet may have no choice, I fear.
Tom Marvolo Riddle: Sir? If it all stopped. If the person responsible was caught…
Dumbledore: Is there something you wish to tell me, Tom?
Tom Marvolo Riddle: [a long beat] No, sir. Nothing.
Dumbledore: [he examines Riddle, but then shrugs it off] Very well, then. Hurry along.
Tom Marvolo Riddle: Goodnight, sir.
[runs off]
[repeated line when Dobby is beating himself up and making noise]
Harry: Dobby, *stop!*

Plot summary for
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) More at IMDbPro »

Harry Potter is having a tough time with his relatives (yet again). He runs away after using magic to blow Uncle Vernon’s sister Marge who was being offensive towards Harry’s parents. Initially scared for using magic outside the school, he is pleasantly surprised that he won’t be penalized after all. However, he soon learns that a dangerous criminal and Voldemort’s trusted aide Sirius Black has escaped from the Azkaban prison and wants to kill Harry to avenge the Dark Lord. To worsen the conditions for Harry, vile shape-shifters called Dementors are appointed to guard the school gates and inexplicably happen to have the most horrible effect on him. Little does Harry know that by the end of this year, many holes in his past (whatever he knows of it) will be filled up and he will have a clearer vision of what the future has in store… Written by Soumitra

In the summer before his third year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter becomes fed up with his horrible aunt and uncle, and after accidentally inflating his visiting aunt Marge, he runs away.

Black is known as Lord Voldemort’s most devoted follower, and he’s after Harry to avenge Voldemort and finish the job. But not everything is what it seems, and inside of Hogwarts there may just be a traitor… Written by Esamey

“He’s at Hogwarts. He’s at Hogwarts.” The infamous Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban Prison and all sources believe he’s after Harry Potter’s life. What connection could there be between Harry’s past and this crazed murderer? Can Harry figure it out before Black gets to him? And why does Mr. Weasley think Harry may want to find Black first? A shocking insight to a night 12 years ago. Written by Trinka

Harry’s life is in mortal danger yet again, this time more than ever. First, a killer named Sirus Black has escaped from Azkaban Prison, and it seems that he broke out just to finish what his master wanted to do 13 years ago: kill Harry Potter!. Also, for Harry’s protection, Azkaban has sent hundreds of Dementors to guard Hogwarts in an attempt to catch Black. But will they turn out to be a great help or a big mistake? Written by Prince

Approaching his third year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter has had enough of his muggle relatives. He runs away from them (finally) and enters his third term facing trouble from more than one side: for using magic outside the school and from the news that a notorious criminal, serial killer Sirius Black, has escaped the wizard’s prison at Azkaban and apparently is headed for Harry. The school calls in supernatural help against Black in the form of Dementors, but unusual things continue to put Harry in peril. He is thrown into a confusing panoply of shifting alliegences and shifting shapes where nobody is who or what they seem. Who is the real criminal? What is the real crime? Who is telling or knows the truth? Written by Anonymous

Synopsis for
Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004) More at IMDbPro »

It opens at the Dursleys’ home where Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) lives and is staying, as usual, during the summer holidays. Uncle Vernon’s (Richard Griffiths) sister Marge (Pam Ferris) comes to visit and treats Harry with general contempt. She viciously insults him and his parents, angering Harry who unwittingly uses his innate magical powers to cause her to inflate, and float off, out of the Dursleys’ house and into the twilight. Harry flees the Dursleys’ home, furious. At first he walks with determination but soon grinds to a stop as he realises he hasn’t anywhere to go. He sits down at the edge of the road with his trunk. His surroundings stir as the wind picks up and a street lamp flickers above him. A jet black dog emerges from the bushes opposite, growling at him and he raises his wand. At that instant however, the eccentric Knight Bus, for lost witches or wizards, makes a sharp appearance and escorts Harry on a wacky journey to the wizards’ pub ‘The Leaky Cauldron.’ While there, Harry learns that Sirius Black (Gary Oldman), an alleged supporter of Lord Voldemort, the dark wizard, has escaped from Azkaban prison. Harry must meet the Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge (Robert Hardy) and he fears expulsion from Hogwarts for his using of under-age magic out of school. However, the matter is surprisingly dropped as “…the Ministry doesn’t send students to Azkaban for blowing up their aunts.” While at The Leaky Cauldron Harry also reconvenes with his two best friends, Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Grainger (Emma Watson), and the rest of the Weasley family. Mr. Arthur Weasley (Mark Williams) pulls Harry to one side to warn him about Sirius Black. He suggests that Harry needs to be cautious of Sirius Black due his allegiance with Voldemort. He believes that Harry is the only thing which stands in the way of Voldemort returning to power and that it is on this premise that Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban. To find and kill Harry Potter.

Harry, Ron and Hermione board the train to Hogwarts, discovering in their compartment the sleeping Professor Remus Lupin (David Thewlis) who is to be the new ‘Defence Against the Dark Arts’ teacher. Harry airs his concerns about Black’s escape and his possible objective to Ron and Hermione. Tension builds during their discussion however as the train is stopped on a bridge and the lights pop out in each cabin. Ron peers out of the window, concerned that “…there is something out there.” The train is violently jolted and a great cold descends around them, ice creeping over the windows. In the corridor outside, a scary dark creature slowly appears, floating towards them. It opens the door to their cabin and begins to engage frighteningly with Harry, sucking at his whole body. The sleeping teacher suddenly wakes, stands up, and repels the creature with a very bright white light emanating from his wand. Harry faints. On his coming round Lupin gives him chocolate to eat and explains that the creature is a ‘Dementor’ which drains happiness from anything it approaches. The Dementors ordinarily guard the wizard prison, ‘The Prison of Azkaban’ but are out searching for the escapee Black, and entered the train looking for him. Harry heard a woman screaming during the ordeal, but no one else heard it.

As Harry begins his third year at Hogwarts we learn of some significant changes. Alongside the official announcement of, the formerly encountered, new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Lupin. Rubeus Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane), the groundsman, becomes additionally a professor of ‘Care of Magical Creatures.’ Also, Hermione seems to be taking nearly twice as many classes as everyone else, including some which are taught simultaneously.

During a Divination class, Professor Trelawney (Emma Thompson) foresees Harry’s death in the tealeaves of his cup, which form the shape of a ‘Grim’ or large dog. In tealeaf reading this symbolises death. In Hagrid’s first class, Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) deliberately provokes Buckbeak, a Hippogriff, into attacking and injuring him. Draco’s father, Lucius Malfoy, a powerful Ministry of Magic member of staff, files an official complaint. In Defence Against the Dark Arts, Professor Lupin instructs the class in the defeat of a Boggart, which changes its form to appear as ones greatest fear. When Harry steps up, it manifests itself as a Dementor, however Lupin steps in to defeat it before Harry gets the chance.

Harry is told he cant go on the school outings to Hogsmeade, a local village inhabited solely by magical beings, as he hasnt got his admission slip signed and watches his friends go without him. Instead, he meets with Lupin, and Harry discovers that the reason he wasn’t allowed to fight the Boggart was that Lupin had been worried it would take the shape of Voldemort. This concern catches Harry by surprise, because Harry had been thinking even more fearfully about the Dementors. Later that night, Sirius Black breaks into Hogwarts and destroys the Fat Lady’s (Dawn French) portrait that guards Gryffindor Tower. The students spend the night sleeping in the Great Hall while the teachers search the castle for Black. Because Black is believed at large in the castle Dementors are sent specifically to patrol the perimeter of Hogwarts. Next day, Professor Snape (Alan Rickman) replaces Lupin as Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher while Lupin is intriguingly “…incapable of teaching at the present time.” In an odd divergence from routine, he teaches the class about Werewolves.

During the next school Quidditch match, a popular wizard sport, several Dementors approach and try to engage their powers over Harry, causing him to faint and fall off his broomstick. Dumbledore (Michael Gabon) breaks Harry’s fall, but his broomstick flies off into the magical tree, the ‘Whomping Willow’ and is destroyed. Dumbledore is angry that the Dementors came within school grounds as they are prohibited from doing so. Harry wonders why the Dementors seem to have a special interest in him and Lupin reveals that this is due to the horrors within Harrys past. Harry considers that he needs to know how to defend himself against them and convinces Lupin as such, who agrees to teach him.

At the time of the next school outing, still keen to go to Hogsmeade, Harry attempts to sneak into the village under his Invisibility Cloak, but is caught by Fred and George Weasley (James and Oliver Phelps), who give him the Marauder’s Map. It is a map of the entire school and shows the real-time locations of everyone on the grounds. Fred and George also tell Harry that the map shows the whereabouts of several secret passages out of Hogwarts, ideal for leaving undetected. Once in Hogsmeade village, and back under his Invisibility Cloak, Harry catches sight of Fudge and Professor Minerva McGonagall (Maggie Smith) chatting in the street, discussing Black and himself. He follows them as they go inside and is shocked to overhear that Sirius Black was his parents’ best friend and is still his godfather and a legal guardian. Black supposedly divulged the Potters’ secret whereabouts to Lord Voldemort and murdered their friend Peter Pettigrew, as well as twelve Muggle bystanders (non-magic humans). Harry vows to kill Black. On returning from the outing we find out from Hagrid that as a consequence of Lucuis Malfoys complaint, Buckbeat has been sentenced to death. That same night, after hours, Harry is astonished when he sees the aforementioned Peter Pettigrew’s name on the Marauder’s Map. He goes looking for him but can’t find him. Discovered out of bed, the map is confiscated by Lupin who, covering for Harry, tells Professor Snape it is merely a joke parchment and of no significance.

Harry has the agreed private class with Lupin in which he must generate a Patronus, a shield that is used to repel the Dementors. Lupin has him test himself out on a Boggart. He fails the first time, but conjures one on his second attempt. Later on, returning to a recently finished Divinations class to bring back an orb knocked over by Hermione, Harry rencounters Professor Trelawney. She grabs Harry by the shoulder, speaks as though possessed, and predicts that “..the Dark Lord’s servant will return to him that night and that innocent blood shall be spilled.”

When Harry, Ron and Hermione learn that Buckbeak is to be executed, they visit Hagrid in his hut to console him. On the way Draco taunts them about it and Hermione punches him in the face. While there, Hagrid says they cannot remain with him during the execution and that Buckbeat can’t be set free since they would know it was Hagrid. Hagrid has also found Ron’s lost rat Scabbers, and returns him to Ron. Ron had wrongly believed that his rat had been taken by Hermione’s cat. As the execution party approaches the hut, stones fly in through the window and they leave and run back to the edge of the castle, watching the execution from afar. Scabbers then bites Ron, who chases after him, finally collecting him under the Whomping Willow. The black dog makes another appearance and attacks Ron and drags him, along with Scabbers, into a hole at the tree’s base. Harry and Hermione follow, finding a tunnel which leads them to the Shrieking Shack.

Inside, in a fast moving scene, Harry finally confronts Sirius Black who he has been led to believe wishes to kill him, and whom he wishes to kill. We discover that as an illegal Animagus, Black can transform into any animal at will, thus he is also the infamous black dog. Professor Lupin, who had spotted the group on the confiscated Marauder’s Map, suddenly bursts in and embraces his old friend Black. Confronted by Hermione, Lupin admits to being a werewolf. Lupin and Black then explain that Black is not the one who betrayed the Potters, rather it was Peter Pettigrew (Timothy Spall), who has been hiding for twelve years in his Animagus form as Scabbers, Ron’s rat. He is Voldemort’s servant, not Black, and framed Black for his crimes. Meanwhile Snape bursts in also confronting Black but is disposed of by Harry. Harry is sceptical of the story until Black and Lupin force Pettigrew back into his human form, and after some squealing resistance Pettigrew finally confesses that it is true, proving Blacks’ innocence. Black further clears up the misunderstanding by explaining that on discovering Pettigrew was still alive he escaped Azkaban in order to kill him. As Lupin and Black are about to kill Pettigrew, Harry stops them, and showing Pettigrew mercy, tells him they will take him back to the castle, where he can be left for the Dementors.

As the group heads back to the castle, Harry and Sirius pause and chat optimistically. Harry remarks that Pettigrew would be have been of no use dead. Firstly he didnt want his father’s two best friends to be killers, and secondly he is the key in proving Sirius’ innocence. Sirius suggests Harry comes to live with him. They are disturbed however, when, as the full moon rises it causes Lupin to turn into the dangerous werewolf since he had neglected to take his potion which inhibits this transformation. Black responds by transforming again into the black dog in order to protect Harry, Ron and Hermione. The werewolf and Black have a vicious fight. During the ensuing commotion, Pettigrew transforms himself back into the rat and escapes, not pursued. Harry runs forward in his angst at Sirus torture at the hands of the werewolf, inadvertently attracting its attention. However while approaching Harry it is distracted by some other distant werewolf cry. Meanwhile, Sirius, badly injured, has moved down to the nearby lake where he lies at the edge. Harry follows and kneels over him. As he does so, a swarm of Dementors approaches them. Harry produces a Patronus to try and fend them off, however it is not nearly strong enough and they both begin to submit to the Dementors. Then on the other side of the river appears the brilliant white symbol of a stag and an immense Patronus which drives the Dementors away. Harry faints.

Harry awakens in the hospital wing to hear the news that Sirius Black has been captured and is about to be given the Dementor’s Kiss, to suck out his soul. Dumbledore enters and Harry, Ron and Hermione try and convince him of Blacks’ innocence. Dumbledore somehow already knows but says that their word alone wont be believed. He suggests mysteriously however, that Harry and Hermione travel in time back by using Hermione’s time-turning device, which we now find out is how she has been attending simultaneous classes, and at least save both Black and Buckbeak from their fates. Hermione turns her hour-glass necklace back three turns (three hours), and Harry and Hermione are together thrust into the past, where they observe and remould the evenings events. They throw stones through the window of Hagrid’s hut, alerting themselves to the approaching execution party. They rescue Buckbeak while the execution party is inside with Hargid shortly before the execution, thus absolving Hargid of any blame. Hermione diverts the attention of the werewolf Lupin stalking the past Harry with an imitation of another werewolf’s cry. And, from a hiding place in the forest, Harry watches the Dementor sequence and realises as it fails to appear, that he must have been the one who conjured the powerful Patronus. After saving his past self and Black from the Dementors, Harry and Hermione fly to the tower on Buckbeat where Black is imprisoned, and rescue him. Harry and Black share a moment of contemplation as since Black is going to be on the run, still wanted and without proof of his innocence, their relationship will now be sadly fraught with complications and Harry’s dream of living with his godfather is shattered. However, Harry takes comfort in knowing that Black, although still considered a fugitive, is at least free and safe for the time being. Black and Buckbeak leave, Black riding on his back. Harry and Hermione make it back to the hospital wing just as the timeline restores itself, and a reticent Dumbledore merrily bids them goodnight.

As the school year end approaches, Lupin announces that he is resigning, believing that parents of the students would not be comfortable in the now open knowledge that he is a werewolf. He returns the Marauders Map to Harry since he is no longer a professor. Harry later receives a gift from an unknown source, a Firebolt, an extremely fast racing broom. Hermione holds up a large feather, also contained within the parcel, confirming that Sirius must have sent it. Harry tries it out and is whisked away from sight, ending the film with the snapshot image of Harry flying his new broom, ecstatic.

Professor Snape: [taps the blank Marauder's Map with his wand] Reveal your secrets.
[writing appears on the map]
Professor Snape: Read it.
Harry: “Messrs. Mooney, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs, offer their compliments to Professor Snape and… ”
Professor Snape: Go on.
Harry: “… and request that he keep his abnormally large nose out of other people’s business.”
Hermione: [after Hagrid gives Ron Scabbers back] I think you owe someone an apology.
Ron: Right. Next time I see Crookshanks, I’ll let him know.
Hermione: [annoyed] I meant me!
Hermione: Is that really what my hair looks like from the back?
Ron: I’m warning you Hermione! Keep that bloody beast of yours away from Scabbers or I’ll turn it into a tea cozy!
Hermione: It’s a cat, Ronald! What do you expect? It’s in his nature.
Ron: A cat? Is that what they told you? It looks more like a pig with hair if you ask me.
Hermione: That’s rich, coming from the owner of that smelly old shoe brush. It’s alright, Crookshanks. Just ignore the mean little boy.
Ron: [sitting bolt upright in bed] Spiders… the spiders… they want me to tap-dance. And I don’t want to tap-dance!
Harry: You tell those spiders, Ron.
Ron: Yeah, tell them… I’ll tell them…
[falls straight back asleep]
Cornelius Fudge: [just after Buckbeak's escape] We must search the grounds!
Dumbledore: Search the *skies* if you must, Minister, but now I think I’ll have a nice cup of tea, or a large brandy. Oh, and executioner, your services are no longer required. Thank you.
Hagrid: You’ll find no small glasses in *this* house.
Harry: And now we wait?
Hermione: And now we wait.
[they sit down end of scene]
Sirius Black: Enough talk,Remus! C’mon, let’s kill him!
Professor Lupin: Wait!
Sirius Black: I did my waiting! Twelve years of it! In Azkaban!
Professor Lupin: Very well, kill him. But wait one more minute. Harry has the right to know why.
Harry: I know why! You betrayed my parents! You’re the reason they’re dead!
Professor Lupin: No, Harry, it wasn’t him! Somebody did betray your parents, but it was somebody who, until quite recently, I believed to be dead.
Harry: Who was it then?
Sirius Black: Peter Pettigrew! And he’s in this room, right now! Come out, come out, Peter! Come out and play!
Professor Snape: Well, well, Lupin. Out for a little walk… in the moonlight, are we?
[last lines]
Harry: [voice-over] I solemnly swear that I am up to no good.
[writing appears, and the credits roll to end]
Harry: Mischief managed.
[the writing on the parchment fades away]
Harry: Nox.
[fade to black]
Hermione: It’s meant to be the most haunted building in Britain. Did I mention that?
Ron: Twice.
Hermione: Oh. Do you want to move a bit closer?
Ron: Huh?
Hermione: To the Shrieking Shack.
Ron: Oh, no. I’m fine here.
Harry: What’s the holdup?
Ron: Probably Neville’s forgotten the password again.
Neville Longbottom: [behind them] Hey!
Ron: Oh… You’re there…
Ron: I didn’t mean to open it.
[pause]
Ron: It was badly wrapped.
[pause]
Ron: [points at Fred and George] They made me do it!
George Weasley, Fred Weasley: Did not!
Professor Lupin: Now repeat after me – without wands please – repeat after me, Riddikulus.
Class: Riddikulus!
Professor Lupin: Very good. A little louder please, and very clearly. Rid-di-kulus.
Class: Riddikulus!
Malfoy: [under his breath] This class is ridiculous.
Dumbledore: Mysterious thing, time. Powerful, and when meddled with, dangerous. Sirius Black is in the topmost cell of the dark tower. You know the laws, Miss Granger. You must not be seen, and you would do well, I feel, to return before this last chime. If not, the consequences are too ghastly to discuss. If you succeed tonight, more than one innocent life may be spared. Three turns, should do it, I think.
[He starts to exit, turns back]
Dumbledore: Oh, by the way. When in doubt, I find retracing my steps to be a wise place to begin. Good luck.
[He exits]
Ron: What the bloody hell was that all about?
[repeated line]
Ron: Bloody hell!
Malfoy: Ah, come to see the show?
Hermione: [shouts] You! You foul, loathsome, evil little cockroach!
[Hermione raises her wand at Malfoy. He backs against the wall, whimpering]
Ron: Hermione, no! He’s not worth it.
[Hermione lowers her wand and turns away. Malfoy starts laughing, she spins around and socks him in the nose]
Vincent Crabbe: Malfoy! Are you okay? Come on, let’s go!
Malfoy: [running away] Quick! Not a word to anyone! Understood?
Hermione: That felt good.
Ron: Not good, brilliant!
Hermione: If you’re going to kill Harry you’ll have to kill us too!
Sirius Black: No, only one will die tonight.
Harry: Then it’ll be you!
Shrunken Head: Mind your head!
[after being "attacked" by Buckbeak the hippogriff]
Malfoy: You’re going to regret this.
Hagrid: Class dismissed.
Malfoy: You and your bloody chicken.
Fred Weasley: Nice try Harry, but not good enough
Harry: Come on guys, I’m trying to get to Hogsmeade
Fred Weasley, George Weasley: We know
George Weasley: If you’ll stop squirming, we have a better way…
Harry: Guys, come on…
Fred Weasley: Awwh, bless him
George Weasley: Now Harry…
Fred Weasley, George Weasley: Come and join the big boys
Professor Snape: Expelliarmus! Ah, vengeance is sweet. How I hoped I’d be the one to catch you.
[to Lupin]
Professor Snape: I told Dumbledore you were helping an old friend enter the castle and now here’s the proof.
Sirius Black: Brilliant, Snape – once again you’ve put your keen and penetrating mind to the task and as usual come to the wrong conclusion. Now if you’ll excuse us, Remus and I have some unfinished business to attend to.
Professor Snape: [raises his wand at Black] Give me a reason. I beg you.
Professor Lupin: Severus, don’t be a fool…
Sirius Black: He can’t help it. It’s habit by now.
Professor Lupin: Sirius, be quiet!
Sirius Black: Be quiet yourself, Remus!
Professor Snape: Listen to you two, quarrelling like an old married couple.
Sirius Black: Why don’t you run along and play with your chemistry set?
Professor Snape: [puts his wand to Black's throat] I could do it, you know… But why deny the Dementors? They’re so longing to see you.
[Sirius trembles]
Professor Snape: Do I detect a flicker of fear? Ah, yes. The Dementor’s Kiss. One can only imagine what that must be like to endure. It’s said to be nearly unbearable to witness, but I’ll do my best.
Ron: [as Harry lays unconcious] Looks a bit peaky, doesn’t he?
Fred Weasley: Peaky? What’d you expect him to look like? He fell fifty feet.
George Weasley: Yeah, c’mon, Ron. We’ll walk you off the Astronomy Tower and see how you come out looking.
Harry: Probably a right sight better than he normally does.
[he opens his eyes to see everyone is with him]
Hermione: Harry! How are you feeling?
Harry: [he slips on his glasses] Brilliant.
Fred Weasley: Gave us a right good scare, mate.
Harry: What happened?
Ron: You fell off your broom.
Harry: Really? I meant the match. Who won?
[silence, no one is answering]
Hermione: No one blames you, Harry. The Dementors aren’t meant to come on the grounds. Dumbledore was furious. After he saved you, he sent them straight off.
Ron: There’s something else you should know, Harry. Your Nimbus – when it blew away? – it sort of landed in the Whomping Willow. And well…
[he hands Harry his broken broom stick]
Harry: Now what?
Hermione: We save Sirius.
Harry: How?
Hermione: No idea.
Professor Snape: Which one of you can tell me the difference between an animagus and a werewolf?
[Hermione raises her hand]
Professor Snape: [without turning around] No-one? How disappointing.
Harry: Excuse me, sir. Where’s Professor Lupin?
Professor Snape: That’s really none of your concern is it, Potter?
Harry: Egypt, huh? What’s it like?
Ron: Brilliant! Loads of cool stuff. Mummies, tombs. Even Scabbers enjoyed himself.
Hermione: You know, the Egyptians used to worship cats.
Ron: Yeah, along with the dung beetle.
Hermione: Beautiful day.
Ron: Gorgeous. Unless of course you’ve been ripped to pieces.
Harry: Ripped to pieces? What are you talking about?
Hermione: Ronald has lost his rat.
Ron: I haven’t lost anything! Your cat killed him!
Hermione: Rubbish!
Ron: Harry, you’ve seen the way that blood thirsty beast of hers is always lurking about. And now Scabbers is gone!
Hermione: Well maybe you should learn to take better care of your pets!
Ron: Your cat killed him!
Hermione: Did not!
Ron: Did.
Hermione: Didn’t.
Harry: He was their friend, and he betrayed them. He was their *friend*! I hope he finds me! Cause when he does, I’m gonna be ready. When he does, I’m gonna kill him!
Harry: “Messrs. Moony, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs are proud to present the Marauder’s Map.”
George Weasley: We owe them so much.
Harry: Hang on. This is Hogwarts. And that… No. Is that really…?
Fred Weasley: Dumbledore.
George Weasley: In his study.
Fred Weasley: Pacing.
George Weasley: Does that a lot.
Harry: So you mean this map shows…?
Fred Weasley: Everyone.
Harry: Everyone?
George Weasley: Everyone.
Fred Weasley: Where they are.
George Weasley: What they’re doing.
Fred Weasley: Every minute.
George Weasley: Of every day.
Harry: Brilliant! Where’d you get it?
Fred Weasley: Nicked it from Filch’s office, of course, first year.
George Weasley: Now, listen. There are seven secret passageways out of the castle. We’d recommend…
George Weasley, Fred Weasley: This one.
Fred Weasley: The One-Eyed Witch passageway.
George Weasley: It’ll lead you straight to Honeyduke’s cellar.
Fred Weasley: We best hurry. Filch is heading this way.
George Weasley: Oh, and Harry, don’t forget. When you’re done, just give it a tap and say…
George Weasley, Fred Weasley: “Mischief Managed.” Otherwise anyone can read it.
Cornelius Fudge: Now write your name only.
Dumbledore: It’s quite a long name.
Professor Trelawney: Your aura is pulsing! Are you in the beyond? I think you are!
Ron: Sure…
Professor Trelawney: Look at the cup, tell me what you see!
Ron: Oh yeah… well, Harry’s got a sort of wonky cross… that’s trials and suffering. And, uh, that there could be the sun, and that’s happiness, so… you’re gonna suffer… but you’re gonna be happy about it…
Uncle Vernon: You bring her back! You bring her back now, you put her right!
Harry: No! She deserved what she got! Keep away from me.
Uncle Vernon: You’re not allowed to do magic outside of school.
Harry: Yeah? Try me.
Uncle Vernon: They won’t take you back now! You’ve nowhere to go!
Harry: I don’t care! Anywhere’s better than here.
[repeated line]
Ron: Hermione, when did you get here?
[repeated line]
Professor Lupin: Eat this. It’ll help.
Mr. Arthur Weasley: Harry, there are some within the Ministry who would strongly discourage me from divulging what I’m about to reveal to you, but I think that you need to know the facts. You are in danger. Grave danger.
Harry: Has this anything to do with Sirius Black?
Mr. Arthur Weasley: What do you know about Sirius Black, Harry?
Harry: Only that he’s escaped from Azkaban.
Mr. Arthur Weasley: Do you know why? Thirteen years ago, when you stopped…
Harry: – Voldemort…
Mr. Arthur Weasley: – don’t say his name.
Harry: Sorry.
Mr. Arthur Weasley: When you stopped You-Know-Who, Black lost everything. But to this day, he still remains a faithful servant. And his mind you are the only thing that stands in the way of You-Know-Who returning to power. And that is why he has escaped from Azkaban. To find you…
Harry: And kill me.
Mr. Arthur Weasley: Harry, I want you to swear to me that whatever you might hear, you won’t go looking for Black.
Harry: Mr. Weasley, why would I go looking for someone who wants to kill me?
Professor Snape: A remarkable feat, don’t you think? To enter the castle on ones own, completely undetected?
Dumbledore: Quite.
Professor Snape: Any theories on how he might have managed it?
Dumbledore: Many. Each as unlikely as the next.
Professor Snape: You may recall, prior to the start of term, I expressed concern about the appointment of Professor…
Dumbledore: Not a single person inside this castle would help Sirius Black to enter it. No, I’m quite convinced the castle is safe, and I’m more than willing to send the students back to their houses.
Professor Snape: What about Potter? Should he be warned?
Dumbledore: Perhaps, but for now let him sleep.
Harry: What happened to me?
Ron: Well, you sort of went rigid. We thought maybe you were having a fit or something.
Harry: And did either of you two, you know, pass out?
Ron: No… I felt weird though, like I’d never be cheerful again.
Harry: But someone was screaming… a woman…
Hermione: No one was screaming, Harry.
Hermione: [laughing, mocking Professor Trelawney] Broaden your minds! Use your inner eye to see the future!
[about Malfoy]
Ron: Listen to the idiot! He’s really laying it on thick, isn’t he?
Harry: At least Hagrid didn’t get fired.
Hermione: Yeah, but I hear Draco’s father’s furious. We haven’t heard the end of this.
Professor Minerva McGonagall: Years ago, when Potter’s parent’s were marked for death, do you remember? They went into hiding. Few knew where they were. One who did was Sirius Black. And he told You-Know-Who!
Cornelius Fudge: Not only did Black lead You-Know-Who to the Potters that night, he also killed one of their friends, Peter Pettigrew.
Madame Rosmerta: Peter Pettigrew?
Professor Minerva McGonagall: Little lump of a boy, always following after Sirius Black.
Madame Rosmerta: Oh, I remember him. Never let James and Sirius out of his sight. But what happened?
Professor Minerva McGonagall: Well Peter Pettigrew tried to warn the Potters, and might have managed to if he hadn’t run into an old friend.
Madame Rosmerta: Mhm, Sirius Black.
Cornelius Fudge: Black was vicious. He didn’t kill Pettigrew, he destroyed him. A finger. That’s all that was left, a finger. Nothing else.
Professor Minerva McGonagall: Sirius Black may not have put his hands to the Potters, but he’s the reason they’re dead.
Cornelius Fudge: And now he wants to finish what he started.
Hermione: [to Lupin] I trusted you! And all this time you’ve been his friend!
Dumbledore: A child’s voice, however honest and true, is meaningless to those who’ve forgotten how to listen.
Harry: There’s Pettigrew.
Hermione: Harry, you can’t!
Harry: Hermione, that’s the man who betrayed my parents! You don’t expect me to just sit here!
Hermione: Yes, you must! Harry, you’re in Hagrid’s hut now. If you just go bursting in you’ll think you’ve gone mad! Awful things happen to wizards who’ve meddled with time. We can’t be seen.
Harry: But you’re innocent!
Sirius Black: And you know it. And for now, that’ll do.
Stan Shunpike: Welcome to the Knight Bus, emergency transport for the stranded witch or wizard. My name is Stan Shunpike and I will be your conductor this evening.
Harry: You were right, Hermione! It wasn’t my dad I saw earlier! It was me! I saw myself conjuring the patronus before! I knew I could do it this time, because… well, because I’d already done it! Does that make sense?
Hermione: No! But I DON’T LIKE FLYING!
[screams as Buckbeak dives]
[the train has stopped]
Ron: There’s something moving out there.
Sirius Black: I expect you’re tired of hearing this, but you look so like your father. Except your eyes. You have…
Harry: My mother’s eyes.
Sirius Black: It’s cruel that I got to spend so much time with James and Lily, and you so little. But know this; the ones that love us never really leave us. And you can always find them in here.
[puts his hand to Harry's heart]
Ron: [looking at Lupin who has just turned into a werewolf] Nice doggie… nice doggie…
Dumbledore: A word of caution: dementors are vicious creatures. They will not distinguish between the one they hunt and the one who gets in their way. Therefore I must warn each and every one of you to give them no reason to harm you. It’s not in the nature of a dementor to be forgiving. But you know happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, when one only remembers to turn on the light.
Professor Lupin: The very first time I saw you Harry, I recognized you immediately. Not by your scar, by your eyes. They’re your mother; Lily’s. Yes, I knew her. You mother was there for me at a time when no one else was. Not only was she a singularly gifted witch, she was also an uncommonly kind woman. She had a way of seeing the beauty in others, even, and perhaps most especially, when that person couldn’t see it in themselves. Your father, James, however, had a certain, shall we say, talent for trouble. A talent, rumor has it, he passed onto you. You’re more like them then you know, Harry. In time you’ll come to see just how much.
Ron: Neville, you’re supposed to stroke it!
Hermione: [howls]
Harry: What are you doing?
Hermione: Saving your life!
Harry: Thanks!… Great, now he’s coming at us!
Hermione: Yeah, didn’t think about that… run!
Harry: Expecto Patronum!
Shrunken Head: [while the Knight Bus is compressing itself to squeeze between two buses] Why the long faces?
Harry: Professor, why do the dementors affect me so? More than anyone else, I mean?
Professor Lupin: Listen, dementors are among the foulest creatures to walk this earth. They feed on every good feeling, every happy memory until a person is left with nothing but his worst experiences. The dementors affect you more than others because there are true horrors in your past, horrors your classmates can scarcely imagine. You are not weak, Harry. You have nothing to be ashamed of.
Harry: I’m scared, Professor.
Professor Lupin: Well, I’d consider you a fool if you weren’t.
Professor Lupin: Come in. Now, I haven’t the faintest idea Harry how this map came to be in your possession, quite frankly I am astounded that you didn’t hand it in. Did it never occur to you that this in the hands of Sirius Black is a map to you?
Harry: No, sir.
Professor Lupin: No. You know, your father never set much store by the rules either. But he and your mother gave their lives to save yours. And gambling their sacrifice by wandering around the castle, unprotected, with a killer on the loose seems to me to be a pretty poor way to repay them. Now, I will not cover for you again, Harry, do you hear me? I want you to return to your dormitory and stay there. And don’t take any detours. If you do, I shall know.
[taps the map]
Professor Lupin: I shall know.
Cornelius Fudge: As the Minister of Magic, it is my duty to inform you, Mr. Potter, that earlier this evening your uncle’s sister was located a little south of Sheffield, circling a chimney stack. The Accidental Magic Reversal department was dispatched immediately, she has been properly punctured and her memory modified. She will have no recollection of the event whatsoever so that’s that and no harm done. Pea soup?
Harry: No, thank you. Minister?
Cornelius Fudge: Yes?
Harry: I don’t understand.
Cornelius Fudge: Understand?
Harry: I broke the law. Underage wizards aren’t allowed to use magic at home.
Cornelius Fudge: Come now Harry, the Ministry doesn’t send people to Azkaban for blowing up their aunts.
Harry: Poor Professor Lupin’s having a really tough night.
Ron: Who do you think that is?
Hermione: Professor R. J. Lupin.
Ron: Do you know everything?
[to Harry]
Ron: How is it she knows everything?
Hermione: [annoyed] It’s on his suitcase, Ronald.
Ron: Oh.
Professor Trelawney: Here in this room, you will discover if you possess the Sight!
[stands up, and promptly bumps into her table]
Professor Lupin: Our pain becomes their power.
Hermione: [to Buckbeak] Come on Buckbeak! Come and get the nice dead ferret!
Harry: Good punch.
Hermione: Thanks.
Hermione: At least somebody’s enjoying himself.
Professor Lupin: What frightens you most in the world?
Neville Longbottom: [mumbling] Pfsr Snpe.
Professor Lupin: I’m sorry?
Neville Longbottom: Professor Snape.
[laughter]
Professor Lupin: Professor Sna- yes, he frightens all.
Harry: [seeing himself in the past] That’s us! This is not *normal*.
Malfoy: [outside the shrieking shack to Ron and Hermione] Well, well. Look who’s here – you two shopping for your new dream home? Bit grand for you, isn’t it, Weasel-Bee? Don’t your family all sleep in… one room?
Professor Snape: Potter, what are you doing wandering the corridors at night?
Harry: Nothing… I was sleepwalking.
Professor Snape: How extraordinarily like your father you are Potter, he too was exceedingly arrogant, strutting about the castle.
Harry: My Dad didn’t strut, and nor do I. Now, if you don’t mind, I’d appreciate it if you could lower your wand.
Dumbledore: Well?
Harry: He’s free. We did it.
Dumbledore: Did what? Good night.
Harry: It’s not… happy. Well, it is, it’s the happiest I’ve ever felt. But it’s complicated.
Professor Lupin: Is it strong?
[Hermione looks at Ron's broken leg, and they flirt by mimicking Malfoy and Pansy Parkinson]
Hermione: Ow! That looks really painful.
Ron: It’s sorta painful. They uh, they might… chop it.
Hermione: I’m sure Madame Pomfrey will fix it in a heartbeat.
Ron: It’s too late, it’s ruined. It’ll have to be chopped off.
Aunt Marge: They use the cane at St. Brutus’s, boy?
Harry: Oh. Yeah, yeah. I… I’ve been beaten loads of times.
Stan Shunpike: What you doin’ down there?
Harry: I fell over.
Stan Shunpike: What you fell over for?
Harry: I didn’t do it on purpose.
Stan Shunpike: Well come on then! Let’s not wait for the grass to grow!
Harry: [about the Marauder's Map] Professor, just so you know I don’t think that map always works. Earlier it showed someone in the castle… someone I know to be dead.
Professor Lupin: Oh really, and who might that be?
Harry: Peter Pettigrew.
Professor Lupin: [looking stunned] That’s not possible.
Ron: [when Harry and Hermione reappear] How did you get there? I… I was talking to you there! And now you’re there!
Hermione: What’s he talking about Harry?
Harry: I dunno. Honestly Ron, how can people be in two places at once?
Professor Lupin: [commenting on Sirius' ragged looks] Finally, the flesh reflects the madness within.
Sirius Black: Well, you’d know all about the madness within, wouldn’t you Remus?
Ginny Weasley: The Fat lady… she’s gone!
Ron: Serves her right. She was a terrible singer…
Hermione: That’s not funny, Ron!
Ron: Let me get this strait. Sirius Black has escaped from Azkaban to come after you?
Harry: Yeah.
Hermione: But they’ll catch Black, won’t they? I mean, everyone’s looking for him.
Ron: Sure. Except no one’s ever broken out of Azkaban before, and he’s a murderous raving lunatic.
Harry: Thanks, Ron.
Professor Snape: That is the second time you have spoken out of turn, Miss Granger. Tell me, are you incapable of restraining yourself, or do you take pride in being an insufferable know-it-all?
Ron: He’s got a point, you know.
Shrunken Head: Ernie, little old lady at twelve o’clock!
[the Knight Bus screeches to a halt]
Shrunken Head: Ten… nine… eight… seven… six… five… four… ‘tree’… ‘tree’ and a half… two… one and ‘tree’ quarters… YES!
Hermione: [gazing at a crystal ball] Can I give it a try?
Professor Trelawney: Yes, sure!
Hermione: The grim. Possibly.
Professor Trelawney: You know, my dear, the moment I looked into your eyes I knew that you did not have the mind for the noble art of Divination.
[looking at her palm]
Professor Trelawney: See? Right here. You may be young in years but the heart that beats beneath your bosom is as shriveled as an old maid’s, your soul as dry as the pages of the books to which you so desperately cleave.
[Hermione gets up and leaves, angrily]
Professor Trelawney: Have I said something?
Sirius Black: Sorry about the bite, I reckon that twinges a bit.
Ron: A bit? A bit? You almost tore my leg off!
Sirius Black: I *was* going for the rat. Normally, I have a very sweet disposition as a dog. In fact, more than once, James suggested that I make the change permanent. The tail I could live with. But the fleas? They’re murder.
Harry: Professor Trelawney?
Professor Trelawney: [in a deep, raspy voice] He will return tonight! He who betrayed his friends – whose heart rots with murder! Innocent blood shall be shed and servant and master shall be reunited once moooooooore!
[coughs]
Professor Trelawney: Oh, I’m sorry, dear. Did you say something?
Harry: I didn’t mean to blow her up, I just… lost control.
Ron: Brilliant!
Hermione: Honestly Ron, it’s not funny! Harry was lucky not to be expelled.
Harry: I think I was lucky not to have been arrested actually.
Ron: I still think it’s brilliant.
Hermione: [to Harry] Look who it is… Madame Rosmerta. Ron fancies her!
Ron: That’s not true!
Ron: She’s gone mental, Hermione has. I mean, not that she wasn’t always mental, but now it’s out in the open for everyone to see!
[Maid knocks on a door]
Young Witch Maid: Housekeeping!
[the door opens, something roars from inside the room, and the door slams shut]
Young Witch Maid: I’ll come back later.
Stan Shunpike: Take her away, Ern.
Shrunken Head: [With a Jamaican accent] Yeah, take it away, Ernie! Fasten your safety belts, clench your buttocks! It’s going be a bumpy ride!
Professor Snape: Why you insolent, little…
Professor Lupin: …Professor.
Stan Shunpike: What did you say your name was again?
Harry: I didn’t.
Stan Shunpike: Well, whereabouts are you headed?
Harry: The Leaky Cauldron! That’s in London.
Stan Shunpike: D’you hear that, Ern? The Leaky Cauldron, that’s in London.
Shrunken Head: Ah, the Leaky Cauldron! If you have the pea soup, make sure you eat it before it eats you!
[about the newspaper clipping Ron was showing Harry and Hermione]
George Weasley: Not flashing that clipping again, are you, Ron?
Ron: I haven’t shown anyone!
Fred Weasley: No, not a soul! Unless you count Tom.
George Weasley: The day maid.
Fred Weasley: The night maid.
George Weasley: The cook.
Fred Weasley: That bloke who came to fix the toilet.
George Weasley: And that wizard from Belgium!
[repeated line]
Percy Weasley: I’m Head Boy!
Harry: [in reference to Sirius Black on the front cover of the Daily Prophet] Who is that? That man?
Stan Shunpike: Who is that?… Who is… THAT is Sirius Black that is! Don’t tell me you’ve never been hearing of Sirius Black?
Harry: [Harry shakes his head]
Stan Shunpike: He’s a murderer. Got himself locked up in Azkaban for it.
Harry: How did he escape?
Stan Shunpike: Well that’s the question, isn’t it? He’s the first one who done it. He was a big supporter of You-Know-Who. Reckon you’ve heard of him?
Harry: Yeah… him I’ve heard of.
Seamus Finnegan: [standing in front of the Fat Lady] She won’t let me in! She just won’t!
Dumbledore: [to Professor Snape] For in dreams, we enter a world that is entirely our own. Let him swim in the deepest ocean or glide over the highest cloud.
Peter Pettigrew: What would you have done, Sirius?
Sirius Black: I would have died! I would have died rather than betray my friends, as we would have done for you!
Hagrid: Well, first the committee took turns in talking about ‘why we were there’. Then I stood up and said my bit, how Buckbeak was a good hippogriff, always cleaned his feathers. And then Lucius Malfoy got up…
Fat Lady in Painting: [sings while holding a glass] Ah ah ah AH!
Harry: Fortuna Major.
Fat Lady in Painting: No, wait, wait!
[sings again, higher]
Fat Lady in Painting: Ah ah ah AH!
Harry: Fortuna Major.
Fat Lady in Painting: Wait!
[sings again, highest]
Fat Lady in Painting: Ah ah ah AAAAAAAAAAAH!
[holds the note, looks around to make sure nobody's watching, then smashes the glass on the edge of the painting]
Fat Lady in Painting: Oh, amazing! And just with my voice!
Harry: Fortuna Major.
Fat Lady in Painting: Yes, all right, all right, you can go in.
Harry: Thank you!
Fat Lady in Painting: Plebs.
Professor Lupin: [Harry's turned up to visit him after the battle in the woods] I saw you coming.
[points to Marauder's Map]
Professor Lupin: I’ve looked worse, believe me.
Hogwarts Choir: [singing] In the cauldron boil and bake / Fillet of a fenny snake / Scale of dragon, Tooth of wolf / Witches, mummy, maw and gulf / Double, double, toil and trouble / Fire burn and cauldron bubble! / Double, double, toil and trouble / Fire burn and cauldron bubble! / Double, double, toil and trouble / Fire burn and cauldron bubble! / Something wicked this way comes!
Dumbledore: Professor Kettleburn, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher for many years, has decided to retire in order to spend more time with his remaining limbs.
Hagrid: First thing you wanna know about hippogriffs, is that they’re very proud creatures, very easily offended. You do not want to insult a hippogriff. It may just be the last thing you ever do. Now, who’d like to come and say hello?
[everyone but Harry takes one step back]
Hagrid: Well done, Harry, well done!
[while hurtling through London in the Knight Bus]
Harry: But the Muggles! Can’t they see us?
Stan Shunpike: Muggles? They don’t see nothing, do they?
Shrunken Head: No, but if you jab them with a fork, they feel it!
[laughs]
Harry: Professor, can I ask you something?
Professor Lupin: You want to know why I stopped you facing that boggart, yes? I would have thought that would be obvious – I assumed it would take the shape of Lord Voldemort.
Harry: I did think of Voldemort – at first. But then I remembered that night on the train… and the dementor…
Professor Lupin: I’m very impressed. That suggests that what you fear most of all… is fear itself. This is very wise.
[first lines]
Harry: Lumos Maxima!
[five times]
Hermione: Harry, Harry!
Shrunken head 1: I say! No underage wizards allowed in today.
[shouts]
Shrunken head 1: Shut the damn door!
Hermione: So rude!
Ron: Thick-heads.
Shrunken head 2: Thick-heads… how dare they. Who are they calling Thick-heads? Young whippersnappers!
Ron: [Hermione is walking towards the werewolf Lupin] Hermione… bad idea… bad idea…
Hermione: [watches as Harry and Sirius are being attacked by Dementors from the other side of the lake]
[speaks calmly]
Hermione: This is horrible.
Pansy Parkinson: [looking at Malfoy's arm in a sling] Does it hurt terribly, Draco?
Malfoy: It comes and it goes. Still, I consider myself luckily. If it wasn’t for Madame Pomfrey, another minute or two and I could have lost my arm; couldn’t possibly do any homework for weeks.
Professor Minerva McGonagall: That is preposterous, Weasley. How on earth could Sirius Black enter Gryffindor Tower without anyone noticing him?
Ron: I don’t know! I was a little preoccupied dodging his knife!
[points to Sir Cadogan]
Ron: Ask him!
Professor Minerva McGonagall: [sceptically] Sir Cadogan, Sir Cadogan did you just let a man enter Gryffindor Tower?
Sir Cadogan: Certainly, good lady!
Professor Minerva McGonagall: You did? But… the passwords…
Sir Cadogan: He had them! Had the whole week’s, written down on a little piece of paper!
Professor Minerva McGonagall: Which abysmally foolish person wrote down this week’s passwords, and then left them lying around?
[behind her, Neville hangs his head. Without needing to be told, she turns directly to him]
Professor Minerva McGonagall: Is it always going to be you, Longbottom?
Neville Longbottom: I’m afraid so, Ma’am.
Peter Pettigrew: Harry, James wouldn’t have wanted me killed! Your dad… your dad would have spared me! He would shown me mercy!
Aunt Marge: [to Vernon] You mustn’t blame yourself about how this one turned out, Vernon. It’s all to do with blood. Bad blood will out.
[to Petunia]
Aunt Marge: What is it the boy’s father did, Petunia?
Aunt Petunia: Nothing. He didn’t work. He was unemployed.
Aunt Marge: And a drunk too, no doubt?
Harry: That’s a lie.
Aunt Marge: What did you say?
Harry: [a little enraged] My dad wasn’t a drunk!
[Aunt Marge accidentally breaks the glass she it holding, which shatters into pieces, startling everyone else]
Aunt Marge: Don’t worry. Don’t fuss, Petunia. I have a very firm grip.
[Harry has just successfully conjured a Patronus]
Professor Lupin: You know something, Harry? I think you would have given your father a run for his money, and THAT is saying something.
[beat]
Harry: I was thinking of him… and Mum. Seeing their faces. They were talking to me, just talking. That’s the memory I chose. I don’t even know if it’s real. But it’s the best I have.
[the Fat Lady has finally let them into Gryffindor Tower; both Harry and Seamus are talking at the same time]
Harry: She’s still doing it, after three years, I mean…
Seamus Finnegan: I can’t believe she still does that…
Harry, Seamus Finnegan: [together] She can’t even sing!
[the Whomping Willow has just deposited Harry in the secret passageway]
Harry: AHHH!
[He starts to get up and Hermione lands on top of him]
Hermione: AHHH! Oh I’m sorry!
Harry: That’s all right.
[they get to their feet]
Hermione: Where do you suppose this goes?
Harry: I have a hunch. I just hope I’m wrong.
[Harry and Hermione have Time-Turned and are hiding behind the pumpkins. Hermione throws the second rock, which hits the Harry inside Hagrid's hut on the back of his head]
Harry: [inside Hagrid's hut] Ow!
Harry: [outside next to Hermione, rubbing the back of his head] Ow. That hurt!
Hermione: Sorry.
Sirius Black: You know the man you truly are, Remus! This heart is where you truly live! This heart! Here! This flesh is only flesh!
Professor Lupin: Why do you look so miserable, Harry?
Harry: None of it made any difference. Pettigrew escaped.
Professor Lupin: Didn’t make any difference? Harry, it made all the difference in the world! You helped discover the truth. You saved an innocent man from a terrible fate. It made a great deal of difference.
Malfoy: Potter! Is it true you fainted? I mean, you actually fainted?
Ron: Shove off, Malfoy.
Harry: How did he find out?
Hermione: Just forget it.
Ron: Harry, what did you just do?
Hermione: You attacked a teacher!
Hermione: Headmaster, you’ve got to stop them! They’ve got the wrong man!
Harry: It’s true, sir! Sirius is innocent!
Ron: It’s Scabbers who did it.
Dumbledore: Scabbers?
Ron: He’s my rat, sir. Well he’s not really a rat. Well, he was a rat, he was my brother Percy’s rat, but then they gave him an owl, and I got…
Hermione: The *point* is, we know the truth. Please believe us.
Hermione: This is a time turner, Harry. McGonagall gave it to me first term. This is how I’ve been getting to my lessons all year.
Harry: You mean we’ve gone back in time?
Hermione: Yes. Dumbledore obviously wanted us to return to this moment. Clearly something happened he wants us to change.
Harry: Before, down by the lake when I was with Sirius, I did see someone. That someone made the Dementors go away.
Hermione: With a patronus? I heard Snape telling Dumbledore. According to him, only a really powerful wizard could’ve conjured it.
Harry: It was my dad. It was my dad who conjured the patronus.
Hermione: But Harry, your dad’s…
Harry: Dead, I know. I’m just telling you what I saw.
[about Sirius]
Harry: When we free him, I’ll never have to go back to the Dursley’s. It’ll just be me and him. We could live in the country, someplace you can see the sky. I think he’ll like that after all those years in Azkaban.
Aunt Marge: Still here, are you?
Harry: Yes.
Aunt Marge: Don’t say ‘yes’ in that ungrateful way.
[about Hogwarts]
Sirius Black: It’s beautiful, isn’t it? I’ll never forget the first time I walked through those doors. It’ll be nice to do it again as a free man.
[about Pettigrew]
Sirius Black: That was a noble thing you did back there. He doesn’t deserve it.
Harry: Well, I just didn’t think my dad would’ve wanted his two best friends to become killers. Besides, dead the truth dies with him. Alive, you’re free.
Harry: Tell me about Peter Pettigrew!
Professor Lupin: He was at school witth us, we thought he was our friend.
Harry: No, Pettigrew’s dead.
[to Sirius]
Harry: You killed him.
Professor Lupin: No he didn’t! I thought so too, until you mentioned seeing Pettigrew on the map.
Harry: The map was lying, then.
Sirius Black: The map never lies! Pettigrew’s alive.
Hagrid: [about Buckbeak] I think he may let you ride him now.
Harry: What?
Hagrid: [picking him up and placing him on Buckbeak's back] Come on, right behind the wing joint.
Harry: Hey! Hey hey hey hey hey! Hagrid!

ad_utils.ad_queue.push({tile:’4′,slot:’top_rhs’});

Harry’s fourth year at Hogwarts is about to start and he is enjoying the summer vacation with his friends. They get the tickets to The Quidditch World Cup Final but after the match is over, people dressed like Lord Voldemort’s ‘Death Eaters’ set a fire to all the visitors’ tents, coupled with the appearance of Voldemort’s symbol, the ‘Dark Mark’ in the sky, which causes a frenzy across the magical community. That same year, Hogwarts is hosting ‘The Triwizard Tournament’, a magical tournament between three well-known schools of magic : Hogwarts, Beauxbatons and Durmstrang. The contestants have to be above the age of 17, and are chosen by a magical object called Goblet of Fire. On the night of selection, however, the Goblet spews out four names instead of the usual three, with Harry unwittingly being selected as the Fourth Champion. Since the magic cannot be reversed, Harry is forced to go with it and brave three exceedingly difficult tasks. Written by Soumitra

Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts for his fourth year, where the Trizwizard tournament is becoming ready to begin. Students must be over 17 to enter, with the winner receiving eternal glory. Harry can’t enter it this year…or can he. When his name is read out from the Goblet of Fire, everyone assumes that Harry Potter has cheated. Harry insists that he never placed his name in there, with someone else behind it. But Who? Harry must now survive through dragons, sea creatures and a terrifying maze, all before coming face-to-face with a particular dark wizard. Written by Film_Fan

Harry’s fourth summer and the following year at Hogwarts are marked by the Quidditch World Cup and the Triwizard Tournament, in which student representatives from three different wizarding schools compete in a series of increasingly challenging contests. However, Voldemort’s Death Eaters are gaining strength and even creating the Dark Mark giving evidence that the Dark Lord is ready to rise again. In the unsuspecting lives of the young wizard and witches at Hogwarts the competitors are selected by the goblet of fire, which this year makes a very surprising announcement: Hogwarts will have two representatives in the tournament, including Harry Potter! Will Harry be able to rise to the challenge for the Tri Wizard Tournament while keeping up with school or will the challenges along with Voldemort’s rebirth be too much for the young hero? Written by imann

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire takes us deeper into the characters’ minds and the darkness of the Wizarding World. At the Quidditch World Cup, Voldemort’s followers gather and wreak havoc. Then, at Hogwarts, a legendary event takes place. The Triwizard Tournament! The Goblet of Fire judges who gets in and who doesn’t. On the fateful night, three champions are selected. But then the Goblet spits out one other. Harry’s. These two major events point to the return of Lord Voldemort. Dumbledore and the other teachers sense it, but it is inevitable. And Harry is no longer safe at Hogwarts. This fourth installment is the most dramatic, and also the scariest. Let me just say that all does not necessarily end well… Written by Josh Millhouse

History
Discuss
Harry, Ron and Hermione enter their fourth year at Hogwarts. After having a strange dream of the Dark Lord and his Death Eaters, Harry Potter awakes at the Weasleys’ house where they shortly depart for the 422nd Quidditch World Cup. After the match, the camp is attacked by Death Eaters. The three later arrive at Hogwarts, where they find that the magical school will be hosting a legendary event called the Triwizard Tournament, in which one wizard each from two rival schools and Hogwarts will compete in three dangerous tasks. When the schools of Beauxbatons and Durmstrang, the rival schools, arrive, the rules are announced. Meanwhile, Alastor “Mad Eye” Moody arrives at Hogwarts at the request of Dumbledore to be the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. Moody is a very eccentric man, noted for his paranoia and his wildly roaming “mad eye”. People over seventeen who are interested must insert their name into the Goblet of Fire, and those chosen will be the Champions of their respective school. Three champions names come out of the Goblet of Fire, Cedric Diggory from Hogwarts, Viktor Krum from Durmstrang and Fleur Delacour from Beauxbatons, and then the goblet unexpectedly produces a fourth, Harry Potter, although he is an under-age fourth year who never entered. Although Harry insists that he did not enter his name, his selection prompts a certain amount of jealousy and suspicion on part of his fellow students – including Ron, who believes that Harry is attempting to make himself the centre of attention again. This causes a brief period of resentment and estrangement between the two friends (including Ron swearing, telling Harry to piss off!), which is soon healed, however. Dumbledore tells Alastor to keep an eye on Harry, without him knowing it.

The Tournament begins with the first event, in which the four champions must each battle a dragon to retrieve a golden egg. Upon using the Accio spell to summon his broom, he flies out of the arena. The dragon breaks free of its chain and chases Harry through the Hogwarts grounds, where it runs into a stone bridge and falls dead. Harry gets the egg, which, when opened, will reveal a clue about the second task. When Harry opens it, though, only a horrible screeching is heard. They are soon informed of the Yule Ball, a Christmas ball held during the Triwizard Tournament. Ron and Harry find it hard to get dates to the ball, but finally get the Patil twins to join them, while Hermione goes with Viktor Krum, stunning everyone with her suddenly beautiful appearance at the ball. Ron is so jealously enraged at seeing Hermione with Krum (formerly his idol) that he attacks her and accuses her of “fraternizing with the enemy”. The ensuing argument leaves Hermione in tears (in the film version only).

Cedric Diggory, the other Hogwarts champion, informs Harry to submerge the egg in water and open it. There he will hear the clue. Harry does as told in the prefects’ enormous collective bath. The clue mentions that merpeople have taken something of Harry’s and that they must retrieve it from the Black Lake. Just as the three are trying to find a way to breathe underwater, Ron and Hermione are called to McGonagall’s office. Neville tells Harry about gillyweed, which, if eaten, can let you grow webbed hands and feet and gills. During the second task, Harry follows a mermaid to where they have chained Ron, Hermione, Cho Chang, and Fleur’s sister. Cho Chang is retrieved by Cedric, Victor, the Durmstrang champion, takes Hermione. Harry takes both Ron and Fleur’s sister, since she did not show up.

Finally, the third task arrives. A huge maze has been set up, in the center of which is the Triwizard Cup. The first to touch the cup wins the task. Dumbledore allows Harry and Cedric to be lead into the woods first, because they both received first and second place in the previous task. Both Cedric and Harry grab the cup at the same time. The cup, which is actually a portkey, sends the two to a graveyard, where Wormtail appears with a form of Voldemort. Upon command, Wormtail kills Cedric and binds Harry to a tombstone. Wormtail performs a spell over a burning cauldron and drops Voldemort into it. A fully revived Voldemort emerges from it and summons the Death Eaters with the Dark Mark. After explaining to them how he lost his powers to Harry, he duels Harry potter, in which their spells join in a chain. Harry breaks the chain and gets Cedric’s body. After grabbing the cup again, he is transported back to the school where everyone learns that the Dark Lord is back and has killed Cedric. Mad-Eye Moody takes Harry to his office in order to help Harry calm down. Moody suddenly starts to change his appearance when he learns that he has ran out of Polyjuice Potion. Moody tells Harry that it was him who told Hagrid to lead Harry and Cedric into the woods first. Moody also reveals that it was him who told Cedric to open the egg underwater and that he gave Neville the book that led him straight to discovering gillyweed in it. Harry realizes that Moody put his name in the Goblet of Fire and that he bewitched Krum. As Moody is about to kill Harry, Dumbledore, Snape, and McGonagall burst in the room and save Harry. Dumbledore makes Moody admit that he is an imposter and that the real Moody is locked in a chest. The imposter rapidly changes from appearing like Moody to his own appearance, Barty Crouch Jr, a Death Eater working for Voldemort. The tournament ends and the other schools depart.

advertisement
Professor Moody: The Goblet of Fire is an exceptionally powerful magical object. Only an exceptionally powerful Confundus charm could have hoodwinked it! Magic way beyond the talents of a fourth year.
Igor Karkaroff: You seem to have given this a fair bit of thought, Mad-Eye!
Professor Moody: It was once my job to think as Dark Wizards do, Karkaroff. Perhaps you remember.
Ron: [discussing inviting dates to the Yule Ball] This is mad! At this rate, we’ll be the only ones in our year without dates! Well, us and Neville.
Harry: [laughing] Yeah, but then again he could take himself.
Hermione: It might interest you to know that Neville’s already got someone.
Ron: What? Now I’m really depressed. Oi, Hermione… you’re a girl.
Hermione: [haughtily] Very well spotted.
Ron: Come with one of us! It’s one thing for a bloke to show up alone, but for a girl it’s just sad.
Hermione: [angrily] I won’t be going alone, because believe it or not, someone’s asked me! And I said yes!
[exits]
Ron: Bloody hell. She’s lying, right?
Harry: If you say so.
Cornelius Fudge: As Minister for Magic, it gives me great pleasure to welcome each and every one of you to the Finals of the 422nd Quidditch World Cup. Let the match begin!
Ron: Oh look, Mum’s sent me something.
[pulls some frilly robes from the package]
Ron: Mum sent me a dress!
Harry: Well, it does match your eyes. Is there a bonnet?
[pulls out more lace]
Harry: Ah ha!
Ron: Nose down, Harry. Ginny, this must be for you.
Ginny: I’m not wearing that, it’s ghastly.
Hermione: [laughing] They’re not for Ginny, they’re for you. Dress robes.
Ron: Dress robes? For what?
Harry: Why do they have to travel in packs? And how are you supposed to get one on their own to ask them?
[Stops in front of a group of girls, hesitates, then continues walking]
Ron: Blimey, Harry. You’ve slayed dragons. If you can’t get a date, who can?
Harry: I think I’d take the dragon now.
Cedric Diggory: I realize I never really thanked you properly for tipping me off about those dragons.
Harry: Forget about it. I’m sure you would’ve done the same for me.
Cedric Diggory: Exactly. You know the Prefects’ bathroom on the fifth floor? It’s not a bad place for a bath. Just take your egg and… mull things over in the hot water.
Hermione: Harry, you told me you’d figured that egg out weeks ago! The task is two days from now!
Harry: [sarcastically] Really? I had no idea. I suppose Viktor’s already figured it out.
Hermione: Wouldn’t know. We don’t actually talk about the tournament. Actually, we don’t really talk at all. Viktor’s more of a physical being.
[Harry laughs and Hermione blushes]
Hermione: I just mean he’s not particularly loquacious. Mostly, he watches me study. It’s a bit annoying, actually. You are trying to figure this egg out, aren’t you?
Harry: What’s that supposed to mean?
Hermione: It just means these tasks are designed to test you. In the most brutal way, they’re almost cruel. And… I’m scared for you. You got by the dragons mostly on nerve. I’m not sure it’s going to be enough this time.
[referring to Professor Moody]
Ron: Brilliant, isn’t he? Completely demented, of course. Terrifying to be in the same room with him. But he’s really been there, you know? He’s looked evil in the eye!
Hermione: [darkly] There’s a reason those curses are unforgivable.
Hermione: Look at this! I can’t believe it, she’s done it again!
[reading from the Daily Prophet]
Hermione: ‘Miss Granger, a plain but ambitious girl, seems to be developing a taste for famous wizards. Her latest pray, sources report, is none other than the Bulgarian bon-bon Viktor Krum. No word yet on how Harry Potter’s taking this latest emotional blow.’
Hermione: Victor’s gone to get drinks. Would you care to join us?
Ron: No, we would not care to join you and *Victor*.
Hermione: What’s got your wand in a knot?
Ron: He’s from Durmstrang! You’re fraternizing with the enemy!
Hermione: The enemy? Who was it wanting his autograph? Besides the whole point of the tournament is international magical cooperation. To make friends!
Ron: I think he’s got a bit more than friendship on his mind. He’s using you.
Hermione: How dare you! Besides, I can take care of myself!
Ron: Doubt it. He’s way too old.
Hermione: What? That’s what you think?
Ron: Yeah, that’s what I think.
Hermione: You know the solution, then, don’t you?
Ron: Go on.
Hermione: Next time there’s a ball pluck up the courage to ask me before someone else does! And not as a last resort!
Ron: Well… that… that’s completely off the point…
[after Harry almost dies in the First Task]
Ron: I reckon you’d have to be barking mad to put your own name in the Goblet of Fire.
Harry: [coldly] Caught on, have you? Took you long enough.
Ron: I wasn’t the only one who thought you’d done it. Everyone was saying it behind your back.
Harry: [sarcastically] Brilliant. That makes me feel loads better.
Ron: At least I warned you about the dragons.
Harry: Hagrid warned me about the dragons.
Ron: No, I did! Don’t you remember? I told Hermione to tell you that Seamus told me that Parvati told Dean that Hagrid was looking for you! Seamus never actually told me anything, so it was really me all along. I thought we’d be alright, you know, after you figured that out.
Harry: Who… who could possibly figure that out? It’s completely mental.
Ron: Yeah… it is, isn’t it. I suppose I was a bit distraught.
Harry: [smiles weakly]
Hermione: [in disbelief] Boys!
[about Krum]
Ron: Ruddy pumpkin head, isn’t he?
Professor Snape: Potter, what’s your hurry? Congratulations. Your performance in the Black Lake was inspiring. Gilllyweed, am I correct?
Harry: Yes sir.
Professor Snape: Ingenious. A rather rare herb, Gillyweed. Not something found in your everyday garden. Nor is this.
[holds up a bottle]
Professor Snape: Know what it is?
Harry: [sarcastically] Bubble juice, sir?
Professor Snape: Veritaserum. Three drops of this and You-Know-Who himself would spill his darkest secrets. The use of it on a student is, regrettably, forbidden. However, should you eve steal from my personal stores again, my hand might just slip over your morning pumpkin juice.
Harry: I haven’t stolen anything.
Professor Snape: Don’t lie to me! Gillyweed may be innocuous, but Boomslang skin? Lacewing flies? You and your little friends are brewing Polyjuice Potion, and believe me; I’m going to find out why!
[shuts the door in Harry's face]
Professor Moody: Alastor Moody. Ex-Auror, Ministry malcontent, and your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. I am here because Dumbledore asked me. End of story, goodbye, the end! Any questions? When it comes to the Dark Arts I believe in a practical approach. But first, which of you can tell me how many Unforgivable Curses there are?
Hermione: Three, sir.
Professor Moody: And they are so named?
Hermione: Because they are unforgivable. The use of any one of them will…
Professor Moody: Earn you a one-way ticket to Azkaban. Correct. The Ministry says you are too young to see what these curses do. I say different! You need to know what you’re up against. You need to be prepared…
[as he turns to the blackboard again, Seamus ducks under his desk]
Professor Moody: You need to find another place to put your chewing gum besides the underside of your desk, Mr. Finnegan!
Seamus: [whispering] No way, the old codger can see out of the back of his head!
Professor Moody: [throws a piece of chalk at him] And hear across classrooms!
Dumbledore: Do you know who I am? Do you?
Professor Moody: Albus Dumbledore.
Dumbledore: Are you Alastor Moody?
Professor Moody: …no.
Professor Moody: What was it like? What was he like?
Harry: Who?
Professor Moody: The Dark Lord. What was it like to stand in his presence?
Harry: …I dunno… It was like I’d fallen into one of my dreams. Into one of my nightmares.
Professor Moody: Were there others? In the graveyard, were there others?
Harry: …I don’t think I said anything about a graveyard, Professor.
Professor Moody: [mocking Hagrid] ‘Marvelous creatures, Dragons, aren’t they’. Do you think that miserable oaf would’ve sent you into the woods if I hadn’t suggested it? Do you think Cedric Diggory would’ve told you to open the egg underwater if I hadn’t told him first myself? Do you think Neville Longbottom, the witless wonder, could’ve provided you with Gillyweed if I hadn’t given him the book that led him strait to it?
Harry: It was you from the beginning! You put my name into the Goblet of Fire! You bewitched Krum!
Professor Moody: You won because I made it so, Potter! You ended up in that graveyard because it was meant to be so! And now the deed is done! The blood that runs in your veins runs within the Dark Lord! Imagine how he will reward me when he learns that I have once and for all silenced the great Harry Potter!
Barty Crouch Junior: I’ll show you mine if you show me yours.
Hermione: Harry? Is that you?
Harry: Yeah.
Hermione: How are you feeling? Ok? The key is to concentrate. After that, you just have to…
Harry: Battle a dragon.
Hermione: [gasps and starts hugging Harry. Then a camera flash breaks them apart]
Rita Skeeter: Young love! How… stirring. If everything goes unfortunately today, you two may even make the front page!
Viktor Krum: You have no business here! This tent is for champions, and friends.
Rita Skeeter: No matter. We got what we wanted.
Voldemort: The Boy-Who-Lived. How lies have fed your legend, Harry! Do you want to know what really happened thirteen years ago? Shall I divulge how I truly lost my powers? It was love. You see, when dear sweet Lily Potter gave her life for her only son, it provided him with the ultimate protection, I could not touch him. It was old magic, something I should have foreseen. But no matter, no matter, things have changed. I CAN TOUCH YOU… NOW!
[He places the pad of his finger on Harry's scar, and Harry immediately screams out in agony]
Voldemort: Astounding what a few drops of your blood will do, eh, Harry?
Harry: [after being Portkeyed away from the maze during the Third Task Harry suddenly realizes where they are] Cedric, we have to get back to the cup. NOW.
Cedric Diggory: What are you talking about?
Harry: [Flames burst beneath a huge stone cauldron as the door to a nearby house opens, revealing someone carrying a blanket-wrapped bundle. Harry drops to his knees, clutching his scar in agony] AAAAAGH!
Cedric Diggory: Harry, what is it?
Harry: Get back to the cup!
Cedric Diggory: [Cedric stands up, wand at the ready to defend both himself and Harry] Who are you, what do you want?
Voldemort: Kill the spare!
Peter Pettigrew: AVADA KEDAVRA!
Harry: NO! CEDRIC!
[Harry can only watch as Cedric is blasted off his feet and hits the ground behind him, dead]
Ron: Do you think we’ll ever just have a quiet year at Hogwarts?
Hermione, Harry: No.
Ron: Yeah, didn’t think so. Oh well, what’s life without a few dragons?
Hermione: Everything’s going to change now, isn’t it?
Harry: Yes.
Hermione: Promise you’ll write this summer, both of you.
Ron: Oh, I won’t. You know I won’t.
Hermione: Harry will, won’t you?
Harry: Yeah, every week.
Hermione: Harry! Are you alright? You must be freezing! Personally, I think you behaved admirably.
Harry: I finished last, Hermione.
Hermione: [kisses him on the top of the head] Next to last. Fleur never got past ‘ze grindylows’!
Neville: Oh my god! I’ve killed Harry Potter!
Ginny: [helping a speechless and queasy looking Ron into the common room] It’s ok, Ron. It’s alright. It doesn’t matter.
Harry: What happened to you?
Ginny: He just asked Fleur Delacour out.
Hermione: What?
Harry: What did she say?
Hermione: No, of course.
[Ron shakes his head in pained embarrassment]
Hermione: She said yes?
Ron: Don’t be silly. There she was, just walking by… you know how I like it when they walk… I couldn’t help it… it just sort of slipped out!
Ginny: Actually, he sort of screamed at her. It was a bit frightening.
Harry: What did you do then?
Ron: What else? I ran for it!
Voldemort: Harry! I’d almost forgotten you were here, standing on the bones of my father. I’d introduce you, but rumor has it you’re almost as famous as me these days.
Neville: Amazing! Amazing!
Harry: Neville, you’re doing it again.
Professor McGonagall: This can’t go on Albus. First the dark mark, now this?
Dumbledore: What do you suggest Minerva?
Professor McGonagall: Put an end to it! Don’t let Potter compete!
Dumbledore: You heard Barty. The rules are clear.
Professor McGonagall: Well the devil with Barty and his rules! And since when did you accommodate the Ministry?
Professor Snape: Headmaster I too find it difficult to believe this mere coincidence, however, if we are to truly discover the meaning of these events, perhaps we should, for the time being, let them unfold.
Professor McGonagall: Do nothing? Offer him up as bait? Potter is a boy! Not a piece of meat!
Dumbledore: I agree with Severus. Alastor, keep an eye on Harry will you?
Professor Moody: I can do that.
Dumbledore: Don’t let him know though, he must be anxious enough as it is, knowing what lies ahead. Then again, we all are.
Ron: [to Arthur Weasly] How far up are we, dad?
Lucius Malfoy: [from below] Well, put it this way. If it rains, you’ll be the first to know.
Voldemort: [looking at Cedric's body] Awww, tsk, tsk, tsk…
[nudges Cedric's face with his foot]
Voldemort: Such a handsome boy.
Harry: Don’t touch him!
Sirius Black: [in his letter] “Harry, I couldn’t risk sending Hedwig. Since the World Cup the Ministry has been intercepting more and more owls, and she’s too easily recognized. We need to talk, Harry, face to face. Meet me in the Gryffindor Common Room at one o’clock, this Saturday night. And make sure you’re alone. Sirius. P.S…?
[the bird bites Harry's hand]
Harry: AH!
Sirius Black: “The bird bites.”
[Professor McGonagall demonstrates a waltz with Ron as her partner]
Professor McGonagall: One-two-three, one-two-three…
Harry: [aside] You’re never gonna let him forget this, are you?
Fred, George: [shaking their heads] Never.
Neville: What’s wrong, Harry? You seem a little tense!
Harry: [through teeth] Do I?
Dumbledore: The Goblet of Fire! Anyone wishing to submit themselves to the tournament need only write their name upon a piece of parchment and throw it in the flame before this hour on Thursday night. Do not do so lightly! If chosen, there’s no turning back. As from this moment, The Triwizard Tournament has begun!
Dumbledore: Eternal glory! That’s what awaits the student who wins The Triwizard Tournament, but to this that student must survive three tasks. Three EXTREMELY DANGEROUS tasks.
Fred, George: Wicked!
Dumbledore: Your attention please. I’d like to say a few words. Eternal Glory. That is what awaits the Student who wins the TriWizard Tournament. But to do this the Student must survive three tasks. Three extremely dangerous tasks. To explain all this we have the Head of the Department of Inernational Magical Cooperation, Mr. Bartemus Crouch…
Hagrid: I take after my mum. Though I didn’t know her very well, she left when I was about three. Broke my dad’s heart, though. You know, he was a tiny little feller, my dad. I could pick him up at the age of six, with one hand, and put him up on the dresser.
[He and Olympe laugh]
Hagrid: He laughed so hard at that! And then he died, about when I started school. So I had to make my own way, so to speak… but enough about me. What about you?
Dumbledore: Well now that we’re all settled in and sorted, I’d like to make an announcement. This castle will not only be your home this year but home to some very special guests as well. You see, Hogwarts has been chosen to host a legendary event: The TriWizard Tournament. The Tournament brings together three schools for a series of magical contests. From each school a single student is selected to compete. Now let me be clear. If chosen, you stand alone. And trust me when I say, these contest are not for the faint-hearted. But more of that later.
Barty Crouch Junior: [casting the Dark Mark into the night sky] Morsmordre!
Hermione: It’s not going to work.
Fred: Oh yeah?
George: Why’s that, Granger?
Hermione: You see this?
[gestures to a glowing circle on the floor]
Hermione: This is an age line. Dumbledore drew it himself.
Fred: So?
Hermione: So a genius like Dumbledore couldn’t possibly be fooled by a dodge as pathetically dim witted as an ageing potion.
Fred: Ah, but that’s why it’s so brilliant!
George: Because it’s so pathetically dim witted.
Professor Moody: What are you going to do about your dragon?
Harry: Oh… um… well, you know, I just thought I’d…
Professor Moody: Listen to me, Potter. Your pal Diggory? By your age he could turn a whistle into a watch and have it sing you the time. Miss Delacour is as much a fairy princess as I am. As for Krum, his head may be filled with sawdust, but Karkaroff’s is not. They’ll have a strategy. And you can bet that it will play to Krum’s strengths. Come on, Potter, what are you strengths?
Harry: I dunno… I can fly, I mean I’m a fair flyer…
Professor Moody: Better than fair the way I heard it.
Harry: But I’m not allowed a broom.
Professor Moody: You’re allowed a wand…
Seamus: It’s not like I *try* to blow things up, exactly, it just sorta happens. You gotta admit though, fire is fascinating.
Voldemort: Don’t you turn your back on me, Harry Potter! I want you to look at me when I kill you! I want to see the light leave your eyes!
Harry: [facing Voldemort] Have it your way!
Voldemort, Harry: [both shouting together] Avada Kedavara!/Expelliarmus!
[after the dragon has run into the teachers stand]
Fred: [yelling] Well done dragon!
Cornelius Fudge: For God’s sake Dumbledore, what’s happened?
Harry: [crying over Cedric's body] He’s back! He’s back! Voldemort’s back! Cedric, he asked me to bring his body back. I couldn’t leave him… not there!
Dumbledore: It’s all right, Harry… it’s all right. He’s home, you both are.
Cornelius Fudge: [Rushing over to Professors Snape and McGonagall] Keep everybody in their seats, a boy has just been killed! The body must be moved, Dumbledore, there are too many people!
Amos Diggory: [Pushing his way frantically through the crowd] Let me through. LET ME THROUGH! Let me through, THAT’S MY SON! That’s my boy!
[He pushes Harry's hands away and leans over Cedric's body, sobbing hysterically]
Amos Diggory: IT’S MY BOY!
Harry: Why are they all standing around that manky old boot?
Harry: Ron, where are we actually going?
Ron: Don’t know…
[to Arthur]
Ron: Hey, Dad! Where are we going?
Arthur Weasley: Haven’t the foggiest! Keep up!
Amos Diggory: Total shambles, as per usual.
Professor Moody: [points to a mirror in his office] That’s my Foe-Glass. Lets me keep an eye on my enemies. When I see the whites of their eyes, it means they’re right behind me.
[a trunk in the office rocks violently, and a low moan comes from inside]
Professor Moody: Wouldn’t even bother to tell you what’s in there, wouldn’t believe me if I did.
[repeated line]
Dumbledore: At the sound of the cannon…
[cannon fires]
Malfoy: Why so tense, Potter? My father and I have a bet, you see. See, I don’t think you’re going to last ten minutes in this tournament. He disagrees. He thinks you won’t last five!
Harry: I don’t give a damn what your father thinks, Malfoy! He’s vile and cruel, and you’re just pathetic!
Harry: You’re being stupid.
Ron: Yeah, that’s me. Ron Weasley, Harry Potter’s stupid friend!
Padma Patil: [to Ron] Don’t you look… dashing.
Cedric Diggory: For a moment there, I thought you were going to let it get me.
Harry: For a moment there, so did I!
James Potter: Harry! When the connection is broken you MUST get to the Portkey. We can linger for a moment to give you some time but only a moment. Do you understand?
Cedric Diggory: Harry. Take my body back, will you? Take my body back to my father.
Lily Potter: Let go. Sweetheart, you’re ready. Let go… LET GO!
[Moody takes a drink from his flask]
Seamus: What do you suppose he’s got there?
Harry: I don’t know, but I don’t think it’s pumpkin juice.
Harry: ‘Come seek us where our voices sound’.
Hermione: The Black Lake, that’s obvious.
Harry: ‘An hour long you’ll have to look’.
Hermione: Again, obvious. Though admittedly potentially problematic…
Harry: Potentially problematic? When was the last time you held your breath underwater for an hour, Hermione?
Dumbledore: No spell can reawaken the dead, Harry. I trust you know that. Dark and difficult times lie ahead. Soon we must all face the choice between what is right and what is easy.
Rita Skeeter: So tell me, Harry. Here you sit, a mere boy of 12…
Harry: – I’m 14…
Rita Skeeter: – about to compete against three students who are not only vastly more emotionally mature than yourself, but who’ve mastered spells that you wouldn’t attempt in your dizziest daydreams. Concerned?
Harry: I dunno, I haven’t really thought about it…
Rita Skeeter: Because you’re no ordinary boy of 12 are you?
Harry: 14.
Rita Skeeter: Your story’s legend. Do you think it was the trauma of your past that made you so keen to enter such a dangerous tournament?
Harry: No, I didn’t enter.
Rita Skeeter: Of course you didn’t.
[winks]
Rita Skeeter: Everyone loves a rebel, Harry. Speaking of your parents, were they alive, how do you think they’d feel? Proud? Or concerned that your attitude shows, at best, a pathological need for attention? The worst psychotic death wish.
[Harry glances at Rita's notes]
Harry: Hey, my eyes aren’t glistening with the ghosts of my past!
Voldemort: My wand, Wormtail.
Harry: Dragons? That’s the first task? You’re joking!
Hagrid: Come on, Harry. They’re seriously misunderstood creatures. Although, I have to admit, that Horntail is a right nasty piece of work. Poor Ron nearly fainted just seeing them, you know.
Harry: Ron was here?
Hagrid: Well sure. His brother Charlie had to bring them over from Romania. Didn’t Ron tell you that?
Harry: No he didn’t. He didn’t tell me a thing.
Ron: [about Hermione] Why do you think she won’t tell us who she’s going to the ball with?
Harry: ‘Cause she knows we’d take the mickey out of her if she did.
Neville: You know, if you’re interested in plants, you should use Goshawk’s Guide To Herbology. There’s someone in Tibet who’s growing gravity resistant trees…
Harry: Neville, no offense, but I really don’t care about plants. Now, if there’s a Tibetan turnip that will help me breathe underwater for an hour, great. But otherwise…
Neville: I don’t know about turnips, but you could always use gillyweed.
Harry: You’re sure about this, Neville?
Neville: Absolutely.
Harry: For an hour?
Neville: Most likely.
Harry: “Most likely?”
Neville: Well, there’s some debate among herbologists about its effectiveness in fresh water as opposed to salt water…
Harry: You’re telling me this *now*?
Ron: What are those?
Harry: My dress robes…
Ron: Well, those’re all right! No lace, no dodgy little collar…
Harry: Well, I expect yours are more traditional…
Ron: Traditional? They’re ancient! I look like my great aunt Tessie!
[takes a sniff in the underarm area]
Ron: I smell like my great Aunt Tessie!
Harry: [in the Prefects' Bathroom, looks at the Golden Egg with trepidation] I must be out of my mind.
[he opens it, and it emits its usual high-pitched squeal before he slams it shut]
Harry: I’m definitely out of my mind.
Moaning Myrtle: I’d try putting it in the water if I were you.
Harry: [startled] Myrtle!
Moaning Myrtle: Hello Harry! Long time no see! I was circling a blocked drain the other day, I could swear I saw a bit of Polyjuice Potion. Not being a bad boy again, are we?
Harry: Polyjuice Potion? Kicked the habit. Myrtle, did you say try putting it in the water?
Moaning Myrtle: That’s what he did, the other boy. The handsome one. Cedric. Well go on, open it.
Harry: [opens the egg underwater]
Voice inside the egg: Come seek us where our voices sound, we cannot sing above the ground. An hour long you’ll have to look to recover what we took.
Harry: Myrtle, there aren’t Merpeople in the Black Lake, are there?
Moaning Myrtle: Oh, very good. It took Cedric ages to riddle it out. Almost all the bubbles were gone…
Barty Crouch Junior: Hello, father!
Barty Crouch: You are no son of mine…
Voldemort: I’m going to kill you, Harry Potter. I’m going to destroy you. After tonight, no one will ever again question my power. After tonight if they speak of you, they’ll only speak of how you begged for death. And how I being a merciful Lord… obliged.
Harry: I didn’t put my name in that cup! I don’t want eternal glory, I just wanna be… look, I don’t know what happened tonight and I don’t know why. It just did.
Harry: In the graveyard, my wand and Voldemort’s sort of… connected.
Dumbledore: Priori Incantatem.
Voldemort: Nagini tells me that the old Muggle caretaker is standing right outside the door. Step aside, Wormtail, so that I can give our guest a proper greeting. Avada Kedavra!
Professor McGonagall: Inside every girl is a swan, waiting to burst out in flight.
Ron: [whispering] Something is about to burst out of Eloise Midgen, but I don’t think it’s a swan.
Harry: I love magic.
Karkaroff’s Aide: May I have your arm?
Parvati Patil: Arm, leg, I’m yours.
[repeated line]
Ron: Bloody hell!
Professor McGonagall: Professor Moody! What are you doing?
Professor Moody: Teaching.
Professor McGonagall: Teach – is that a student?
Professor Moody: Technically it’s a ferret.
Ron: Piss off.
Hermione: Ron, you spoiled everything!
Hermione: Ronald would like me to tell you that Seamus told him that Dean was told by Parvarti that Hagrid’s looking for you.
Harry: Is that right? Well… what?
Hermione: Uh… Dean was told by Parvarti… please don’t ask me to say it again. Hagrid’s looking for you.
Harry: Well you can tell Ronald…
Hermione: I’m not an owl!
Dumbledore: People change in the maze. Oh, find the cup if you can. But be very wary; you could just lose yourselves along the way.
[repeated line]
Parvati Patil, Padma Patil: Hi, Harry!
Sirius Black: I don’t have much time, Harry, so let’s get right to it. Did you or did you not put your name into the Goblet of Fire?
Harry: No!
Sirius Black: Shh. I had to ask. Now tell me about this dream of yours. You mentioned Wormtail and Voldemort, but who was the third man in the room?
Harry: I dunno.
Sirius Black: You didn’t hear a name?
Harry: No. Voldemort was giving him a job to do. Something important.
Sirius Black: And what was that?
Harry: He wants… me. I don’t know why, but he was going to use this man to get to me. But, I mean, it was only a dream, right?
Sirius Black: Yes… it’s just a dream. Look, Harry, the Death Eaters at the world cup; your name rising out of the Goblet of Fire; these are not just coincidences! Hogwarts isn’t safe anymore.
Harry: What are you saying?
Sirius Black: I’m saying the devils are inside the walls. Igor Karkaroff. He was a Death Eater and no one, *no one* stops being a Death Eater. Then there’s Barty Crouch. Heart of stone, sent his own son to Azkaban.
Harry: Do you think one of them put my name in the Goblet?
Sirius Black: I haven’t a clue who put your name in the Goblet, Harry, but whoever did is no friend to you. People die in this tournament.
Harry: I’m not ready for this, Sirius!
Harry: You don’t have a choice
Parvati Patil: [turns around and sees Hermione] She looks beautiful.
Harry: [staring at Cho] Yes, she does.
Dumbledore: Harry, feel free to treat yourself to a licorice snap. But be careful, they’re a wee bit sharp.
Harry: I just wondered if…
[bird squawks loudly in the background]
Harry: Ijustwanderedifmaybeyouwantedtogototheballwithme!
Cho Chang: Sorry, I didn’t catch that.
Harry: I was just wondering if maybe you wanted to go to the ball with me…
Cho Chang: Oh.
[Suddenly looking very uncomfortable]
Cho Chang: Harry, I’m sorry but someone’s already asked me. And well, I’ve, I’ve said I’ll go with him.
Harry: Okay, great, good, fine, great, no problem.
[turns to head into the Owlery]
Cho Chang: Harry! I really am… sorry.
[manages a weak, embarrassed smiled as she descends the staircase]
Dumbledore: Curiosity is not a sin, Harry. However, from time to time, you should exercise caution.
Dumbledore: [to Harry] I never liked these curtains. I set them on fire in my fourth year. Accidentally, of course.
[first lines]
Frank Bryce: Bloody kids!
Voldemort: You’ve been taught how to duel, I presume? First we bow to each other
[Voldemort bows, Harry does not]
Voldemort: Come now, Harry, the niceties must be observed. Dumbledore would not want you to forget your manners. I said, “Bow.”
[uses a curse to make Harry bow]
Professor McGonagall: Now, Mr. Weasley, place your right hand on my waist.
Ron: Where?
Rita Skeeter: This is cozy.
Harry: It’s a broom cupboard.
Rita Skeeter: Well you should feel right at home, then.
Arthur Weasley: Get out of the kitchen, Ron! Everybody’s hungry!
George, Fred: [together] Get out of the kitchen!
Arthur Weasley: [to the twins] Feet off the table!
George, Fred: [together] Feet off the table!
[put feet back on the table]
Professor McGonagall: The house of Godric Gryffindor has commanded the respect of the wizarding world for nearly ten centuries. I will not have you, in one night, besmirching that name by behaving like a babbling, bumbling band of baboons!
Fred: [whispering to George] Try saying that five times fast.
George: [whispering] Babbling, bumbling band of baboons.
Fred: [whispering] Babbling, bumbling band of baboons.
Ron: There’s no one like Krum! He’s like a bird the way he rides the wind! He’s more than an athlete! He’s an artist.
Ginny: I think you’re in love, Ron.
Ron: Shut up!
George: [grabs one of Ron's hands and begins singing] Victor, I love you!
Fred: [grabs Ron's other hand] Victor, I do!
George, Fred, Harry: When we’re apart my heart beats only for you!
Seamus: Blimey! That’s one big woman.
[after getting his kiss from Fleur]
Ron: Merci…
Professor Moody: Stupid ceiling.
Harry: What’s with the flower? Hagrid… have you combed your hair?
Hagrid: ‘S a matter of fact I have. You might want to try the same thing now and again.
Professor McGonagall: Mr. Potter, are you and Miss Patil ready?
Harry: Ready, Professor?
Professor McGonagall: To dance! It’s tradition that the three champions-well in this case four- are the first to dance. Surely I told you?
Harry: No.
Professor McGonagall: Oh, well, now you know.
Malfoy: [after Moody humilates him by turning him into a ferret and bouncing him up and down] My father will hear about this!
Professor Moody: Is that a threat?
[He steps forward, and Malfoy runs around the tree, Moody following]
Professor Moody: Is that a threat? Is that a threat?
[Malfoy flees]
Professor McGonagall: Professor Moody! Professor!
Professor Moody: [yelling after him ] I could tell you stories about your father that would curl even your greasy hair, boy!
Professor McGonagall: Alastor!
Professor Moody: It doesn’t end here!
Professor McGonagall: Alastor, we never use transfiguration as a punishment. Surely Dumbledore told you that?
Professor Moody: He might have mentioned it.
Professor McGonagall: Well then. Do well to remember it!
[She stalks off, and Moody makes a face at her retreating back]
Peter Pettigrew: Bone of the father, unwillingly given.
[adds old bone to cauldron]
Peter Pettigrew: Flesh of the servant, willingly sacrificed.
[cuts off hand which drops into cauldron]
Peter Pettigrew: Blood of the enemy, forcibly taken.
[cuts Harry's arm and adds blood to cauldron]
Peter Pettigrew: The Dark Lord shall rise again!
Dumbledore: Today we acknowledge a really terrible loss. Cedric Diggory was, as you all know, exceptionally hard working, infinitely fair-minded, and most importantly, a fierce, fierce friend. Therefore, I feel you have the right to know exactly how he died. You see, Cedric Diggory was murdered, by Lord Voldemort. The Ministry of Magic does not wish me to tell you this. But not to do so I feel would be an insult to his memory. Now the pain we all feel at this dreadful loss reminds me, and, reminds us, that though we may come from different countries and speak in different tongues, our hearts beat as one. In light of the recent events, the bonds of friendship made this year will be more important than ever. Remember that, and Cedric Diggory will not have died in vain. You remember that, and we’ll celebrate a boy who was kind, and honest, and brave, and true. Right to the very end.
Voldemort: [after the Death Eaters have Apparated to the graveyard] Welcome, my friends. Thirteen years it’s been, and yet, here you stand as if it were only yesterday. I confess myself… disappointed. Not one of you tried to find me…
[running around and angrily ripping masks off several followers]
Voldemort: Crabbe! Macnair! Goyle! Not even you, Lucius.
Lucius Malfoy: [sinking to the ground] My Lord, had I detected any sign… a whisper of your whereabouts…
Voldemort: Oh there were signs, my slippery friend, and more than whispers.
Lucius Malfoy: I assure you, my Lord, I have never renounced the old ways. The face I have been obliged to present since your… absence…
[removes his hood]
Lucius Malfoy: That is my true mask.
Igor Karkaroff: [a highly agitated Karkaroff is following Snape around outside the Yule Ball as Snape patrols through the carriages parked on the grounds] It’s happening again, like before, and soon neither you nor anyone else will be able to deny it.
Professor Snape: I’ve told you already Igor, I see no reason to discuss it.
[notices one carriage that is definitely occupied and blasts the door open with his wand, shooing out the students]
Professor Snape: Lumos! Ten points from Hufflepuff, Fawcett, and the same from Ravenclaw, Stebbins.
Igor Karkaroff: It’s a sign, Severus, you know it is.
Professor Snape: Sorry, I don’t know what you’re talking about.
Igor Karkaroff: Really? Then perhaps you wouldn’t mind rolling up your sleeve them, huh?
[reaches for Snape's left arm, which Snape quickly pulls out of his way]
Igor Karkaroff: You don’t fool me, Severus. You are scared. Admit it!
Professor Snape: I have nothing to be scared of, Igor. Can you say the same?
[the Trio sits around the fireplace in the Gryffindor Common Room, digesting the murder of Barty Crouch, Sr. that has just taken place]
Ron: They’ll cover this up, you watch. Fudge’ll sell his soul before this gets out in the Daily Prophet.
Harry: But why?
Ron: Look, nobody liked Crouch. I know this from my father. Loads of people wanted him dead. But, he was a Ministry Official. It’s not even like he turned up stiff in Knockturn Alley. He was murdered at Hogwarts. This is a big deal.
Hermione: It can’t be coincidence… Harry’s dreams, his scar hurting, the Dark Mark, his name coming out of the Goblet of Fire. Surviving the Tournament isn’t the answer anymore Harry. It’s bigger than this. And I really think you should go to Dumbledore.
Ron: Yeah.
Ron: What do you suppose is on Karkaroff’s arm?
Harry: I dunno.
Hermione: Boomslang skin and Lacewing flies… you’re sure those are the two ingredients Snape mentioned?
Harry: Positive, why?
Hermione: Well, he thinks we’re brewing Polyjuice Potion doesn’t he?
Harry: I don’t care what Snape thinks, I’ve got bigger problems than detention. Something’s coming closer.
[touches his stinging scar]
Harry: I can feel it.
Dumbledore: Hogwarts, let’s entertain our friends in the best way we can, all stand!
[the entire student body stands up as one]
Dumbledore: Maestro, if you will!
[Professor Flitwick and Dumbledore both begin conducting the students as they sing the school song]
Hogwarts student body: ‘Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy warty Hogwarts, teach us something please. Whether we be old and bald or young with scabby knees. Our heads could do with filling with some interesting stuff, for now they’re bare and full or air, dead flies and bits of fluff!’
[as they are singing, the Durmstrang and Beauxbatons students merely stare, as if they can't believe what they are seeing/hearing]
Barty Crouch: Chinese Fireball! Ooooo!
Arthur Weasley: [after the trio is nearly hit by several Stunning Spells] Stop! That’s my son!
[he runs up to the kids]
Arthur Weasley: Ron, Harry, Hermione are you alright?
Ron: We came back for Harry.
Barty Crouch: [Whipping out his wand and pointing it threateningly between the three kids] Which of you conjured it?
Arthur Weasley: Barty, you can’t be serious…
Barty Crouch: DO NOT LIE! You have been discovered at the scene of the crime!
Harry: Crime?
Arthur Weasley: Barty, they’re just kids.
Harry: What crime?
Hermione: It’s the Dark Mark, Harry. It’s HIS Mark.
Harry: [glances up at the huge skull and snake in the air] Voldemort? Those people, in the masks, they’re his too aren’t they? His followers.
Arthur Weasley: Death Eaters.
Barty Crouch: [to the rest of the Ministry Wizards] Follow me.
Harry: Uh, there was a man, earlier.
[he points in the direction where he saw Crouch, Jr]
Harry: There.
Barty Crouch: All of you, this way!
Arthur Weasley: A man, Harry? Who was he?
Harry: I don’t know. I didn’t see his face.
George: Ready Fred?
Fred: Ready George!
George, Fred: Bottoms up!
[they drink the ageing potion together]
[referring to the mayhem at the World Cup and the Dark Mark]
Hermione: This is horrible! How can the ministry not know who conjured it? Wasn’t there any security?
Ron: Loads, according to Dad. That’s what worries them so much. It happened right under their noses.
Rita Skeeter: What a charismatic quartet! Hello, I’m Rita Skeeter. I write for the daily prophet. But, of course, you know that, don’t you? It’s you we don’t know. You’re the juicy news. What quirks lurk beneath those rosy cheeks? What mysteries do the muscles mask? Does courage lie beneath those curls? In short, what makes a champion tick? Me, myself and I want to know. Not to mention my ravid readers. So, who’s feeling up to sharing? Shall we start with the youngest? Lovely.
Harry: Dragons, that’s the first task. They’ve got one for each of us.
Cedric Diggory: Are you serious? And Fleur and Krum, do they…?
Harry: Yes.
Cedric Diggory: Right. Hey, listen, about the badges. I’ve asked them not to wear them…
Harry: Don’t worry about it.
Harry: You’re a right foul git, you know that?
Ron: You think so?
Harry: I know so!
Ron: Anything else?
Harry: Yeah, stay away from me!
Ron: Fine.
Hermione: Your wand, Harry! Your wand!
Fred: We knew you wouldn’t die, Harry!
George: Might lose a leg.
Fred: Or an arm.
George: But pack it in all together?
Fred, George: Never!
Padma Patil: Is that Hermione Granger with Viktor Krum?
Ron: No. Absolutely not.
Hagrid: I remember when I first met you all. Biggest bunch of misfits I ever set eyes on! You reminded me of myself a little. And here we all are, four years later.
Ron: We’re still a bunch of misfits.
Hagrid: Well maybe. But you’ve all got each other. And Harry of course, soon to be THE YOUNGEST TRI-WIZARD CHAMPION THERE’S EVER BEEN! HOORAY!
Professor Moody: So, what curse shall we see first? Weasley!
Ron: [scared] Yes?
Professor Moody: Stand!
[Ron does]
Professor Moody: Give us a curse.
Ron: Well… my dad did tell me about one. The Imperius Curse?
Professor Moody: Oh, yeah, your dad would know all about that one. Gave the Ministry a lot of trouble at one time. Perhaps this will show you why.
[opens a jar full of spiders and picks one out]
Professor Moody: Hello, my little beauty! Engorgio.
[the spider grows to a huge size]
Professor Moody: Imperio!
[the spider begins hopping around the room, onto student's clothes, faces, etc. Everyone starts laughing]
Professor Moody: Don’t worry, she’s completely harmless! If she bites… she’s lethal!
[laughs with everyone]
Professor Moody: Talented, isn’t she? What shall I have her do next? Jump out the window?
[the spider jumps toward the window, which is closed, and slams into the glass. Everyone stops laughing at once]
Professor Moody: Drown herself?
[the spider jumps to a pail of water and poises on the rim, ready to dive. Then he brings her back to his arms]
Professor Moody: Scores of wizards and witches claimed that they only did You-Know-Who’s bidding under the effects of the Imperius Curse. But here’s the rub… how do we sort out the liars?
[Moody walks to Hermione's desk and places the spider in front of her]
Professor Moody: Perhaps you’d like to give us the last curse, Miss Granger?
[tears swimming in her eyes, Hermione shakes her head vigorously]
Professor Moody: No?
[pause]
Professor Moody: AVADA KEDAVRA!
[with a flash of green light, the spider lets out one final squeak, then stops moving. Hermione cannot even look]
Professor Moody: The Killing Curse. Only one wizard is known to have survived it. And he’s sitting in this room.
[he stands in front of Harry]
Dumbledore: Send a message to Azkaban. I think they’ll find they’re missing a prisoner.
Barty Crouch Junior: [gloating] I’ll be welcomed back like a hero!
Dumbledore: Perhaps. Personally, I’ve never had much time for heroes.
Professor Moody: Let’s have another curse. C’mon, c’mon.
[Neville's hand slowly goes up, and Moody calls on him]
Professor Moody: Longbottom, isn’t it? Professor Sprout tells me you have an aptitude for Herbology.
Neville: Th-there’s um… the Cruciatus Curse.
Professor Moody: Correct! Correct! Particularly nasty.
[he leads Neville up to his desk and puts the spider down in front of him]
Professor Moody: The torture curse. CRUCIO!
[the spider begins to squeak and writhe in pain. Neville flinches, almost unable to watch as the spider continues to curl itself up in agony]
Hermione: Stop it! Can’t you see it’s bothering him? STOP IT!
[Moody lifts the curse, and again palms the spider. Neville is left standing at the desk, looking shell-shocked]
George: Three People will go down…
Fred: But will three come up?
Ginny: Why do have to be so mean?

Plot

Several weeks into the summer, Harry Potter has heard nothing from his friends or acquaintances from the wizard world. Finding himself walking down a street with his cousin Dudley, the two of them are attacked by a pair of Dementors. Harry drives them off with a Patronus Charm, and is surprised to learn that the Dursleys’ elderly neighbour Arabella Figg, is a Squib and has been keeping an eye on him on Albus Dumbledore’s orders. On returning home, he immediately receives a notice of expulsion from Hogwarts for using magic outside school, and that his wand is to be snapped, though these decisions are reversed, set to be decided at a disciplinary hearing. One night, an advance guard from the Order of the Phoenix arrives at the house and escorts Harry to their secret headquarters at Number Twelve, Grimmauld Place in London, where Harry joins the Weasley family, Hermione Granger, and Harry’s godfather Sirius Black.

They tell Harry that Voldemort is building an army and is attempting to retrieve a weapon, but is still moving in secret. In this, he is actually aided by the Ministry, since Minister Cornelius Fudge is conducting an extensive smear campaign against Harry, Dumbledore, and anyone else who says Voldemort is back. Knowing that Voldemort’s return would mean mass panic and then open war, Fudge prefers to believe that Dumbledore is lying and attempting to supplant him as Minister.

A few days later, Arthur Weasley escorts Harry to his expulsion hearing, which Fudge has done everything in his power to slant against him. But testimony from Dumbledore and Mrs Figg confirms the presence of the Dementors, and Harry is found to have acted in self-defence.

Shortly before returning to Hogwarts, Harry is surprised and a little disappointed when Ron and Hermione, but not he, are made prefects of Gryffindor House.

Along the way to Hogwarts, on the Hogwarts express, Harry meets a girl named Luna Lovegood, whom no one likes because they think that she is crazy. At the welcome feast, the trio are surprised that their new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts is Dolores Umbridge, a hostile Ministry official who presided at Harry’s hearing. Hermione guesses, correctly, that her appointment is a sign that the Ministry is interfering at Hogwarts. As a teacher, Umbridge forces the students to study magical theory out of textbooks, rather than practical defence methods (according to Sirius, Fudge is so paranoid that he now believes Dumbledore is recruiting students into a private army). A short time later, she is appointed as High Inquisitor, with the power to evaluate and dismiss other teachers, and impose strict rules and regulations on students.

Underneath her cloying façade, Umbridge imposes sadistic punishments on naughty students, her favourite being to make them write lines with blood quills (which cut the words into the skin when used, and uses the writer’s own blood as ink). She focuses particularly on Harry, as part of Fudge’s campaign to silence his “lies” about Voldemort’s return. Her punishments also include banning Harry from the Gryffindor Quidditch team.

She is also intensely bigoted, harbouring deep loathing for “half-breeds”, such as centaurs, werewolves, and Rubeus Hagrid (a half-giant). In short order, she dismisses Sybill Trelawney as incompetent and places Hagrid on probation. Although Dumbledore is unable to prevent Trelawney’s dismissal, he invokes his authority to allow her to remain in the castle and appoints a new Divination teacher — the centaur, Firenze.

Hagrid was absent for half the year, he reveals to Harry, Ron, and Hermione, because of a diplomatic mission to the giants on Dumbledore’s orders, to try to dissuade them from joining Voldemort. His mission was a failure, but he also reveals, somewhat shamefacedly, that he secretly brought one of the giants back – his half-brother Grawp, whom he has been keeping tied up in the Forbidden Forest and trying to “civilize.”

Because Umbridge’s lessons are useless both for passing their O.W.L.s and for preparing for the very real threat of Voldemort, Hermione decides that the students need to learn the subject themselves. Harry is surprised when she proposes him as a teacher, but she reminds him that his adventures of the last four years at Hogwarts have actually made him an authority on the subject. Several other students from Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Hufflepuff likewise sign up to the clandestine group, named “Dumbledore’s Army” in mockery of Fudge’s paranoia.

Under Harry’s tutoring, the group learns defensive magic. At the last meeting before Christmas, Cho Chang stays after, and Harry, hoping to receive a Merry Christmas, gets an even bigger surprise – a kiss. When they return to Hogwarts after Christmas break, Harry asks her to go with him to Hogsmeade on Valentine’s Day. However, while they are there, Harry mistakenly makes Cho think he likes Hermione. Cho breaks up with him.

To combat the Ministry’s smear campaign against Harry and Dumbledore, Hermione blackmails yellow journalist Rita Skeeter into writing an interview with Harry about his witnessing Voldemort’s return. Ravenclaw student Luna Lovegood‘s father publishes the story in his magazine, The Quibbler. Furious, Umbridge bans the Quibbler from the school, but the story spreads rapidly, garnering support for Harry. Harry and Cho get back together.

Midway through the year, the school is alarmed to hear news of a mass prison break from Azkaban Prison, when ten of Voldemort’s most powerful Death Eaters escape. Many wizards are not satisfied with the Ministry’s official explanation, and begin to come around to Dumbledore and Harry’s claims, while the D.A. members are inspired to work even harder.

Eventually Umbridge’s Inquisitorial Squad, comprising mostly Slytherin students, uncover the D.A. meetings, helped by a member of the D.A. named Marietta, who told Umbridge about the meetings. To protect Harry and other students from reprisals, Dumbledore claims that he organized the group to counter Voldemort. Confronted by Fudge, Percy Weasley, Umbridge and Aurors (John Dawlish and Kingsley Shacklebolt), Dumbledore easily overpowers them and is whisked away by his phoenix, Fawkes. Cho, who is Marietta’s friend, gets mad at Harry for accusing Marietta and breaks up with him again.

Umbridge becomes Headmistress and enacts even stricter rules and fires Hagrid. The disenchanted Weasley twins revolt, unleashing relentless magical chaos throughout the school, while the staff purposely do nothing to help Umbridge regain control. The twins are caught, but summoning their confiscated brooms, they fly away, leaving Hogwarts to open their own joke shop.

Throughout the year, Harry has disturbing dreams about running down a hallway and attempting to open a door in the Ministry’s Department of Mysteries. Shortly before Christmas, he dreams he is a snake attacking Ron’s father. Mr Weasley is indeed found injured at the Ministry, suffering from severe venomous snakebites, causing Harry to fear that Voldemort is possessing him. In response, Dumbledore has Severus Snape teach Harry Occlumency to block his mind from intrusion, but their mutual animosity ends their lessons prematurely. In the course of these lessons, Harry inadvertently sees one of Snape’s memories from his school years, and is shocked to see his father James Potter bullying Snape and acting as arrogantly as Snape always said that he did. He also notices (but is not surprised) that Snape refers to his mother as a mudblood, despite the fact that she defended him.

In the middle of his last O.W.L. exam, Harry has a vision of Sirius being tortured at the Department of Mysteries, although Hermione suspects it may be a trap. Harry, with help from various members of Dumbledore’s Army, attempts to contact Sirius at Grimmauld Place via the Floo Network in Umbridge’s office fireplace, but he is caught. Believing that he is attempting to contact the fugitive Dumbledore, Umbridge interrogates Harry, who swears he does not know where he is. Umbridge summons Snape to bring truth serum, but Snape says he has run out. Before Snape leaves her office, Harry desperately tells him in code about his vision of Sirius.

Reaching the end of her patience, Umbridge announces that she plans to use the illegal torture curse on Harry. She is sure that no one will find out or even care, and reveals that it was she and not Voldemort who sent the Dementors to attack him, in an attempt to frame or silence him. As she raises her wand to administer the curse, Hermione pretends to crack and confesses Dumbledore has hidden a powerful weapon in the Forbidden Forest. She leads Harry and Umbridge into the forest where they encounter the centaurs. Umbridge foolishly insults them and an angry centaur carries her off screaming into the woods. However, the centaurs are just as hostile toward Harry and Hermione, but they are saved when Grawp crashes onto the scene and they escape amid the chaos. Running back to the castle, they encounter Ron, and D.A. members Ginny, Neville and Luna, who insist on accompanying them. The students fly to London on the school’s Thestrals.

Reaching the room in his dreams, The Hall of Prophecy, Harry sees that Sirius is not there, but notices a glass ball containing some kind of record, that has been labelled with his name. As soon as he takes it down off the shelf, a squad of Death Eaters surrounds them, including many of the recent escapees, and led by Lucius Malfoy. Malfoy reveals that Voldemort planted a false vision to lure Harry to the Ministry, as he is the only one (besides Voldemort himself) who can remove the prophecy from its shelf. The prophecy is “the weapon” Voldemort has been after the entire year.

Harry and his friends heroically defend themselves, putting up a far tougher fight than the dark wizards expected, but are outmatched. As they are nearly defeated, members of the Order arrive, including Sirius. During the ensuing battle, the glass sphere that Voldemort was seeking is accidentally dropped and shatters, and the record is lost. However, just as Dumbledore arrives in person to help, Sirius is blasted with a spell by his Death Eater cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange, and falls backwards through a mysterious veiled archway. Lupin restrains Harry from going after him; Sirius is dead.

The Death Eaters are captured except for Bellatrix, whom Harry pursues into the Ministry’s atrium. Bellatrix is far more powerful, but is taken aback with horror when Harry taunts her that the prophecy has been destroyed, and their mission has failed. In a rage, Voldemort appears in person and attacks Harry, but is confronted by Dumbledore. The two duel furiously, but each is unable to finish the other. In an attempt to break the stalemate, Voldemort possesses Harry and tortures him, hoping that Dumbledore will kill Harry to destroy Voldemort. However, in the midst of his torture, Harry re-visits his grief for Sirius, and Voldemort is unexpectedly repelled by the emotion. Fudge and the Aurors arrive in time to see the Dark Lord before he Disapparates, taking Bellatrix with him. Fudge finally admits that Voldemort has returned. Rita Skeeter‘s story is reprinted in the Daily Prophet, exonerating Harry and Dumbledore.

Speaking alone to Harry in his office, Dumbledore reveals that he has kept many things hidden from Harry over the past five years. For instance, why he placed the baby Harry with the Dursleys and insists that Harry return to their home every summer, knowing what abusive guardians they are; the reason is, Dumbledore knew Voldemort would return one day, and that Harry would need the most powerful protection possible until he came of age. When his mother died to protect him, this created a powerful protective charm; as long as Harry stays at the house of his mother’s blood-relative long enough to call it home, it shields him in a way even Voldemort cannot overcome.

The reason Dumbledore says he has kept this and other secrets hidden for so long is because he has been reluctant to burden Harry with the most terrible secret: the contents of the prophecy. The prophecy was originally made to him by Sybill Trelawney, while he was interviewing her for her teaching position, and unexpected by either of them:

The one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord approaches … born to those who have thrice defied him, born as the seventh month dies … and the Dark Lord will mark him as equal, but he will have power the Dark Lord knows not … and either must die at the hand of the other for neither can live while the other survives … the one with the power to vanquish the Dark Lord will be born as the seventh month dies …

One of Voldemort’s followers overheard the first half of the prophecy, and reported it to him. Although there were actually two newborn boys whose parents fit the description in the prophecy (the other being Neville Longbottom), Dumbledore believes that Voldemort chose to attack Harry because he was a half-blood like himself, while Neville is a pureblood. In doing so, Voldemort inadvertently “marked him as his equal.” According to the prophecy, either Harry or Voldemort must destroy the other one day.

Finally, Dumbledore confesses that he did not make Harry a prefect, despite his many worthy achievements, simply because Dumbledore did not want to burden him with more responsibilities. Dumbledore reveals that he cares very much about Harry, even to an unwise degree – Voldemort has always believed love to be a weakness that can be exploited, hence his use of Sirius to lure Harry to the Ministry.

Dumbledore is reinstated at Hogwarts, and immediately rescinds all of Umbridge’s decrees. Umbridge herself is rescued from the forest by Dumbledore, and appears to still be in shock. Professor Trelawney is also reinstated, though Firenze stays on as well, since he has been expelled from the centaur herd.

Shortly before school ends, Harry seeks out Nearly Headless Nick. He asks if Sirius can come back as a ghost, but Sir Nick says, it is only those fearing death that remain as earthbound spirits; “he will have…gone on.”

Still grieving, Harry finds Luna hanging notes in the hall asking for the return of her missing possessions, since students have been taking and hiding them as a practical joke. He remembers that Luna, like him, can see Thestrals, which are invisible except to people who have witnessed death. He asks, and she replies that she saw her mother die, the result of an experimental spell gone wrong. However, Luna appears serene, and says she knows she will see her mother again; she and others who have died are just behind the veiled arch. Harry feels comforted knowing that he may see Sirius again and heads off to finish packing.

At King’s Cross station, several Order members are there to greet Harry and the Dursleys. Alastor Moody warns Uncle Vernon that if Harry is maltreated, they will intervene. Harry leaves to head back to 4 Privet Drive with the Dursleys, stopping once to look back towards his two best friends, Ron and Hermione.

[edit] Release history

Potter fans waited three years between the releases of the fourth and fifth books.^[1] Before the release of the fifth book, 200 million copies of the first four books had already been sold and translated into 55 languages in 200 countries.^[2] As the series was already a global phenomenon, the book forged new pre-order records, with thousands of people queuing outside book stores on 20 June 2003 to secure their copy at midnight.^[2] Despite the security, thousands of copies were stolen from an Earlestown, Merseyside warehouse on 15 June 2003.^[3]

In a Newsnight interview with Jeremy Paxman, Rowling reported that she was “reduced to tears” when she killed off a significant character in the book, despite rewriting the death scene several times.^[4] She added that although her husband suggested she undo the character’s death to stop her sadness, she needed to be “a ruthless killer”.^[4] However, Rowling revealed in a 2007 interview that she had originally planned to kill off Arthur Weasley in this book, but ultimately could not bear to do it.^[5] Three days before the book’s release, betting firm Ladbrokes stopped taking bets as to the identity of the character to die, saying that people already knew and that it would be a “licence to lose money”.^[4] Scottish bookmaker Blue Square also took bets on the identity of the killed character, with Hagrid the favourite at 7/2 odds, followed by Sirius Black at 4/1 and Professors Minerva McGonagall and Albus Dumbledore at 5/1.^[6]

In another interview, when asked if there was anything she would go back and change about the seven novels, Rowling replied that she would have edited Phoenix more, as she feels it is too long.

Plot summary

ad_utils.ad_queue.push({tile:’4′,slot:’top_rhs’}); After a lonely summer on Privet Drive, Harry returns to a Hogwarts full of ill-fortune. Few of students and parents believe him or Dumbledore that Voldemort is really back. The ministry had decided to step in by appointing a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher that proves to be the nastiest person Harry has ever encountered. Harry also can’t help stealing glances with the beautiful Cho Chang. To top it off are dreams that Harry can’t explain, and a mystery behind something Voldemort is searching for. With these many things Harry begins one of his toughest years at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Written by HPfan

After returning to Hogwarts to begin his fifth year at Hogwarts, Harry Potter discovers that much of the wizarding world, including the Ministry of Magic, is in denial about Lord Voldemort’s return. The Order of the Phoenix, a group sworn against Voldemort, is using its vast array of wizards and witches magical abilities to combat Voldemort. Cornelius Fudge, Minister for Magic, suspects that Dumbledore is using these claims of The Dark Lord’s return as a means to over-throw Fudge as Minister. In retaliation, a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher is appointed by the Ministry in order to keep an eye on Hogwarts. This new teacher, Professor Umbridge, implies strict new teachings and rules, forcing a group of students, under the tutelage of Harry, to form a club, by the name of Dumbledore’s Army… Written by Loopy Bug

As another year begins for Harry, at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry so does the never-ending articles stating that he and Dumbledore are insane. As the ministry starts to invent new and malicious lies about Harry’s account on Voldemort’s return, Hogwarts begins to change for the worse as the ministry sends in their cure for all the insanity, Professor Dolores Jane Umbridge. As she begins to inflict her rules and regulations on the students at Hogwarts they begin to find that with her as their teacher, they’ll never be ready for the outside world. So Harry along with his friends decides to take things into their own hands and begin to learn magic the real way. As Harry starts having visions of terrible events happening with the Ministries very walls he decides to take action, leading himself and his friends into battle, ultimately teaching them what friendship, loyalty and sacrifice really means. Written by Kyle

After a disastrous summer with the Dursleys, including an encounter with the Dementors, Harry is shunned by friends upon returning to Hogwarts, after the return of Lord Voldemort and no one believes him. He starts his fifth year while new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Dolores Jane Umbridge refuses to teach them defensive spells while refuting Harry’s claims of the Dark Lord’s return. So Harry sets out, with Ron and Hermione, to start up the D.A, Dumbledore’s Army to battle evil forces and prepare the fellow young witches and wizards for the extraordinary journey that lies ahead… Written by Michael Anderson

It’s another year at Hogwarts for Harry Potter and his friends. The previous year, he witnessed not just the death of Cedric Diggory, but also the return of the Dark Lord, Voldemort. The ministry of magic doesn’t believe everything Harry says and will do anything to keep everyone calm. Hogwarts begin changing, especially when Dolores Umbridge arrives to take over the school. Now, with Voldemort’s army getting closer, Harry and his friends must teach themselves and form an army to take on the upcoming threat. Written by Film_Fan

Synopsis

Harry Potter and his cousin Dudley Dursley are attacked by two Dementors, but Harry manages to drive the Dementors off with a Patronus charm. Shortly thereafter, the Ministry of Magic detect the act of underage wizardry and attempt to have Harry expelled from Hogwarts immediately, but this is modified to a trial later in the summer. After experiencing horrible nightmares depicting the evil Lord Voldemort’s return, Harry is awoken by the arrival of an advance guard of wizards who escort him to the headquarters of the Order of the Phoenix, a secret organization founded by Dumbledore. It is only now that Harry discovers that under the Ministry’s influence the newspaper The Daily Prophet has launched a smear campaign against anyone who claims that Voldemort has returned, leaving Harry feeling isolated and betrayed by the Wizarding community. Harry and the other members of the Order fly to 12 Grimmauld Place, the home of Sirius Black, where they meet with Sirius, Remus, Ron, Hermione and others. Later, Ron and Hermione express concern about Harry’s situation with the Ministry.

Harry and Arthur Weasley head to the court where Harry’s trial will take place, briefly spotting Lucius Malfoy speaking with the minister on their way. With the help of Dumbledore and Harry’s neighbour, Mrs Figg, Harry is cleared of all charges at the Ministry and is allowed to return to Hogwarts. However, during Harry, Ron and Hermione’s fifth year at Hogwarts School, the Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge appoints a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Dolores Umbridge, a Senior Ministry official who refuses to teach practical magic to her students, as the Ministry fears Dumbledore will organize his own personal wizard army. One day during class, Harry is punished for claiming that Cedric Diggory was killed by Voldemort, which according to the Ministry’s official policy is a lie. In Umbridge’s office, Harry is forced to write “I must not tell lies” repeatedly as punishment. However, the sentence is magically imprinted on his hand instead, causing scarring. Meanwhile, as Umbridge’s control over the school increases, Ron and Hermione aid Harry in forming a secret defence group, calling themselves “Dumbledore’s Army” or DA for short. Harry, Ron and Hermione start teaching at Hogwarts, training students in defensive spells to become part of the Army. Draco Malfoy and other Slytherin students are then recruited by Umbridge to try to uncover the secretive group, creating the Inquisitorial Squad. Meanwhile, Harry officially begins a relationship with Cho, as they kiss one day after training. In an attempt to tighten her oppressive grip on Hogwarts, Umbridge dismisses Professor Sybill Trelawney and tries to have her banished from Hogwarts, which is only prevented after Dumbledore’s intervention.

Harry’s nightmares continue, including a dangerous attack upon Arthur Weasley in the Department of Mysteries involving Nagini, Lord Voldermort’s snake, which happens to turn true. Harry’s anger starts to get out of control, as his mental connection to Voldemort grows stronger. Fearing Voldemort will exploit his connection with Harry, Dumbledore immediately instructs Professor Snape to give Harry a crash course on Occlumency lessons in an attempt to block Harry’s mind from the Dark Lord’s influence.

Meanwhile, Bellatrix Lestrange escapes from Azkaban along with other Death Eaters after one of the prison walls is damaged by lightning flashes. At Hogwarts, Umbridge, Filch and her loyal Inquisitorial Squad, uncover Dumbledore’s Army after interrogating one of the students, Cho Chang for whom Harry had developed intense feelings. Dumbledore is questioned and makes an impressive escape as Fudge orders his arrest. With Dumbledore gone, Umbridge becomes the new Headmistress, and her sinister dominance over the school continues. Later, Hagrid introduces Harry, Ron and Hermione to his half-brother giant, Grawp. Later, Harry reverses Snape’s spell by glimpsing into Snape’s mind. It is then that Harry learns that Harry’s father used to bully Snape when they were students at Hogwarts, which appears to be the real cause behind Snape’s resentment towards Harry. Meanwhile the Weasley twins, Fred and George formulate a plan of their own.

During an O.W.L. exam, the Weasley twins execute their plan, launching a firework display in the great hall causing chaos for Umbridge, Fudge and the students of Slytherin house. As the students cheer joyously outside, Harry suffers a vision of Sirius trapped within the bowels of the Ministry being interrogated about the Order. Harry, Ron, and Hermione rush to search for Sirius, but Umbridge, soon after, catches the trio attempting to use the Floo Network, and begins interrogating Harry. She calls for Professor Snape to bring Veritaserum for use during her interrogation, as she has for all of her previous interrogations, but Snape tells her that the supply has been exhausted. Hermione then tricks Umbridge into entering the Forbidden Forest along with Harry and her in search of a faux weapon, really leading her to the hiding place of Grawp who has since freed himself from the tree he was latched to, when a herd of centaurs, who have their own issues with the Ministry, emerge and carry the Headmistress into the darkness. Hermione and Harry head back to Hogwarts to find Ron and other DA members, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom, and Ginny Weasley, the group decided to fly to London by way of the Thestrals (winged horse-like magical creatures) to the Department of Mysteries of London City in an attempt to save Sirius.

The six enter the Department of Mysteries, where they uncover a prophecy involving Harry and Voldemort, but are soon ambushed by Death Eaters, including Lucius Malfoy and Bellatrix Lestrange, Sirius’s deranged cousin. After a brief battle and a failed escape attempt, the Death Eaters, manage to take Ron, Hermione, Luna, Neville, and Ginny as hostages threatening to kill them if Harry does not hand over the prophecy. Sirius appears, with the other members of the Order of the Phoenix, and attacks the Death Eaters causing Lucius to drop the prophecy, which then shatters. A battle erupts as the Death Eaters try to stop the students from escaping, resulting in Sirius’s death at Bellatrix’s hand. Back in the Atrium, Harry corners Bellatrix, where he struggles with his desire to enact the Cruciatus curse. Voldemort himself appears, ready to kill Harry when Dumbledore emerges to face his battle against Voldemort.

A brief but furious duel between Voldemort and Dumbledore takes place, in which Bellatrix escapes through the Floo Network. When Voldemort disappears, and the battle seems over, Harry suddenly finds himself possessed by Voldemort– recalling images of his past, of his family and his friendsbut throws off Voldemort’s influence, stating that he is stronger than Voldermort through his friends and his ability to love. Ministry officials, including Fudge, hastily arrive via the Floo Network moments before Voldemort disappears.

In the aftermath of the battle, the Ministry is forced to end their smear campaign and Umbridge is removed from Hogwarts, awaiting a formal investigation. Dumbledore explains that he had attempted to distance himself from Harry all year, hoping it would lessen the risk of Voldemort discovering and using the connection between the two. While the students head home from Hogwarts at the end of the academic year, Harry tells his friends that they have one thing Voldemort does not: love, a power worth fighting for.

Memorable quotes

Albus Dumbledore: Cornelius, I implore you to see reason. The evidence that the Dark Lord has returned is incontrovertible.
Cornelius Fudge: He is not back!

Lord Voldemort: [to Dumbledore] You’ve lost, old man.

Dolores Umbridge: [walks in front of Harry with a straight face] Yes?
Harry Potter: [hesitates and looks at his scarred hand] Nothing.
Dolores Umbridge: [bends down] That’s right. Because deep down you know that you deserve to be punished. Don’t you Mr. Potter?

Hermione Granger: You’ve done it, Neville! You’ve found the Room of Requirement!
Ron Weasley: The what?
Hermione Granger: It’s also known as the Come and Go Room. The Room of Requirement only appears when a person has real need of it, and is always equipped with the seeker’s needs.
Ron Weasley: So, say you really needed a toilet…
Hermione Granger: Charming, Ronald. But yes, that is the general idea.
Harry Potter: It’s brilliant! It’s like Hogwarts wants us to fight back!

[Dumbledore has arrived at Harry's trial, which was moved up]
Cornelius Fudge: Oh! Albus… I see you got our notice about the time change of the hearing…
Albus Dumbledore: I must have missed it; but by a happy mistake, I arrived at the Ministry three hours early.

[Harry sees a little boy crying, and Fred and George are comforting him]
Fred Weasley: What’s your name?
Nigel 2nd Year: Nigel.
George Weasley: It’s gonna be fine, Nigel.
Fred Weasley: Yeah, it’s not as bad as it seems. See? It’s fading already.
George Weasley: You can hardly see ours anymore.
Fred Weasley: And the pain stops after a while.

Severus Snape: You sent for me, Headmistress?
Dolores Umbridge: Ah, yes. The time has come for answers, whether he wants to give them or not. Have you bought the Veritaserum?
Severus Snape: I’m afraid you have used up all my stores interrogating students, the last of it on Miss Chang. Unless you wish to poison Potter – and I assure you, I would have the greatest sympathy if you did – I cannot help you.

Ginny Weasley: Reducto!

Dolores Umbridge: [to Harry] As I told you, Mr. Potter, naughty children deserve to be punished.

Lucius Malfoy: [walking with Bellatrix slowly up to Harry] Haven’t you always wondered what was the reason for the connection between you and the Dark Lord. Why he was unable to kill you when you were just an infant. Don’t you want to know the secret, of your scar. All of the answers are there, Potter, in your hand. All you have to do is give it to me, I can show you everything.
[all of the death eaters start closing in around them]
Harry Potter: I’ve waited fourteen years…
Lucius Malfoy: I know.
Harry Potter: Think I can wait a little longer. NOW!
Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger, Ginny Weasley, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom: STUPEFY!

Ron Weasley: Hermione, you are honestly the most wonderful person I have ever met. If I’m ever rude to you…
Hermione Granger: I’ll know you’ve gone back to normal.

Lord Voldemort: You’re a fool, Harry Potter, and you will lose everything.

Vernon Dursley: JUSTICE!

Sybil Trelawney: 16 years I’ve lived and taught here! Hogwarts is my home! You can’t do this!
Dolores Umbridge: Actually, I can.
[McGonagall arrives and tries to comfort Trelawney]
Dolores Umbridge: [to McGonagall] Something you’d like to say, dear?
Minerva McGonagall: Oh, there are several things I would like to say!
Albus Dumbledore: [Dumbledore arrives]
Albus Dumbledore: Professor McGonagall, might I ask you to escort Sybil back inside?
Minerva McGonagall: [to Trelawney] Sybil, dear, this way.
Sybil Trelawney: [shakes Dumbledore's hand] Oh, thank you! Thank you!
Dolores Umbridge: Dumbledore, may I remind you that under the terms of Educational Decree #23, as enacted by the Minister…
Albus Dumbledore: You have the right to dismiss my teachers. You do not, however, have the authority to banish them from the grounds. That power remains with the headmaster.
Dolores Umbridge: For now.

Severus Snape: It appears there is a connection between the Dark Lord’s mind and your own. Whether he is, as yet, aware of this connection is for the moment unclear. Pray he remains ignorant.
Harry Potter: You mean if he knows about it then, he’ll be able to read my mind.
Severus Snape: Read it, control it, unhinge it. In the past it was often the Dark Lord’s pleasure to invade the minds of his victims, creating visions designed to torture them into madness. Only after extracting the last exquisite ounce of agony, only when he had them litterly begging for death would he finally… kill them. Used properly, the power of Occlumency will help shield you from access or influence. In these lessons I will attempt to penetrate your mind. You will attempt to resist. Prepare yourself! Legillimens!

Albus Dumbledore: [looking up at Fudge] Charges?
Cornelius Fudge: The Charges to the accused are as follows: that he did willingly, and in the full knowledge of the illegality of his actions, perform a Patronus Charm in the presence of a Muggle.

Harry Potter: [to Fudge] I’m not lying.

Luna Lovegood: [regarding Hogwarts's Food] I hope they have pudding.

Dolores Umbridge: Wands away. There will be no need to talk.
Hermione Granger: [sotto] No need to think is more like it.

Hermione Granger: Um… Hi! You all know why we’re here. We need a teacher. A proper teacher. One who’s had real experience defending themselves against the Dark Arts.
Zacharias Smith: Why?
Ron Weasley: Why. Because You-Know-Who’s back, you tosspot.
Zacharias Smith: [nods toward Harry] So he says.
Hermione Granger: So Dumbledore says.
Zacharias Smith: So Dumbledore says because he says! The point is, where’s the proof?
Slightly Creepy Boy: If Potter could tell us more about how Diggory got killed…
Harry Potter: I’m not going to talk about Cedric, so if that’s why you’re here you might as well clear out now.
Harry Potter: [aside to Hermione]
Harry Potter: C’mon, Hermione, let’s go. They’re just here because they think I’m some sort of freak.
Hermione Granger: Harry, wait!
Luna Lovegood: Is it true you can produce a patronus charm?
Hermione Granger: Yes. I’ve seen it.
Dean Thomas: Blimey, Harry! I didn’t know you could do that!
Neville Longbottom: And he killed a basilisk, with the sword in Dumbledore’s office.
Ginny Weasley: It’s true.
Ron Weasley: Third year he fought off about a hundred dementors at once.
Hermione Granger: And last year he really did fight off You-Know-Who in the flesh.
Harry Potter: Wait… look, it all sounds *great* when you say it like that. But the truth is most of that was just luck. I didn’t know what I was doing half the time, I nearly always had help…
Hermione Granger: He’s just being modest.
Harry Potter: No, Hermione, I’m not. Facing this stuff in real life is not like school. In school, if you make a mistake you can just try again tomorrow, but out there, when you’re a second away from being murdered or watching a friend die right before your eyes… you don’t know what that’s like.
Hermione Granger: You’re right, Harry, we don’t. That’s why we need your help. Because if we’re having any chance against beating… Voldemort.
Nigel 2nd Year: He’s really back?
[Harry nods]

Neville Longbottom: So how are we going to get to London?
Harry Potter: Look, it’s not that I don’t appreciate everything you’ve done, all of you, but – but I’ve got you into enough trouble as it is.
[walks past everyone]
Neville Longbottom: Dumbledore’s Army’s supposed to be about doing something real.
[Harry stops turns around to face them]
Neville Longbottom: Or was all that just words to you?
Ron Weasley: …Maybe you don’t have to do this all by yourself, mate.
Harry Potter: …So how are we going to get to London?
Luna Lovegood: We fly, of course.

Dolores Umbridge: [holding clipboard and smiling at Trelawney] Could you please predict something for me?
Sybil Trelawney: [stops teaching and looks over at Umbridge with a surprised and unhappy face] I’m sorry?

Lord Voldemort: Crucio!

Bellatrix Lestrange: Avada Kedavra!

Harry Potter: [to Dumbledore] LOOK AT ME!… What’s happening to me?

Hermione Granger: He really is out there, isn’t he? We’ve got to be able to defend ourselves. And if Umbridge refuses to teach us how, we need someone who will.

Harry Potter: How come you’re not at the feast?
Luna Lovegood: I’ve lost all my possessions. Apparently people have been hiding them.
Harry Potter: That’s awful!
Luna Lovegood: Oh, it’s all good fun. But as this is the last night, I really do need them back.
Harry Potter: Do you want any help finding them?
Luna Lovegood: I’m sorry about your godfather, Harry.
[clasps his hand comfortingly]
Harry Potter: Are you sure you don’t want any help looking?
Luna Lovegood: That’s all right. Anyway, my mum always said things we lose have a way of coming back to us in the end.
[they look up and see a pair of her shoes hanging from the ceiling arch]
Luna Lovegood: If not always in the way we expect.

Harry Potter: This connection between me and Voldemort… what if the reason for it is that I am becoming more like him? I just feel so angry, all the time. What if after everything that I’ve been through, something’s gone wrong inside me? What if I’m becoming bad?
Sirius Black: I want you to listen to me very carefully, Harry. You’re not a bad person. You’re a very good person, who bad things have happened to. Besides, the world isn’t split into good people and Death Eaters. We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.

Albus Dumbledore: [looking down at Harry that is being tortured by Voldemort in his mind] Harry… It’s not how you are alike. It’s how you are not…

Luna Lovegood: [about her father] We believe you, by the way. That He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named is back, and you fought him, and the Ministry and the Prophet are conspiring against you and Dumbledore.
Harry Potter: Thanks. Seems you’re about the only ones that do.
Luna Lovegood: I don’t think that’s true. But I suppose that’s how he wants you to feel.
Harry Potter: What do you mean?
Luna Lovegood: Well if I were You-Know-Who, I’d want you to feel cut off from everyone else. Because if it’s just you alone you’re not as much of a threat.

Harry Potter: First we’ve got to find a place to practice where Umbridge won’t find out.
Ginny Weasley: The Shrieking Shack?
Harry Potter: It’s too small.
Hermione Granger: The Forbidden Forest?
Ron Weasley: Not bloody likely!
Ginny Weasley: Harry, what happens if Umbridge does find out?
Hermione Granger: Who cares? I mean, it’s sort of exciting, isn’t it, breaking the rules.
Ron Weasley: Who are you and what have you done with Hermione Granger?
Hermione Granger: Anyway, at least we know one positive thing that came from today.
Harry Potter: What’s that?
Hermione Granger: Cho couldn’t take her eyes off you, could she?

Sirius Black: I want you to take the others and get out of here.
Harry Potter: What? No, I’m staying with you!
Sirius Black: You’ve done beautifully. Now let me take it from here.

Ron Weasley: You did everything you could. No one could win against that old hag.
Hermione Granger: Even Dumbledore didn’t see this coming. Harry, if it’s anyone’s fault, it’s ours.
Ron Weasley: Yeah, we talked you into it.
Harry Potter: Yeah, but I agreed. I tried so hard to help, and all it’s done is made things worse. Anyway, it doesn’t matter anymore, because I don’t want to play anymore. All it does is make you care too much. The more you care the more you have to lose. You maybe it’s just best to…
Hermione Granger: To what?
Harry Potter: To go it alone.

Harry Potter: Hey Big D. Beat up another 10 year old?
Dudley Dursley: This one deserved it.
Harry Potter: Five against one. That’s very brave.
Dudley Dursley: Well you’re one to talk, moaning in your sleep every night. At least I’m not afraid of my pillow. “Don’t kill Cedric!” Who’s Cedric, your boyfriend?

Mrs. Arabella Figg: Dementors in Little Winging! Whatever next? The whole world’s gone topsy-turvy!

Nymphadora Tonks: They’re very clean, these Muggles. It’s unnatural.

Sirius Black: If anyone’s got a right to know it’s Harry. If it wasn’t for him we wouldn’t even know Voldemort was back! He’s not a child, Molly!
Mrs. Weasley: He’s not an adult either! He’s not James, Sirius.
Sirius Black: He’s not your son.
Mrs. Weasley: He’s as good as! Who else as he got?
Sirius Black: He’s got me!

Ron Weasley: Hermione, I hate your cat.

Sirius Black: Fudge is using all his power, including his influence at the Daily Prophet, to smear anyone who claims the Dark Lord has returned.
Harry Potter: Why?
Remus Lupin: The Minister thinks Dumbledore’s after his job.
Harry Potter: But that’s insane! No one in their right mind could believe that Dumbledore…
Remus Lupin: Exactly the point. Fudge isn’t in his right mind. It’s been twisted and warped by fear. Now fear makes people do terrible things, Harry. The last time Voldemort gained power he almost destroyed everything we hold most dear. Now he’s returned, and I’m afraid the Minister will do almost anything to avoid facing that terrifying truth.

Sirius Black: It’s been 14 years, and still not a day goes by that I don’t miss your dad.

Draco Malfoy: I’m surprised the Ministry’s still letting you walk around free, Potter. You better enjoy it while you can. I expect there’s a cell in Azkaban with your name on it.

Hermione Granger: Everyone, this is Loony…
[too late realizing her mistake]
Hermione Granger: …Luna Lovegood.

Hermione Granger: It means the Ministry’s interfering at Hogwarts.

Hermione Granger: What’s wrong with your hand?
Harry Potter: Nothing.
[Harry hides his left hand under his book and shows her his right hand]
Hermione Granger: Your other hand.
[grabbing his left arm from under his book]
Hermione Granger: You’ve got to tell Dumbledore!
Harry Potter: No. Dumbledore’s got enough on his mind right now. Anyway, I don’t want to give Umbridge the satisfaction.
Ron Weasley: Bloody hell, Harry, the woman’s torturing you! If the parents knew about this…
Harry Potter: Yeah, well I haven’t got any of those, have I Ron?
Hermione Granger: Harry, you’ve got to report this! It’s perfectly simple, you’re being…
Harry Potter: No, it’s not! Hermione whatever this is, it’s not simple. You don’t understand.
Hermione Granger: Then help us to!

Hermione Granger: That foul, evil old gargoyle! We’re not learn how to defend ourselves, we’re not learning how to pass our O.W.L.s. She’s taking over the entire school!

Sirius Black: The latest intelligence is that Fudge doesn’t want you trained in combat.
Ron Weasley: Combat? What does he think, that we’re forming some sort of wizard army?
Sirius Black: That’s exactly what he thinks. That Dumbledore is assembling his own forces to take on the Ministry. He’s becoming more paranoid by the minute. The others wouldn’t want me telling you this, Harry, but things aren’t going at all well with the Order. Fudge is blocking the truth at every turn, and these disappearances are just how it started before. Voldemort is on the move.

Harry Potter: This is mad. Who’d want to be taught by me? I’m a nutter, remember?
Ron Weasley: Look on the bright side. You can’t be any worse than old toad face.
Harry Potter: Thanks, Ron.
Ron Weasley: I’m here for you, mate.

[referring to Ron's Christmas jumper]
Hermione Granger: I can’t understand why you don’t want to wear it, Ronald.
Ron Weasley: Cause I’ll look like a bloody idiot, that’s why.
Hermione Granger: No more that usual.

Sirius Black: This is my parent’s house. I offered it to Dumbledore as headquarters for the Order. It’s about the only useful thing I’ve been able to do.

Hermione Granger: [about the mass breakout from Azkaban] Dumbledore warned Fudge this would happen. He’s going to get us all killed because he can’t face the truth.

Neville Longbottom: Fourteen years ago, a Death Eater named Bellatrix Lestrange used the Crutiatus Curse on my parents. She tortured them for information, but they never gave in. I’m quite proud to be their son. But I’m not sure I’m ready for everyone to know just yet.
Harry Potter: We’re going to make them proud, Neville. That’s a promise.

Cornelius Fudge: Dawlish, Shacklebolt, you will escort Dumbledore to Azkaban to await trial for conspiracy.
Albus Dumbledore: Ah, I thought we might hit this little snag. You seem to be laboring under the delusion that I am going to – what is the phrase? – come quietly.

Lord Voldemort: I need that prophecy.
Sirius Black: You’ll have to kill me.
Lord Voldemort: Oh, I will.

Sirius Black: We think Voldemort wants to build up his army again.
[everyone turns to look at Sirius]
Sirius Black: Fourteen years ago he had huge numbers at his command, not just witches and wizards but all manner of dark creatures. He has been recruiting heavily and we have been attempting to do the same. But gathering followers isn’t all he’s interested in…
[Moody coughs loudly from the corner]
Sirius Black: We believe Voldemort may be after something…
Alastor ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody: Sirius!
Sirius Black: Something he didn’t have last time.
Harry Potter: You mean, like a weapon?
[Sirius opens his mouth to speak]
Mrs. Weasley: No! That’s enough! He’s just a boy, you say much more and you might as well induct him into the Order straight away.
Harry Potter: Good! I want to join! If Voldemort’s raising an army then I want to fight!

Hermione Granger: Harry, are you sure?
Harry Potter: I saw it! It’s just like with Mr. Weasley! It’s the same door I’ve been dreaming about for months, only I couldn’t remember where I’d seen it before! Sirius said Voldemort was after something, something he didn’t have last time, and it’s in the department of Mysteries!
Hermione Granger: Harry, please just listen! What if Voldemort meant for you to see this? What if he’s only hurting Sirius because he’s trying to get to you?
Harry Potter: What if he is? I’m supposed to just let him die? Hermione, he’s the only family I’ve got left!

Harry Potter: What are you doing?
Hermione Granger: Improvising.

Bellatrix Lestrange: Neville Longbottom, isn’t it? How’s mum and dad?
Neville Longbottom: Better, now they’re about to be avenged!

Lucius Malfoy: Did you actually believe, or are you truly naïve enough to think that children stood a chance against us? I’ll make this simple for you, Potter. Give me the prophecy now, or watch your friends die.
Neville Longbottom: Don’t give it to him, Harry!

Harry Potter: Sirius, what are you doing here? If somebody sees you…
Sirius Black: I had to see you off, didn’t I? What’s life without a little risk?
Harry Potter: I just don’t want to see you get shut back in Azkaban.

Dolores Umbridge: [over P.A] Boys and girls are not to be within eight inches of each other.

Hermione Granger: How’d you get away?
Ginny Weasley: Puking Pastilles. It wasn’t pretty.
Ron Weasley: Told them I was hungry and wanted some sweets. Of course, they told me to bugger off and ate the lot themselves.
Hermione Granger: [shocked] That was clever, Ron!
Ron Weasley: It’s been known to happen.

Dolores Umbridge: [standing with her Inquisitorial squad holding Cho Chang hostage] Take them!

Ron Weasley: Blimey!

Hermione Granger: Harry please, they are going to be here any minute.

Dolores Umbridge: [yelling at Centaurs] How dare you! You filthy half-breeds!

Dolores Umbridge: [pointing her wand at Centaurs] Incarcerous!

Neville Longbottom: [fighting the Death Eaters] Petrificus Totalus!
Luna Lovegood: [grabbing Nevilles arm] Well done Neville.

Albus Dumbledore: [after Sirius' death] I know how you feel, Harry.
Harry Potter: No you don’t.
[pause]
Harry Potter: It’s my fault.
Albus Dumbledore: No, the fault is mine. I knew it was only a matter of time before Voldemort made the connection between you. I thought by distancing myself from you, as I have done all year, he’d be less tempted and therefore you might be more protected.
Harry Potter: The prophecy said neither one can live while the other one survives. It means one of us is going to have to kill the other, in the end.
Albus Dumbledore: Yes.
Harry Potter: Why didn’t you tell me?
Albus Dumbledore: For the same reason you tried to save Sirius. For the same reason your friends saved you. After all these years, after all you’ve suffered, I didn’t want to cause you any more pain. I cared too much about you.

Dolores Umbridge: [after Snape leaves] Very well. You give me no choice, Potter. As this is an issue of Ministry security, you leave me with no alternative. The Cruciatus Curse ought to loosen your tongue.
Hermione Granger: [glaring at Umbridge] That’s illegal!
Dolores Umbridge: [putting a picture of Cornelius Fudge on her desk face down] What Cornelius doesn’t know won’t hurt him.

Arthur Weasley: [raising his glass] To Harry Potter, without whom I may not be here. To Harry.
Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, George Weasley, Fred Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Mrs. Weasley: [raising their cups] To Harry
Sirius Black: [at doorway] To Harry.

Sirius Black: [to Harry about the picture] The original Order of the Phoenix.

Hermione Granger: [Harry walks in, Hermione runs to him and hugs him] Oh, Harry!
[pause, she lets go]
Hermione Granger: Are you all right? We overheard them talking about the dementor attack. You must tell us everything.
Ron Weasley: Let the man breathe, Hermione.
Hermione Granger: And this hearing at the Ministry. It’s just outrageous! I’ve looked it up, they simply can’t expel you. It’s completely unfair!
Harry Potter: There’s a lot of that going around, Hermione. So what is this place?
Ron Weasley: Headquarters.
Hermione Granger: Of the Order of the Phoenix. It’s a secret society. Dumbledore formed it back when they first fought You-Know-Who.
Harry Potter: You couldn’t have put this in a letter, I suppose. I’ve gone all summer without a scrap of news.
Ron Weasley: We wanted to tell you, mate. Really, we did. Only…
Harry Potter: Only what?
Hermione Granger: Only Dumbledore made us swear that we wouldn’t tell you anything.
Harry Potter: [pause] Dumbledore said that? But why would he want to keep me in the dark? Maybe I could help. After all, I’m the one who saw Voldemort return, I’m the one who fought him, I’m the one who saw Cedric Diggory get killed!

Dolores Umbridge: [to Harry, Hermione and the Centaurs] I WILL have order!

Ron Weasley: Don’t worry, I’ll go easy on you.
Hermione Granger: [sarcastically] Thanks, Ronald.

Mrs. Weasley: [at the dinner table on Christmas] Sit down everyone, sit down. That’s it, now present time.

Harry Potter: [teaching the DA] Stunning is one of the most important spells in your arsenal. It’s sort of a wizard’s bread and butter really.

Dolores Umbridge: [pointing her wand at Harry, Ron and Hermione in the Forbidden Forest] For the greater good. I want to do what must be done.

Dolores Umbridge: [in a calm, relaxed voice] You know, I really hate children.

Harry Potter: Expelliarmus!

Harry Potter: [to Snape] He’s got Padfoot! He’s got Padfoot at the place where it’s hidden!
Dolores Umbridge: Padfoot? What is Padfoot? And where what’s hidden? What is he talking about Snape?
Severus Snape: [pause] No idea.

Harry Potter: [sees that Luna is barefoot] Aren’t your feet cold?
Luna Lovegood: A bit. But all my shoes have mysteriously disappeared. I suspect the Nargles are behind it.

Hermione Granger: When are you going to get it into your head? We’re in this together!

Fred Weasley: You know, George, I’ve always felt out futures lay outside the world of academic achievement.
George Weasley: Fred, I’ve been thinking exactly the same thing.

Luna Lovegood: They’re called Thestrals. They’re quite gentle, really, but people avoid them, because they’re a bit…
Harry Potter: Different.

[Hermione screams as Grawp grabs her and lifts her up]
Rubeus Hagrid: Grawpy, that is not polite!
Ron Weasley: Hagrid, do something!
Rubeus Hagrid: We talked about this! You do not grab, do you? That is your new friend, Hermione!
[Ron swings a tree branch at Grawp's foot. Grawp looks down, puzzled, and shifts his foot slightly, knocking Ron back]
Hermione Granger: Grawp! Put-me-down!
[Grawp stares blankly]
Hermione Granger: *Now*!
[Grawp puts Hermione down gently and turns away shamefully]
Ron Weasley: Are you alright?
Hermione Granger: Fine. He just needs a firm hand, that’s all.
Harry Potter: I think you’ve got an admirer.

Albus Dumbledore: It was foolish of you to come here tonight, Tom. The Aurors are on their way.
Lord Voldemort: By which time I shall be gone, and you… shall be dead!

[Ron takes a huge bite out of a sausage]
Hermione Granger: [disgusted] Do you ever stop eating?
Ron Weasley: What? I’m hungry.

Dolores Umbridge: Let me make this quite plain. You have been told that a certain Dark Wizard is at large once again. This is a lie.
Harry Potter: It’s not a lie! I saw him. I fought him.
Dolores Umbridge: [shouting] Detention, Mr. Potter!
Harry Potter: So according to you, Cedric Diggory dropped dead OF HIS OWN ACCORD.
Dolores Umbridge: Cedric Diggory’s death was a tragic accident.
Harry Potter: [angrily] It was murder! Voldemort killed him! You must know!
Dolores Umbridge: [shouting] Enough!

Bellatrix Lestrange: [to Harry] How dare you speak his name! YOU FILTHY HALF BLOOD!

Mrs. Arabella Figg: [she has been asked to describe "them"] One was very huge… the other, very skinny.
Cornelius Fudge: We mean the dementors, not the boys!

Dolores Umbridge: Please, tell them I mean no harm.
Harry Potter: Sorry, Professor, but I must not tell lies.

Ron Weasley: [about Harry's first kiss] Well? How was it?
Harry Potter: Wet. I mean, she was sort of crying.
Ron Weasley: [laughs] That bad at it, are you?
Hermione Granger: I’m sure Harry’s kissing was more that satisfactory. Cho spends half her time crying these days.
Ron Weasley: You’d think a bit of snogging would cheer her up.
Hermione Granger: Don’t you understand how she must be feeling? Well, obviously she’s feeling sad about Cedric, and therefore confused about liking Harry, and guilty about kissing him. Conflicted because Umbridge is threatening to sack her mum from her job at the Ministry, and frightened about failing her O.W.L.s because she’s so busy worrying about everything else.
Ron Weasley: One person couldn’t feel all that, they’d explode!
Hermione Granger: Just because you’ve got the emotional range of a teaspoon.

Sirius Black: [to Harry] Nice one, James!

[last lines]
Harry Potter: I’ve been thinking about something Dumbledore said to me.
Hermione Granger: What’s that?
Harry Potter: That even though we’ve got a fight ahead of us, we’ve got one thing that Voldemort doesn’t have.
Ron Weasley: Yeah?
Harry Potter: Something worth fighting for.

Severus Snape: [watches a touching memory between Harry and Sirius] I may vomit.

Harry Potter: [fighting Bellatrix Lestrange] Crucio!
Lord Voldemort: [taunting Harry] You have to mean it, Harry. You know the spell. She killed him. She deserves it.

Dolores Umbridge: [during an inspection] You applied first for the Defense Against the Dark Arts post, is that correct?
Severus Snape: Yes.
Dolores Umbridge: But you were unsuccessful?
Severus Snape: [with annoyance in voice] Obviously.

Sirius Black: Get away from my Godson!
[punches Mr. Malfoy in the face]

Ron Weasley: Maybe you don’t have to do this all by yourself, mate.

Seamus Finnigan: Me mam didn’t want me to come back this year.
Harry Potter: Why not?
Seamus Finnigan: [sarcastically] Let me see… because of you! The Daily Prophet’s been saying a lot of things about you, Harry. About Dumbledore as well.
Harry Potter: And your mum believes them?
Seamus Finnigan: Well, no one was there the night Cedric died.
Harry Potter: Oh, well I guess you should read the Prophet then, like your stupid mother. It’ll tell you everything you need to know.
Seamus Finnigan: Don’t you dare talk about my mother like that!
Harry Potter: I’ll have a go at anyone who calls me a liar!

Arthur Weasley: This is very, very peculiar. It seems as if your hearing is to be in front of the entire Wizengamot.
Harry Potter: I don’t understand. What has the Ministry of Magic got against me?

Cornelius Fudge: [referring to Lord Voldemort] He’s back!

Seamus Finnigan: [in the grand hall] Harry! I… uh… I wanted to apologize. I know with everything me mam is saying in the Prophet is all very druddle. So, what I’m really trying to say is that… I believe you.

Kingsley Shacklebolt: You may not like him, Minister, but you can’t deny: Dumbledore’s got style.

Dolores Umbridge: [Harry has come in to do his detention] You’re going to be doing some lines for me, Mr. Potter.
[Potter opens his bag for his quill but Umbridge stops him]
Dolores Umbridge: No, not with your quill. You’re going to be using a rather special one of mine. Now, I want you to write “I must not tell lies.”
Harry Potter: How many times?
Dolores Umbridge: Let’s see… As long as it takes for the message to sink in.
Harry Potter: You haven’t given me any ink.
Dolores Umbridge: Oh, you won’t need any ink.

Harry Potter: [sees a strange reptilian-like horse] What is it?
Ron Weasley: What’s what?
Harry Potter: That. Pulling the carriage.
Hermione Granger: Nothing’s pulling the carriage, Harry. It’s pulling itself like always.
[Harry walks around the carriage, where Luna is already seated]
Luna Lovegood: You’re not going mad.
[lowers her magazine, The Quibbler, which she has been reading upside down]
Luna Lovegood: I see them too. You’re just as sane as I am.

Severus Snape: You’re just like your father. Lazy, arrogant…
Harry Potter: Don’t say a word against my father!
Severus Snape: – Weak.
Harry Potter: I’m not weak!
Severus Snape: Then prove it!

Harry Potter: [stepping out of the Dursleys' house onto the street] Where are we going?. The letter said I have been expelled from Hogwarts.
Alastor ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody: You haven’t been. Not yet.
[looks at Kingsley]
Alastor ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody: Kingsley, you take point.
Kingsley Shacklebolt: Right.
Harry Potter: But the letter said…
Kingsley Shacklebolt: [interrupting Harry] Dumbledore has persuaded the Minister to suspend your expulsion, pending a formal hearing.
Harry Potter: Hearing?
Kingsley Shacklebolt: Uh-huh.
Nymphadora Tonks: Don’t worry Harry. We’ll explain everything when we get back to headquarters.
Alastor ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody: Shh! Not here, Nymphadora.
Nymphadora Tonks: [hair changes color from pink to bright red] *Don’t* call me Nymphadora!
[Moody taps his staff twice and broomsticks fly up to them]
Alastor ‘Mad-Eye’ Moody: Stay in formation, everyone. Don’t break ranks if one of us is killed.

Nymphadora Tonks: Don’t call me Nymphadora!

Sirius Black: [to Harry] It’s your turn now!

Dolores Umbridge: Pardon me, Professor, but what exactly are you insinuating?
Minerva McGonagall: I am merely requesting that when it comes to my students you conform to the prescribed disciplinary practices.
Dolores Umbridge: So silly of me, but it sounds as if you’re questioning my authority in my own classroom, Minerva.
Minerva McGonagall: Not at all, Dolores, merely your medieval methods.
Dolores Umbridge: I am sorry, dear, but to question my practices is to question the Ministry, and by extension, the Minister himself. I am a tolerant woman, but the one thing I will not stand for is disloyalty.
Minerva McGonagall: Disloyalty?
Dolores Umbridge: Things at Hogwarts are far worse than I feared.

Albus Dumbledore: Don’t fight him Harry, you can’t win!

Rubeus Hagrid: It’s changing out there. Just like last time. There’s a storm coming, Harry. And we all best be ready when she does.

Harry Potter: Are you alright? I heard Umbridge gave you a rough time the other day.
Cho Chang: Yeah, I’m alright. Anyway, it’s worth it. It’s just… learning all this makes me wonder, if he’d known it…
Harry Potter: Cedric did know this stuff. He was really good. It’s just, Voldemort was better.
Cho Chang: You’re a really good teacher, Harry. I’ve never been able to stun anything before.
[looks up]
Cho Chang: Mistletoe.
Harry Potter: Probably filled with Nargles, though.
Cho Chang: What are Nargles?
Harry Potter: No idea.
[they kiss]

Dolores Umbridge: Your previous instruction in this subject has been disturbingly uneven. But you will be pleased to know from now on, you will be following a carefully structured, Ministry-approved course of defensive magic. Yes?
Hermione Granger: There’s nothing in here about using defensive spells.
Dolores Umbridge: Using spells? Ha ha! Well I can’t imagine why you would need to use spells in my classroom.
Ron Weasley: We’re not gonna use magic?
Dolores Umbridge: You will be learning about defensive spells in a secure, risk-free way.
Harry Potter: Well, what use is that? If we’re gonna be attacked it won’t be risk-free.
Dolores Umbridge: Students will raise their hands when they speak in my class.
[pauses]
Dolores Umbridge: It is the view of the Ministry that a theoretical knowledge will be sufficient to get you through your examinations, which after all, is what school is all about.
Harry Potter: And how is theory supposed to prepare us for what’s out there?
Dolores Umbridge: There is nothing out there, dear! Who do you imagine would want to attack children like yourself?
Harry Potter: I don’t know, maybe, Lord Voldemort!

Cornelius Fudge: The Ministry of Magic is pleased to announce the appointment of Dolores Jane Umbridge as High Inquisitor, to address the falling standards at Hogwarts School.

Harry Potter: [teaching Dumbledore's Army] Working hard is important, but there’s something else that’s even more important: believing in yourself. Look at it this way: every great wizard in history has started out as nothing more than we are now – students. If they can do it, why not us?

Severus Snape: Discipline your mind!

[from trailer]
Ron Weasley: Blimey!

Albus Dumbledore: Witness for the defense, Albus Percival Wulfric… Brian… Dumbledore.

Bellatrix Lestrange: [singing] I killed Sirius Black!

Vernon Dursley: Face it, Petunia! Our boy has gone yumpy!

Bellatrix Lestrange: [to Neville] Boo… Guess who?

Sirius Black: When all this is over we’ll be a proper family. You’ll see.

Young James Potter: Who wants to watch me take off Snivelly’s trousers?

Harry Potter: My father was a great man!
Severus Snape: Your father was a SWINE.

Severus Snape: Legillimens!
Harry Potter: Protego!

[first lines]
Radio announcer: I don’t know about you, it’s just too hot today, isn’t it? And it’s going to get even worse. Temperatures up in the mid 30′s Celsius, that’s the mid 90′s Fahrenheit, tomorrow maybe even hitting 100. So please, remember to cover up and stay cool with the hottest hits on your FM dial.

Mrs. Weasley: [Fred and George have just appeared out of thin air and Mrs Weasley screams] Just because you can use magic now does not mean you have to whip your wands out for everything.

Kreacher: [to Harry] Nasty brat standing there as bold as brass. Harry Potter, the boy who stopped the Dark Lord. Friend of Mudbloods and blood-traitors alike. If my poor mistress only knew…
Sirius Black: Kreacher! That’s enough of your bile. Away with you!
Kreacher: [smiles] Of course Master. Kreacher lives to serve the noble house of Black.

[looking at the tapestry with the Black family tree]
Sirius Black: I hated the lot of them. My parents, with their pure-blood mania… my repulsive cousin, Bellatrix Lestrange…
[he points to a scorched hole in the tapestry over his name]
Sirius Black: My mother did that after I ran away. Charming woman.

Harry Potter: [about the Thestrals] So why can’t the others see them?
Luna Lovegood: The only people who can see them are those who’ve seen death.
Harry Potter: So, you’ve known someone who died?
Luna Lovegood: My mum. She was quite an extraordinary witch, but she did like to experiment, and one day, one of her spells went badly wrong. I was nine.
Harry Potter: I’m sorry.
Luna Lovegood: Yes, it was rather horrible. I still feel very sad about it sometimes. But I’ve still got Dad.

Hermione Granger: [after her faux pas about Luna's name] So… that’s an interesting necklace.
Luna Lovegood: It’s a charm actually. It keeps away the Nargles.
[awkward silence]
Luna Lovegood: Hungry. I hope they have pudding.
[the carriage starts rolling]
Neville Longbottom: [whispering] What’s a Nargle?
Hermione Granger: [whispering] No idea.

Severus Snape: How touchingly paternal, Black. Perhaps Potter will grow up to be a felon, just like his godfather!

Lucius Malfoy: Let’s just everybody, calm down… shall we?

[after seeing that Harry Potter has been expelled from Hogwarts]
Uncle Vernon Dursley: [baring his teeth and barely able to keep his composure] *Justice*.

[edit] Plot

As Voldemort and his Death Eaters openly wreak havoc throughout Britain, Minister for Magic Cornelius Fudge has been forced to resign following public outcry over his mishandling the situation. Before he leaves office, he pays a visit to the Muggle Prime Minister of the United Kingdom to warn him that events occurring in the magical world are now having an effect on the Muggle world and that things are going pretty badly for the Ministry of Magic at present. The Prime Minister is then introduced to Fudge’s successor, Rufus Scrimgeour. Meanwhile, at his home in Spinner’s End, Severus Snape is sworn to an Unbreakable Vow by Draco Malfoy’s mother Narcissa. Although her sister, Bellatrix Lestrange, distrusts Snape, he agrees to protect Draco during his task assigned by the Dark Lord, and complete the mission should Draco fail.

During the summer, Albus Dumbledore enlists Harry Potter’s unwitting help to persuade retired professor Horace Slughorn to return to his old Hogwarts post. When Albus Dumbledore comes to collect Harry, an unsuspecting Harry is told that he has inherited all of Sirius Black’s (his deceased godfather) possessions, including the house, Buckbeak, and his house-elf, Kreacher. Harry then spends the remaining holiday at The Burrow with the Weasleys and Hermione. To his family’s dismay (especially Mrs Weasley and Ginny), Bill Weasley has become engaged to Fleur Delacour, the Beauxbatons champion in the Triwizard Tournament. Harry, Ron, and Hermione receive their O.W.L. results. Hermione receives top “Outstanding” marks in all her subjects with the exception of Defence Against the Dark Arts. To become Aurors, Harry and Ron must take N.E.W.T.-Level Potions as a prerequisite, but their grades in the subject are too low for Snape’s advanced class, thus ending their career ambitions. However, Harry is very pleased (and secretly smug) to discover that he was the only one out of the three of them to get an “Outstanding” in Defence Against the Dark Arts. While in Diagon Alley, Harry, Ron and Hermione spot Draco Malfoy and follow him. At Borgin & Burkes, a dark magic shop in Knockturn Alley, Malfoy threatens Mr Borgin about repairing one item and keeping another safe. Hermione goes in after to try to find out what he was reserving. Suspecting Draco may be a Death Eater, Harry resolves to keep a close watch on him.

As school begins, Snape is unexpectedly announced as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts instructor while Slughorn replaces him as the Potions teacher. Slughorn only requires a minimum “E” grade (Exceeds Expectations) at O.W.L. to take his N.E.W.T.-level Potion classes, making Harry and Ron eligible for the class. On the first day of class, Slughorn lends them old Potions textbooks and potions ingredients to use. The previous owner of Harry’s copy of Advanced Potion Making has scribbled notes all over the pages, making corrections on Libatius Borage’s methods and making little annotations in the margins. Initially annoyed at the previous owner, Harry changes his mind when he discovers that the unknown owner’s corrections yield better results than Libatius Borage’s instructions. As a result, he is able to excel at the potion Slughorn has set them. As a reward for his success, Slughorn gives Harry a small bottle of Felix Felicis, a good-luck potion.

Ominous Death Eater attacks continue throughout the year. On the first Hogsmeade visit, Katie Bell, a Gryffindor student, is seriously injured while carrying a cursed necklace through Hogsmeade, apparently while under the Imperius Curse. In another incident, Ron accidentally drinks poisoned mead intended for Dumbledore. Harry reacts by administering the Bezoar he had submitted previously as an assignment to Slughorn. Hermione is so distraught over this that she and Ron, who were feuding mostly over Ron dating Lavender Brown and Hermione’s relationship with Viktor Krum, reconcile; Ron soon breaks it off with Lavender. Meanwhile, Harry realises that he has feelings for Ginny, although she is now dating Dean Thomas.

Dumbledore privately tutors Harry using his Pensieve to view collected memories about Voldemort’s past. Dumbledore speculates that Voldemort splintered his soul into six fragments called Horcruxes to attain immortality, while leaving a seventh piece in his body. Two Horcruxes have been destroyed (Tom Riddle’s diary by Harry^[HP2] and Marvolo Gaunt’s ring by Dumbledore).

When Harry finds Malfoy sobbing in a boys bathroom on the sixth floor, accompanied by Moaning Myrtle, they hurl curses at each other. Harry casts “Sectumsempra” inflicting huge gashes across Malfoy’s body. Snape arrives and saves Malfoy. He attempts to re-possess the Half-Blood Prince’s Potions book, but Harry hands him “Roonil Wazlib’s” (a.k.a. Ron’s) copy. Harry receives detention, causing him to miss the Quidditch finals. Nonetheless, Gryffindor wins the Cup, and during the victory celebration, Harry’s suppressed feelings for Ginny are revealed when he spontaneously kisses her; Ginny has just broken up with Dean Thomas, and she and Harry begin dating.

Harry reports Malfoy’s suspicious behaviour to a seemingly unconcerned Dumbledore. He reassures Harry that he trusts Severus in keeping a lookout. Soon after, Harry learns from Professor Trelawney that it was Snape who passed a prophecy to Voldemort that ultimately led to James and Lily Potter’s deaths. Enraged, Harry confronts Dumbledore, but the Professor affirms Snape’s loyalty. Dumbledore, meanwhile, has located another Horcrux and asks Harry to accompany him in retrieving it. Distrusting Malfoy and Snape, Harry asks Ron, Hermione, Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom and Ginny to patrol the halls while he and Dumbledore are gone and gives them the remaining Felix Felicis potion for luck. Harry and Dumbledore apparate to a secret cave. They aim to retrieve the Horcrux (Salazar Slytherin’s locket), by advancing past Voldemort’s defences. Dumbledore, however, has been greatly weakened due to the mysterious liquid he had to drink in order to acquire the locket.

Returning to Hogsmeade, Harry and Dumbledore see Lord Voldemort’s Dark Mark hovering over Hogwarts. They fly to the Astronomy Tower on borrowed broomsticks and are ambushed by Draco Malfoy. Dumbledore paralyses Harry, who is under his Invisibility Cloak, just before Draco disarms Dumbledore. Draco admits he was behind the school attacks and has helped Death Eaters secretly enter Hogwarts via the pair of Vanishing Cabinets, although Dumbledore discerns that Voldemort has cursed the obviously frightened boy.

As members of the Order and the few from Dumbledore’s Army battle Voldemort’s followers in the castle below, Death Eaters appear in the tower and urge Draco to fulfil his mission—killing Dumbledore—but Draco hesitates. Snape arrives and a weakened Dumbledore entreats him with an ambiguous plea; Snape casts Avada Kedavra which hits Dumbledore squarely in the chest. The impact hurls his body over the tower wall. Upon Dumbledore’s death, Harry is released from the paralysing spell. Harry pursues Snape and Malfoy, as their only way of escape would be to disapparate outside the boundaries of Hogwarts. Malfoy escapes as Snape duels Harry. During the duel, Snape reveals that he is the Half-Blood Prince. Harry appears to have been defeated, but suddenly Buckbeak’s intervention causes Snape to start running away. Snape disapparates outside the school gates and escapes. Harry recovers the locket from Dumbledore’s body, only to discover it is a fake. Inside is a note from someone with the initials R. A. B., who has apparently stolen the real Horcrux and left the fake one in its place.

The school year ends abruptly with Dumbledore’s funeral. Professor McGonagall is appointed Hogwarts’s interim headmistress and Professor Slughorn replaces Snape as the head of Slytherin House. Hogwarts is rumoured to close down due to the murder of Dumbledore. Harry decides to leave school in search for the remaining Horcruxes. Ron and Hermione vow to accompany him, while Harry seemingly ends his relationship with Ginny to protect her from Voldemort. The book concludes as Harry looks forward to Bill and Fleur’s wedding and being comforted that “…there was still one last golden day of peace left to enjoy with Ron and Hermione.

Harry Potter, the boy who lived, is about to start his sixth year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Before he gets there, however, Harry is whisked away from number 4, Privet Drive, where he lives with the Dursleys, by Headmaster Albus Dumbledore. Dumbledore takes him from Privet Drive and on a secret mission – to find and persuade Horace Slughorn to return to his teaching days and take up the position of Potions Master. Despite much hesitation and several outright refusals, Professor Dumbledore and Harry manage to persuade Slughorn to return to Hogwarts and teach Potions. So, what will Snape do? Well, he gets what he has always dreamed of (and has always been Harry’s worst nightmare) – he is to teach Defence Against the Dark Arts!

After a while, Harry learns to cope. What he can’t believe is that a simple Potions textbook of his can bring him so much trouble, and even nearly get him expelled! This textbook seems to belong to the so-called “Half-Blood Prince”, who has scribbled his own notes in the margins back in his own school days…like how to brew potions quickly, or which magic word is ideal against your enemies…. During his 6th year Harry often joins Dumbledore in the Penseive, to experience the Headmaster’s memories of 16 or 17 years ago – when Voldemort was at the height of his powers and Harry barely a month old. The sixth installment of the series delves into the young Voldemort’s past, up to the Fall of the Dark Lord, when baby Harry vanquished him. And as Harry and Dumbledore return from a perilous mission, they find Hogwarts invaded by Death Eaters trying to gain entrance to the castle and destroy certain artefacts of Voldemort’s. At the climax, Dumbledore is murdered…by Snape. Harry never wants to return to Hogwarts again.

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the seventh and final of the Harry Potter novels written by British author J. K. Rowling. The book was released on 21 July 2007, ending the series that began in 1997 with the publication of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. This book chronicles the events directly following Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2005), and leads to the long-awaited final confrontation between Harry Potter and Lord Voldemort.

Deathly Hallows is published in the United Kingdom by Bloomsbury Publishing, in the United States by Scholastic, in Canada by Raincoast Books, and in Australia and New Zealand by Allen & Unwin. Released globally in ninety-three countries, Deathly Hallows broke sales records as the fastest-selling book ever, selling more than 11 million copies in the first twenty-four hours following its release. The previous record, nine million in its first day, had been held by Half-Blood Prince.^[2] The Deathly Hallows has also been translated into numerous languages, including Ukrainian,^[3] Swedish,^[4] Polish^[5] and Hindi.^[6]

Dedication and epigraph

On the page, the unusual layout of the dedication resembles the shape of Harry’s scar. It reads, “The dedication of this book is split seven ways: to Neil, to Jessica, to David, to Kenzie, to Di, to Anne, and to you, if you have stuck with Harry until the very end”.

All the books in the Harry Potter series have dedications, but Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows is the only one to include an epigraph. It contains two quotes relating to death and friendship. The first quotation is an English translation from Ancient Greek of a passage from The Libation Bearers, by the 5th century BC playwright Aeschylus.^[42] The second quotation is from More Fruits of Solitude (1682) by William Penn, the Quaker author and founder of the American Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.^[43]

Plot

While in the Malfoy Manor, Lord Voldemort and his Death Eaters plan to ambush Harry Potter when he leaves the Dursley home with the Order of the Phoenix for the final time. Voldemort takes Lucius Malfoy‘s wand, in the hope that it will be able to kill Harry.

Meanwhile, Harry disposes of things he would not need, as he does not plan to go back to study at Hogwarts – notably, his Quidditch robes. Indeed, Harry would not have this year an occasion to play Quidditch; however, on three key occasions – getting hold of the Hufflepuff Cup and the Ravenclaw Diadem, and during the final fight with Voldemort – the “unerring skill of the Seeker” would be vitally useful to him in snatching an object out of the air.

Members of the Order of the Phoenix are ambushed by Death Eaters as they attempt to escort Harry from the Dursleys’ to a safe house by broomstick using decoys. Harry’s wand, seemingly of its own accord, countercurses Voldemort when Harry is attacked, allowing him to narrowly escape. Hedwig and Mad-Eye Moody are killed, and George Weasley loses an ear.

The trio go to The Burrow where Minister for Magic Rufus Scrimgeour arrives to give Harry, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger bequests from Albus Dumbledore‘s will. Ron receives the Deluminator, Hermione is left a children’s book, The Tales of Beedle the Bard, and Harry inherits Godric Gryffindor‘s Sword and a Snitch, bearing the mysterious phrase “I open at the close”. The Ministry claimed the sword to be “an important historical artefact”, however, and kept it.

At Bill Weasley and Fleur Delacour‘s wedding reception, a Patronus, conjured by Kingsley Shacklebolt arrives, announcing that the Ministry of Magic has fallen under Voldemort’s control, and that Ministry officials, and Death Eaters are on their way to The Burrow at that moment. As the wedding dissolves into chaos, Death Eaters approach, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione disapparate to Tottenham Court Road, where they hide in an empty cafe to plan their next move. However, the Death Eaters find them there and they narrowly escape. They eventually find and take refuge in 12 Grimmauld Place.

While at Grimmauld Place, Harry deduces that Sirius Black’s brother Regulus was the “R.A.B” who removed the Locket Horcrux from the sea cave.^[HP6] Hermione recalls seeing a locket whilst cleaning the house, and they discover that the house-elf Kreacher had stolen the locket from the items to be thrown out. Kreacher tells them that he had placed the Locket Horcrux in the cave as ordered by Voldemort, and Regulus later died after retrieving it and deceiving Voldemort. With the help of Kreacher and Mundungus Fletcher they learn that the locket is now in Dolores Umbridge‘s possession. The trio successfully infiltrate the Ministry of Magic and recover the locket. However, Grimmauld Place is compromised when they return, forcing them to flee to the countryside.

The trio begin to travel the country, looking for Horcruxes and the means to destroy them. Overhearing a discussion between Griphook the goblin, Dean Thomas, Ted Tonks, Dirk Cresswell, and Gornuk (another goblin), the trio learn that the Sword of Gryffindor that is held at Hogwarts is a fake. Harry decides to find the real sword that can destroy the Horcruxes; some time after this Ron and Harry argue over Harry’s lack of a plan, after which Ron abandons the group. Harry and Hermione search for the sword in Godric’s Hollow, as well as Harry’s old house. While looking at the house, Harry and Hermione are beckoned by Bathilda Bagshot into her home. Knowing something is not right, Harry follows her upstairs, where she transforms into Nagini. Voldemort himself appears almost immediately after. Hermione casts a Blasting Curse that ricochets around the room, facilitating their escape, but also irreparably damaging Harry’s wand. When Voldemort realises they have escaped him, his fury is so strong that Harry is forced to see Voldemort’s memory of the night he had killed Harry’s parents, leading Harry to fall unconscious.

Hermione apparates Harry to the Forest of Dean. While he is on watch, a silver doe-shaped Patronus leads Harry to an icy pond containing the real Sword of Gryffindor. As Harry dives into the freezing water to retrieve it, the locket Horcrux starts strangling him. Ron, who was guided back to the pair by the Deluminator that Dumbledore gave him, saves him. Ron recovers the sword and destroys the locket with it. Ron warns that Voldemort’s name is now Tabooed: speaking it reveals the speaker’s location to Voldemort and the Death Eaters.

The mysterious recurring symbol is revealed to represent the legendary Deathly Hallows.

The trio learn from Xenophilius Lovegood that the symbol they have encountered represents the three Deathly Hallows: the Elder Wand, the Resurrection Stone, and the Invisibility Cloak. Xenophilius tells them about the Deathly Hallows and the story of the Three Brothers who each took respective “gifts” from Death. When pressed about Luna’s absence, Lovegood admits that Death Eaters abducted her. Hoping for Luna’s return, he has alerted Death Eaters of the trio’s whereabouts, but the trio escape. Shortly after this escape, Harry figures out that the Invisibility Cloak is one of the Deathly Hallows.

Soon after, Harry accidentally uses the name of Voldemort, and the trio are captured by a gang of Snatchers, led by one of Voldemort’s followers and taken to Malfoy Manor, where they join the imprisoned Luna, Dean, Mr Ollivander, and Griphook. Finding Gryffindor’s Sword among the trio’s possessions, Bellatrix Lestrange fears they have broken into her Gringotts vault, and tortures Hermione for information. Help arrives in the form of Dobby, who apparates into the cellar and rescues Luna, Dean and Ollivander. This attracts the attention of Lucius Malfoy, who summons Wormtail to the cellar to check on the prisoners. As he enters the cellar, Harry and Ron attack Wormtail.^[HP4] Harry reminds Wormtail of his life debt after Harry saved his life.^[HP3] Wormtail hesitates and is subsequently strangled to death by his own silver hand for his betrayal. Harry and Ron rush upstairs to rescue Hermione; Ron disarms Bellatrix and Harry takes Draco Malfoy‘s wand. Dobby reappears, and they disapparate to Bill and Fleur’s Shell Cottage; Dobby is struck by Bellatrix’s knife during the escape, and dies afterwards. Voldemort, having been alerted to Harry being captured, arrives at Malfoy Manor almost immediately after Harry escapes and tortures the remaining Death Eaters. He then leaves them, goes to Hogwarts, and takes the Elder Wand from Dumbledore’s tomb.

At the cottage, Ollivander confirms the Elder Wand’s existence and says that a wand can transfer allegiance if its owner is defeated or disarmed. Ollivander adds a caveat: although the Elder Wand is unbeatable, its master is not. Bellatrix’s behaviour convinces the trio that another Horcrux is hidden in the Lestrange vault. Aided by Griphook, they penetrate Gringotts’ defences and retrieve Hufflepuff’s Cup, although they lose the sword to Griphook in the process. The trio escape Gringotts on the back of a guard dragon. Voldemort is then informed of the theft of the cup, and realises that his Horcruxes are being destroyed; through his mental connection to Harry, he inadvertantly reveals that another Horcrux is hidden at Hogwarts.

In Hogsmeade, Aberforth Dumbledore is able to smuggle the trio out of Hogsmeade and into Hogwarts. Harry alerts everyone in Hogwarts of Voldemort’s imminent arrival. Luna Lovegood suggests that the fifth Horcrux could be Ravenclaw’s lost diadem. Harry recalls seeing the diadem in the Room of Requirement when he hid his Potions book there the previous year. Meanwhile, Hermione destroys the Cup Horcrux with a basilisk fang. Various allies of Harry gather in the school, where the Battle of Hogwarts commences. In the Room of Requirement, Ron mentions that the house elves are still in the kitchens and in danger, whereupon Hermione runs over to Ron and kisses him.

While the trio are in the Room of Requirement, Draco Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle attack them. Crabbe mishandles the powerful Fiendfyre spell, killing himself and destroying the diadem, but the others escape unharmed.

During the battle, several of the Weasley brothers are duelling members of the Ministry of Magic. Percy and Fred are duelling the corrupted Minister Pius Thicknesse, when an explosion rocks the corridor, shattering one wall and killing Fred instantly.

Harry catches a glimpse of Voldemort’s mind again, and it leads the trio to the Shrieking Shack. Here they witness Voldemort kill Snape, believing it will make him the Elder Wand’s master. Voldemort leaves the Shack, and the trio approaches the dying Snape. As Snape dies, he gives his memories to Harry that prove Snape’s loyalty to Dumbledore, motivated by his lifelong love for Harry’s mother Lily. After being cursed by Gaunt’s Ring Horcrux, a doomed Dumbledore had ordered Snape to kill him at a strategic time, sparing Draco from carrying out Voldemort’s order to murder him. The memories also reveal that Harry himself is a Horcrux; he must die in order to destroy Voldemort.

Resigned to death, Harry leaves to go to Voldemort’s camp in the Forbidden Forest, and meets Neville Longbottom, whom he asks to kill Nagini if he gets the chance. Along the way, he realises that the Snitch holds the Resurrection Stone inside it, and is able to retrieve it, whereupon he summons the spirits of his parents, Sirius Black and the recently killed Remus Lupin, who accompany him to Voldemort’s camp. Voldemort then casts the Avada Kedavra curse at Harry.

Awakening in an ethereal place that looks to him like King’s Cross station, Harry is unsure whether he is alive or dead. Dumbledore appears and explains that Voldemort’s Horcrux within Harry has been destroyed. He says that just as Voldemort cannot die while his soul fragments remain, Voldemort cannot kill Harry because he used Harry’s blood in his resurrection.^[HP4] Voldemort’s killing curse instead destroyed the unknown fragment of Voldemort’s own soul that lay inside Harry. Harry glimpses a representation of Voldemort’s true self: a weeping, deformed child whom Dumbledore describes as “beyond any of our help.” Harry is then given the chance to return to the battle, being advised that he could possibly end it once and for all.

Harry revives, but feigns death. Voldemort orders Narcissa Malfoy to check Harry. Doing so, she realises that Harry is alive, and she asks him very quietly if her son Draco is still alive, to which Harry whispers yes. Narcissa, no longer caring about anything but her son, lies to Voldemort, telling him that Harry is dead. Harry is carried to Hogwarts as Voldemort’s trophy by the captured Hagrid and is displayed to agonised supporters gathered in the school entrance hall. When Neville Longbottom defies an invitation from Voldemort to join the Death Eaters (due to his pureblood status), the Sorting Hat is thrust onto his head and set aflame.

Grawp, the centaurs, and the giants add to a sudden disturbance caused by reinforcements from Hogsmeade residents and students’ families yelling war cries as they spill over the walls of the school. Neville then pulls off the Sorting Hat, draws Gryffindor’s Sword from it, and decapitates Nagini with a single stroke, destroying the final Horcrux. Harry moves around under his Invisibility Cloak and lends aid throughout the ensuing battle, as his supporters rally to defy Voldemort and the Death Eaters one last time. More reinforcements arrive in the form of the house-elves of Hogwarts, whipped into a fighting frenzy by Kreacher, they attack the Death Eaters with knives. Eventually, the battle pares down to Voldemort simultaneously dueling Professors McGonagall and Slughorn, as well as Kingsley Shacklebolt. Likewise, Bellatrix engages Hermione, Ginny and Luna in a fight. After Bellatrix tries to strike Ginny with a Killing Curse, she is confronted and killed by Mrs Weasley. Furious at losing his most loyal servant, Voldemort blasts his opponents off their feet. Harry casts a Shield Charm to prevent Voldemort from harming Mrs Weasley. Then, knowing that he is the Elder Wand’s true master, Harry finally takes off the Invisibility Cloak and confronts Voldemort. Unable to get Voldemort to even try feeling remorse, which could possibly have saved him, Harry informs Voldemort that when Draco disarmed Dumbledore on the Astronomy Tower, he unknowingly became the Elder Wand’s master;^[HP6] this allegiance was then transferred to Harry when he won Draco’s wand at Malfoy Manor. Voldemort then casts another Killing Curse at Harry, but the Elder Wand’s allegiance prevents it from harming its Master, and the spell rebounds off Harry’s disarming spell, killing Voldemort, and leaving Harry victorious.

Among the fatalities are Fred Weasley, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Colin Creevey, and fifty other people who died fighting the Death Eaters, as well as Voldemort and Bellatrix. Harry accepts thanks from his supporters and helps to comfort the grieving. He slips away to the Headmaster’s Office and is greeted by thunderous applause from the previous Headmasters’ portraits. With the help of Dumbledore via his portrait, Harry decides that the Elder Wand should be returned to Dumbledore’s tomb, where its power will be extinguished if he (Harry) dies undefeated, that the Stone will be left and forgotten in the Forbidden Forest, and that the Cloak would continue to be a Potter family heirloom. Before returning the Elder Wand to the tomb, Harry uses it to repair his own wand, which was previously thought to have been irreparably damaged. He then looks forward to sleeping in his bed in Gryffindor Tower, wondering if Kreacher would bring him a sandwich there.

Epilogue

Nineteen years later, Harry and Ginny Weasley are married and have three children: James Sirius, Albus Severus, and Lily Luna. Ron married Hermione and has two children, Rose and Hugo. The families meet at King’s Cross station, where a nervous Albus is departing for his first year at Hogwarts. Draco Malfoy and his wife are also there with their son, Scorpius. Harry’s godson, Teddy Lupin, is found kissing Victoire Weasley (Bill and Fleur’s daughter) in a train carriage. Neville Longbottom is now the Hogwarts Herbology professor and remains friends with the two families. The book ends with these final words: “The scar had not pained Harry for nineteen years. All was well.”
