- Harry Potter: Come on.
- Ron Weasley: *What*?
- Harry Potter: You heard what Hagrid said. Follow the spiders.
- Ron Weasley: They're heading into the Dark Forest! Why spiders? Why couldn't it be "follow the butterflies"?
- Molly 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 Molly hits him]
- Arthur Weasley: I mean, that was very wrong indeed, boys. Very wrong of you.
- Dobby: Master has given Dobby a sock.
- Lucius Malfoy: What? I didn't give...
- Dobby: Master has present Dobby with clothes! Dobby is... free.
- [Harry lifts up a pant leg, revealing it was his sock]
- Lucius Malfoy: [livid] You lost me MY SERVANT!
- Arthur Weasley: Now, Harry you must know all about Muggles, tell me, what exactly is the function of a rubber duck?
- Lucius Malfoy: Let us hope that Mr. Potter will always be around to save the day.
- Harry: Don't worry. I will be.
- [Harry, Ron and Lockhart find the Basilisk skin]
- Ron Weasley: What's this?
- Gilderoy Lockhart: It looks like a... snake.
- Harry Potter: It's a snake *skin*.
- Ron Weasley: Bloody hell! Whatever shed this must be sixty feet long! Or *more*!
- [Lockhart passes out]
- Ron Weasley: Heart of a lion, this one.
- Gilderoy Lockhart: [to Harry and Ron after grabbing Ron's wand] The adventure ends here, boys. But don't fret. The world will know our story. How I was too late to save the girl. How you two tragically lost your minds at the sight of her mangled body.
- [points wand to Harry]
- Gilderoy Lockhart: So... you first, Mr. Potter. Say goodbye to your memories. Obliviate!
- [he gets pulled backwards and thrown hit into a rock wall knocking him out which causes loose rocks to fall and block the path between Ron and Harry]
- Ron Weasley: Harry! Harry!
- Harry Potter: Ron! Ron, are you OK?
- Ron Weasley: I'm fine!
- Gilderoy Lockhart: [wakes up] Hello. Who are you?
- Ron Weasley: Um... Ron Weasley.
- Gilderoy Lockhart: Really? And, uh, wh-who am I?
- Ron Weasley: [to Harry] Lockhart's memory charm backfired! He hasn't got a clue who he is!
- Gilderoy Lockhart: [he picks up a rock] It's an odd sort of place, this, isn't it? Do you live here?
- Ron Weasley: [takes the rock] *No*!
- Gilderoy Lockhart: Really?
- [Ron knocks Lockhart unconscious with the rock]
- Ron Weasley: [to Harry, who's on the other side of the rock slide] What do I do now?
- Harry Potter: You wait here and try to shift some of this rock so we can get back through. I'll go on and find Ginny.
- Ron Weasley: OK.
- The Howler: Ronald Weasley! How dare you steal that car! I am absolutely disgusted! Your father's 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!
- [to Ginny]
- The Howler: Oh, and Ginny dear, congratulations on making Gryffindor. Your father and I are so proud.
- [turns back to Ron]
- The Howler: PPPBBBTTT!
- [it rips up]
- Oliver Wood: We play our game, Hufflepuff doesn't stand a chance. We're stronger, quicker and smarter.
- Fred Weasley: And not to mention they're dead scared that Harry'll petrify them if they fly anywhere near him.
- Oliver Wood: Well, that too.
- Hermione: Look, Hagrid's our friend, why don't we just go and ask him about it?
- Ron: That would 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.
- 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.
- [after using a spell to mend Harry's broken arm, Lockhart inadvertently removes all the bones in it]
- Gilderoy Lockhart: Ah... yes, well, that can sometimes happen. Um, but, uh, the point is, uh, you can no longer feel any pain. And, very clearly, the bones are not broken.
- Rubeus 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 legend. 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 book... you must be the Weasleys.
- Arthur Weasley: Children, it's mad in here. Let's go 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. Though judging by the state of this, I'd say not.
- [picks up a book out of Ginny's cauldron and discreetly slips Riddle's diary along with it back in the cauldron without anyone noticing]
- Lucius Malfoy: What's the use in 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 about what disgraces the name of wizard, Malfoy.
- Lucius Malfoy: Clearly. Associating with muggles. And I thought your family could sink no lower.
- Lucius Malfoy: [to Arthur as he walks out of Flourish & Blotts] See you at work.
- Draco Malfoy: [to Harry as he walks out] See you at school.
- Ron Weasley: They were starving him, Mum! There were bars on his window!
- Molly Weasley: Well, you'd best hope I don't put bars on *your* window, Ronald Weasley! Come on, Harry. Time for a spot of breakfast.
- Ginny Weasley: Mummy, have you seen my jumper?
- Molly Weasley: Yes, dear, it was on the cat.
- [sees Harry; a shocked look forms on her face]
- Harry Potter: Hello.
- [Ginny runs off]
- Harry Potter: What did I do?
- Ron Weasley: Ginny. She's been talking about you all summer. Bit annoying, really.
- [deleted scene]
- Fred Weasley: Look everyone, it's the heir of Slytherin!
- George Weasley: Be careful! He's a seriously evil wizard.
- Ron: 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're nipping off to 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, even something 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.
- Hermione Granger: Professor, I was wondering if you could tell us about... the Chamber of Secrets.
- Minerva McGonagall: [seeing everyone's curious faces] Very well. Well, you all know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago, by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw... and Salazar Slytherin. Now, three of the founders co-existed quite harmoniously. One did not.
- Ron Weasley: Three guesses who.
- 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 Granger: Muggle-borns.
- Minerva McGonagall: Well, naturally the school has been searched many times. No such chamber has been found.
- Hermione Granger: Professor, what exactly does the legend tell us lies within the Chamber?
- Minerva McGonagall: Well, the Chamber is said to be home to something that *only* the Heir of Slytherin can control! It is said to be the home... of a monster.
- [Ron looks behind him to face Draco's evil smile]
- Dobby: Harry Potter freed Dobby! How can Dobby ever repay him?
- Harry Potter: Just promise me something.
- Dobby: Anything, sir.
- Harry Potter: Never try to save my life again.
- Ron Weasley: Follow the spiders? *Follow the spiders*? If Hagrid *ever* gets out of Azkaban, I'll kill him!
- [the flying car drives itself back into the Dark Forest]
- Ron Weasley: I mean, what was the point of sending us in there? What have we found out?
- Harry Potter: We know one thing: Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets. He was innocent.
- Dumbledore: [discreetly talking to Harry and Ron knowing they're under the cloak] You will find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.
- Lucius Malfoy: Admirable sentiments. Shall we? Fudge?
- Cornelius Fudge: Come, Hagrid. Well?
- Hagrid: [discreetly talking to Harry and Ron] If, uh, if anybody was looking for some stuff, then all they'd have to do would be to follow the spiders.
- [pause]
- Hagrid: Yup. That would lead 'em right. That's all I have to say.
- [he leaves]
- Tom Riddle: 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 Potter: Why do you care how I escaped? Voldemort was after your time!
- Tom Riddle: Voldemort... *is* my past, present, and future.
- [using Harry's wand, writes his full name "Tom Marvolo Riddle" in the air, then swipes, causing the letters to rearrange themselves and spell out "I am Lord Voldemort"]
- Harry Potter: You. You're the Heir of Slytherin.
- [stares into Tom's eyes]
- Harry Potter: You're Voldemort.
- Tom Riddle: [slowly growing angry] Surely... you didn't think... I was going to keep my filthy Muggle father's name? No. I fashioned myself a new name, a name I knew wizards everywhere would one day fear to speak when I became the greatest sorcerer in the world!
- Harry Potter: Albus Dumbledore is the greatest sorcerer in the world!
- Tom Riddle: Dumbledore's been driven out of this castle by the mere memory of me!
- Harry Potter: He'll *never* be gone! Not as long as those who remain are loyal to him!
- Harry: You're Aragog, aren't you?
- Aragog: Yes. Hagrid has never sent men into our hollow before.
- Harry: He's in trouble. Up at the school there've been attacks. They think it's 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.
- Ron: [terrified] Harry.
- Harry: Shush.
- [to Aragog]
- Harry: But, if you're not the monster, then-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.
- Ron: Harry!
- Harry: What?
- [Ron points at the spiders surrounding them]
- 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?
- Prof. Sprout: Oh, Longbottom's been neglecting his earmuffs.
- Seamus Finnigan: No, ma'am, he's just fainted.
- Prof. Sprout: [sighs] Yes, well, just leave him there.
- Moaning Myrtle: *I'm* Moaning Myrtle! I wouldn't expect you to know me! Who would ever 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.
- 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 through her stomach!
- [punches Ron in stomach]
- Moaning Myrtle: Fifty points if it goes through her head!
- [punches Ron in head]
- Molly Weasley: Now don't forget to speak very, very clearly.
- Harry: Diagonally.
- [Harry vanishes]
- Molly Weasley: What did he say dear?
- Arthur Weasley: Diagonally.
- Molly Weasley: I thought he did.
- Gilderoy Lockhart: Let's have a volunteer pair. Potter, Weasley, how about you?
- Severus Snape: Weasley's wand causes devastation with the simplest spells. We'll be sending Potter to the hospital wing in a matchbox. Might I suggest someone from my own house?
- [slight pause]
- Severus Snape: Malfoy, perhaps?
- 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.
- [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: I'm afraid that's my doing, Severus. You see, Harry was helping me answer my fan mail.
- Draco Malfoy: [after having Harry's picture taken] Bet you loved that, didn't you Potter. Famous Harry Potter can't even go into a bookshop without making the front page.
- Ginny: Leave him alone.
- Draco Malfoy: Oh, look, Potter, you got yourself a girlfriend.
- Gilderoy Lockhart: [whilst flying out of the Chamber of Secrets with Fawkes, Harry, Ron, and Ginny] AMAZING! This is just like magic!
- Oliver Wood: I don't believe it! Where you think you're going, Flint?
- Marcus Flint: Qudditch practice!
- Oliver Wood: I booked the pitch for Gryffindor today.
- Marcus Flint: Easy, Wood. I've got a note.
- Ron: Uh-oh. I smell trouble.
- 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: That's 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: You okay, Ron? Say something!
- [Ron opens his mouth and coughs up a huge slug and 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!
- [he and Hermione assist Ron up]
- Harry Potter: Come on, let's take him to Hagrid's.
- [Ron throws up another slug]
- Harry Potter: He'll know what to do.
- [he, Hermione, and Ron run off to Hagrid's as Ron continues to throw up slugs. Malfoy looks at them, then back at his teammates, laughing]
- [deleted scene; the students are 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 down as his next victim, it's best he keeps a low profile for awhile.
- Hannah Abbott: But why would he want to attack Justin?
- Ernie MacMillan: Well, Justin let it slip to Potter that he was Muggle-born.
- Hannah Abbott: And you definitely 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 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 to kill him in the first place. Didn't want another Dark Lord competing with him.
- Ron Weasley: Do you think it's true? Do you think there really is a Chamber of Secrets?
- Hermione Granger: Yes! Couldn't you tell? McGonagall's worried. *All* the teachers are.
- Harry Potter: But if there really *is* a Chamber of Secrets, a-and it really has been opened, then that means...
- Hermione Granger: The heir of Slytherin has returned to Hogwarts. The question is, who is it?
- Ron Weasley: [sarcastically] Let's think. Who do we know who thinks all Muggle-borns are scum?
- Hermione Granger: If you're talking about Malfoy...
- Ron Weasley: Of course! You heard him! "You'll be next, Mudbloods."
- Hermione Granger: I heard him. But Malfoy, the heir of Slytherin?
- Harry Potter: Well, maybe Ron's right, Hermione. I mean, look at his family. The whole lot of them have been in Slytherin for *centuries*.
- Ron Weasley: [getting an idea] Crabbe and Goyle must know! Maybe we can trick them into telling.
- Hermione Granger: [scoffs] Even *they* aren't that thick, but there might be another way. Mind you, it would be difficult, not to mention we'd be breaking about *fifty* school rules! *And* it will be dangerous. *Very* dangerous.
- 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? 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.
