until that time when his own true heir returned to the school. Though shortly before departing, he sealed it. Now according to legend, Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in this castle, known as the Chamber of Secrets. Unable to sway the others, he decided to leave the school. He believed magical learning should be kept within all-magic families – in other words, "pure-bloods". Salazar Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. Now three of the founders co-existed quite harmoniously. Well, you all knew, 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. Professor, I was wondering if you'd tell us about the Chamber of Secrets. You'll pay for that one, Malfoy! Eat slugs! No one asked your opinion, you filthy little Mudblood. You see, Weasley, unlike some, my father can afford the best.Īt least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in. Those are Nimbus Two-Thousand and Ones! How did you get those? (The Howler turns back to Ron and blows a raspberry at him, then tears itself to pieces)
RONALD WEASLEY!!! (The Howler forms itself into a ranting mouth) 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!!! (The Howler turns to Ginny, who is eating her breakfast its voice is now quiet and loving) Oh, and Ginny, dear, congratulations on making Gryffindor.
Look, everyone! Weasley's got himself a Howler! (Errol is flying towards the Gryffindor table with a letter he crashes into a bowl of crisps, knocking them all over the table Slytherins laugh as Ron nervously picks up the letter and Errol flies off) I will be writing to your families tonight, and you will both receive detentions. But I must impress on both of you the seriousness of what you have done. However, as head of Gryffindor House, it is for Professor McGonagall to determine the appropriate action. I am well aware of our bylaws, Severus, having written quite a few of them myself. these boys have flouted the Decree for the Restriction of Underage Wizardry. Silence! I assure you that were you in Slytherin and your fate rested with me, the both of you would be on the train home, tonight! As it is. Honestly, Professor Snape, I think it did more damage to us. You were seen, by no less than seven Muggles! Do you have any idea how serious this is? You have risked the exposure of our world! Not to mention the damage you inflicted on a Whomping Willow that's been on these grounds since before you were born. And I thought your family could sink no lower. We have a very different idea about what disgraces the name of wizard, Malfoy.Ĭlearly. What's the use of being a disgrace to the name of wizard. Though judging by the state of this, I'd say not. All those extra raids I do hope they're paying you overtime. Let's go outside.īusy time at the Ministry, Arthur. Fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself.Īnd you must be. Hmm, you must be very brave to mention his name. As, of course, is the wizard who gave it to you. Can't even go into a bookshop without making the front page. Jeff Shannonīet you loved that, didn't you, Potter? Famous Harry Potter. Brimming with cleverness, wonderment, and big-budget splendor, Chamber honors the legacy of J.K. The young, fast-growing cast offers ample compensation, however, as does the late Richard Harris in his final screen appearance as Professor Albus Dumbledore.
At 161 minutes, the film suffers from lack of depth and uneven pacing, and John Williams' score mostly reprises established themes. House elves, squealing mandrakes, giant spiders, and venomous serpents populate this loyal adaptation (by Sorcerer's Stone director Chris Columbus and screenwriter Steve Kloves), and Kenneth Branagh delightfully tops the supreme supporting cast as the vainglorious charlatan Gilderoy Lockhart (be sure to view past the credits for a visual punchline at Lockhart's expense). Expanding upon the lavish sets, special effects, and grand adventure of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry involves a darker, more malevolent tale (parents with younger children beware), beginning with the petrified bodies of several Hogwarts students and magical clues leading Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint), and Hermione (Emma Watson) to a 50-year-old mystery in the monster-laden Chamber of Secrets.
