Movie Quotes

Harry Potter:
Did you know, sir? Then?


Albus Dumbledore:
Did I know that I just met the most dangerous dark wizard of all time? No.

[Romilda Vane and Harry are staring at each other across the library]


Hermione Granger:
[snaps her fingers] Hey! She's only interested in you because she thinks you're the Chosen One.


Harry Potter:
But I am the Chosen One.

[Hermione smacks him on the head with the newspaper]


Harry Potter:
Sorry... kidding!

Arthur Weasley:
Times like these, dark times, they do funny things to people. They can tear them apart.

Harry Potter:
It was Malfoy.


Professor Minerva McGonagall:
That is a very serious accusation, Potter.


Severus Snape:
Indeed. Your evidence?


Harry Potter:
...I just know.


Severus Snape:
You... just... know. Once again, you astound me with your gifts, Potter. How grand it must be to be the Chosen One.

Albus Dumbledore:
[after Harry confusedly finishes viewing a memory from Dumbledore's pensieve] Confused? I'd be surprised if you weren't.


Harry Potter:
Well, I don't understand. What happened?


Albus Dumbledore:
This is perhaps the most important memory I've collected. It is also a lie. This memory has been tampered with by the same person whose memory it is, our old friend, Professor Slughorn.


Harry Potter:
But why would he tamper with his own memory?


Albus Dumbledore:
I suspect he's ashamed of it.


Harry Potter:
Why?


Albus Dumbledore:
Why, indeed? I asked you to get to know Professor Slughorn, and you have done so. Now I want you to persuade him to divulge his true memory any way you can.


Harry Potter:
I don't know him that well, sir.


Albus Dumbledore:
This memory is everything. Without it, we are blind. Without it, we leave the fate of our world to chance. You have no choice. You must not fail.

Harry Potter:
Is that what you told Tom Riddle, when he came asking questions?


Horace Slughorn:
[Disgusted] Dumbledore put you up to this, didn't he? Didn't he?

Hermione Granger:
Do you honestly expect you can just walk up to him and ask for his deepest, darkest secret?

Albus Dumbledore:
You must be wondering why I brought you here.


Harry Potter:
Actually sir, after all these years I just sort of go with it.

Hermione Granger:
[after she sees Ron accepting an embarrassing necklace from Lavender] Excuse me, I have to go vomit.

Ginny Weasley:
Take my hand.

Albus Dumbledore:
This is beyond anything I have imagined.

Hermione Granger:
You have to realize who you are, Harry.

Arthur Weasley:
Harry, no!

Albus Dumbledore:
[about Hermione] Are you and her...?


Harry Potter:
Oh no, no, no. I mean, she's brilliant, but we're friends.

Severus Snape:
It's over.

[in the hospital wing, Ron stirs]


Lavender Brown:
Ah! See? He senses my presence.

[leans down]


Lavender Brown:
Don't worry, Won-Won! I'm here. I'm here.


Ron Weasley:
[croaks] Her... my... nee. Hermione...

[Hermione takes Ron's hand. Lavender runs out, sobbing. Awkward silence]


Albus Dumbledore:
Oh, to be young and to feel love's keen sting.

Ron Weasley:
It's beautiful, isn't it? The moon.


Harry Potter:
Divine. Had ourselves a little late night snack, did we?


Ron Weasley:
It was on your bed, the box, I just thought I'd try one.


Harry Potter:
Or twenty.


Ron Weasley:
I can't stop thinking about her, Harry.


Harry Potter:
Honestly, you know, I reckon she was starting to annoy you.


Ron Weasley:
She could never annoy me. I think I love her.


Harry Potter:
Oh... brilliant.


Ron Weasley:
Do you think she knows I exist?


Harry Potter:
Well, I'd bloody well hope so, she's been snogging you for three months.


Ron Weasley:
Snogging? Who are you talking about?


Harry Potter:
Who are you talking about?


Ron Weasley:
Romilda, of course. Romilda Vane.


Harry Potter:
Okay, very funny.


Ron Weasley:
[throws the chocolates box at Harry]


Harry Potter:
What was that for?


Ron Weasley:
It's no joke! I'm in love with her!


Harry Potter:
Alright, fine, you're in love with her! Have you ever actually met her?


Ron Weasley:
No... Can you introduce me?

[first lines]


Bellatrix Lestrange:
[faded voiceover] I killed Sirius Black!

Horace Slughorn:
What about you, Miss Granger? What do your parents do in the muggle world?


Hermione Granger:
Ah, my parents are dentists.


Horace Slughorn:
And is that considered a dangerous profession?

Severus Snape:
[looking at Draco] I will escort him out.


Draco Malfoy:
[glaring at Snape] Certainly - Professor.

Horace Slughorn:
[showing Harry pictures] I taught the whole Black family, except Sirius, it's a shame. I got Regulus when he came around of course, but I would have liked the set.

Professor Minerva McGonagall:
Potter, take Weasley with you. He looks far too happy over there.

Narcissa Malfoy:
[to Bellatrix] Don't you dare blame my husband!

Narcissa Malfoy:
[to Snape] Severus... my son... my only son.


Bellatrix Lestrange:
Draco should be proud. The Dark Lord is granting him a great honor.

Bellatrix Lestrange:
[to Narcissa] Cissy, wait! You must not do this! You can't trust him!

Harry Potter:
But, Sir, I thought we weren't allowed to apparate on Hogwarts' grounds.


Albus Dumbledore:
Well, being me... has its privileges.

Remus Lupin:
You're blinded by hatred.


Harry Potter:
No I'm not!


Remus Lupin:
Yes you are!

Katie Bell:
I know you're going to ask me Harry, but I don't know who cursed me. I've been trying to remember, honestly. But I just can't.

Ron Weasley:
[to Hermione and Ginny] He'll be here, soon.

[starts eating]


Hermione Granger:
[smacks him on the arm with a book] Will you stop eating? Your best friend is missing!


Ron Weasley:
Turn around, you lunatic!

[Hermione and Ginny looks towards the Great Hall door and sees Harry covered in blood]


Ginny Weasley:
He's covered in blood again. Why is it he's always covered in blood?


Ron Weasley:
Well, it looks like it's his own this time.

Argus Filch:
[Holding Malfoy] Professor Slughorn, sir. I've just discovered this boy lurking in an upstairs corridor. He claims to be invited to your party.


Draco Malfoy:
Ok! Ok! I was gate crashing. Happy?

Harry Potter:
[for Quidditch tryouts] Okay, so this morning I'm going to be putting you all though a few drills, just to set things straight.

[everyone is talking]


Harry Potter:
Quiet, please.

[everybody's still taking]


Ginny Weasley:
[shouts] Shut It!

[everyone is silent]


Harry Potter:
Thanks.

Albus Dumbledore:
Ah, Harry... you need a shave, my friend.

[after telling Harry to close his eyes, Ginny hides his book somewhere in the Room of Requirement, then comes back, and gives him a soft kiss on the lips]


Ginny Weasley:
That can stay hidden up here too, if you like.

[a short time later, Harry is walking down the hallway, in a daze. Ron appears beside him]


Ron Weasley:
So, did you and Ginny do it?


Harry Potter:
[alarmed] What?


Ron Weasley:
Did you hide the book?

Ron Weasley:
[about Hermione] Did you hear her talk about me and her snogging? As if...

Albus Dumbledore:
[holding up a Muggle magazine] Horace, do you mind if I take this? I do love knitting patterns.

Ron Weasley:
How much are these?


Fred Weasley, George Weasley:
5 galleons.


Ron Weasley:
How much for me?


Fred Weasley, George Weasley:
5 galleons.


Ron Weasley:
I'm your brother!


Fred Weasley, George Weasley:
10 galleons.

Horace Slughorn:
[talking to Harry about his fish] It was a student who gave me Francis. One day I came down to my office, and there was a bowl with only a few inches of clear water in it. And there was a flower petal floating on the water. Before my eyes it started to sink, and just before it hit the bottom, it transformed into a wee fish. It was a beautiful piece of magic, wondrous to behold. The flower petal was from a lily. The day Francis disappeared was the day your mother...

Severus Snape:
Run along, Wormtail!

[He waves his wand at the door, slamming it and knocking Wormtail back]

Horace Slughorn:
[shocked] Harry!


Harry Potter:
[imitating Slughorn and hyper from the Felix potion] Sir!

Severus Snape:
[Snape has just walked in on Harry and Cormac. Harry attempts to run away] Not... so fast, Potter.


Harry Potter:
Sorry, sir, but I really should be getting back to the party. My date...


Severus Snape:
Can surely survive another minute without you. Besides, I only wish to convey a message.

Harry Potter:
Sorry I made you miss the carriages by the way, Luna.


Luna Lovegood:
That's all right, it's like being with a friend.


Harry Potter:
Oh, I am your friend, Luna.


Luna Lovegood:
That's nice.

[last lines]


Harry Potter:
I never noticed how beautiful this place is.

Severus Snape:
[Cormac throws up on Snape's shoes] You've just earned yourself detention for a month, McClaggen.

Horace Slughorn:
Thank you for the pineapple, you're quite right, it is my favorite - but how did you know?


Tom Riddle - Age 16:
Intuition.

Ginny Weasley:
[she and Harry are in the Room of Requirement. Ginny takes the book from Harry so she can hide it] Close your eyes so you won't be tempted

Draco Malfoy:
[stomping on Harry's nose] That was for my father.

[covers Harry with his Invisibility Cloak]


Draco Malfoy:
Enjoy your trip back to London!

Harry Potter:
[chasing after Snape after Snape killed Dumbledore] Snape! He trusted you!

Draco Malfoy:
Nice face, Potter!

Luna Lovegood:
I've never been to this part of the castle. Well, not awake. I sleepwalk, you see. That's why I wear shoes to bed.

Horace Slughorn:
[in regard to returning to Hogwarts] All right, I'll do it! But I want Professor Merrythought's office, not that water closet I had before. And I want a raise, these are mad times we live in. MAD!

Professor Minerva McGonagall:
[to Harry, Ron, & Hermione] Why is it, that whenever anything happens, it's always you three?


Ron Weasley:
Believe me, Professor. I've been asking myself that same question for the past six years.

Rubeus Hagrid:
Seriously misunderstood creatures, spiders are. It's the eyes, I reckon, they unnerve some folk.


Harry Potter:
Not to mention the pincers...

[clicks his tongue while miming pincers biting]

Harry Potter:
What happens when you break an Unbreakable Vow?


Ron Weasley:
You die.

Horace Slughorn:
Harry! I must insist you accompany me back to the castle immediately!


Harry Potter:
That would be counterproductive, sir!


Horace Slughorn:
What makes you say that?


Harry Potter:
No idea!

Professor Minerva McGonagall:
Mr. Davis! Mr. Davis, that is the girls' lavatory.

Ron Weasley:
[about the Half-Blood Prince's book] He even sleeps with it.


Harry Potter:
I don't sleep with it!

Neville Longbottom:
[serving drinks at Slughorn's Christmas party] I didn't get into the Slug Club. It's okay, though. He's got Belby handing out towels in the loo.

Ron Weasley:
You heard Snape say he's made an Unbreakable Vow?


Harry Potter:
Yes. What does it mean?


Ron Weasley:
Well, you can't break an Unbreakable Vow!


Harry Potter:
[sarcastic] I worked that much out for myself, funny enough.

Bellatrix Lestrange:
[walking into the astronomy tower followed by Death Eaters] Well look what we have here. Dumbledore wandless, alone and cornered in his own castle! Well done, Draco!


Albus Dumbledore:
Good evening, Bellatrix. I think introductions are called for.


Bellatrix Lestrange:
Love to, Albus, but I'm afraid we're on a bit of a tight schedule.

[to Draco]


Bellatrix Lestrange:
Do it!


Fenrir Greyback:
He doesn't have the stomach, like his father. Let me finish him in my own way.


Bellatrix Lestrange:
No! The Dark Lord was clear, the boy's to do it.

Ron Weasley:
[about Ginny and Dean] What do you think he sees in her?


Harry Potter:
She's smart... funny... attractive...


Ron Weasley:
Attractive?


Harry Potter:
Well you know... she has nice... skin.


Ron Weasley:
So you think he is going out with her because she has nice skin?


Harry Potter:
Well, I dunno, I'm just saying it could be a contributing factor.


Ron Weasley:
Hermione's got nice skin. You know, as far as skin goes.


Harry Potter:
I-I've never thought about it before. But now that you mention it, yeah. Very nice.


Harry Potter:
[long pause] ... I think I'll be going to bed now.

Remus Lupin:
Has it occurred to you Harry, that Snape was simply pretending to offer Draco help so he could find out what he was up to?


Harry Potter:
That's not what it sounded like.


Nymphadora Tonks:
Perhaps Harry's right, Remus. I mean, to make an Unbreakable Vow...


Remus Lupin:
It comes down to whether or not you trust Dumbledore. Dumbledore trusts Snape, therefore I do.

Narcissa Malfoy:
I know I'm not to be here. The Dark Lord himself forbid me to speak of this...


Severus Snape:
If the Dark Lord has forbidden it, you are not to speak...

[Snape turns to Bellatrix fooling around with his things]


Severus Snape:
Put it down, Bella. We mustn't touch what isn't ours.

[to Narcissa]


Severus Snape:
As it so happens, I'm aware of your situation.


Bellatrix Lestrange:
You? The Dark Lord told you?


Severus Snape:
Your sister doubts me. Over the years I've played my part well, so well I've deceived one of the greatest wizards of all time.


Bellatrix Lestrange:
[Snarling] Huh!


Severus Snape:
Dumbledore *is* a great wizard. Only a fool would question it.


Narcissa Malfoy:
I don't doubt you Severus.


Bellatrix Lestrange:
[Walking around] You should be honored Cissy, as should Draco.


Narcissa Malfoy:
...He's just a boy.


Severus Snape:
I can't change the Dark Lord's mind. But it might be possible for me to help Draco.


Narcissa Malfoy:
[Getting up] Severus...


Bellatrix Lestrange:
Swear to it... make the Unbreakable Vow.

[Walking over to Snape]


Bellatrix Lestrange:
It's just empty words. He'll give it his best effort, when it maters most. He'll just slither back into his hole... coward.


Severus Snape:
[coldly] Take-out-your-wand.

[Cut to Snape and Narcissa clasping hands, as Bellatrix circles them, holding her wand]


Bellatrix Lestrange:
Will you, Severus Snape, watch over Draco Malfoy, as he attempts to fulfill the Dark Lord's wishes?


Severus Snape:
I will.


Bellatrix Lestrange:
And will you, to the best of your ability, protect him from harm?


Severus Snape:
I will.


Bellatrix Lestrange:
And, if Draco should fail, will you yourself carry out the deed the Dark Lord has ordered Draco to perform?


Severus Snape:
I will.

Harry Potter:
[talking to Slughorn] Be brave, Professor. Be brave like my mother... Otherwise, you disgrace her. Otherwise, she died for nothing. Otherwise, the bowl will remain empty... forever.

Horace Slughorn:
Exactly how did you get out of the castle, Harry?


Harry Potter:
Through the front door sir.

Horace Slughorn:
[during Aragog's funeral] Farewell, Aragog. King of the arachnids. Your body will decay... but your spirit lingers on and your human friends find solace, the loss they have sustained.

Rubeus Hagrid:
[talking about Aragog] I had him from an egg, you know? Tiny little thing he was when he hatched. No bigger than a Pekingese. A Pekingese, mind you!


Horace Slughorn:
How sweet! I once had a fish... Francis. He was very dear to me. One afternoon, I came downstairs and... it vanished. Poof.


Rubeus Hagrid:
That's very odd, isn't it?


Horace Slughorn:
Yes, doesn't it? But that's life! I suppose, you - you go along with and suddenly... poof.


Rubeus Hagrid:
Poof.


Harry Potter:
Poof.

Albus Dumbledore:
Draco, please let me help you!


Draco Malfoy:
[crying] I don't need your help! I have to do this! I have to kill you... or he's gonna kill me!

Horace Slughorn:
I would have thought an expert potion-maker like yourself could whip up an antidote for a love potion in no time, Harry?


Harry Potter:
Well, sir, I think this called for a more practiced hand.


Ron Weasley:
[throws his arms around Slughorn] Hello, darling. Fancy a drink?


Horace Slughorn:
Perhaps you're right.

Ginny Weasley:
[Hermione is holding hands with an unconscious Ron in the hospital wing. Ginny gets up and walks past Harry] About time, don't you think?


Hermione Granger:
[Harry looks at Hermione] Oh, shut up.

[Hermione turns back to Ron, smiling coyly]

Waiter:
[Hermione hides from Cormac at the Christmas party. Waiter offers hors d'oeuvres] Dragon tartare?


Hermione Granger:
No, thank you.


Harry Potter:
I'm fine.


Waiter:
Just as well. They give you terrible bad breath.


Hermione Granger:
On second thought...

[grabs the tray and gobbles two]


Hermione Granger:
Maybe they'll keep McLaggen at bay... oh, God, here he comes!

Cormac McLaggen:
No hard feelings, eh, Weasley?


Ron Weasley:
What do you mean?


Cormac McLaggen:
I'll be trying out for Gryffindor Keeper too. Nothing personal.


Ron Weasley:
Really? Big, strapping fellow like you? You look like you've got more of a Beater's build to me. I mean, to be Keeper, you've got to be a quick and agile sort...

[McLaggen snatches a fly buzzing around Ron's head with his fingers]


Cormac McLaggen:
I like my chances. By the way, think you could introduce me to your friend Granger? Wouldn't mind getting on a first-name basis with her, if you know what I mean...

Ron Weasley:
I must admit, I thought I was going to miss that last one. I hope Cormac's not taking it too hard. I think he's got a bit of a thing for you, Hermione, Cormac.


Hermione Granger:
[shortly] He's vile.

Harry Potter:
Incarcerous!

[Snape blocks the curse]


Harry Potter:
Fight back!, you coward! Fight back!

[Bellatrix shoots a curse at Harry]


Severus Snape:
No! He belongs to the Dark Lord!


Harry Potter:
Sectumsempra!

[Snape blocks the curse again, throwing Harry onto his back]


Severus Snape:
You dare use my own spells against me, Potter? Yes. I'm the Half Blood Prince.

Albus Dumbledore:
[talking about Tom Riddle in the Great Hall] Every day, every hour, this very minute, perhaps, dark forces attempt to penetrate this castle's walls.

[pause]


Albus Dumbledore:
But in the end, their greatest weapon... is you.

Albus Dumbledore:
Take my arm.

[apparates]


Harry Potter:
I just apparated, didn't I?


Albus Dumbledore:
Indeed. Quite successfully, I might add. Most people vomit their first time.


Harry Potter:
[dry-heaving] I can't imagine why.

Draco Malfoy:
[looking at Harry's broken nose] Nice face, Potter!

[Harry nods disdainfully; Luna pulls out her wand]


Luna Lovegood:
Would you like me to fix it for you? Personally, I think you look a little more devil-may-care this way, but it's up to you.


Harry Potter:
Um... have you ever fixed a nose before?


Luna Lovegood:
No. But I've done several toes, and how different are they, really?


Harry Potter:
...Okay, yeah, sure, give it a go.


Luna Lovegood:
Episkey!

[a loud crack]


Harry Potter:
Augh...!

[rubs his nose gingerly; looks at Luna]


Harry Potter:
Well? How do I look?


Luna Lovegood:
Exceptionally ordinary.


Harry Potter:
...Brilliant.

[after exposing Slughorn's disguise]


Albus Dumbledore:
I must say, Horace, you make a very convincing armchair.


Horace Slughorn:
Oh, thank you. It's all in the details. You have to get the upholstery just right...

[pats his stomach]


Horace Slughorn:
The stuffing is all mine.

[Slughorn is snipping tentacular leaves through a window in the greenhouse; Harry, who is walking by, notices Slughorn and walks up behind him. Slughorn is startled]


Horace Slughorn:
Aaauughh!... Merlin's beard, Harry!


Harry Potter:
Oh, sorry, sir, I should've announced myself. Cleared my throat. Coughed. You probably feared I was Professor Sprout!


Horace Slughorn:
Yes, I did actually!... What made you think that?


Harry Potter:
Oh, well, just the general behavior, sir - the sneaking around, jumping when you saw me... Are those tentacular leaves, sir? They're very valuable, aren't they?


Horace Slughorn:
Ten Galleons a leaf to the right buyer!... Not that I'm familiar with any such back alley transactions, but one does hear rumors. My own interests are purely academic, of course.


Harry Potter:
Personally, these plants always kind of freak me out.

[Harry and Luna are the last two students to arrive at the school]


Professor Filius Flitwick:
There you are! We've been looking everywhere for you two.

[looks at his register]


Professor Filius Flitwick:
Now, names?


Harry Potter:
Professor Flitwick, you've known me for five years.


Professor Filius Flitwick:
[awkwardly] No exceptions... Potter.

Hermione Granger:
How does it feel, Harry? When you see Dean with Ginny?


Harry Potter:
[slightly taken aback] Oh. Um...


Hermione Granger:
I know. I've seen the way you look at her. You're my best friend.

[Ron bursts in with Lavender, laughing, then sobers when he sees Hermione and Harry]


Lavender Brown:
Oops!... I think this room's taken.

[runs off]


Ron Weasley:
[awkwardly] ... What's with the birds?


Hermione Granger:
[stands, glares at Ron] Oppugno!

[Hermione's flock of birds fly at Ron, who flees the room. Hermione sinks next to Harry and breaks down crying]


Harry Potter:
It feels like this.

[Harry gulps down the Felix Felicis]


Hermione Granger:
How do you feel?


Harry Potter:
Excellent... really excellent!


Hermione Granger:
Remember, Slughorn usually eats early, takes a walk, and then returns to his office.


Harry Potter:
Right. I'm going down to Hagrid's.


Hermione Granger:
What? No! Harry, you've got to go speak to Slughorn! We have a plan.


Harry Potter:
I know, but I've got a really good feeling about Hagrid's. I feel like it's the place to be tonight. Do you know what I mean?


Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley:
No.


Harry Potter:
Trust me! I know what I'm doing, or Felix does.

[walks past two people]


Harry Potter:
Hi!

Lavender Brown:
[runs into the hospital wing, after Ron's been poisoned] Where is he? Where's my Won-Won? Has he been asking for me?

[sees Hermione sitting next to Ron's bed]


Lavender Brown:
What is she doing here?


Hermione Granger:
[stands] I might ask you the same question!


Lavender Brown:
I happen to be his girlfriend!


Hermione Granger:
Well, I happen to be his... friend.


Lavender Brown:
Friend? Don't make me laugh! You haven't spoken in weeks. I guess you want to make up with him now that's he's suddenly all interesting!


Hermione Granger:
He's been poisoned, you daft dimbo! And as a matter of fact, I've always found him interesting.

Severus Snape:
Has it ever crossed your brilliant mind that I don't want to do this anymore?


Albus Dumbledore:
Whether it has or it hasn't is irrelevant; you gave me your word.

Harry Potter:
What brings you here, sir?


Horace Slughorn:
[good-naturedly/drunkenly] Oh, the Three Broomsticks and I go way back! Farther back than I care to admit! Ho ho ho... Why I can remember when it was just ONE Broomstick!

[Slughorn chuckles and spills his drink all over the table, splashing Hermione; she jumps away]


Horace Slughorn:
Whoops! All hands on deck, there, Granger!

Albus Dumbledore:
Severus... please...


Severus Snape:
[Pointing his wand at Dumbledore] Avada Kedavra!

[Light shoots out of his wand, killing Dumbledore]

[Harry is reading a newspaper]


Waitress:
"Harry Potter." Who's Harry Potter?


Harry Potter:
Oh, no one. Bit of a tosser, really.

Mrs. Cole:
I must admit to some confusion receiving your letter, Professor Dumbledore. In all the years Tom's been here, he's never once had a family visitor. There have been... incidents with the other children. Nasty things.

[opens the door]


Mrs. Cole:
Tom? You have a visitor.


Albus Dumbledore:
How do you do, Tom?


Tom Riddle - Age 11:
[without turning around] Go.

[cut to a short time later, as Dumbledore sits opposite Tom]


Tom Riddle - Age 11:
You're the doctor, aren't you?


Albus Dumbledore:
No, I'm a professor.


Tom Riddle - Age 11:
I don't believe you. She wants me looked at. They think I'm... different.


Albus Dumbledore:
Well, perhaps they're right.


Tom Riddle - Age 11:
I'm not mad.


Albus Dumbledore:
Hogwarts is not a place for mad people. Hogwarts is a school. A school of magic. You can do things can't you, Tom? That other children can't.


Tom Riddle - Age 11:
I can make things move without touching them. I can make animals do what I want without training them. I can make bad things happen to people who are mean to me. I can make them hurt, if I want... Who are you?


Albus Dumbledore:
Well, I'm like you, Tom. I'm different.


Tom Riddle - Age 11:
Prove it.

[Dumbledore turns and looks at the wardrobe, which bursts into flames. Something rattles on the inside]


Albus Dumbledore:
I think there's something in the wardrobe trying to get out, Tom.

[Tom opens the wardrobe, and dumps out the contents]


Albus Dumbledore:
Thievery is not tolerated at Hogwarts, Tom. At Hogwarts you will be taught not only how to use magic, but how to control it. Do you understand me?

[Dumbledore starts to leave]


Tom Riddle - Age 11:
I can speak to snakes, too. They find me... whisper things.

[Dumbledore stops, looking surprised]


Tom Riddle - Age 11:
Is that normal, for someone like me?
