Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Page #5

Synopsis: This 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.

What that dog is guarding is|between Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel.

Nicholas Flamel?

I shouldn't have said that.|I should not have said that.

Nicholas Flamel.|Who's Nicholas Flamel?

I don't know.

Merry Christmas

Ring the Hogwart bell

Merry Christmas

Cast a Christmas spell

Knight to e5.

Queen to e5.

That's totally barbaric!

That's wizard's chess.|I see you've packed.

I see you haven't.

Change of plans. My parents went|to Romania to visit my brother Charlie.

- He's studying dragons there.|- Good. You can help Harry.

He's going to the library|to look up Nicholas Flamel.

We've looked a hundred times!

Not in the restricted section.|Happy Christmas.

I think we've had|a bad influence on her.

Harry, wake up!|Come on, Harry, wake up!

- Happy Christmas, Harry.|- Happy Christmas, Ron.

What are you wearing?

Oh, my mum made it.|Looks like you've got one too.

- I've got presents?|- Yeah.

There they are.

"Your father left this|in my possession before he died.

It is time it was returned to you.|Use it well."

- What is it?|- Some kind of cloak.

Well, let's see, then. Put it on.

My body's gone!

I know what that is.|That's an invisibility cloak!

I'm invisible?

They're really rare.|I wonder who gave it to you.

There was no name.|It just said, "Use it well".

Fifteenth-Century Fiends.

Flamel. Nicholas Flamel.|Where are you?

Who's there?

I know you're in there.|You can't hide.

Who is it? Show yourself.

Severus, I...

You don't want me|as your enemy, Quirrell.

- I don't know what you mean.|- You know perfectly well what I mean.

We'll have another little chat soon.

When you've had time to decide|where your loyalties lie.

Professors. I found this|in the restricted section.

It's still hot. That means|there's a student out of bed.

Mum?

Dad?

Ron, you've really gotta see this!|Ron, you've gotta see this!

Ron, come on, get out of bed!

- Why?|- There's something you've got to see!

Come on! Come!|Come look, it's my parents!

I only see us.

Look in properly.|Go on, stand there.

- There. You see them, don't you?|- That's me! Only I'm head boy.

And I'm holding the Quidditch Cup.

And bloody hell!|I'm Quidditch captain too!

I look good.

Harry, do you think this mirror|shows the future?

How can it?|Both my parents are dead.

Back again, Harry?

I see that you,|like many before you...

...have discovered the delights|of the Mirror of Erised.

I trust by now|you realize what it does.

Let me give you a clue.

The happiest man on earth...

...would look in the mirror|and see only himself...

...exactly as he is.

So then, it shows us what we want.|Whatever we want.

Yes. And no.

It shows us nothing more or less...

...than the deepest and most desperate|desires of our hearts.

Now you, Harry, who have|never known your family...

...you see them standing beside you.

But remember this, Harry.

This mirror gives us|neither knowledge...

...or truth.

Men have wasted away in front of it.|Even gone mad.

That is why tomorrow|it will be moved to a new home.

And I must ask you...

...not to go looking for it again.

It does not do to dwell on dreams...

...and forget to live.

I had you looking in the wrong section.|How could I be so stupid?

I checked this out weeks ago|for a bit of light reading.

This is light?

Of course! Here it is!

Nicholas Flamel is the only known|maker of the Philosopher's Stone.

The what?

Honestly, don't you two read?

"The Philosopher's Stone is a legendary|substance with astonishing powers."

"It'll transform any metal|into pure gold...

...and produces the Elixir of Life|which will make the drinker immortal."

- Immortal?|- It means you'll never die.

I know what it means!

"The only Stone currently in existence|belongs to Mr. Nicholas Flamel...

...the noted alchemist who last year|celebrated his 665th birthday."

That's what Fluffy's guarding.

That's what's under the trap door.|The Philosopher's Stone.

Don't wish to be rude,|but I'm in no state to entertain.

We know about the Philosopher's Stone.

- We think Snape's trying to steal it.|- Are you still on about him?

We know he's after it.|We don't know why.

Snape is one of the teachers|protecting the Stone. He won't steal it.

What?

You heard. Come on,|I'm a bit preoccupied today.

Wait a minute.|"One of the teachers?"

There are other things|defending the Stone, aren't there?

- Spells, enchantments.|- Right.

Waste of bloody time, if you ask me.

Ain't no one gonna get past Fluffy.

Ain't a soul knows how,|except for me and Dumbledore.

I shouldn't have told you that.|I should not have told you that.

- Hagrid, what exactly is that?|- That? It's...

I know what that is!

But, Hagrid, how did you get one?

I won it. Off a stranger|I met down at the pub.

Seemed quite glad to be rid of it,|as a matter of fact.

Is that...

...a dragon?

That's not just a dragon.|That's a Norwegian Ridgeback.

My brother works|with these in Romania.

Isn't he beautiful? Oh, bless him.|Look, he knows his mummy.

Hello, Norbert.

- Norbert?|- He's gotta have a name, don't he?

Don't you, Norbert?

He'll have to be trained up a bit,|of course.

Who's that?

Malfoy.

Oh, dear.

Hagrid always wanted a dragon.|Told me so the first time I met him.

It's crazy.|And worse, Malfoy knows.

- I don't understand. Is that bad?|- It's bad.

Good evening.

Nothing, I repeat, nothing...

...gives a student the right|to walk about at night.

Therefore, as punishment for your actions,|50 points will be taken.

- 50?!|- Each.

To ensure it doesn't happen again...

...all four of you|will receive detention.

Excuse me, professor,|perhaps I heard you wrong.

I thought you said the four of us.

No, you heard me correctly.

Honorable as your intentions were,|you too were out of bed after hours.

You will join your classmates|in detention.

A pity they let|the old punishments die.

Was a time detention found you|hanging by your thumbs in the dungeons.

God, I miss the screaming.

You'll be serving detention|with Hagrid tonight.

He's got a little job to do|inside the Dark Forest.

A sorry lot, this, Hagrid.

Good God, you're not still on|about that bloody dragon, are you?

Norbert's gone.

Dumbledore sent him off to Romania|to live in a colony.

That's good, isn't it?|He's with his own kind.

What if he don't like Romania?

What if the other dragons are mean|to him? He's only a baby.

For God's sake, pull yourself together.|You're going into the Forest.

Got to have your wits about you.

The Forest? I thought that was a joke.|We can't go in there.

Students aren't allowed.|And there are...

...werewolves.

There's more than werewolves|in those trees.

You can be sure of that.

Nighty-night.

Right. Let's go.

Hagrid, what is that?

What we're here for.|See that?

That's unicorn blood, that is.|I found one dead a few weeks ago.

Now, this one's been hurt bad|by something.

So, it's our job to go|and find the poor beast.

Ron, Hermione, come with me.

And, Harry, you'll go with Malfoy.
