Hogwarts Express
“Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville’s lost one.”
“Oh, are you doing magic? Let’s see then.”
“Are you sure that’s a real spell? Well, it is not very good, is it? I’ve only tried a few simple ones myself… but they’ve all worked for me. For example: Oculus Reparo. That’s better, isn’t it? Holy cricket, you’re Harry Potter! I’m Hermione Granger. And, you are…?”
“Pleasure. You two better change into robes. I expect we’ll be arriving soon. You’ve got dirt on your nose did you know? Just there.”

Sorting hat
“The ceiling isn’t real. It’s bewitched to look like the night sky. I read about it in ‘Hogwarts: A history’.”
“Oh no, okay, relax.”
“‘Nearly’ headless? How can you be ‘nearly’ headless?”

First flying lesson
“Up! Up! Up! Up!”
“Harry, no way! You heard what Madam Hooch said. Besides, you don’t even know how to fly! What an idiot.”

Meeting Fluffy
“The staircases change, remember?”
“We’re not supposed to be here, this is the third floor. It’s forbidden.”
“It’s Filch’s cat!”
“Oh move over! Alohomora! Get in.”
“‘Standard Book of Spells’, chapter 7.”
“Filch is gone.”
“It was locked.”
“AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!”
“You don’t use your eyes, do you? Didn’t you see what it was standing on?”
“It was standing on a trap door. It wasn’t there by accident. It’s guarding something.”
“That’s right. Now, if you two don’t mind, I’m going to bed, before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed. Or worse, expelled!”

Charms – Wingardium Leviosa
“No, stop, stop, stop! You’re going to take someone’s eye out. Besides, you’re saying it wrong! It’s ‘leviosa’ not ‘leviosar’.”
“Wingardium Leviosa!”

The troll
“Help! Help!”
“Swish and flick.”
“Is it… dead?”
“It’s my fault, Professor McGonagall. I went looking for the troll. I read about them, and I thought I could handle it. But I was wrong. If Harry and Ron hadn’t come and found me, I would probably be dead.”

Nimbus 2000
“Ron’s right.You’ll need your strength today.”
“Blood?”
“But why would anyone go near that dog?”
“You’re saying -”
“Bit early for mail, isn’t it?”

The Quidditch match
“It’s Snape! He’s jinxing the broom!”
“Leave it to me!”
“Lacarnum Inflamarae.”

Nicholas Flamel
“That thing has a name?”
“Hogwarts teacher or not, I know a spell when I see one. I’ve read all about them. You’ve got to keep eye contact, and Snape wasn’t blinking!”
“I don’t know.”

Christmas
“That’s totally barbaric!”
“I see you haven’t.”
“Good. You can help Harry then. He’s going to the library to look up Nicholas Flamel.”
“Not in the restricted section. Happy Christmas.”

“Only known maker of the Philosopher’s Stone!”
“I had you looking in the wrong section! How could I be stupid?”
“I checked this out weeks ago for a bit of light reading.”
“Of course! Here it is! Nicholas Flamel is the only known maker of the Philosopher’s Stone!”
“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.’”
“It means you’ll never die.”
“‘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!”

Spells, enchantments
“There are other things defending the Stone, aren’t there? Spells, enchantments.”
“Is that… a dragon?”

The forbidden forest
“That’s good, isn’t it? He’s with his own kind.”
“Harry!”

“As long Dumbledore is around, you can’t be touched.”
“You mean, You-Know-Who’s out there, right now, in the Forest?”
“Hang on a minute. We’re forgetting one thing. Who’s the one wizard Voldemort always feared? Dumbledore. As long Dumbledore is around, Harry, you’re safe. As long Dumbledore is around, you can’t be touched.”

“Why didn’t I see it before?”
“I’d heard Hogwarts’ end year exams were frightful, but I found that rather enjoyable.”
“It’s happened before.”
“What is it?”

“We’re going to the trap door. Tonight.”
“And with Dumbledore gone -”
“Er… w-w-we were just -”
“Now what we do?”

Petrificus Totalus / Fluffy’s Harp
“Neville, I’m really, really sorry about this. Petrificus Totalus!”
“Sorry.”
“Ow! You stood on my foot!”
“Alohomora.”
“The harp. It’s stopped playing.”

Devil’s Snare
“Stop moving, both of you. This is Devil’s Snare. You have to relax. If you don’t, it will only kill you faster.”
“Just relax!”
“Do what I say! Trust me!”
“Are you okay?”
“He’s not relaxing, is he?”
“We’ve gotta do something!”
“I remember reading something in Herbology. Devil’s Snare, Devil’s Snare, it’s deadly fun… but with sulk in the sun! That’s it! Devil’s Snare hates sunlight! Lumos Solem!”
“What is that?”

Flying keys
“Curious. I’ve never seen birds like these.”
“What’s this all about?”
“Ergh! What are we going to do? There must be a thousand keys!”
“What’s wrong?”

Chess game
“I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all.”
“Now what we do?”
“What happens now?”
“Ron, you don’t suppose this is going to be like… real wizard’s chess, do you?”
“What is it?”
“No, you can’t! There must be another way!”
“You’ll be okay, Harry. You’re a great wizard. You really are.”
“Me? Books and cleverness. There are more important things. Friendship and bravery. And, Harry, just be careful.”

Never better
“Never better.”

Final feast
“We tied with Slytherin!”

Going home
“Come on, Harry.”
“Feels strange to be going home, doesn’t it?”
