Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince 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. If I had...

[he lets the sentence hang]

[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!

Harry Potter: [after looking at Slughorn's memory of Tom Riddle in the Pensieve, sees Dumbledore] Sir...

[Dumbledore holds his hand out then slows turns away and sits on the step with shock in his face]

Albus Dumbledore: This is beyond anything I imagined.

Harry Potter: You mean to say he succeeded, sir, in making a Horcrux?

Albus Dumbledore: Oh, yes, he succeeded, all right, and not just once.

Harry Potter: What are they, exactly?

Albus Dumbledore: Could be anything. Most commonplace in objects.

[Dumbledore goes to his desk and pulls out a couple objects]

Albus Dumbledore: A ring, for example, or a book.

Harry Potter: [recognizes it] Tom Riddle's diary.

Albus Dumbledore: It's a Horcrux, yes. Four years ago, when you saved Ginny Weasley's life in the Chamber of Secrets, you brought me this. I knew then this was a different kind of magic; very dark, very powerful. But until tonight, I had no idea just how powerful.

Harry Potter: And the ring?

Albus Dumbledore: Belonged to Voldemort's mother. Difficult to find--even more difficult to destroy.

[shows Harry his own blackened hand]

Harry Potter: But if you could find them all, if you did destroy each Horcrux...

Albus Dumbledore: One destroys Voldemort.

Harry Potter: But how would you find them? They could be hidden anywhere.

Albus Dumbledore: True, but magic, especially dark magic...

[Harry touches the ring, which spins quickly by itself until it stops]

Albus Dumbledore: ...leaves traces.

Harry Potter: [after a long pause] It's where you've been going, isn't it, sir? When you leave the school?

Harry Potter: Yes. And I think perhaps I may have found another. But this time, I cannot hope to destroy it alone. Once again... I ask too much of you, Harry.

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

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

[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.

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!

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.

[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, then?

Harry Potter: [alarmed] What?

Ron Weasley: You know, hide the book?

Harry Potter: Oh... yeah.

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.

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.

Cormac McLaggen: [eats one ting of Dragon Tartare, curiously] What is this I'm eating, by the way?

Harry Potter: Dragon balls.

[Cormac looks at Harry with dread on his face just as Snape finds him and Harry, Cormac then vomits all over Snape's shoes]

Severus Snape: [after a pause] You've just brought yourself a month's detention, McLaggen.

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.

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!

Professor Minerva McGonagall: [to Harry, Ron, & Hermione] Why is it, when something happens, it is always you three?

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

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 in order.

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.

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!

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.

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

Harry Potter: I don't sleep with it!

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.

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.

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

Harry Potter: Through the front door sir.

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, years ago I knew a boy who made all the wrong choices. Please let me help you!

Draco Malfoy: [crying] I don't need your help! Don't you understand? 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, I'm fine, thank you.

[Harry shakes his head]

Waiter: Just as well. They give one horribly bad breath.

Hermione Granger: On second thoughts...

[grabs the tray and gobbles one]

Hermione Granger: Maybe it'll keep Cormac 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 upholstry.

[pats his stomach]

Horace Slughorn: I come about the stuffing naturally.

[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.

[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 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?

[Harry persuades Slughorn to hand over his true memory]

Horace Slughorn: Please don't think badly of me when you see it. You have no idea what he was like... even back then.

Harry Potter: I'm not coming back Hermione. I've got to finish whatever Dumbledore started, and I don't know where that'll lead me, but I'll let you and Ron know where I am when I can.

Hermione Granger: I've always admired your courage Harry, but sometimes you can be really thick. You don't really think you're going to be able to find all those horcruxes by yourself do you? You need us Harry.

Ron Weasley: [he puts his arms around Professor Slughorn thinking he is Romilda Vane] Hello darling fancy a drink?

Horace Slughorn: Perhaps you're right Harry.

Harry Potter: [Harry knocks on the door of Professor Slughorn's room] I'm sorry, sir. I wouldn't bother you if it weren't essential.

Ron Weasley: Where's Romilda?

Horace Slughorn: What's the matter with Wenby?

Harry Potter: [Whispers] Very powerful love potion.

Horace Slughorn: Very well. Better bring him in. I'd have thought you could have whipped up a remedy for this in no time, Harry.

Harry Potter: I'd have thought that this called for a more practised hand, sir.

Ron Weasley: [Ron wraps his arms around Professor Slughorn and looks at him romantically] Hello Darling. Fancy a drink?

Horace Slughorn: Perhaps you're right.

Draco Malfoy: Didn't mummy ever tell you it was rude to eavesdrop, Potter? Petrificus totalus! Oh yeah. She was dead before you could wipe the drool off your chin.

[Stomps on Harry's nose]

Draco Malfoy: That was for my father. Enjoy your ride back to London.

[Covers Harry up with the invisibility cloak and then leaves]

Albus Dumbledore: [as Draco tries to muster the nerve to kill him] Draco... you are no assassin.

Draco Malfoy: [fearfully] How do you know what I am! I've done things that would shock you!

Albus Dumbledore: [knowingly] Like cursing Katie Bell and hoping that in return she'd bear a cursed necklace to me? Like replacing a bottle of mead with one laced with poison? Forgive me, Draco, I cannot help feeling these actions are so weak that your heart can't really have been in them.

Draco Malfoy: He trusts me! I was chosen!

[Draco exposes his newly Dark Mark tattoo on his left arm to Dumbledore]

Albus Dumbledore: [pulls out his wand] Then I shall make it easy for you.

Draco Malfoy: EXPELLIARMUS!

[Dumbledore's wand flies out of his hand]

Albus Dumbledore: [calmly] Very good, very good.

Ron Weasley: [from trailer] I'm in love with her!

Harry Potter: All right, fine, you're in love with her! You haven't even met her!

Ron Weasley: Could you introduce me?

Hermione Granger: [from trailer]

[Harry and Romilda Vane are staring at each other. Hermione snaps her fingers at Harry]

Hermione Granger: Hey! She only interests you because she thinks you're the Chosen One!

Harry Potter: But I am the Chosen One.

[Hermione slaps him with the newspaper]

Harry Potter: Okay, sorry... kidding.

Albus Dumbledore: [from trailer]

[to Harry]

Albus Dumbledore: What you are looking at are memories. In this case containing to one individual.

[takes a memory out]

Albus Dumbledore: This is perhaps the most important memory I've collected. I'd like you to see it.

Horace Slughorn: [from trailer]

[to class]

Horace Slughorn: What you see here before you is a curious little potion. It does cause infatuation or obsession.

Albus Dumbledore: [from trailer]

[to Harry]

Albus Dumbledore: What you are looking at are memories. This is perhaps the most important memory I've collected. It is also a lie.

Tom Riddle - Age 11: [from trailer] Are you here to adopt me?

Albus Dumbledore: No.

Tom Riddle - Age 11: Who are you?

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

Tom Riddle - Age 11: Prove it.

[Dumbledore conjures a fire]

Harry Potter: [from trailer] Did you know, sir? There?

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

Ron Weasley: [looking out of the window] It's beautiful, isn't it? The moon?

Harry Potter: [questionably] Divine.

[turns to see the Chocolate Cauldrons are gone]

Harry Potter: Had ourselves a little midnight snack, have we?

Ron Weasley: [turns to face Harry] 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: [curls up beside Harry on a bed] She could never annoy me! I think I love her.

Harry Potter: [stares at Ron] Um, brilliant...

[walks over and sits on the other bed]

Ron Weasley: Do you think she knows I exist?

Albus Dumbledore: [to Harry] What you are looking at are memories. In this case containing to one individual. Voldemort. Or as he was known then, Tom Riddle.

[takes a memory]

Albus Dumbledore: This file contains the most particular memory. The day I first met him. I'd like you to see it. If you want.

[Harry takes the memory, poors its contents into the Pensieve, puts his head in the Pensieve, and watches Mrs. Cole leading a younger Dumbledore to Tom Riddle]

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

[knocks on Tom Riddle's door and opens it]

Mrs. Cole: Tom, you have a visitor.

Albus Dumbledore: How do you do, Tom?

Tom Riddle - Age 11: Go.

[Dumbledore seats himself]

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.

[a puzzled expression comes across Riddle's face]

Albus Dumbledore: You can do things, can't you, Tom? Things to the children, Tom.

Tom Riddle - Age 11: I can make things move without touching them. I can make animals do what I want without touching 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: I'm like you, Tom. I'm different.

Tom Riddle - Age 11: Prove it.

[Dumbledore conjures a fire in the wardrobe]

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

[Riddle opens the burning wardrobe and finds a small box rattling, while the flames disappear]

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

[leaves]

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

[Dumbledore turns around]

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

[Dumbledore looks at Riddle and Harry suddenly takes his head out of the Pensieve]

Harry Potter: [every Quidditch player except Ginny and Ron is talking] Okay, so I'm going to be putting you all through a few drills just to assess you straight.

[everyone is still talking]

Harry Potter: Quiet, please!

[everyone is still talking]

Ginny Weasley: Shut it!

Harry Potter: Thanks. Alright, um, now then, remember just because you made the team last year, that doesn't guarantee you a spot this year, is that clear?

[everyone is silent]

Harry Potter: Good.

[everyone talks again]

Cormac McLaggen: [steps out of the crowd and nudges Ron aside] No hard feelings, Weasley, alright?

Ron Weasley: What do you mean?

Cormac McLaggen: I'll be trying out for Keeper as well. It's nothing personal.

Ron Weasley: Really? Strapping guy like you. You've got more of a Beater's build, don't you think? Keeper's need to be quick, agile.

[McLaggen suddenly catches a fly]

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

[looks up at Hermione sitting in the stadium and punches Ron on the shoulder]

Ron Weasley: Hermione has nice skin.

Harry Potter: Oh, yes. Very nice.

[repeated line]

Severus Snape: I will.

Ron Weasley: What do you think Dean sees in her?

Harry Potter: Well, she's funny, smart, attractive.

Ron Weasley: Attractive?

Harry Potter: She has nice... skin.

Ron Weasley: Skin? You're saying he's dating my sister because she has nice skin?

[leaving the Weasley Twins' thriving joke shop]

Hermione Granger: How are Fred and George doing it? Half the Alley's closed down.

Ron Weasley: Fred reckons people need a laugh these days.

Harry Potter: I reckon he's right.

[after Hermione explains the properties of a love potion]

Horace Slughorn: Now, Amortentia doesn't create actual love, that would be impossible. But it does cause powerful infatuation or obsession, and for that reason... it is probably the most dangerous potion in this room.

[Sure enough, all the witches in the room have been drifting towards the cauldron, staring into the steam, until Slughorn puts the lid on, and they snap back to themselves. Or were they imagining all the things they could do with it if they had it]

Horace Slughorn: Some of your classmates... well, let's just say they're unlikely to make the shelf.

Harry Potter: Shelf, sir?

[Slughorn points to a wall of portraits of past "Slug Club" members]

Horace Slughorn: Anyone who aspires to be anyone ends up here. But then again, you already are someone, aren't you, Harry?

Harry Potter: Did Voldemort ever make the shelf, sir?

[Slughorn freezes]

Harry Potter: You knew him, didn't you, sir? Tom Riddle? You were his teacher.

Horace Slughorn: Mr. Riddle had a number of teachers whilst he was here at Hogwarts.

Harry Potter: What was he like?

[no response]

Harry Potter: I'm sorry, sir. Forgive me. He killed my parents.

Horace Slughorn: I... of course, it's only natural you should want to know more. But I'm afraid I must disappoint you, Harry. When I first met young Mr. Riddle, he was a quiet, albeit brilliant boy committed to becoming a first-rate wizard. Not unlike others I've known. Not unlike yourself, in fact. If the monster existed, it was buried deep within.

[Lavender glares across to Ron, clasping her spoon, Ron goes silently nervous as a flurry appears over him]

Hermione Granger: [whispers patiently] Stop it, Ron. You're making it snow.

[Ron stops as Harry brushes the snow off the table]

Ron Weasley: Tell me how I broke up with Lavander again.

Hermione Granger: [nervously] Um, well... She came to visit you in the hospital. And you talked. I don't believe it was a particularly long conversation.

Ron Weasley: Don't get me wrong, I'm bloody thrilled to be shot of her. It's just... she seems a bit put out.

[Harry, Ron and Hermione turn to Lavender, who sits up straight and still glaring and clasping at her spoon]

Hermione Granger: Yes, um, she does, doesn't she?

[Draco runs to the girls' lavatory to the sinks and splashes water all over his faces and starts crying in shame and fear]

Harry Potter: [watches him, about Katie Bell] I know what you did, Malfoy! You hexed her, didn't you?

[Draco shudders then angrily attacks, Harry dodges and attacks back destroying a sink, Draco attacks again as Harry hides, he crawls under as Draco attacks him until]

Harry Potter: SECTUMSEMPRA!

[Harry hits Draco then slowly walks to the flooded bathroom floor and sees to his horror that the spell he learned has seriously injured Draco as he bleeds profusely and cries in pain, Snape rushes in and sees this before looking at Harry, who then runs off, Snape kneels down to heal Draco reverting his blood back and cleaning him]

Severus Snape: [chanting] Vulnera Sanentur... Vulnera Sanentur... Vulnera Sanentur...

[next scene shows Harry looking at the Half-Blood Prince's book with Ron, Hermione and Ginny in silence]

Ginny Weasley: [sits next to Harry] You have to get rid of it. Today.
