- Dumbledore: It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies, but a great deal more to stand up to your friends.
- Dumbledore: What happened down in the dungeon between you and Professor Quirrell is a complete secret. So, naturally, the whole school knows.
- Molly Weasley: [looks at Fred, hoping to get him onto platform 9 3/4] Fred, you next.
- George Weasley: He's not Fred, I am!
- Fred Weasley: Honestly, woman. You call yourself our mother.
- Molly Weasley: [to Fred] Oh, I'm sorry, George.
- Fred Weasley: [approaches the barrier] I'm only joking, I am Fred!
- [runs through the barrier]
- Hermione Granger: Harry, no way! You *heard* what Madame Hooch said. Besides, you don't even know how to fly!
- [Harry ignores her and flies up]
- Hermione Granger: What an idiot.
- Mr. Ollivander: Curious... very curious...
- Harry: Sorry, but what's curious?
- Mr. Ollivander: I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mr. Potter. It so happens that the phoenix whose tailfeather resides in your wand gave another feather... just one other. It is curious that you should be destined for this wand when its brother gave you that scar.
- Harry: And who owned that wand?
- Mr. Ollivander: We do not speak his name! The wand chooses the wizard, Mr. Potter. It's not always clear why. But I think it is clear that we can expect great things from you. After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things. Terrible! Yes. But great.
- Professor Quirrel: Troll! In the dungeons!
- [looks sick]
- Professor Quirrel: Thought you ought to know.
- [faints and crumples onto the floor]
- Ron: [Harry and Ron arrive late to Transfiguration, relieved that Professor McGonagall isn't there yet] Whew, made it. Can you imagine the look on old McGonagall's face if we were late?
- [the cat sitting at the head of the class suddenly transforms into her]
- Ron: That was bloody brilliant!
- Professor McGonagall: Well, thank you for that assessment, Mr Weasley. Perhaps it would be more useful if I were to transfigure Mr Potter and yourself into a pocket watch? That way, one of you might be on time.
- Harry: We got lost.
- Professor McGonagall: Then perhaps a map? I trust you don't need one to find your seats.
- Professor Severus Snape: There will be no foolish wand-waving or silly incantations in this class. As such, I don't expect many of you to appreciate the subtle science and exact art that is potion-making. However, for those select few...
- [stares at Draco Malfoy]
- Professor Severus Snape: Who possess, the predisposition... I can teach you how to bewitch the mind and ensnare the senses. I can tell you how to bottle fame, brew glory, and even put a stopper in death.
- [notices Harry scribbling on his paper]
- Professor Severus Snape: Then again, maybe some of you have come to Hogwarts in possession of abilities so formidable that you feel confident enough to not pay attention!
- [steps over to Harry]
- Professor Severus Snape: Mister Potter. Our new celebrity.
- Hermione: [after Hermione and Harry sink in the Devil's Snare, Ron is still panicking] He's not relaxing, is he?
- Harry: Apparently not.
- Hermione: I've gotta do something!
- Harry: What?
- Hermione: Oh, I remember reading something in herbology... um...
- Ron: Hel-!
- Hermione: Devil's Snare, Devil's Snare..."It's deadly fun, but will sulk in the sun!" That's it! Devil's Snare hates sunlight! Lumos Solem!
- [she conjures a type of sunlight from her wand; Ron falls to the ground below]
- Harry: Ron, you okay?
- Ron: Yeah.
- Harry: Okay.
- Ron: [sigh] Lucky we didn't panic.
- Harry: Lucky Hermione pays attention in herbology.
- [during the final chess game; Harry looks around at the board]
- Harry: Wait a minute!
- Ron: You see it, don't you, Harry? Once I make my move, the Queen will take me. Then you're free to check the King.
- Harry: No. Ron, NO!
- Hermione: What is it?
- Harry: He's going to sacrifice himself.
- Hermione: No, you can't, there must be another way!
- Ron: Do you want to stop Snape from getting that stone or not?
- [Hermione looks stunned]
- Ron: Harry, it's you that has to go on, I *know* it. Not me, not Hermione, YOU.
- [Harry takes a deep breath and nods]
- Ron: [after a deep breath] Knight to H3.
- [Ron and his horse advance to the next square. Ron breathes deep]
- Ron: Check.
- [The white Queen turns, advances slowly upon him, then draws her sword and plunges it into his horse, throwing him violently to the ground]
- Harry: RON!
- [Hermione makes as if to run to him]
- Harry: [to Hermione] NO! DON'T MOVE! Don't forget - we're still playing.
- [Harry moves three squares diagonally to his left and turns to face the King]
- Harry: CHECKMATE.
- Neville Longbottom: [about his new Remembrall] Only problem is, I can't remember what I've forgotten.
- Albus Dumbledore: Harry, do you know why... Professor Quirrell couldn't bear to have you touch him?
- [Harry shakes his head]
- Albus Dumbledore: It was because of your mother. She sacrificed herself for you, and that kind of act leaves a mark.
- [Harry reaches up to touch his scar]
- Albus Dumbledore: No, no. This kind of mark cannot be seen. It lives... in your very skin.
- Harry Potter: What is it?
- Albus Dumbledore: Love, Harry. Love.
- Oliver Wood: Scared, Harry?
- Harry: A little.
- Oliver Wood: That's all right. I felt the same way before my first game.
- Harry: What happened?
- Oliver Wood: I, uh, I don't really remember. I took a bludger to the head two minutes in. Woke up in hospital a week later.
- Draco Malfoy: You'll soon find out that some wizarding families are better than others, Potter. You don't wanna go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there.
- [he holds out his hand, which Harry doesn't take]
- Harry: I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks.
- Sorting Hat: Hmm, difficult. VERY difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind, either. There's talent, oh yes. And a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you?
- Harry: Not Slytherin. Not Slytherin.
- Sorting Hat: Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know. It's all here in your head. And Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness, there's no doubt about that. No?
- Harry: Please, please. Anything but Slytherin, anything but Slytherin.
- Sorting Hat: Well if you're sure, better be... GRYFFINDOR!
- Professor McGonagall: Nothing, I repeat, nothing gives a student the right to walk about the school at night. Therefore, as punishment for your actions, 50 points will be taken.
- Harry: 50?
- [Ron and Hermione also looking shocked, Draco smirking]
- Professor McGonagall: Each.
- [Harry's mouth drops open]
- Professor McGonagall: And to ensure it doesn't happen again, all four of you will receive detention.
- Draco Malfoy: [smirk suddenly fades and steps up] Excuse me, professor, perhaps I heard you wrong. I thought you said the four of us.
- Professor McGonagall: No, you heard me correctly, Mr. Malfoy. You see, honorable as your intentions were, you too were out of bed after hours. You will join your classmates in detention.
- Dumbledore: Only a person who wanted to find the Stone - find it, but not use it - would be able to get it. That is one of my more brilliant ideas. And between you and me, that is saying something.
- [after catching Harry scribbling on his paper]
- Professor Severus Snape: Tell me, what would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?
- [Harry doesn't answer]
- Professor Severus Snape: You don't know? Well, let's try again. Where, Mr. Potter, would you look if I asked you to find me a bezoar?
- Harry: I don't know, sir.
- Professor Severus Snape: And what is the difference between monkshood and wolfsbane?
- Harry: I don't know, sir.
- Professor Severus Snape: Pity. Clearly, fame isn't everything, is it, Mr. Potter?
- Professor McGonagall: [to Harry and Ron after beating the Mountain Troll] Five points... will be awarded to each of you.
- [Ron and Harry smile at each other]
- Professor McGonagall: For sheer dumb luck.
- Professor Severus Snape: What would three young Gryffindors such as yourselves be doing inside... on a day like this?
- Hermione: Uh... well... we... we were just...
- Professor Severus Snape: You ought to be careful. People will think you're...
- [sees Harry staring at him]
- Professor Severus Snape: Up to something.
- Hagrid: You all right there, Harry? You seem very quiet.
- Harry: He killed my parents, didn't he?
- [puts a hand to his scar]
- Harry: The one who gave me this?
- [Hagrid is silent]
- Harry: You know, Hagrid. I know you do.
- [Hagrid sighs and pushes his bowl aside]
- Hagrid: First - and understand this, Harry, 'cause it's very important - not all wizards are good. Some of them go bad. A few years ago there was one wizard that went as bad as you can go, and his name was V-
- [sighs]
- Hagrid: his name was V...
- Harry: Maybe if you wrote it down...
- Hagrid: Nah, I can't spell it. Alright
- [whispers]
- Hagrid: 'Voldemort'
- Harry: [loudly] Voldemort?
- Hagrid: Shhh! It was dark times, Harry, dark times. Voldemort started to gather some followers, brought 'em over to the dark side. Anyone who stood up to him ended up dead. Your parents fought against him, but nobody lived once he decided to kill them. Nobody... not one... 'cept you.
- Harry: Me? Voldemort tried to kill... ME?
- Hagrid: Yes. That ain't no ordinary cut on your forehead. A mark like that only comes from being touched by a curse, and an evil curse at that.
- Harry: What happened to Vol- to You-Know-Who?
- Hagrid: Well, some say he died. Codswallop in my opinion. Nope, I reckon he's still out there, too tired to carry on. But one thing's certain, something about you stumped him that night. That's why you're famous, Harry, that's why everybody knows your name. You're the boy who lived.
- Uncle Vernon: He will not be going, I tell you! We swore when we took him in we'd put a stop to all this rubbish!
- Harry: You knew? You knew all along and you never told me?
- Aunt Petunia: Of course we knew. How could you not be? My perfect sister being who she was. My mother and father were so proud the day she got her letter. "We have a witch in the family. Isn't it wonderful?" I was the only one to see her for what she was... a freak! And then she met that Potter. And then she had you, and I knew you would be the same. Just as strange, just as... abnormal. And then if you please, she went and got herself blown up, and we got landed with you.
- Harry: Blown up? You told me my parents died in a car crash!
- Hagrid: A car crash? A car crash kill Lily and James Potter?
- Aunt Petunia: We had to say something.
- Hagrid: It's an outrage! It's a scandal!
- Uncle Vernon: He'll not be going!
- Hagrid: Oh, and I suppose a great muggle like yourself's gonna stop him, are ya?
- Fred Weasley: Well done, Harry. Wood's just told us.
- Ron: Fred and George are on the team, too. Beaters.
- George Weasley: Our job is to make sure that you don't get bloodied up too bad. Can't make any promises, of course. Rough game, Quidditch.
- Fred Weasley: Brutal, but no one's died in years. Someone will vanish occasionally, but they'll turn up in a month or two!
- Hermione: Ron, you don't suppose this is going to be like... *real* wizard's chess, do you?
- Ron: [looks around] You there, D5!
- [one of the giant black pawns crosses the board, the white pawn smashes it with a violent blow]
- Ron: [swallows] Yes, Hermione, I think this is gonna be *exactly* like wizard's chess.
- Hermione: Look at you playing with your cards. Pathetic! We've got final exams coming up soon.
- Ron: I'm ready! Ask me any question.
- Hermione: All right, what are the three most crucial ingredients in a Forgetfulness Potion?
- Ron: I forgot.
- Hermione: And what, may I ask, do you plan to do if this comes up in the final exam?
- Ron: Copy off you?
- Hermione: No, you won't! Besides, according to Professor McGonagall, we're to be given special quills bewitched with an anti-cheating spell.
- [deleted scene]
- Professor Severus Snape: For your information Potter, Asphodel and Wormwood make a sleeping potion so powerful it is known as the Draught of the Living Death, a Bezoar is a stone taken from the stomach of a goat and it will save you from most poisons. As for Monkshood and Wolfbane, they are the same plant which also goes by the name of Aconite. Well, why aren't you all copying this down?
- Minerva McGonagall: Albus, do you really think it safe, leaving him with these people? I've watched them all day. They're the worst sort of Muggles imaginable. They really are...
- Albus Dumbledore: The only family he has.
- Minerva McGonagall: This boy will be famous. There won't be a child in our world who doesn't know his name.
- Albus Dumbledore: Exactly. He's far better off growing up away from all of that... until he is ready.
- [deleted scene]
- Ron: [Neville comes hopping in, his legs apparently stuck together] Leg-Locker Curse?
- Harry: Malfoy.
- Ron: You have *got* to start standing up to people, Neville.
- Neville Longbottom: [wobbling uncontrollably] How? I can barely stand at all!
- Seamus Finnigan: [jumping up, wand at the ready] I'll do the counter-curse!
- Neville Longbottom: No, that's all I need... you to set my bloody kneecaps on fire!
- Seamus Finnigan: [slamming his wand down] I don't appreciate the insinuation, Longbottom. Besides, if anyone cares to notice, my eyebrows have completely grown back!
- [stalks off angrily, showing a large chunk of hair missing from the back of his head]
- Harry: I found him!
- [hands Ron a Chocolate Frog card of Dumbledore]
- Ron: 'Dumbledore is particularly famous for his defeat of the Dark Wizard Grindelwald in 1945-'
- Harry: Go on.
- Ron: '-for his discovery of the 12 uses of Dragon Blood, and his work on alchemy with his partner Nicolas Flamel!'
- Harry: I knew the name sounded familiar, I read it on the train that day.
- Hermione: [Beaming excitedly] Follow me!
- [the Trio tears out of the Great Hall, leaving poor Neville still flailing around]
- Neville Longbottom: Hey, wait, where are you going? What about the counter-curse?
- [Before he can say another word he topples over backwards, sparking a fresh round of laughter from the other students]
- Albus Dumbledore: Ah! Bertie Bott's Every Flavour Beans! I was most unfortunate in my youth to come across a vomit-flavoured one, and since then I'm afraid I've lost my liking for them. But I think... I could be safe with a nice toffee.
- [eats it]
- Albus Dumbledore: Mmm, alas. Ear wax.
- Rubeus Hagrid: Nonsense! Why would Snape put a curse on Harry's broom?
- Harry Potter: Who knows? Why was he trying to get past that three-headed dog on Halloween?
- Rubeus Hagrid: Who told you about Fluffy?
- Ron Weasley: Fluffy?
- Hermione Granger: That thing has a name?
