Ron : Why spiders? Why couldn't it be "follow the butterflies"?
-
Gilderoy Lockhart : [they find the Basilisk skin] What's this?
Gilderoy Lockhart : It looks like a... snake.
Harry : It's a snake *skin*.
Ron : Bloody hell. Whatever shed this must be 60 feet long, or *more*.
Ron : [Lockhart passes out]
[to Harry, sarcastically]
Ron : Heart of a lion, this one.
Gilderoy Lockhart : [to Harry and Ron after grabbing Ron's wand] The adventure ends here, boys. But don't fret. The world will know our story. How I was too late to save the girl. How you two tragically lost your minds at the sight of her mangled body.
[points wand to Harry]
Gilderoy Lockhart : So... you first, Mr. Potter. Say goodbye to your memories. Obliviate!
[he gets pulled backwards and thrown hit into a rock wall knocking him out which causes loose rocks to fall and block the path between Ron and Harry]
Ron : Harry!
Harry : Ron! Are you okay?
Ron : I'm fine.
Gilderoy Lockhart : Hello. Who are you?
Ron : Um... Ron Weasley.
Gilderoy Lockhart : Really! And, uh, wh-who am I?
Ron : [to Harry] Lockhart's memory charm backfired! He hasn't got a clue who he is!
Gilderoy Lockhart : [he picks up a rock] It's an odd sort of place, this, isn't it? Do you live here?
Ron : No.
Gilderoy Lockhart : Really?
[Ron knocks Lockhart unconscious with the rock]
Ron : [to Harry who's on the other side of the rockslide] What do I do now?
Harry : You wait here and try and shift some of this rock so we can get back through. I'll go on and find Ginny.
Ron : Okay.
-
Hermione : Look, Hagrid's our friend, why don't we just go and ask him about it?
Ron : That would be a cheerful visit. "Hello Hagrid! Tell us, have you been setting anything mad and hairy loose in the castle lately?"
[Hagrid has walked up behind them]
Hagrid : Mad and hairy? You wouldn't be talkin' about me, now would ya?
-
Dumbledore : You both realize, of course, that in the past few hours you have broken perhaps a dozen school rules.
Dumbledore : And that there is sufficient evidence to have you both expelled.
Dumbledore : Therefore, it is only fitting that you both receive...
[beams]
Dumbledore : Special Awards for Services to the School.
-
Ron : They were starving him, Mum! There were bars on his window!
Molly Weasley : Well, you'd best hope I don't put bars on your window, Ronald Weasley!
-
Ginny : Mummy, have you seen my jumper?
Molly Weasley : Yes, dear, it was on the cat.
[sees Harry, a shocked look forms on her face]
Harry : Hello.
[Ginny runs off]
Harry : What did I do?
Ron : Ginny. She's been talking about you all summer. Bit annoying, really.
-
Ron : If it kills by looking people in the eye, why is it no one's dead?
Harry : Because no one did look it in the eye. Not directly, at least. Colin saw it through his camera. Justin... Justin must've seen the basilisk through Nearly Headless Nick. Nick got the full blast of it, but he's a ghost; he couldn't die again. And Hermione... had the mirror! I bet you anything she was using it to look around corners in case it came along.
Ron : And Mrs. Norris? I'm pretty sure she didn't have a camera or a mirror, Harry.
Harry : The water. There was water on the floor that night. She only saw the basilisk's reflection.

[deleted scene]
Fred Weasley : Look everyone, it's the heir of Slytherin!
George Weasley : Be careful! He's a seriously evil wizard.
Ron : Come on, Harry. Fred and George were just having a laugh.
Harry : They're the only ones.
Ron : Okay, so half the school thinks you're nipping off to the Chamber of Secrets every night. Who cares?
Harry : Maybe they're right.
Hermione : Harry! Harry? Oh, come on!
Harry : Look, I didn't know I could speak Parseltongue! What else don't I know about myself? Look. Maybe you can do something, even something horrible and not know you did it.
Hermione : You don't believe that, Harry. I know you don't. And if it makes you feel any better, Malfoy's staying for the holidays, too.
Ron : Why would that make anyone feel any better?
Hermione : Because, in a few days the Polyjuice Potion will be ready! In a few days, we may truly know who is the heir of Slytherin.
-
Hermione : Professor, I was wondering if you could tell us about the Chamber of Secrets.
Professor Minerva McGonagall : [seeing everyone's faces] Very well. Well, you all know, of course, that Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago, by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age. Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin. Now three of the founders co-existed quite harmoniously. One did not.
Ron : Three guesses who.
Professor Minerva McGonagall : Salazar Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed magical learning should be kept within all magic families. In other words, pure bloods. Unable to sway the others, he decided to leave the school. Now according to legend, Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in this castle, known as the Chamber of Secrets. Though shortly before departing, he sealed it until that time when his own true heir returned to the school. The heir alone would be able to open the chamber and unleash the horror within, and by so doing, purge the school of all those who, in Slytherin's view, were unworthy to study magic.
Hermione : Muggle-borns.
Professor Minerva McGonagall : Well naturally the school has been searched many times. No such chamber has been found.
-
Ron : Follow the spiders? Follow the spiders? If Hagrid ever gets out of Azkaban, I'll kill him!
[the flying car drives back into the woods by itself]
Ron : I mean, what was the point of sending us in there? What have we found out?
Harry : We know one thing. Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets. He was innocent.
-
Harry : You're Aragog, aren't you?
Aragog : Yes. Hagrid has never sent men into our hollow before.
Harry : He's in trouble. Up at the school there've been attacks. They think it's Hagrid. They think he opened the Chamber of Secrets, like before.
Aragog : That's a lie! Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets!
Harry : Then you're not the monster?
Aragog : No! The monster was born in the castle. I came to Hagrid from a distant land, in the pocket of a traveler.
Ron : [terrified] Harry.
Harry : Shush.
[to Aragog]
Harry : But, if you're not the monster, then-then what did kill that girl 50 years ago?
Aragog : We do not speak of it! It is an ancient creature we spiders fear above all others.
Harry : But have you seen it?
Aragog : I never saw any part of the castle but the box in which Hagrid kept me. The girl was discovered in a bathroom. When I was accused, Hagrid brought me here.
Ron : Harry!
Harry : What?
[Ron points at the spiders surrounding them]
Harry : Well... thank you. We'll just go.
Aragog : Go? I think not. My sons and daughters do not harm Hagrid on my command, but I cannot deny them fresh meat when it wanders so willingly into our midst. Goodbye, friend of Hagrid.
Ron : Can we panic now?
-
Ron : Where's Hermione when you need her?
-
Moaning Myrtle : Here I am, minding my own business, and someone thinks it's funny to throw a book at me.
Ron : But, it can't hurt if someone throws something at you. I mean, it would just go right through you.
Moaning Myrtle : [swooping down towards Ron] Sure! Let's all throw books at Myrtle, because she can't feel it! Ten points if you get it through her stomach!
[punches Ron in stomach]
Moaning Myrtle : Fifty points if it goes through her head!
[punches Ron in head]
-
Oliver Wood : I don't believe it! Where you think you're going, Flint?
Marcus Flint : Qudditch practice!
Oliver Wood : I booked the pitch for Gryffindor today.
Marcus Flint : Easy, Wood. I've got a note.
Ron : Uh-oh. I smell trouble.
Oliver Wood : "I, Professor Severus Snape do hereby give the Slytherin team permission to practice today, owing to the need to train their new Seeker." You've got a new seeker? Who?
[Malfoy steps out from behind the crowd]
Harry Potter : Malfoy?
Draco Malfoy : That's right. And that's not all that's new this year.
[shows everyone the new brooms]
Ron : Those are Nimbus Two-Thousand and Ones! How'd you get those?
Marcus Flint : A gift from Draco's father.
Draco Malfoy : You see, Weasley, unlike some, my father can afford the best.
Hermione Granger : At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy their way in. They got in on pure talent.
Draco Malfoy : No one asked your opinion, you filthy little Mudblood!
Ron : You'll pay for that one Malfoy! Eat slugs!
[Ron 's jinx backfires, hitting him in his chest and knocking him several feet backwards. The Gryffindor team and Hermione run to his side]
Hermione Granger : You okay, Ron? Say something!
[Ron opens his mouth and coughs up a huge slug and Colin Creevey begins snapping away with his camera]
Colin Creevey : Wow! Can you turn him around Harry?
Harry Potter : No Colin! Get out of the way!
[he and Hermione assist Ron up]
Harry Potter : Come on, let's take him to Hagrid's.
[Ron throws up another slug]
Harry Potter : He'll know what to do.
[he, Hermione, and Ron run off to Hagrid's as Ron continues to throw up slugs. Malfoy looks at them, then back at his teammates, laughing]
-
Ron : Do you think it's true? Do you think there really is a Chamber of Secrets?
Hermione : Yes. Couldn't you tell? McGonagall's worried. All the teachers are.
Harry : But if there really is a Chamber of Secrets, and it really has been opened, then that means...
Hermione : The heir of Slytherin has returned to Hogwarts. The question is; who is it?
Ron : [sarcastically] Let's think. Who do we know who thinks all muggle borns are scum?
Hermione : If you're talking about Malfoy...
Ron : Of course! You heard him. 'You'll be next mudbloods'.
Hermione : I heard him. But Malfoy, the heir of Slytherin?
-
Hermione : It's a bit strange, isn't it?
Harry : Strange?
Hermione : You hear this voice, a voice only you can hear, and then Mrs. Norris turns up petrified? It's just... strange.
Harry : Do you think I should have told them? Dumbledore and the others, I mean.
Ron : Are you mad?
Hermione : No, Harry. Even in the wizarding world, hearing voices isn't a good sign.
-
Professor Snape : You were seen. By no less than seven Muggles! Do you have any idea how serious this is? You have risked the exposure of our world! Not to mention the damage you inflicted on a Whomping Willow that's been on these grounds since before you were born!
Ron : Honestly, Professor Snape, I think it did more damage to us.
Professor Snape : Silence! I assure you that were you in Slytherin and your fate rested with me, the both of you would be on the train home tonight!
-
Ron : You're a parselmouth! Why didn't you tell us?
Harry : I'm a what?
Hermione : You can talk to snakes!
Harry : I know. I mean, I accidentally set a python on my cousin Dudley at the zoo once. Once. But so what? I bet loads of people here can do it.
Hermione : No, they can't! It's not a very common gift, Harry. This is bad.
Harry : What's bad? If I hadn't told that snake not to attack Justin...
Ron : Oh, that's what you said to it?
Harry : You were there! You heard me!
Ron : I head you speaking parseltongue. Snake language.
Harry : I spoke a different language? But I didn't realize... how can speak a language without knowing I can?
Hermione : I don't know, Harry, but it sounded like you were egging the snake on or something. Harry, listen to me. There's a reason the symbol of Slytherin house is a serpent. Salazar Slytherin was a parselmouth, he could talk to snakes too.
Ron : Exactly! Now the whole school is gonna think you're his great-great-great-grandson or something.
Harry : But I'm not! I can't be.
Hermione : He lived a thousand years ago. For all we know, you could be.
-
Ron : Dad loves muggles. Thinks they're fascinating.
-
[Crabbe and Goyle eat the floating Sleeping Draught cupcakes]
Ron : How thick could you get?
-
Gilderoy Lockhart : [to class] I must ask you not to scream, it might REMOTE THEM!
[pulls cloth off of cage, which reveals pixies]
Seamus Finnigan : Cornish pixies?
Gilderoy Lockhart : [Draco Malfoy and Crabbe snigger] Freshly caught Cornish pixies.
[more people chuckle]
Gilderoy Lockhart : Laugh after you, Mr. Finnigan. The pixies can be devilishly tricky little things. See what you make of them.
[releases pixies, which attack students]
Gilderoy Lockhart : Round them up! Round them up! Round up the pixies
[pixies ruin Lockhart's books and two of them lift Neville by the ear and drop him on the light on the ceiling]
Neville Longbottom : Hey, get me down!
Hermione : Get off me!
Harry : No, stop, hold still!
[hits pixie with book]
Gilderoy Lockhart : Peskipiksi Pesternomi!
[pixie grabs Lockhart's wand and cuts off chain of dinosaur skeleton, which falls]
Gilderoy Lockhart : [to Harry, Ron, and Hermione] I'll ask you three to just nip the rest of them back into your case.
[runs away]
Ron : What do we do now?
Hermione : [takes out wand] Immobulus!
[freezes pixies]
-
[after Lockhart reveals his ineptness at fighting the Dark Arts]
Ron : Is there anything you CAN do?
Gilderoy Lockhart : Yes, now you mention it. I'm rather gifted with Memory Charms. Otherwise, you see, all those wizards would have gone blabbing. And I'd never have sold another book.
-
Ron : Eugh... essence of Crabbe...
-
[Hermione explains to Ron and Harry how they can use Polyjuice potion to impersonate Slytherin students]
Ron : Wicked! Malfoy will tell us anything!
-
Harry : You're running away? After all that stuff you did in your books?
Gilderoy Lockhart : Books can be misleading...
Harry : You wrote them!
Gilderoy Lockhart : My dear boy, do use your common sense! My books wouldn't have sold half as well if people didn't think *I'd* done all those things!
Harry : You're a fraud! You've just been taking credit for what other wizards have done.
Ron : Is there anything you *can* do?
Gilderoy Lockhart : Yes. Now that you mention it, I'm rather gifted with memory charms. Otherwise, you see, all those wizards would have gone blabbing, and I'd never have sold another book
[grabs his wand]
Gilderoy Lockhart : . In fact, I'm going to have to do the same to you.
[Harry and Ron point their wands at him]
Harry : Don't even think about it.
-
Ron : [about his family owl, Errol, who landed into a bowl of rice pudding, sending bits of pudding and chips all over the table] Bloody bird's a menace!
-
[Harry and Ron are in Snape's office; Snape shows them an article in the Daily Prophet about the Ford Anglia flying over London]
Professor Snape : [furiously] You were seen by no less than seven Muggles!
[throws the paper aside]
Professor Snape : Do you have any idea how serious this is? You have risked the exposure of our world! Not to mention the damage you inflicted on a Whomping Willow that's been on these grounds since before you were born!
Ron : Honestly, Professor Snape, I think it did more damage to us.
Professor Snape : Silence!
[Harry and Ron stare in horror as Snape stands up and looks them in the eye]
Professor Snape : I assure you that were you in Slytherin and your fate rested with me, the both of you would be on the train home tonight! As it is...
Dumbledore : They are not.
[Snape, Harry, Ron and Filch turn to see Dumbledore and McGonagall standing in the doorway]
Harry : Professor Dumbledore. Professor McGonagall.
Professor Snape : Headmaster.
[points to Harry and Ron]
Professor Snape : These boys have flouted the Decree for the Restriction of Under Age Wizardry. As such...
Dumbledore : I am well aware of our bylaws, Severus, having written quite a few of them myself. However, as head of Gryffindor House, it is for Professor McGonagall to determine the appropriate action.
Ron : [sadly] We'll go and get our stuff, then.
Professor Minerva McGonagall : What are you talking about, Mr. Weasley?
Ron : You're going to expell us, aren't you?
Professor Minerva McGonagall : Not today, Mr. Weasley.
[Harry and Ron look at each other happily]
Professor Minerva McGonagall : But I must impress on both of you the seriousness of what you have done. I will be writing to your families tonight, and you will both receive detention.
[Harry and Ron are downcast; they turn to Snape, who glares at them]

[Harry and Ron walk along a corridor while Harry reads a crumpled book page Hermione was holding]
Harry Potter : Many fearsome beasts roam our land, yet none more deadly than the basilisk. Capable of living for hundreds of years, instant death awaits any who meet this giant serpent's eye. Spiders flee before it. Ron, this is it! The monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk! That's why *I* can hear it speak! It's a snake!
Ron Weasley : But if it kills by looking people in the eye, why is it no one's dead?
Harry Potter : [pauses and thinks; he and Ron catch their reflections in a window pane] Because no one *did* look it in the eye. Not directly, at least. Colin saw it through his camera. Justin-- Well, Justin must've seen the basilisk through Nearly Headless Nick and Nick got full blast of it, but he's a ghost. He couldn't die again. And Hermione... had the mirror. I bet you *anything* she was using it to look around corners in case it came along.
Ron Weasley : And Mrs. Norris? I'm pretty sure *she* didn't have a camera or a mirror, Harry.
Harry Potter : The water. There was water on the floor that night. She only saw the basilisk's reflection.
[holds up the page; follows Ron to a nearby torch column]
Harry Potter : Spiders flee before it. It all fits!
Ron Weasley : But how has the basilisk been getting around? A dirty great snake. Someone would've seen it.
Harry Potter : [sees the word pipes written on the bottom right corner of the page] Hermione's answered that too.
Ron Weasley : Pipes? It's using the plumbing!
Harry Potter : Remember what Aragog said about that girl fifty years ago? She died in a bathroom. What if she never left?
Ron Weasley : Moaning Myrtle.
Professor Minerva McGonagall : [over loudspeaker] All students are to return to their house dormitories at once. All teachers to the second floor corridor immediately.
-
Madam Pomfrey : Who is it that the monster has taken into the Chamber Minerva?
Professor Minerva McGonagall : Ginny Weasley.
Ron : [gives a shocked and sad look with tears] .
