I've never been to this part of the castle, at least while awake. I sleepwalk you see, that's why I wear shoes to bed. |

Working hard is important, but there's something that matters even more, believing in yourself. Think of it this way, every great wizard in history has started out as nothing more than what we are now, students. If they can do it, why not us. |

You're not a bad person. You are a very good person who bad things have happened to, you understand. Besides the world isn't split into good people and Death Eaters. We've all got both light, and dark inside of us, what matters is the part we choose to act on. That's who we really are. |

This is what I offer each of you today: one tiny vial of liquid luck to the student who in the hour that remains manages to brew an acceptable draft of living death. The recipe for which can be found on page 10 of your books. |

It is the view of the ministry that theoretical knowledge will be sufficient to get you through your examinations, which after all is what school is all about. And how is theory supposed to prepare us for what's out there? There is nothing out there, dear. Who do you imagine would want to attack children like yourself? Oh, I don't know, maybe Lord Voldemort? |

Do you know why I survived, professor, the night I got this. Because of her, because she sacrificed herself, because she refused to step aside, because her love was more powerful than Voldemort. Don't say his name. I'm not afraid of the name, professor. I'm going to tell you something, something others have only guessed at, it's true, I am the chosen one. Only I can destroy him, but to do so I need to know what Tom Riddle said to you all those years ago in your office, and I need to know what you told him. Be brave, professor, be brave like my mother. Otherwise, you disgrace her, otherwise she died for nothing. |

Harry saw great winged creatures soaring around the heads of Voldemort's giants, thestrals and Buckbeak the hippogriff scratching their eyes while Grawp punched and pummeled them; and now the wizards, defenders of Hogwarts and Death Eaters alike, were being forced back into the castle. |

There's something we need to find, something hidden here in the castle and it may help us defeat You Know Who. Right what is it? We don't know. Where is it? We don't know that either, I realised that's not much to go on. That's nothing to go on. |

There were once three brothers who were traveling along a lonely, winding road at twilight. In time, the brothers reached a river too treacherous to pass. But being learned in the magical arts, the three brothers simply waved their wands and made a bridge. Before they could cross, however, they found their path blocked by a hooded figure. It was Death, and he felt cheated. Cheated, because travelers would normally drown in the river, but Death was cunning. He pretended to congratulate the three brothers on their magic and said that each had earned a prize for being clever enough to evade him. The oldest asked for a wand more powerful than any in existence. So Death fashioned him one from an elder tree that stood nearby. The second brother decided he wanted to humiliate death even further and asked for the power to recall loved ones from the grave. So Death plucked a stone from the river, and offered it to him. Finally, Death turned to the third brother. A humble man, he asked for something that would allow him to go forth from that place without being followed by Death. And so it was that Death reluctantly handed over his own cloak of invisibility. The first brother traveled to a distant village, where with the Elder Wand in hand, he killed a wizard with whom he had once quarreled. Drunk with the power that the Elder Wand had given him, he bragged of his invincibility. But that night, another wizard stole the wand and slit the brother's throat for good measure. And so Death took the first brother for his own. The second brother journeyed to his home where he took the stone and turned it thrice in his hand. To his delight, the girl he'd once hoped to marry before her untimely death appeared before him. Yet, soon she turned sad, and cold, for she did not belong in the mortal world. Driven mad with hopeless longing the second brother killed himself so as to join her. And so Death took the second brother. As for the third brother, Death searched for many years, but was never able to find him. Only when he attained a great age did the youngest brother shed the cloak of invisibility and give it to his son. He then greeted Death as an old friend and went with him gladly departing this life as equals. |

I remember every wand I've ever sold, Mr. Potter. It so happens that the phoenix whose tail feather 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. - And who owned that wand? - 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 things, but great. |

When it comes to the dark arts, I believe in a practical approach. First, which of you can tell me how many unforgivable curses there are? - Three, Sir. - And they are so named? - Because they are unforgivable. The use of any one of them wi... - Will earn you a one-way ticket to Azkaban, correct. Now, the ministry says you're too young to see what these curses do, I say different! You need to know what you're up against, you need to be prepared. You need to find another place to put your chewing gum besides the underside of your desk, Mr. Finigan. |

According to legend, Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in this castle, known as the Chamber of Secrets. 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 of Secrets 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. |
