RON
I'm telling you, it's spooky.
She knows more about you than you do.
HARRY
Who doesn't?
The staircase moves.
RON
What's happening?
HARRY
The staircases change, remember?
HERMIONE
Let's go this way.
RON
Before the staircase moves again.
HERMIONE
Does anybody feel like we shouldn't be here?
HARRY
We're not supposed to be here. This is the third floor.
It's forbidden.
HERMIONE
Let's go.
Filch's cat appears.
HARRY
It's Filch's cat!
RON
Run!
HERMIONE
Quick, let's hide through that door!
HERMIONE
It's locked!
RON
We're done for!
HARRY
Move over! Alohomora.
The door opens.
HARRY
Get in.
RON
Alohomora?
HARRY
Standard Book of Spells, chapter seven.
FILCH
Anyone here, my sweet?
HARRY
Come on. Filch is gone.
RON
He thinks this door's locked.
HARRY
It was locked.
They meet a three-headed dog.
RON
And for good reason.
The dog attacks them, but they shut the door.
RON
What are they doing, keeping a thing
like that locked up in a school?
HERMIONE
Didn't you see what it was standing on?
RON
I wasn't looking at its feet! I was preoccupied with its heads.
Or maybe you didn't notice. There were three!
HERMIONE
It was standing on a trap door. It wasn't there by accident.
It's guarding something.
HARRY
Guarding something?
HERMIONE
That's right. Now, if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed...
before you come up with another idea to get us killed.
Or worse, expelled.
RON
She needs to sort out her priorities.
INT. GARDEN
Harry and Oliver Wood walk in the garden.
WOOD
Quidditch is easy to understand.
Each team has seven players.
WOOD
Three Chasers, two Beaters,
one Keeper and a Seeker. That's you.
Oliver takes out a bag and opens it.
WOOD
There are three kinds of balls. This one's called the Quaffle.
The Chasers handle the Quaffle and try to put it through one
of those hoops. The Keeper, that's me, defends the hoops.
With me so far?
HARRY
I think so. What are those?
WOOD
You better take this.
Oliver hands Harry a stick.
WOOD
Careful now, it's coming back.
Oliver takes a Bludger and throws it to Harry. Harry hits it.
WOOD
Not bad, Potter. You'd make a fair Beater.
The bludger comes back to Oliver. Oliver catches it and keeps it in the bag.
HARRY
What was that?
WOOD
Bludger. Nasty little buggers. But you are a Seeker.
The only thing I want you to worry about is this.
Oliver takes a Golden Snitch.
WOOD
The Golden Snitch.
HARRY
I like this ball.
WOOD
You like it now. Just wait. It's wicked fast and damn near impossible to see.
HARRY
What do I do with it?
WOOD
You catch it. Before the other team's Seeker. You catch this, the game's over.
You catch this, Potter, and we win.
INT.CLASS
TEACHER
One of a wizard's most rudimentary skills is levitation...
or the ability to make objects fly. Do you have your feathers?
Good. Now, don't forget the nice wrist movement we've been
practicing. The swish and flick. Everyone. The swish and flick.
Good. Oh, and enunciate. Wingardium Leviosa. Off you go, then.
ALL
Wingardium Leviosa.
RON
Wingardium Leviosa.
HERMIONE
No, stop, stop, stop! You're going to take someone's eye out.
Besides, you're saying it wrong. It's Leviosa, not Leviosar.
RON
You do it then, if you're so clever. Go on, go on.
HERMIONE
Wingardium Leviosa.
TEACHER
Well done! See here, everyone, Miss Granger's done it!
Splendid! Well done, dear.
A student burns a wing.
HARRY
I think we're going to need another feather over here.
INT.CORRIDOR
RON
"It's Leviosa, not Leviosar." She's a nightmare, honestly!
No wonder she hasn't got any friends.
Hermione is hurt.
HARRY
I think she heard you.
INT. DINING ROOM
HARRY
Where's Hermione?
NEVILLE
Parvati said she wouldn't come out of the bathroom.
She said that she'd been in there all afternoon, crying.
QUIRRELL
Troll in the dungeon! Troll in the dungeon!
Thought you ought to know.
Quirrell collapses on the spot. Everyone panics and screams.
DUMBLEDORE
Silence! Everyone will please not panic! Now...
...prefects will lead their house back to the dormitories.
Teachers will follow me to the dungeons.
Everyone starts to move and go toward the dormitories.
WOOD
Gryffindors, keep up, please, and stay alert.
RON
How could a troll get in?
HARRY
Not on its own. Trolls are really stupid.
Probably people playing jokes.
They go to Hermione.
RON
What?
HARRY
Hermione! She doesn't know.
A troll appears.
HARRY
I think the troll's left the dungeon.
RON
It's going into the girls' bathroom.
The troll tries to kill Hermione.
HARRY
Hermione, move!
HERMIONE
Help! Help!
RON
Hey, pea brain!
HERMIONE
Help!
Harry gets the troll's attention, but he can't beat the troll.
RON
What?
HARRY
Anything! Hurry up!
HERMIONE
Swish and flick.
RON
Wingardium Leviosa.
The troll's stick floats up, then strikes its head.
RON
Cool. Is it dead?
HARRY
I don't think so. Just knocked out.
Harry pulls his wand from the troll's nose.
RON
Troll boogers.
McGonagall appears.
MCGONAGALL
Oh, my goodness! Explain yourselves, both of you!
HARRY
Well, what it is...
HERMIONE
It's my fault, Professor McGonagall.
MCGONAGALL
Miss Granger?
HERMIONE
I went looking for the troll. I thought I could handle it.
But I was wrong. If Harry and Ron hadn't come and found me,
I'd probably be dead.
MCGONAGALL
Be that as it may, it was an extremely foolish thing to do.
I expected more rational behavior and am very disappointed in you.
Five points will be taken from Gryffindor...
McGonagall stares at Hermione.
MCGONAGALL
...for your serious lack of judgment.
McGonagall stares at Harry and Ron.
MCGONAGALL
As for you two gentlemen...
Harry and Ron look down.
MCGONAGALL
I just hope you realize how fortunate you are.
Not many first-year students could take on a troll...
Harry and Ron turned their faces aside.
MCGONAGALL
and live to tell the tale. Five points...
...will be awarded to each of you...
Harry and Ron are pleased.
MCGONAGALL
...for sheer dumb luck.
McGonagall leaves the restroom. Snape and Quirrell look at each
other. Snape leaves the restroom.
QUIRRELL
Perhaps you ought to go. It might wake up.
Harry, Ron and Hermione leave the restroom.
Quirrell looks down at the troll. He is surprised to hear it moan.
INT.HALL
The students have a meal.
RON
Take a bit of toast, mate. Go on.
HERMIONE
Ron's right. You'll need your strength today.
Snape approaches Harry.
HARRY
I'm not hungry.
SNAPE
Good luck today, Potter. You've proven yourself against a troll. A game of
Quidditch should be easy work. Even if it is against Slytherin.
Snape leaves. Harry notices he has an injured leg.
HARRY
That explains the blood.
HERMIONE
Blood?
HARRY
Last night, I'm guessing Snape let the troll in as a diversion...
...so he could get past that dog.
HERMIONE
But he got bit, that's why he's limping.
RON
But why would anyone go near that dog?
HARRY
At Gringotts, Hagrid took something out of the vault.
Said it was Hogwarts business, very secret.
HERMIONE
You're saying... That's what the dog's guarding.
That's what Snape wants.
Suddenly, Harry's owl carries a baggage and hand in.
HERMIONE
Bit early for mail, isn't it?
HARRY
But I never get mail.
RON
Let's open it.
They open it and there is a broom.
HARRY
It's a broomstick.
RON
That's not just a broomstick, it's a Nimbus 2000!
HARRY
But who...?
Harry look at McGonagall. She smiles at Harry while stroking his owl.
HERMIONE
Scared, Harry?
HARRY
A little.
INT. ROOM
WOOD
It's all right. I felt the same way before my first game.
HARRY
What happened?
WOOD
I don't really remember. I took a Bludger to the head two minutes in.
Woke up in hospital a week later.
LEE
Welcome to Hogwarts' first Quidditch game of the season.
Today's game, Slytherin versus Gryffindor!
The Quidditch players fly.
LEE
The players take their positions...as Madam Hooch steps onto the field
to begin the game!
HOOCH
Now, I want a nice, clean game...from all of you!
Hooch opens the box.
LEE
The Bludgers are up, followed by the Golden Snitch.
Remember, the Snitch is worth 150 points.
The Seeker who catches the Snitch ends the game.
Hooch throws a ball.
LEE
The Quaffle is released and the game begins!
COMMENTATOR
Angelina Johnson scores!
Ten points for Gryffindor!
HAGRID
Well done!
COMMENTATOR
Slytherin takes the Quaffle.
Bletchley passes to Captain Marcus Flint.
Gryffindor scores a goal.
COMMENTATOR
Another 10 points to Gryffindor!
SLYTHERIN’S CAPTAIN
Give me that!
Oliver Wood hits the Quaffle. He faints.
SLYTHERIN’S CAPTAIN
Take that side!
Harry finds the snitch. But his broom is funny.
HAGRID
What's going on with Harry's broomstick?
HERMIONE
It's Snape. He's jinxing the broom!
RON
Jinxing the broom? What do we do?
HERMIONE
Leave it to me.
RON
Come on, Hermione!
HERMIONE
Lacarnum Inflamarae.
Snape’s clothes catch fire.
TEACHER
Fire! You're on fire!
Harry’s broom is fixed. He chases the snitch.
HAGRID
Go, go, go, go!
Harry falls.
HAGRID
Looks like he's gonna be sick.
Harry spits out a snitch.
COMMENTATOR
He's got the Snitch! Harry Potter receives 150 points
for catching the Snitch!
HOOCH
Gryffindor wins!
EXT. STADIUM
HAGRID
Nonsense! Why would Snape put a curse on Harry's broom?
HARRY
Who knows? Why was he trying to get past that three-headed dog?
HAGRID
Who told you about Fluffy?
HARRY
Fluffy? That thing has a name?
HAGRID
Of course he has a name. He's mine. I bought him off an Irishman.
I lent him to Dumbledore to guard... Shouldn't have said that.
No more questions! That's top-secret.
HARRY
But whatever Fluffy's guarding, Snape's trying to steal it.
HAGRID
Codswallop. Professor Snape is a Hogwarts teacher.
HERMIONE
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.
HAGRID
Exactly. Now, you listen to me, all three of you. You're meddling in things
that ought not to be meddled in. It's dangerous. What that dog is guarding is
between Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel.
HARRY
Nicholas Flamel?
HAGRID
I shouldn't have said that. I should not have said that.
HARRY
Nicholas Flamel. Who's Nicholas Flamel?
HERMIONE
I don't know.
STUDENT
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Ring the Hogwart bell
Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas
Cast a Christmas spell
HARRY
Knight to e5.
RON
Queen to e5.
HERMIONE
That's totally barbaric!
RON
That's wizard's chess. I see you've packed.
HERMIONE
I see you haven't.
RON
Change of plans. My parents went to Romania to visit my brother Charlie.
RON
He's studying dragons there.
HERMIONE
Good. You can help Harry.
HERMIONE
He's going to the library to look up Nicholas Flamel.
RON
We've looked a hundred times!
HERMIONE
Not in the restricted section. Happy Christmas.
RON
I think we've had a bad influence on her.
RON
Harry, wake up! Come on, Harry, wake up!
Happy Christmas, Harry.
HARRY
Happy Christmas, Ron. What are you wearing?
Ron is wearing a T-shirt.
RON
Oh, my mum made it. Looks like you've got one too.
HARRY
I've got presents?
RON
Yeah.
HARRY
There they are.
Harry reads a letter.
HARRY
"Your father left this in my possession before he died.
It is time it was returned to you. Use it well."
RON
What is it?
HARRY
Some kind of cloak.
RON
Well, let's see, then. Put it on.
HARRY
My body's gone!
RON
I know what that is. That's an invisibility cloak!
HARRY
I'm invisible?
RON
They're really rare. I wonder who gave it to you.
HARRY
There was no name. It just said, "Use it well."
INT. LIBRARY
HARRY
Famous Fire-Eaters. Fifteenth-Century Fiends.
Flamel. Nicholas Flamel. Where are you?
FILCH
Who's there? I know you're in there. You can't hide. Who is it?
Show yourself.
INT. CORRIDOR
Harry sees Quirrell and Snape talking.
QUIRRELL
Severus, I...
SNAPE
You don't want me as your enemy, Quirrell.
QUIRRELL
I don't know what you mean.
SNAPE
You know perfectly well what I mean.
We'll have another little chat soon.
When you've had time to decide
where your loyalties lie.
Filch appears.
FILCH
Professors. I found this in the restricted section.
It's still hot. That means there's a student out of bed.
Questions
1. According to Hermione, what is the purpose of the three-headed dog?
2. What is the result of the Quidditch match?
3. Why does Harry Potter go to the restricted section of the library?
