Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone Page #6

Synopsis: This is the tale of Harry Potter, an ordinary 11-year-old boy serving as a sort of slave for his aunt and uncle who learns that he is actually a wizard and has been invited to attend the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry is snatched away from his mundane existence by Hagrid, the grounds keeper for Hogwarts, and quickly thrown into a world completely foreign to both him and the viewer. Famous for an incident that happened at his birth, Harry makes friends easily at his new school. He soon finds, however, that the wizarding world is far more dangerous for him than he would have imagined, and he quickly learns that not all wizards are ones to be trusted.

- Look!|- Who's that girl?

Welcome to Hogwarts.

Password?

Caput Draconis.

Follow me, everyone. Keep up.|Quickly, come on.

Gather around here.

Welcome to the Gryffindor common room.

Boys' dormitory is upstairs to the left.|Girls, the same on your right.

Your belongings have|already been brought up.

Made it!

Can you imagine the look on old|McGonagall's face if we were late?

- That was bloody brilliant!|- Thank you for that assessment.

It'd be better if I transfigured|Mr. Potter and you into a watch.

- Then one of you might be on time.|- We got lost.

Then perhaps a map? I trust you|don't need one to find your seats.

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...

...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.

Then again, maybe some of you have|come to Hogwarts with abilities...

...so formidable that|you feel confident enough...

...to not pay attention.

Mr. Potter.

Our new celebrity.

What would I get if I added root|of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?

You don't know? Let's try again.

Where would you look|if I asked you to find a bezoar?

I don't know, sir.

What is the difference|between monkshood and wolfsbane?

I don't know, sir.

Pity.

Clearly, fame isn't everything...

...is it, Mr. Potter?

Turn this water into rum

Eye of rabbit...

What's Seamus trying to do|to the water?

Turn it to rum. Actually managed|a weak tea yesterday, before...

Mail's here.

Can I borrow this? Thanks.

Look, Neville's got a Remembrall.

I've read about those. The smoke turns|red when you've forgotten something.

The problem is, I can't remember|what I've forgotten.

Somebody broke into Gringotts. Listen.

"Believed to be the work|of Dark wizards or witches...

...Gringotts goblins acknowledge|the breach but insist nothing was taken."

"The vault in question, number 713,|had been emptied earlier that same day."

That's odd. That's the vault|Hagrid and I went to.

- Good afternoon, class.|- Good afternoon, Madam Hooch.

Good afternoon, Amanda.|Good afternoon.

Welcome to your first flying lesson.

What are you waiting for?|Step up to your broomstick.

Come on now, hurry up. Stick your hand|over the broom and say, "Up".

Up!

Up.

Up.

Up. Up!

With feeling.

Shut up, Harry.

Now, once you've got hold of|your broom, I want you to mount it.

Grip it tight. You don't wanna be|sliding off the end.

When I blow my whistle, I want you|to kick off from the ground, hard.
