NARRATOR: Think your life's tough? Ever had a lousy day? Harry Potter has. Almost every day is a lousy day. But that's all about to change in (HOLDS UP TITLE)

HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE

Scene one

NARRATOR: A MAN IN A NIGHT DARK CLOAK, AWASH WITH STARS, APPEARS AT THE END OF THE STREET. HE DRAWS SOMETHING FROM HIS ROBE AND CLICKS IT. AS HE DOES, THE STREET LAMP NEAREST HIM GOES OUT. HE CLICKS IT 5 MORE TIMES, AND THE REMAINING 5 STREETLIGHTS GO OUT. HE THEN ADVANCES TOWARD A WALL WHERE A CAT IS SLEEPING. HE SITS DOWN NEXT TO THE CAT, AND SAYS HELLO TO IT.

DUMBLEDOR: Fancy seeing you here, Professor McGonagall

NARRATOR: TURNS TO SMILE AT CAT, BUT IN ITS PLACE, IS A WOMAN

DUMBLEDOR: Have you been sitting here all day, when you could have been celebrating?

MC GONAGALL: Oh yes, everyone's celebrating, all right. They should be more careful. Even the Muggles have noticed something is fishy

DUMBLEDOR: You can't blame all of the witches and wizards. We've had so little to celebrate for 11 years.

MC GONAGALL: I know that you're right, but people are being so careless, talking about all of this in front of Muggles! Dumbledor, is what they are saying true? Is You-know-who really gone?

DUMBLEDOR: It certainly seems so. We have a lot to be thankful for.

MC GONAGALL: As I say, even if You-know-who has gone-

DUMBLEDOR: Professor, please. You are a sensible person. I wish that you would call him by his name, which is Voldemort, and NOT you-know-who.

MC GONAGALL: All right, Voldemort!

.

MC GONAGALL: They are also saying that he killed Lily and James Potter- Is that true

DUMBLEDORE NODS HIS HEAD

MC GONAGALL: Lily and James, I can't believe it.

DUMBLEDOR: I know, Minerva, I know.

MC GONAGALL: That's not all. They're saying he tried to kill the Potters son, Harry. But he couldn't. Voldemort's power somehow broke, and that's why he's gone.

DUMBLEDORE NODS

DUMBLEDOR: Hagrid will be bringing little Harry to live here at his aunt and uncle's house

MC GONAGALL: Here!? You can't put him here! These people are the mugglest of the muggles!

DUMBLEDOR: Its best for him, he won’t be a celebrity everywhere he goes

MC GONAGALL: I understand

HAGRID APPEARS WITH BABY HARRY IN HIS ARMS

HAGRID: I'm going to miss 'im

MC GONAGALL: we all will

HAGRID: Can I say good-bye to him?

DUMBLEDOR: Of course you can say good-bye to him, Hagrid.

HAGRID: Goodbye, harry

MC GONAGALL: All first years this way!

ENTER THE DINING HALL FIRST YEARS STAND TOGETHER

HAT STARTS TO SPEAK HAT:

Oh you may not think I’m pretty,

but don’t judge on what you see,

I’ll eat myself if you can find

a smarter hat than me

You can keep your bowlers black,

Your top hats sleek and tall,

For I'm the Hogwarts sorting hat,

And I can cap them all.

There's nothing hidden in your head

The sorting hat can’t see,

So try me on and I will tell you

Where you ought to be

You might belong in Gryffindor,

Where dwell the brave at heart,

Their daring, nerve, and chivalry

Set Gryffindors apart

You might belong in Hufflepuff,

Where they are just as loyal

Those patient Hufflepuffs are true

And unafraid of toil

Or yet in wise old Ravenclaw,

If you’ve a ready mind,

Where those of wit and learning,

Will always find their kind.

Or perhaps in Slytheryn

You’ll make your real true friends,

Those cunning folks use any means,

To achieve their ends

So put me on! Don’t be afraid!

And don’t get in a flap!

You’re in safe hands, (though have I none)

For I’m a thinking cap

RON: So we just have to try on the hat.

PEOPLE TRY ON HAT

HAT: HUFFLEPUFF!

HAT: SLYTHERIN!

HAT: RAVENCLAW!

HAT: RAVENCLAW!

NARRATOR: Ron and Hermoine become new Gryffindors, along with Neville and Draco Malfoy becomes a Slytherin. Then it is Harry’s turn

HARRY PUTS ON HAT

HAT: Plenty of courage, cunning,

HARRY: Not Slytherin

HAT: You sure, you could be great, you know-no better be GRYFFINDOR!

NARRATOR: Sorting is finished and Professor Dumbledor, the headmaster stands up

DUMBLEDOR: I would like to say a few words: Nitwit! Blubber! Oddment! Tweak!

Thank You!

HARRY: Hello Percy! Is professor Dumbledor a bit Mad?

PERCY: Not at all, he’s a genius! Potatoes, Harry?

DUMBLEDOR: And now lets sing the school song. Everyone pick your favorite tune and sing:

Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy warty Hogwarts,

Teach us something please,

Weather we be old and bald,

Or young with scabby knees

Our heads could do with filling,

With some interesting stuff

For now they’re bare and filled with air’

Dead flies and bits of fluff.

So teach us things worth knowing,

Bring back what we’ve forgot,

Just do your best, we’ll do the rest,

And learn until our brains all rot

Scene Eight

Scene Ten

RON: Cool! Flying Lessons!

HARRY: (darkley)Typical.Just what I always wanted to make a fool of myself on a broomstick in front of Malfoy.

BEGIN WALKING. WALK TO END OF HALL

HERMIONE: Wait! I’m going with you

HARRY: You are not.

HERMIONE: Do you think that I’m just going to stand here and let Filch catch me? If he catches us, I’ll just tell him the truth; that I was trying to stop you and you can back me up.

RON: You have some nerve-

HARRY: Shut up, both of you. I thought I heard something

HERMIONE: Mrs. Norris ?

RON: Whew! It’s just Neville

NEVILL: Thank goodness you found me, I forgot the password, and I’ve been here for hours!

HARRY: The password is Pig snout, it won’t do you any good, you can't get in.

WALK DOWN THE HALL.

He: Are we, um, Friends now?

HARRY AND RON LOOK AT EACHOTHER

ALL THREE: Friends!

NARRATOR: It is Harry’s first Qidditch match, and it goes quite nicely, until, as harry tries to catch the golden snitch, and win the game, one on the players from Slytherin, the team that they are playing cuts him off. Suddenly, Harry’s broom begins trying to throw him off- something quite unusual. In the stands, Hermione sees Snape muttering under his breath, trying to cast a spell. Hermione races over, knocking over several people, including professor Quirrel, the defense against the dark arts teacher on the way, and sets a magical fire to Snape’s cloak. Harry is again able to get on his broom, and floats to the ground, where he coughs, and out of his mouth comes the golden snitch, thus winning the match for Gryffindor!

AT HAGRIDS

HERMIONE: It was Snape. Hermione and I saw him .he was cursing your broomstick, muttering, he wouldn’t take his eyes off you.

HAGRID: Rubbish. Why would Professor Snape do something like that?

HARRY:I found out something else about him, he tried to get past that big three-headed dog in the place that we found on the night Malfoy challenged me to that wizards duel.

HAGRID: You know about Fluffy?

ALL: Fluffy?

HAGRID: Yeah, he’s mine, bought him from a Greek Chappie. I lent him to Dumbledor to guard the-Now don’t ask me anymore, it’s top secret, you know.

HARRY: But Snape’s trying to steal it!

HAGRID: Snape's a Hogwarts teacher, why would he try to steal something that Dumbledor was keeping safe?

HERMIONE: So why did he just try to kill Harry? I Know a Jinx when I see one ,Hagrid, I’ve read all about them, you need to keep eye contact, and Snape wasn’t blinking at all!

HAGRID: I’m telling you, yer wrong, I don’t know why Harry’s broom acted like that, but Snape wasn’t trying to kill a student! Now listen to me. all three of yeh, yer meddling in things that don’t concern yeh. It’s dangerous! You forget that dog, and you forget what it’s guarding, that’s between Dumbledor and Nicholas Flamel!

HARRY: Aha! So there's someone called Nicholas Flamel is there?

Scene Fourteen

HERMIONE: Harry, Ron, we have half an hour until lunch, and we should be in the Library.

RON: Oh, yeah, you’re right.

HAGRID: The Library? Just before the holidays? Bit keen, Aren’t you?

HERMIONE: Oh, we’re not working. Ever since you mentioned Nicholas Flamel, we’ve been trying to find out who he is.

HAGRID: You what? Look at here, I’ve told you, drop it. It’s nothing to you what that dog’s guarding.

HERMIONE: We just want to know who Nicholas Flamel is, that’s all.

HAGRID: I’m saying nothing.

WALK OUT INTO HALL

HERMIONE:I have no idea what to check next- we’ve checked all of the modern wizarding books, and I can’t find him anywhere!

HARRY: SITS UP SUDDENLYAND SLIPS ON THE INVISIBILTY CLOAK

HARRY:I can go to the restricted section of the library and find out about Nicholas Flamel!

NARRATOR:WALKS THROUGH THE CORRIDORS UNTIL HE REACHES THE LIBRARY. GOES TO THE RESRICTED SECTION AND PULLS A BOOK OFF OF A SHELF.SUDDENLY, A SCREAM WRENCHES THROUGH THE AIR HARRY: SNAPS THE BOOK SHUT, BUT THE SCREAM CONTINUES. HARRY: PULLS THE CLOAK BACK ON AND HURRES FROM THE RESTRICTED SECTION. AS HE GOES THROUGH THE HALL, SNAPE SWISHES AROUND THE CORNER AND HARRY JUST BARELY GET INTO AN EMPTY CLASSROOM. SNAPE BEGINS TO SPEAK.

SNAPE: Filch, what is all of this commotion.

FILCH: You asked me to come directly to you, Servus, if anyone was in the restricted section of the library

SNAPE: Well, we’ll have to make an extensive search to find them.

HARRY TURNS AROUND AND SIGHS THEN HE NOTICES A MIRROR AGAINST THE WALL HARRY ADVANCES TO THE MIRRROR AND THEN GASPS.

HARRY: I can see all of my family! I’ve never seen them before! The Dursleys wouldn’t let me see any pictures! There's my Mum and that's my Dad!

Scene Sixteen

NARRATOR: Harry goes back, and tell s Ron the next morning about the mirror, and, although Ron was upset that harry hadn’t come back and woken him up, he brightened considerably when harry said that he could come with him that night………..

NIGHT

HARRY: Look!

RON: I don’t see them! I only see you!

HARRY: Look in it properly, stand where I am.

RON: Woah!

HARRY: What?

RON: I’m Head boy! And I’m Quidditch Captain Too!

HARY: You are not!

RON: Are too!

HARRY: Shush! Someone’s coming!

NARRATOR:THEY PULL THE INVISIBILITY CLOAK ON JUST IN TIME AS MRS.NORRIS LOOKS AROUND THE CORNER AFTER A LITTLE WHILE, SHE LEAVES, AND BOTH BOYS LET OUT A SIGH OF RELEIF.

RON: Let’s go.

HARRY HURRIES THROUGH THE HALLS, REACHES CLASSROOM AND SITS DOWN IN FRONT OF THE MIRROR.

DUMBLEDOR: So, back again Harry?

HARRY:I didn't see you sir.

DUMBLEDOR: Strange how blind being invisible can make you. So, you, like hundreds of others have found the mirror of Erised.

HARRY:I didn't know that it was called that, Sir.

DUMBLEDOR: But I expect that you have figured out what it does.

HARY: Well, it shows me my family.

DUBLEDOR: And it showed your friend as head boy. Now can you guess what the mirror shows us all?

HARRY: SHAKES HEAD

DUMBLEDOR: Let me explain. The happiest man on earth would be able to use the Mirror of Erised as a normal mirror. That is, he would look into it and see only himself. Do you understand?. It shows us nothing more than our deepest desire. You desired your family, Ronald Weasley desired not to be overshadowed by his older brothers. Bur, the mirror will be moved to a new home tomorrow, Harry do not go looking for it.

HARRY: Sir, what do you see when you look in the mirror?

DUMBLEDOR: Socks. Warm woolen socks. I want socks, but people always insist on giving me books.

Scene Eighteen

HERMIONE, HARRY, AND RON ARE GATHERED IN THE GRYFFINDOR COMMON ROOM HARRY IS TELLING WHAT HAPPENED OVER CHRISTMAS VACATION

HARRY: So, anyway, lately I've been having a lot of weird dreams.

RON: Dumbledor was right, Harry, that mirror is driving you insane.

HERMIONE: And really, Harry, what if Filch had caught you? Or Snape?

HARRY: And, I just found out that Snape's Refereeing the Quidditch match!

HERMIONE: Oh, no Harry! You can't play in the game! Pretend to break your leg!

RON: Really break your leg!

HARRY:I can't. There's no reserve Seeker. If I back out, Gryffindor can't play at all!

NEVILLE HOPS TO THE DOOR AND THEN FALLS DOWN, HAVING HIS LEGS STUCK TOGETHER.EVERYONE STARTS LAUGHING EXCEPT HARRY AND HERMIONE

NEVILL: Help! My legs are glued together!

HERMIONE: Fajilaclock What happened?

Neville: Malfoy. I met him outside of the Library. He said that he was looking for someone to practice that on.

HERMIONE: Go to Professor McGonagall. Report him.

NEVILL:I don't want to cause anymore problems.

HARRY: Your worth 12 of Malfoy! Here- have a chocolate frog.

HANDS NEVILLE A CHOCOLATE FROG

NEVILL: Thanks. Harry. Do you want the card?

HARRY ACCEPTD THE CARD.

HARRY: It's Dumbledor, he was my very first one (gasp!)

HERMIONE&RON: What?

HERMIONE: Stay here a minute!

HERMIONE:I got this out of the Library for a bit of light reading

RON: Light?!

HERMIONE: Oh, Just Listen! Nicolas Flamel, is the only known maker of the Sorcerer's stone

HARRY&RON: The what!?

HERMIONE: Oh, honestly, don't you two read? Here, read this

SLIDES BOOK TOWARDS THE TWO BOYS.

HARRY: The study of Alchemy is concerned with making the sorcerer's stone. The stone will transform any metal into pure gold. It also makes the Elixir of life which will make the drinker immortal. The only stone currently in existence belongs to Mr. Nicolas Flamel, who celebrated his 665 birthday last year, and enjoys a quiet life in Devon with his wife Pernelle.

RON: A stone that makes any metal turn to gold and that makes you live forever. No wonder Snape is after it. Anyone would be!

Scene Nineteen

NARRATOR: At the Quidditch match, Harry makes a swift capture of the snitch, and wins the game for the Gryffindor team! On the way back to the castle, Harry talks to Hermione and Ron

HERMIONE: Weren't you scared?

HARRY: Nope. Dumbledor was in the stands

RON: That’s why Snape looked so furious-he couldn't do anything because Dumbledor was there

HARRY: I’d better go and put my broom away. TURNS AWAY. See you!

HARRY: SEES SNAPE GO IN TO THE FORBIDDREN FOREST, AND FOLLOWS HIM. HE WALKS THROUGH THE FOREST UNTIL HE SEES PROFESSOR SNAPE AND PROFESSOR QUIRRLE

QUIRRLE: Don't know why you wanted to see me here of all places, Servus.

SNAPE: Oh, I thought we'd keep this private. Students aren’t supposed to know about the sorcerer’s stone, after all. Have you found out how to get past that beast of Hagrid's yet?

QUIRRLE: But Servus, I-

SNAPE: You don't want me as your enemy, Quirrel-now about the sorcerer’s stone…….

QUIRRRLE: But I-

HOGWARTS

NARRATOR: back in the Gryffindor common room……..

RON: We won!

HARRY: Never mind that! Come on!

RON: It will be gone by next Tuesday.

Scene Twenty

NARRATOR: Hermione is sitting at a table in the library, studying for exams, when Hagrid comes to talk to them, and asks them if they are still looking for Nicholas Flamel. Harry responds that they found out who he was ages ago, and they know that fluffy is guarding the sorcerer’s stone. Hagrid quickly pulls them into a corner to talk.

There are few things that we'd like to ask you, such as what else is guarding the stone and-

HAGRID: Shush! Listen, I promise to tell you anything

HARRY: We were wondering if you could tell us what's guarding the stone except fluffy?

HAGRID: Of course not. I don't know myself, you know too much already! Beats me how you even know about Fluffy!

HERMIONE: Oh, come on, Hagrid, You may not want to tell us, but you know what's going on. You know everything that's going on around here

RON: We only want to know who Dumbledor had trusted to guard the stone, apart from yourself.

HAGRID: Well, I suppose that it can’t hurt to tell you. Sprout, Flitwick, McGonagall, Quirrel, Dumbledor, and Snape all did Enchantments in room that guard it.

HARRY: Hagrid, what are you hiding behind your back?

HAGRID: It’s a book on raising dragons leans closer I have one, that I’m hatching! Won it, Last night. I was down in the Village, having some drinks, and got into a game of cards with a stranger. I think that he was quite glad to get rid of it to be honest.

RON: But what are you going to do when it's hatched?

HAGRID: Well, I've been doing some reading...

HERMIONE: Hagrid, you live in a wooden house! IT’S GOING TO GET HUGE!

Scene twenty one

HARRY: RECEIVES NOTE

HARRY: Look. Hagrid sent me a note! It says, it's hatching! Let's go!

RON BURSTS THROUGH THE DOOR

RON: It bit me!

HARRY: I'm sorry - But look! There's a response from Charlie. You have to open it.

RON TEARS OPEN LETTER AND READS IT QUICKLY.

He says that he will take him!!

HARRY AND HERMIONE: All right!

NARRATOR: Ron's cut swelled and turned a nasty shade of green. It was up to Harry and Hermione to rescue Norbert So on Saturday only the two of them went to Hagrid’s hut and left with Norbert. They got into the castle and saw that Malfoy was awarded a Detention for being out of bed. they handed Norbert off to Charlie's friends and started back down the stairs. Filch popped up. They had forgotten the invisibility cloak at the top of the tower

HARRY AND HERMIONE SIT IN PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL'S OFFICE

PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL COMES IN LEADING NEVILLE TURNS TO HARRY: AND HERMIONE.

MC GONAGALL: All of you will receive detentions, and 50 points will be taken from Gryffindor

HARRY: You can't do that, Professor!

McGONAGALL: 50 points EACH! And don't tell me what I can and can’t do!

NARRATOR: Poor Harry. All of the people started to hate him, as he was the best known. Even the people in the other houses hated him because no one wanted Slytherin to win the house cup. Harry swore not to sneak around and meddle in things, and settles down to studying for exams.

NEXT MORNING AT BREAKFAST HARRY, HERMIONE, AND NEVILL RECEIVE NOTES REGUARDING THEIR DETENTION Eleven o'clock p.m.

A centaur chases the thing away, and carries harry back to Hagrid, meanwhile telling him that Voldemort, the dark wizard is the one who wants the sorcerer’s stone, because he needs to stay alive. He had been drinking unicorn blood, which had kept him alive, but at a dear price, for he who drinks the blood of a unicorn shall forever lead a cursed life. harry and the others return to the castle, harry thinking about what he has just learned..

BACK IN GRYFFENDOR.

NARRATOR: HARRY FINDS THE INVISIBILITY CLOAK ON HIS BED WITH A NOTE

Scene twenty two

NARRATOR: Finally, it is the end of exams week, and Harry, Hermione, and Ron flop down in the grass outside of the castle.

HERMIONE:(sigh) Exams are over!

HARRY: I’m worried. I keep having this pain in my forehead. I think it means that danger is coming.

HERMIONE: Relax Harry, the stone is safe as long as Dumbledor's around

RON: And Neville will play Quidditch for England before Hagrid lets Dumbledor down

HARRY: Yeah, I guess your right.

HARRY GASPS, GETS UP AND STARTS RUNNING TO HAGRID’S COTTAGE THE OTHERS FOLLOW HARRY. THEY REACH THE COTTAGE AND KNOCK ON THE DOOR.

HAGRID ANSWERS

HARRY: Hagrid, what did the person that gave you Norbert at the pub look like?

HADRID: I don’t know, he didn’t take his cloak off.

HARRY: Did you talk about Hogwarts?

HAGRID: Yeah, he asked me what I did, and I said that I was the game keeper here, and he asked what kind of animals I looked after, and I told him, and he asked if I wanted a dragon egg, and I said yeah, after Fluffy, a Dragon would be easy.

HARRY: Was he interested in fluffy?

HAGRID: Yeah, well, how many dogs with three do you usually find? So I told him, Fluffy’s a piece if cake, once you know how to calm him down, just play a bit of music.

HARRY STANDS UP VERY QUICKLY,AND THE OTHERS FOLLOW HIM OUTSIDE

HARRY: We need to go to Dumbledor! Hagrid told that stranger how to get past Fluffy, and the person under that cloak was either Snape or Voldemort!

BACK IN THE CASTLE

MEET PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL

HARRY: We need to see Dumbledor!

McGONAGALL: Why?

RON: It’s sort of a secret.

MCGONAGALL: Professor Dumbledor left ten minutes ago.

HARRY: But Professor, this is important!

MCGONAGALL: More important than the Ministry of Magic?

HARRY: Look Professor, it’s about the sorcerer’s stone.

BOOKS TUMBLE TO THE FLOOR

MCGONAGALL: How do you know? Never mind.

HARRY: Professor, someone's trying to steal it!

MCGONAGALL: Potter, it is too well protected to be stolen. Professor Dumbledor will be back tomorrow.

PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL GATHERS HER BOOKS AND LEAVES

HARRY: Snape is going through the trap door tonight. He’s found out everything he needs and now he’s got Dumbledor out of the way bet the Ministry of Magic will get a real shock when Dumbledor turns up, because it was Snape who sent him away!

RON: But what can we-

SNAPE: Good afternoon

ALL STARE AT SNAPE

SNAPE: You shouldn’t be inside on a day like today. You should be more careful, hanging around like this, people will think that you’re up to something. And Gryffindor can’t afford to lose anymore points, can it?

SNAPE TURNS TO LEAVE.

SNAPE: Oh, and Potter, if I catch you on any more midnight rambles, I will personally make sure that your expelled. Goodbye.

LEAVES

HARRY: Right, now one of us needs to stand outside of the staff room to keep an eye on Snape. Hermoine that had better be you.

HERMIONE: Why me?

RON :It’s obvious. You can pretend to be waiting for professor Flitwick PUTS ON HIGH VOICE Professor Flitwick, I’m afraid that I got Question 14 B wrong on the final exam- can you tell me if I did? Right?

HERMIONE: Oh, shut up. I’ll do it.

HARRY: And Ron and I had better stand outside of the third floor corridor,

OUTSIDE THE CORRIDOR

PROFFESOR MCGONAGALL WALKS PAST. STOPS.

MCGONAGALL: I suppose you think you’re harder to get past than a pack of enchantments! Enough of this nonsense. If I hear you have come anywhere near here again, I’ll take another 50 points from Gryffindor. Yes Weasley, from my own house!

BACK IN THE COMMON ROOM

HARRY: Oh well, at least Hermoine is on Snape’s tail.

DOOR OPENS

HERMONE: I’m sorry Harry, Snape came out and asked me what I was doing. So I said I was waiting for Flitwick and Snape went to get him and I’ve only just got away. I don’t know where Snape went.

HARRY: Well that’s it then, isn’t it. I am going out of here tonight and I’m going to try and get to the stone first.

RON: You’re mad!

HERMIONE: You can’t! After what McGonagall and Snape said? You’ll be expelled!

HARRY: So what. Don’t you understand? If Snape gets hold of the stone, Voldemorts coming back! Haven’t you heard what is was like when he was trying to take over?. Losing points doesn’t matter anymore, can’t you see? I’m going through the trap door tonight and nothing you two say is going to stop me! Voldemort killed my parents, remember?

HERMIONE AND RON: You’re right Harry.

HARRY: I’ll use the invisibility cloak. It is just lucky I got it back.

HERMIONE: But will it cover all three of us?

HARRY: All three of us?

RON: Oh come off it, you don’t think we would let you go alone?

HERMIONE: Of course not. How do you think you would get to the stone without us? I’d better go look through my books, there might be something useful.

HARRY: But if we get caught, you two will be expelled too.

HERMIONE: Not if I can help it.

NARRATOR: Harry got the cloak, and the wooden flute that Hagrid had given him. And they were ready to go when Neville came through the door into the common room.

NEVILL: What are you doing?

HERMIONE: Nothing, Neville, Nothing.

NEVILL: Your going out again?

HARRY: No. no.

NEVILL: You can’t go out. you’ll be caught. Gryffindor will be in even more trouble

RON: You don’t understand, this is important!

NEVILL: I won’t let you do it, I’ll-I’ll fight you!

HARRY: Neville, get away from the door, don’t be an idiot

NEVILL: Don’t call me an idiot don’t think you should be breaking any more rules! And you were the one who told me to stand up to people!

HARRY: Yes, but not us! HARRY TURNS TO HERMOINE Do something!

HERMIONE: Neville, I’m really, really sorry about this, but –Bindo totalas!

NEVILL FREEZES, AND HE ENDS UP LEANING AGAINST THE WALL. THEY REACH THE CORRIDOR AND FIND THE DOOR ALREADY AJAR

HARRY: Well, there you are. The door is open- Snape has already gotten past Fluffy. If you want to go back, I won't blame you,

RON: Don’t be stupid.

HERMIONE: We’re coming with you. NOW PLAY THE FLUTE, SO THAT FLUFFY GOES TO SLEEP, AND WE CAN GO THROOUGH THE TRAP DOOR

HARRY PUTS THE FLUTE TO HIS LIPS AND BLOWS

RON: Keep playing. I think we will be able to pull the door open. Want to go first Hermoine?

HERMIONE: No, I don’t.

RON: All right.

PULLS THE DOOR OPEN

HERMIONE: What can you see?

RON: Nothing, just black, there is no way of climbing down, we’ll just have to drop.

HARRY WAVES AT RON, THEN POINTS TO HIMSELF

RON: You want to go first? Are you sure? I don’t know how deep this thing goes. Give the flute to Hermoine so she can keep him asleep.

HARRY: If anything happens to me, don’t follow. Go straight to the owlery and send Hedwig to Dumbledor.

RON: Right.

HARRY: See you in a minute, I hope.

HARRY DROPS THROUGH THE TRAP DOOR

HARRY: It’s ok, it’s a soft landing, you can jump.

RON AND HERMIONE GO THROUGH TRAP DOOR

NARRATOR: They all land on a type of plant, called Devil’s Snare, which tries to grow around them and choke them, but Hermione performs a spell, and it shrinks back, untangling them. Next, they advance on to a room, where there appear to be a large bunch of birds flying about.. but they aren’t birds, they are keys that have been enchanted to fly, and only one of them will unlock the door to the next room. The three friends catch the right key and advance in to the next chamber, which contains a gigantic chessboard, and chessmen, which they must take the places of, and play their way across the room. However, for the trio to win, Ron must allow himself to be "taken" and knocked unconscious by the opposing queen. Therefore, it is only Harry and Hermione who advance into the next room, where they find a dead troll, and again into the next room, were, upon their entering, the door closes, and is covered by a purple flame. The door into the next room is blocked by a black fire. In the room is a table, with seven bottles of potion, and a scroll.

PULLS OPEN NEXT DOOR BOTH SIGH AND GO IN AS DOOR CLOSES PURPLE FIRE SPRINGS UP BEHIND THEM BLACK FLAMES SPRING UP IN FRONT OF THEM. THERE IS A TABLE AND SEVEN DIFFERENT SIZED BEAKERS OF POTIONS

HERMIONE: Look! POINTS TO PAPER NEAR THE BEAKERS

Danger lies before you, while safety lies behind,

Two of us will help you, which ever you would find,

One among us seven will let you move ahead,

Another will transport the drinker back instead,

Two among our number hold only nettle wine,

Three of us are killers, waiting hidden in the line.

Choose, unless you wish to stay here forever more,

To help you in your choice, we give you these clues four:

First however slyly the poison tries to hide

You will always find some on nettle wine's left side;

Second, different are those that stand at either end,

But if you would move onward, neither is your friend;

Third, as you see clearly, all are different size,

Neither dwarf nor giant hold death in their insides;

Fourth the second left and second on the right

Are twins once you taste them, though different at first sight.

HERMOINE LETS OUT SIGH AND SMILES

HERMIONE: Brilliant this isn't magic - its logic - a puzzle. A lot of the greatest wizards haven't got an ounce of logic, they'd be stuck here forever.

HARRY: But so will we, won't we?

HERMIONE: Of course not. Everything we need is here on this paper. Seven bottles: three are poison, two are wine one will get us safely through the black fire, and one will get us through the purple.

HARRY: But how do we know which to drink?

HERMIONE: Give me a minute.

READS PAPER AGAIN, AND WALKS UP AND DOWN LINE OF BOTTLES CLAPS HANDS

HERMIONE: Got it. The smallest bottle will get us through the black fire - toward the stone.

HARRY PICKS UP THE SMALL BOTTLE

HARRY: There's only enough for one of us. That's hardly one swallow. LOOK AT EACH OTHER. Which will get you back through the purple flames?

HERMOINE POINTS AT THE BOTTLE AT THE RIGHT END OF THE LINE

HARRY: You drink that, go back and get Ron. and send Hedwig to Dumbledor, we need him. I might be able to hold Snape off for awhile, but I'm no match for him, really.

HERMIONE: But Harry, what if you-know-who's with him?

HARRY: Well, I was lucky once, wasn't I? I might get lucky again.

HERMOINE DASHES TO HARRY AND CLUTCHES HIS HAND

HERMIONE: Harry, you're a great wizard, you know.

HARRY: I'm not as good as you.

HERMOINE LETS GO OF HARRY'S HAND

HERMIONE: Me! Books! And Cleverness! There are more important things, friendship and bravery and oh, Harry be careful!

HARRY: You drink first

PICKS UP BOTTLE AND TAKES A DRINK. SHE SHUDDERS

HERMIONE: It's like ice.

HARRY: Quick, go, before it wears off.

HERMIONE: Good luck.

HERMOINE TURNS AND WALKS THROUGH PURPLE FIRE. HARRY TAKES DEEP BREATH PICKS UP SMALLEST BOTTLE AND TURNS TOWARD BLACK FLAMES

HARRY: Here I come.

DRINKS ALL OF FLUID IN LITTLE BOTTLE. WALKS THROUGH BLACK FIRE, AND GOES INTO NEXT ROOM.

NARRATOR: Harry steps through the flames, and finds in the room the Mirror of Erised, and……. Professor Quirrle, the defense against the dark arts teacher. Harry is very surprised, but manages to control himself. Quirrel is trying to get the mirror of erised to give him the stone, but to no avail. Harry however realizes that the thing that he wants most in the world is to find the sorcerer’s stone before Quirrle does, so the mirror should show him finding it. Harry is correct. The mirror magic's the stone into his back pocket! But Professor Quirrle begins to unwrap the turban that he always wears, and turns his back to harry. There, on the back of his head is Voldemort, the dark wizard, who demands that harry give him the stone. Harry refuses, and Voldemort attempts to curse him, but at that very moment, just as Voldemort is about to finish him off, Dumbledor arrives, and saves harry, who is then taken up to the hospital wing,

Scene twenty three

HARRY IS IN BED WITH WHITE SHEETS. DUMBLEDORE IS SITTING ON A CHAIR BY HIS SIDE. HARRY BLINKS HIS EYES, DUMBLEDORE SMILES.

DUMBLEDOR: Good afternoon, Harry.

HARRY: Sir! The stone! It was Quirrle! He's got the stone! Sir, quick-

DUMBLEDOR: Calm yourself, dear boy, you are a little behind the times. Quarrel does not have the stone. You have been in here three days. Mister Weasely and Miss Granger will be most relieved you have come round, they have been extremely worried.

Harry: But sir, the stone-

DUMBLEDOR: Very well, the stone. Professor Quirrell did not manage to take it from you. I arrived just in time to prevent that, although you were doing very well on your own, I must say. I feared I might be too late.

HARRY: You nearly were, I couldn't have kept him off the stone much longer-

DUMBLEDOR: No the stone, boy, you- the effort nearly killed you. For one terrible moment, I was afraid it had. As for the stone, it has been destroyed.

HARRY: Sir? I have been thinking even if the stone is gone, Vole-, I mean you-know-who-

DUMBLEDOR: Call him Voldemort Harry. Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases a fear of a thing itself.

HARRY: Yes, sir. Well, Voldemort IS going to try other ways of coming back, isn't he? I mean he hasn't gone has he?

DUMBLEDOR: No, Harry, he has not. He is still out there somewhere,. Not being truly alive, he cannot be killed. If he is delayed again, as you have delayed him, and again, why, he may never return to power.

HARRY: The invisibility cloak, were you the one who sent it to me?

DUMBLEDOR: Your father left it in my possession, and I thought that you might like it. Useful things, aren’t they?

HARRY: And there's something else.

DUMBLEDORE: Fire away.

HARRY: How did I get the stone out of the mirror?

DUMBLEDOR: You see, only one that wanted to find the stone, find it, but not use it would be able to get it. And now, Harry, I must go.

NARRATOR: Ah, well. Harry was doing quite well, and as I predicted, Mr. Weasley and Miss Granger were very happy to see him later that day. And now to the end of the year feast.

HARRY WALKS IN TO THE DOOR AND SITS DOWN AT THE GRYFFINDOR TABLE

THE HALL WAS DECORATED IN GREEN AND SILVER; SLYTHERIN COLORS DUMBLEDOR STANDS UP TO MAKE SPEECH

DUMBLEDOR: Another year gone! Now, as I understand, the house cup, THE GREATEST HONOR that can be awarded to Hogwarts students needs awarding. The way that points tally up now are as follows:

Gryffindor: 312

Hufflepuff: 352

Ravenclaw: 426

Slytherin: 472

However, recent events must be taken in to account.

To Mr. Ronald Weasley, for the best game of chess that Hogwarts has seen in years I award Gryffindor 50 points. To Miss Hermoine Granger, for the use of cool logic in the face of fire. I award Gryffindor 50 points. To Mr. Harry Potter, for pure nerve, and outstanding courage, I award Gryffindor 60 points. There are all kinds of courage. It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends. I therefore award 10 points to Mr. Neville Longbottom.

NARRATOR: EVERYONE STARTS SCREAMING IN PURE JOY, BECAUSE SLYTHERIN HAS LOST THE HOUSE CUP AND GRYFFINDOR HAS WON!

DUMBLEDOR: Which means we need to award the cup to GRYFFINDOR HOUSE!

DUMBLEDORE CLAPS HIS HANDS, AND THE DECORATIONS TURN TO RED AND GOLD

NARRATOR: Ah yes, that was a wonderful year. As I told Harry, Voldemort isn't gone, but Harry has served a most important part in delaying his return. And breaking about every rule in the Hogwarts rule book I might add. So Harry is back with the Dursleys for the summer, and WILL BE BACK AT HOGWARTS FOR ANOTHER YEAR NEXT YEAR, BUT THAT IS A WHOLE ‘NOTHER STORY.
