Goofs

Continuity: During the scene in which Harry consumes the Felix Felicis, he empties the entire vial into his mouth. However, in the following shot when he is holding the vial between his hands and is speaking to Hermione and Ron, the vial is completely full with the stopper still on. Revealing mistakes: Several times throughout the movie, Harry's glasses clearly have no lens in them. They are just the frames. This is clearly evident when Harry and Ron Weasley are lying in bed and Harry is looking at the map showing the foot prints. The rest of the scenes show the glasses having lenses in them. Revealing mistakes: During the Quidditch match, when Ron is celebrating a save, the wind blows his robes and you can clearly see the bicycle-like seat attached to his broom. Continuity: In the scene in the 3 Broomsticks pub, Slughorn spills some of his drink on the table and on Hermione. But a minute later when we see the table filmed from the side Slughorn was on, the table is dry, with no one taking out a wand to magically clean it up. Continuity: SPOILER: In the last scenes of Dumbledore in the tower his beard was untied then a few seconds later was tied for the remainder of the scene. Revealing mistakes: SPOILER: Near the end of the film, when Harry is lying on the ground outside Hagrid's cabin, Snape kicks Harry's wand away from his hand. When he does so, a square of neon tape is clearly seen, almost right in the middle of the shot, where Harry's wand was placed, so that actor Alan Rickman would know where to kick. Revealing mistakes: When Professor McGonagall is examining the cursed necklace, she is standing in front of a window. During several of the shots you can see right through her. Continuity: During the first gathering at Hogwarts in the hall, the main entrance is closed while Dumbledore is speaking. When the camera changes, it is positioned outside in the corridor meaning the door opened somehow within seconds. Continuity: In the 3 Broomsticks, before Professor Slughorn spills his drink, from different angles it goes from having a foamy head to no head. FAIR: Although the books take place in the mid-1990s, no such chronology is given in the movies, allowing the Millennium Bridge in London (built 1998-2000) to appear. On a similar note, the movies' biographical or age information about certain characters may vary from the books, but is not an internal goof. Continuity: When Harry and Slughorn go visit Hagrid, Hagrid sits with a wine bottle and an earthenware goblet and Slughorn has only a goblet on his side of the table. At the end of the visit, Slughorn's goblet magically appears right next to Hagrid's goblet on his side of the table. Continuity: During the Felix Felicis scene, when Slughorn gives it to Harry, he is holding it with his hand below the bottle. In the next clip, his hand is above it. FAIR: According to the last movie, you need to know the purpose of the Room of Requirement to be able to access it. Harry and Ginny were looking for a place to hide the book, so the Room allowed them access. FAIR: During the scene when Dumbledore first introduces Harry to Professor Slughorn, Slughorn's robe changes color more than once. However, this is due to the florescent lighting outside of Slughorn's home. FAIR: Dumbledore has Riddle's diary in his possession. At the end of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), Dobby dropped the book to rescue Harry from Lucius Malfoy's wrath. The book was left on the floor, meaning that someone could return the book to the headmaster's office. FAIR: SPOILER: At the end of the movie when everyone is holding their wands skyward in tribute, many have thought to see Hagrid holding someone's else's wand up. But that hand, if you look very closely, is not of Hagrid, but of a student placed higher up the hill close to him! FAIR: When Harry first has the Half Blood Prince's potions book, his signature is in the front of the book. When Ginny takes it from him, she reads his signature from the back. However, the book may have been signed at the back and the front as later in the film we see the words written in two different styles suggesting multiple instances. Continuity: In the first scene of Dumbledore and Harry's lessons, at the beginning of the scene, you can clearly see that Dumbledore is wearing his glasses, but when Harry enters the room a minute later, Dumbledore is not wearing them. Continuity: The potions book which Harry gets from Slughorn's cupboard has the words "This book is property of the Half-Blood Prince" clearly handwritten on the first page. In a later shot the handwriting changes to a more print-like font. FAIR: The 'wheat/corn' outside the Burrow at Christmas is actually a reed bed, which can definitely grow to the height shown in the film in winter in Britain. CHAR: During the Quidditch match, Hermione is wearing a green wool cap. This implies that she is a supporter of the Slytherin Quidditch team. She should have been wearing a maroon cap. FAIR: In theory, no one can Apparate into or out of Hogwarts as Dumbledore does in the last act. However, Dumbledore has secret information to override that particular magic. In fact, Harry points out this seeming problem and Dumbledore says, "There are advantages to being me." Revealing mistakes: In the scene with Hagrid and Professor Slughorn, you can see them both moving their hands when talking. Slughorn's hand often disappears/seems to go right through Hagrid's arm. A graphics error as they would not have been filmed together due to sizing issues. Continuity: During the destruction of the Millennium Bridge: to begin with the bridge is full of people, including a lot of school children, walking across. As the bridge begins to wobble, people start to trip up and fall down. When we see the bridge from above, as it is destroyed seconds later, there aren't any people on it. FAIR: In 1 or 2 scenes in the dining hall, Lavender Brown is shown sitting at a different table across from Ron Weasley. They were both in Gryffindor, so they should be at the same table. However, it is not uncommon for students to be seated at other Houses' tables. In a particular scene where Lavender is seated at a different table, she is mad at Ron. This is probably why she chose not to sit at the Gryffindor table. Continuity: SPOILER: In the scene where Hagrid is mourning over Aragog's dead body, Harry stands next to him. If you look closer, you'll notice that in faraway shots, Harry's head is clearly above Hagrid's elbow. However, in the closer shots, his head is below Hagrid's elbows. Continuity: SPOILER: In the establishing shot right before Snape casts Avada Kedavra the tower's safety railing is clearly visible directly behind Dumbledore. But when the camera cuts to Harry's perspective of Dumbledore being hit by the spell, the railing has disappeared and Dumbledore falls right off the edge of the tower where the railing had been. Continuity: Near the beginning of the movie, when Harry, Hermione, and Ron are sitting on the floor talking in Ron's room at the Burrow, the position of Hermione's legs changes frequently from cut to cut. Continuity: After Harry scoops up a sip of potion from the basin, there is still a scoopful left in the basin. However, after Dumbledore drinks it , the basin appears to be empty and Harry grabs the locket from the empty basin. FAIR: In the beginning of the movie, the waitress says that she gets off work at 11 o'clock, but soon after in professor Slughorn's home, all the clocks say 10:35. However, they stay at 10.35 throughout the scene, which lasts several minutes, suggesting the clocks are broken. Continuity: When Harry and Dumbledore stop and stand side by side before approaching the house where Horace Slughorn is hiding, the top of Harry's head is below Dumbledore's shoulder when they show them from behind. In the next scene we see them from the front and Harry is now clearly much taller as his nose is at Dumbledore's shoulder and they do not appear to have moved. Revealing mistakes: In the Weasley Brothers' shop scene, when they are showing Harry the Instant Darkness powder, an FX layer over the case holding the powder (meant to darken the case from a dull gray to true black) is clearly visible, extends beyond the bounds of the case and moves a bit during the shot. FAIR: SPOILER: In the previous movies and books, Avada Kedevra is green. However, when Snape kills Dumbledore, it is blue. However, this may have been intentional, for reasons to be revealed in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part II (2011), or the lighting around the room and under the moonlight changed the appearance. CHAR: On leaving the house, Professor Slughorn says that he needs a "pay raise" (American term) rather than the British "pay rise". CHAR: When Harry first meets Slughorn he states the house belongs to Muggles who are in the Canary Islands. After Dumbledore goes to the loo he brings back a knitting magazine and asks Slughorn if he can have it. Since this house belongs to Muggles it wasn't Slughorn's magazine to give. Continuity: During the Gryffindor Quidditch try-outs, Ginny's hair changes positions. Specifically, when Harry is talking to the team with Ginny next to him. FAIR: In previous films the Weasley home is surrounded by trees, while in this movie it is located in the middle of a huge empty field, so many have wanted to label this change as a goof (even if this clearly is a deliberate artistic change by the producers). However, we must bear in mind that the residents at the Burrow are a family of _wizards_! Hence, the work of removing some trees (or even transfiguring?) and boosting the growth of crop in the course of a winter shouldn't seem far-fetched at all in that context. FAIR: When Slughorn asks Hermione what her parents' professions are, she responds dentists and he does not seem to know what that is. This at first seems to contradict what we learn in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), where the clock in Weasley's home lists "dentist" as a possible location. But Arthur Weasley has a huge passion for anything to do with muggles, so while his family recognises the concept of dentists, it may not be a widespread knowledge among the wizarding community. Besides, prof. Slughorn is of an entirely different breed & generation, making his bewilderment even more plausible. FAIR: Some have suggested Aragog is a great deal smaller in this movie than he was in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), but this only true to an extent, as spiders generally shrivel up pretty fast after dying. Add to this the fact that the persons around him this time around are quite a bit taller, plus the angles at which we saw him in his first appearance really complementing his statue while alive, and we have a very reasonable change which doesn't indicate any mistake or error by the filmmakers. Continuity: When Hermione runs downstairs and she's sitting with the birds flying around her we can clearly count five birds. Later when Ron comes in with Lavender and she sends the "Apugno" spell to Ron, very fast we can count six birds and six birds hit the door behind Ron. Continuity: In the scene where Harry and Malfoy have their spell-fight in the bathroom, Harry knocks Malfoy to the floor using the 'Sectumsempra' spell. He approaches Malfoy along a row of urinals and Snape brushes past him from behind. After Snape brushes past, a figure can be seen at the far end of the row of urinals behind Harry. Although blurry, this figure looks a lot like Malfoy, who is meant to be on the floor in front of Harry. Continuity: When Harry's things arrive at the burrow Ginny asks if Mrs Weasley, Ron, or Hermione have seen him and they are all on different levels of the house.Yet when Harry is standing in the kitchen with Ginny, they all get to the bottom of the stairs at the same time. Continuity: In the scene where Harry's potions class is brewing the Draught of Living Death, right as Seamus' potion blows up in his face, Dean Thomas' head instantly changes position, clearly as a result of a cut. Revealing mistakes: On the first train ride, back to Hogwarts, when Harry is talking to Ron and Hermione, the train is moving forward. When we see Malfoy talking to his friends, the train is moving backward. CHAR: The title says "Half-Blood", but the writing in the prop book says "Half Blood" (without the hyphen). Revealing mistakes: At the beginning when Harry and Dumbledore first disapparate, there is a full shot of them walking up to the entrance of the house. In this full shot, you can see Dumbledore's shoes sticking out of his robe as he walks, only he is actually wearing those blue bags on his shoes, the ones they wear in between takes so as not to damage the set floors. CHAR: During the scene in Professor Slughorn's lesson, the students are told to make a Draught of Living Death, the recipe for which "can be found on page 10". During the lesson, it is quite clear that Hermione has her book open somewhere in the middle (circa page 200). CHAR: When Harry opens the prince's book after the scene which Ginny takes the book from him and reads aloud "This book is property of the Half-Blood Prince" the camera goes through pages of the book and there's a page in which we see "Sectumpsempra. For Enemies". The first word is "Sectumsempra" not "SectumPsempra". Continuity: In the scene where Harry is at Hagrid's hut, Hagrid said that he knew Aragog from an egg. However, in the Chamber of Secrets, Aragog said that he came to the castle in the pocket of a traveler. Continuity: In the Three Broomsticks, the level of butterbeer in Hermione's glass changes between shots, for example becoming fuller after she's drunk some of it. |

Albus Dumbledore: [after Harry confusedly finishes viewing a memory from Dumbledore's pensieve] Confused? I'd be surprised if you weren't. Harry Potter: Well, I don't understand. What happened? Albus Dumbledore: This is perhaps the most important memory I've collected. It is also a lie. This memory has been tampered with by the same person whose memory it is, our old friend, Professor Slughorn. Harry Potter: But why would he tamper with his own memory? Albus Dumbledore: I suspect he's ashamed of it. Harry Potter: Why? Albus Dumbledore: Why, indeed? I asked you to get to know Professor Slughorn, and you have done so. Now I want you to persuade him to divulge his true memory any way you can. Harry Potter: I don't know him that well, sir. Albus Dumbledore: This memory is everything. Without it, we are blind. Without it, we leave the fate of our world to chance. You have no choice. You must not fail. Harry Potter: Is that what you told Tom Riddle, when he came asking questions? Horace Slughorn: [Disgusted] Dumbledore put you up to this, didn't he? Didn't he? Hermione Granger: Do you honestly expect you can just walk up to him and ask for his deepest, darkest secret? Albus Dumbledore: You must be wondering why I brought you here. Harry Potter: Actually sir, after all these years I just sort of go with it. Hermione Granger: [after she sees Ron accepting an embarrassing necklace from Lavender] Excuse me, I have to go vomit. Ginny Weasley: Take my hand. Albus Dumbledore: This is beyond anything I have imagined. Hermione Granger: You have to realize who you are, Harry. Arthur Weasley: Harry, no! Albus Dumbledore: [about Hermione] Are you and her...?

Had ourselves a little late night snack, did we? Ron Weasley: It was on your bed, the box, I just thought I'd try one. Harry Potter: Or twenty. Ron Weasley: I can't stop thinking about her, Harry. Harry Potter: Honestly, you know, I reckon she was starting to annoy you. Ron Weasley: She could never annoy me. I think I love her. Harry Potter: Oh... brilliant. Ron Weasley: Do you think she knows I exist? Harry Potter: Well, I'd bloody well hope so, she's been snogging you for three months. Ron Weasley: Snogging? Who are you talking about? Harry Potter: Who are you talking about? Ron Weasley: Romilda, of course. Romilda Vane. Harry Potter: Okay, very funny. Ron Weasley: [throws the chocolates box at Harry] Harry Potter: What was that for? Ron Weasley: It's no joke! I'm in love with her! Harry Potter: Alright, fine, you're in love with her! Have you ever actually met her? Ron Weasley: No... Can you introduce me? [first lines] Bellatrix Lestrange: [faded voiceover] I killed Sirius Black! Horace Slughorn: What about you, Miss Granger? What do your parents do in the muggle world? Hermione Granger: Ah, my parents are dentists. Horace Slughorn: And is that considered a dangerous profession? Severus Snape: [looking at Draco] I will escort him out. Draco Malfoy: [glaring at Snape] Certainly - Professor. Horace Slughorn: [showing Harry pictures] I taught the whole Black family, except Sirius, it's a shame. I got Regulus when he came around of course, but I would have liked the set. Professor Minerva McGonagall: Potter, take Weasley with you. He looks far too happy over there. Narcissa Malfoy: [to Bellatrix] Don't you dare blame my husband! Narcissa Malfoy: [to Snape] Severus... my son... my only son. Bellatrix Lestrange: Draco should be proud. The Dark Lord is granting him a great honor. Bellatrix Lestrange: [to Narcissa] Cissy, wait! You must not do this! You can't trust him! Harry Potter: But, Sir, I thought we weren't allowed to apparate on Hogwarts' grounds. Albus Dumbledore: Well, being me... has its privileges. Remus Lupin: You're blinded by hatred. Harry Potter: No I'm not! Remus Lupin: Yes you are! Katie Bell: I know you're going to ask me Harry, but I don't know who cursed me. I've been trying to remember, honestly. But I just can't. Ron Weasley: [to Hermione and Ginny] He'll be here, soon. [starts eating] Hermione Granger: [smacks him on the arm with a book] Will you stop eating? Your best friend is missing! Ron Weasley: Turn around, you lunatic! [Hermione and Ginny looks towards the Great Hall door and sees Harry covered in blood] Ginny Weasley: He's covered in blood again. Why is it he's always covered in blood? Ron Weasley: Well, it looks like it's his own this time. Argus Filch: [Holding Malfoy] Professor Slughorn, sir. I've just discovered this boy lurking in an upstairs corridor. He claims to be invited to your party. Draco Malfoy: Ok! Ok! I was gate crashing. Happy? Harry Potter: [for Quidditch tryouts] Okay, so this morning I'm going to be putting you all though a few drills, just to set things straight. [everyone is talking] Harry Potter: Quiet, please. [everybody's still taking] Ginny Weasley: [shouts] Shut It! [everyone is silent] Harry Potter: Thanks. Albus Dumbledore: Ah, Harry... you need a shave, my friend. [after telling Harry to close his eyes, Ginny hides his book somewhere in the Room of Requirement, then comes back, and gives him a soft kiss on the lips] Ginny Weasley: That can stay hidden up here too, if you like. [a short time later, Harry is walking down the hallway, in a daze. Ron appears beside him] Ron Weasley: So, did you and Ginny do it? Harry Potter: [alarmed] What? Ron Weasley: Did you hide the book? Ron Weasley: [about Hermione] Did you hear her talk about me and her snogging? As if... Albus Dumbledore: [holding up a Muggle magazine] Horace, do you mind if I take this? I do love knitting patterns. Ron Weasley: How much are these? Fred Weasley, George Weasley: 5 galleons. Ron Weasley: How much for me? Fred Weasley, George Weasley: 5 galleons. Ron Weasley: I'm your brother! Fred Weasley, George Weasley: 10 galleons. Horace Slughorn: [talking to Harry about his fish] It was a student who gave me Francis. One day I came down to my office, and there was a bowl with only a few inches of clear water in it. And there was a flower petal floating on the water. Before my eyes it started to sink, and just before it hit the bottom, it transformed into a wee fish. It was a beautiful piece of magic, wondrous to behold. The flower petal was from a lily. The day Francis disappeared was the day your mother... Severus Snape: Run along, Wormtail! [He waves his wand at the door, slamming it and knocking Wormtail back] Horace Slughorn: [shocked] Harry! Harry Potter: [imitating Slughorn and hyper from the Felix potion] Sir! Severus Snape: [Snape has just walked in on Harry and Cormac. Harry attempts to run away] Not... so fast, Potter. Harry Potter: Sorry, sir, but I really should be getting back to the party. My date... Severus Snape: Can surely survive another minute without you. Besides, I only wish to convey a message. Harry Potter: Sorry I made you miss the carriages by the way, Luna. Luna Lovegood: That's all right, it's like being with a friend. Harry Potter: Oh, I am your friend, Luna. Luna Lovegood: That's nice. [last lines] Harry Potter: I never noticed how beautiful this place is. Severus Snape: [Cormac throws up on Snape's shoes] You've just earned yourself detention for a month, McClaggen. Horace Slughorn: Thank you for the pineapple, you're quite right, it is my favorite - but how did you know? Tom Riddle - Age 16: Intuition. Ginny Weasley: [she and Harry are in the Room of Requirement. Ginny takes the book from Harry so she can hide it] Close your eyes so you won't be tempted Draco Malfoy: [stomping on Harry's nose] That was for my father. [covers Harry with his Invisibility Cloak] Enjoy your trip back to London! Harry Potter: [chasing after Snape after Snape killed Dumbledore] Snape! He trusted you! Draco Malfoy: Nice face, Potter! Luna Lovegood: I've never been to this part of the castle. Well, not awake. I sleepwalk, you see. That's why I wear shoes to bed. Horace Slughorn: [in regard to returning to Hogwarts] All right, I'll do it! But I want Professor Merrythought's office, not that water closet I had before. And I want a raise, these are mad times we live in. MAD! Professor Minerva McGonagall: [to Harry, Ron, & Hermione] Why is it, that whenever anything happens, it's always you three? Ron Weasley: Believe me, Professor. I've been asking myself that same question for the past six years. Rubeus Hagrid: Seriously misunderstood creatures, spiders are. It's the eyes, I reckon, they unnerve some folk. Harry Potter: Not to mention the pincers... [clicks his tongue while miming pincers biting] Harry Potter: What happens when you break an Unbreakable Vow? Ron Weasley: You die. Horace Slughorn: Harry! I must insist you accompany me back to the castle immediately! Harry Potter: That would be counterproductive, sir! Horace Slughorn: What makes you say that? Harry Potter: No idea! Professor Minerva McGonagall: Mr. Davis! Mr. Davis, that is the girls' lavatory. Ron Weasley: [about the Half-Blood Prince's book] He even sleeps with it. Harry Potter: I don't sleep with it! Neville Longbottom: [serving drinks at Slughorn's Christmas party] I didn't get into the Slug Club. It's okay, though. He's got Belby handing out towels in the loo. Ron Weasley: You heard Snape say he's made an Unbreakable Vow? Harry Potter: Yes. What does it mean? Ron Weasley: Well, you can't break an Unbreakable Vow! Harry Potter: [sarcastic] I worked that much out for myself, funny enough. Bellatrix Lestrange: [walking into the astronomy tower followed by Death Eaters] Well look what we have here. Dumbledore wandless, alone and cornered in his own castle! Well done, Draco! Albus Dumbledore: Good evening, Bellatrix. I think introductions are called for. Bellatrix Lestrange: Love to, Albus, but I'm afraid we're on a bit of a tight schedule. [to Draco] Bellatrix Lestrange: Do it! Fenrir Greyback: He doesn't have the stomach, like his father. Let me finish him in my own way. Bellatrix Lestrange: No! The Dark Lord was clear, the boy's to do it. Ron Weasley: [about Ginny and Dean] What do you think he sees in her? Harry Potter: She's smart... funny... attractive... Ron Weasley: Attractive? Harry Potter: Well you know... she has nice... skin. Ron Weasley: So you think he is going out with her because she has nice skin? Harry Potter: Well, I dunno, I'm just saying it could be a contributing factor. Ron Weasley: Hermione's got nice skin. You know, as far as skin goes. Harry Potter: I-I've never thought about it before. But now that you mention it, yeah. Very nice. Harry Potter: [long pause]... I think I'll be going to bed now. Remus Lupin: Has it occurred to you Harry, that Snape was simply pretending to offer Draco help so he could find out what he was up to? Harry Potter: That's not what it sounded like. Nymphadora Tonks: Perhaps Harry's right, Remus. I mean, to make an Unbreakable Vow... Remus Lupin: It comes down to whether or not you trust Dumbledore. Dumbledore trusts Snape, therefore I do. Narcissa Malfoy: I know I'm not to be here. The Dark Lord himself forbid me to speak of this... Severus Snape: If the Dark Lord has forbidden it, you are not to speak... [Snape turns to Bellatrix fooling around with his things] Severus Snape: Put it down, Bella. We mustn't touch what isn't ours. [to Narcissa] As it so happens, I'm aware of your situation. Bellatrix Lestrange: You? The Dark Lord told you? Severus Snape: Your sister doubts me. Over the years I've played my part well, so well I've deceived one of the greatest wizards of all time. Bellatrix Lestrange: [Snarling] Huh! Severus Snape: Dumbledore *is* a great wizard. Only a fool would question it. Narcissa Malfoy: I don't doubt you Severus. Bellatrix Lestrange: [Walking around] You should be honored Cissy, as should Draco. Narcissa Malfoy: ...He's just a boy. Severus Snape: I can't change the Dark Lord's mind. But it might be possible for me to help Draco. Narcissa Malfoy: [Getting up] Severus... Bellatrix Lestrange: Swear to it... make the Unbreakable Vow. [Walking over to Snape] Bellatrix Lestrange: It's just empty words. He'll give it his best effort, when it maters most. He'll just slither back into his hole... coward. Severus Snape: [coldly] Take-out-your-wand. [Cut to Snape and Narcissa clasping hands, as Bellatrix circles them, holding her wand] Bellatrix Lestrange: Will you, Severus Snape, watch over Draco Malfoy, as he attempts to fulfill the Dark Lord's wishes? Severus Snape: I will. Bellatrix Lestrange: And will you, to the best of your ability, protect him from harm? Severus Snape: I will. Bellatrix Lestrange: And, if Draco should fail, will you yourself carry out the deed the Dark Lord has ordered Draco to perform? Severus Snape: I will. Harry Potter: [talking to Slughorn] Be brave, Professor. Be brave like my mother... Otherwise, you disgrace her. Otherwise, she died for nothing. Otherwise, the bowl will remain empty... forever. Horace Slughorn: Exactly how did you get out of the castle, Harry? Harry Potter: Through the front door sir. Horace Slughorn: [during Aragog's funeral] Farewell, Aragog. King of the arachnids. Your body will decay... but your spirit lingers on and your human friends find solace, the loss they have sustained. Rubeus Hagrid: [talking about Aragog] I had him from an egg, you know? Tiny little thing he was when he hatched. No bigger than a Pekingese. A Pekingese, mind you! Horace Slughorn: How sweet! I once had a fish... Francis. He was very dear to me. One afternoon, I came downstairs and... it vanished. Poof. Rubeus Hagrid: That's very odd, isn't it? Horace Slughorn: Yes, doesn't it? But that's life! I suppose, you - you go along with and suddenly... poof. Rubeus Hagrid: Poof. Harry Potter: Poof. Albus Dumbledore: Draco, please let me help you! Draco Malfoy: [crying] I don't need your help! I have to do this! I have to kill you... or he's gonna kill me! Horace Slughorn: I would have thought an expert potion-maker like yourself could whip up an antidote for a love potion in no time, Harry? Harry Potter: Well, sir, I think this called for a more practiced hand. Ron Weasley: [throws his arms around Slughorn] Hello, darling. Fancy a drink? Horace Slughorn: Perhaps you're right. Ginny Weasley: [Hermione is holding hands with an unconscious Ron in the hospital wing. Ginny gets up and walks past Harry] About time, don't you think? Hermione Granger: [Harry looks at Hermione] Oh, shut up. [Hermione turns back to Ron, smiling coyly] Waiter: [Hermione hides from Cormac at the Christmas party. Waiter offers hors d'oeuvres] Dragon tartare? Hermione Granger: No, thank you. Harry Potter: I'm fine. Waiter: Just as well. They give you terrible bad breath. Hermione Granger: On second thought... [grabs the tray and gobbles two] Maybe they'll keep McLaggen at bay... oh, God, here he comes! Cormac McLaggen: No hard feelings, eh, Weasley? Ron Weasley: What do you mean? Cormac McLaggen: I'll be trying out for Gryffindor Keeper too. Nothing personal. Ron Weasley: Really? Big, strapping fellow like you? You look like you've got more of a Beater's build to me. I mean, to be Keeper, you've got to be a quick and agile sort... [McLaggen snatches a fly buzzing around Ron's head with his fingers] Cormac McLaggen: I like my chances. By the way, think you could introduce me to your friend Granger? Wouldn't mind getting on a first-name basis with her, if you know what I mean... Ron Weasley: I must admit, I thought I was going to miss that last one. I hope Cormac's not taking it too hard. I think he's got a bit of a thing for you, Hermione, Cormac. Hermione Granger: [shortly] He's vile. Harry Potter: Incarcerous! [Snape blocks the curse] Harry Potter: Fight back!, you coward! Fight back! [Bellatrix shoots a curse at Harry] Severus Snape: No! He belongs to the Dark Lord! Harry Potter: Sectumsempra! [Snape blocks the curse again, throwing Harry onto his back] Severus Snape: You dare use my own spells against me, Potter? Yes. I'm the Half Blood Prince. Albus Dumbledore: [talking about Tom Riddle in the Great Hall] Every day, every hour, this very minute, perhaps, dark forces attempt to penetrate this castle's walls. [pause] Albus Dumbledore: But in the end, their greatest weapon... is you. Albus Dumbledore: Take my arm. [apparates] Harry Potter: I just apparated, didn't I? Albus Dumbledore: Indeed. Quite successfully, I might add. Most people vomit their first time. Harry Potter: [dry-heaving] I can't imagine why. Draco Malfoy: [looking at Harry's broken nose] Nice face, Potter! [Harry nods disdainfully; Luna pulls out her wand] Luna Lovegood: Would you like me to fix it for you? Personally, I think you look a little more devil-may-care this way, but it's up to you. Harry Potter: Um... have you ever fixed a nose before? Luna Lovegood: No. But I've done several toes, and how different are they, really? Harry Potter: ...Okay, yeah, sure, give it a go. Luna Lovegood: Episkey! [a loud crack] Harry Potter: Augh...! [rubs his nose gingerly; looks at Luna] Harry Potter: Well? How do I look? Luna Lovegood: Exceptionally ordinary. Harry Potter: ...Brilliant. [after exposing Slughorn's disguise] Albus Dumbledore: I must say, Horace, you make a very convincing armchair. Horace Slughorn: Oh, thank you. It's all in the details. You have to get the upholstery just right... [pats his stomach] Horace Slughorn: The stuffing is all mine. [Slughorn is snipping tentacular leaves through a window in the greenhouse; Harry, who is walking by, notices Slughorn and walks up behind him. Slughorn is startled] Horace Slughorn: Aaauughh!... Merlin's beard, Harry! Harry Potter: Oh, sorry, sir, I should've announced myself. Cleared my throat. Coughed. You probably feared I was Professor Sprout! Horace Slughorn: Yes, I did actually!... What made you think that? Harry Potter: Oh, well, just the general behavior, sir - the sneaking around, jumping when you saw me... Are those tentacular leaves, sir? They're very valuable, aren't they? Horace Slughorn: Ten Galleons a leaf to the right buyer!... Not that I'm familiar with any such back alley transactions, but one does hear rumors. My own interests are purely academic, of course. Harry Potter: Personally, these plants always kind of freak me out. [Harry and Luna are the last two students to arrive at the school] Professor Filius Flitwick: There you are! We've been looking everywhere for you two. [looks at his register] Professor Filius Flitwick: Now, names? Harry Potter: Professor Flitwick, you've known me for five years. Professor Filius Flitwick: [awkwardly] No exceptions... Potter. Hermione Granger: How does it feel, Harry? When you see Dean with Ginny? Harry Potter: [slightly taken aback] Oh. Um... Hermione Granger: I know. I've seen the way you look at her. You're my best friend. [Ron bursts in with Lavender, laughing, then sobers when he sees Hermione and Harry] Lavender Brown: Oops!... I think this room's taken. [runs off] Ron Weasley: [awkwardly]... What's with the birds? Hermione Granger: [stands, glares at Ron] Oppugno! [Hermione's flock of birds fly at Ron, who flees the room. Hermione sinks next to Harry and breaks down crying] Harry Potter: It feels like this. [Harry gulps down the Felix Felicis] Hermione Granger: How do you feel? Harry Potter: Excellent... really excellent! Hermione Granger: Remember, Slughorn usually eats early, takes a walk, and then returns to his office. Harry Potter: Right. I'm going down to Hagrid's. Hermione Granger: What? No! Harry, you've got to go speak to Slughorn! We have a plan. Harry Potter: I know, but I've got a really good feeling about Hagrid's. I feel like it's the place to be tonight. Do you know what I mean? Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley: No. Harry Potter: Trust me! I know what I'm doing, or Felix does. [walks past two people] Hi! Lavender Brown: [runs into the hospital wing, after Ron's been poisoned] Where is he? Where's my Won-Won? Has he been asking for me? [sees Hermione sitting next to Ron's bed] Lavender Brown: What is she doing here? Hermione Granger: [stands] I might ask you the same question! Lavender Brown: I happen to be his girlfriend! Hermione Granger: Well, I happen to be his... friend. Lavender Brown: Friend? Don't make me laugh! You haven't spoken in weeks. I guess you want to make up with him now that's he's suddenly all interesting! Hermione Granger: He's been poisoned, you daft dimbo! And as a matter of fact, I've always found him interesting. Severus Snape: Has it ever crossed your brilliant mind that I don't want to do this anymore? Albus Dumbledore: Whether it has or it hasn't is irrelevant; you gave me your word. Harry Potter: What brings you here, sir? Horace Slughorn: [good-naturedly/drunkenly] Oh, the Three Broomsticks and I go way back! Farther back than I care to admit! Ho ho ho... Why I can remember when it was just ONE Broomstick! [Slughorn chuckles and spills his drink all over the table, splashing Hermione; she jumps away] Horace Slughorn: Whoops! All hands on deck, there, Granger! Albus Dumbledore: Severus... please... Severus Snape: [Pointing his wand at Dumbledore] Avada Kedavra! [Light shoots out of his wand, killing Dumbledore] [Harry is reading a newspaper] Waitress: "Harry Potter." Who's Harry Potter? Harry Potter: Oh, no one. Bit of a tosser, really. Mrs. Cole: I must admit to some confusion receiving your letter, Professor Dumbledore. In all the years Tom's been here, he's never once had a family visitor. There have been... incidents with the other children. Nasty things. [opens the door] Tom? You have a visitor. Albus Dumbledore: How do you do, Tom? Tom Riddle - Age 11: [without turning around] Go. [cut to a short time later, as Dumbledore sits opposite Tom] Tom Riddle - Age 11: You're the doctor, aren't you? Albus Dumbledore: No, I'm a professor. Tom Riddle - Age 11: I don't believe you. She wants me looked at. They think I'm... different. Albus Dumbledore: Well, perhaps they're right. Tom Riddle - Age 11: I'm not mad. Albus Dumbledore: Hogwarts is not a place for mad people. Hogwarts is a school. A school of magic. You can do things can't you, Tom? That other children can't. Tom Riddle - Age 11: I can make things move without touching them. I can make animals do what I want without training them. I can make bad things happen to people who are mean to me. I can make them hurt, if I want... Who are you? Albus Dumbledore: Well, I'm like you, Tom. I'm different. Tom Riddle - Age 11: Prove it. [Dumbledore turns and looks at the wardrobe, which bursts into flames. Something rattles on the inside] Albus Dumbledore: I think there's something in the wardrobe trying to get out, Tom. [Tom opens the wardrobe, and dumps out the contents] Albus Dumbledore: Thievery is not tolerated at Hogwarts, Tom. At Hogwarts you will be taught not only how to use magic, but how to control it. Do you understand me? [Dumbledore starts to leave] Tom Riddle - Age 11: I can speak to snakes, too. They find me... whisper things. [Dumbledore stops, looking surprised] Tom Riddle - Age 11: Is that normal, for someone like me? [Harry persuades Slughorn to hand over his true memory] Horace Slughorn: Please don't think badly of me when you see it. You have no idea what he was like... even back then. |
