00:00:04.080 --> 00:00:13.880
<v Speaker 1>Hustle Studios. Hullo there, welcome back. I am so glad

2
00:00:14.240 --> 00:00:20.280
<v Speaker 1>you are here to night. Just settle in, get comfortable,

3
00:00:21.839 --> 00:00:27.239
<v Speaker 1>Let your body sink into the pillows. Pull the blanket

4
00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:32.320
<v Speaker 1>up to your chin if you like. There is no rush.

5
00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:40.799
<v Speaker 1>We have all night. This is Magus Knuckle and I

6
00:00:40.840 --> 00:00:47.679
<v Speaker 1>am Nigel. To night. We are reaching the end of

7
00:00:47.799 --> 00:00:52.840
<v Speaker 1>something quite special, the final chapter of our first journey

8
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:59.799
<v Speaker 1>together through Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chapter seventeen,

9
00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:09.200
<v Speaker 1>The Man with Two Faces. Now, before we drift into

10
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:14.920
<v Speaker 1>tonight's chapter, let us gently remember where we left off.

11
00:01:16.840 --> 00:01:23.079
<v Speaker 1>In our last visit to Orgwards, Harry, Ron and Hermione

12
00:01:23.640 --> 00:01:28.799
<v Speaker 1>made their way through the trap door beneath Fluffy. They

13
00:01:28.920 --> 00:01:34.879
<v Speaker 1>faced devil Snare in the dark, flying keys that cut

14
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:40.799
<v Speaker 1>and swooped, a giant chess set where a run sacrificed

15
00:01:40.920 --> 00:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>himself so as friends could pass, a logic puzzle with

16
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:54.280
<v Speaker 1>seven bottles of potion, where Hermione worked out which one

17
00:01:54.599 --> 00:02:00.959
<v Speaker 1>was safe to drink, And finally Harry walked into the

18
00:02:01.040 --> 00:02:10.759
<v Speaker 1>final chamber alone. There he fanned Professor Croll, not Snape,

19
00:02:11.120 --> 00:02:16.599
<v Speaker 1>as they had always suspected. Standing before the mirror of

20
00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:24.319
<v Speaker 1>her rises and Corol unwrapped his sturban, revealing the face

21
00:02:24.759 --> 00:02:29.240
<v Speaker 1>of lord Ful Lombard on the back of his head.

22
00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:40.879
<v Speaker 1>He was fumbat all along who had been drinking unicorn

23
00:02:40.919 --> 00:02:48.240
<v Speaker 1>plat in the forbidden forest, who had been sharing Quarrel's

24
00:02:48.319 --> 00:02:58.159
<v Speaker 1>body like a paracite, trying desperately to get the stone

25
00:02:58.479 --> 00:03:06.680
<v Speaker 1>and return to fall power. And when Harry looked into

26
00:03:06.719 --> 00:03:13.840
<v Speaker 1>the mirror, he felt the stone drop into his pocket

27
00:03:16.280 --> 00:03:23.840
<v Speaker 1>he had, But then Quarrel lunch and Harry touched him,

28
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:31.520
<v Speaker 1>and Quarrels skin burned the contact, but Harry felt pain, too,

29
00:03:33.240 --> 00:03:41.000
<v Speaker 1>terrible pain, and then everything went dark. Let us find

30
00:03:41.039 --> 00:03:46.360
<v Speaker 1>out what happens next. Shall we just close your eyes

31
00:03:46.759 --> 00:03:53.719
<v Speaker 1>and listen? Harry lay in a fairy white bed. The

32
00:03:53.800 --> 00:03:59.240
<v Speaker 1>world was white and soft, white sheets pulled up to

33
00:03:59.319 --> 00:04:05.400
<v Speaker 1>his chest, White sheets pulled up to his chest, white

34
00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:13.319
<v Speaker 1>curtains around the bed, Sunshine, golden and warm, streaming through

35
00:04:13.360 --> 00:04:18.360
<v Speaker 1>a tall winter Somewhere outside, he could hear birds singing.

36
00:04:19.199 --> 00:04:22.759
<v Speaker 1>It took him a long moment to remember where he was.

37
00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:31.720
<v Speaker 1>His body ached not sharply, but deeply, like he had

38
00:04:31.759 --> 00:04:36.240
<v Speaker 1>been carrying something very heavy for a very long time.

39
00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:43.279
<v Speaker 1>He blinked slowly against the light. His glasses were on

40
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:49.680
<v Speaker 1>the table beside his bed. He reached for them, put

41
00:04:49.720 --> 00:04:55.199
<v Speaker 1>them on, and the blurry world became sharp. He was

42
00:04:55.240 --> 00:05:00.639
<v Speaker 1>in the hospital wing at Hogles. The fir first thing

43
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:08.560
<v Speaker 1>he noticed was the chocolate. There was an enormous pile

44
00:05:08.879 --> 00:05:16.560
<v Speaker 1>of chocolate on the table beside his bed, Chocolate paws,

45
00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:31.759
<v Speaker 1>chocolate frogs, chocolate biscuez boxes upon boxes. It seemed as

46
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:39.439
<v Speaker 1>though every single teacher at Hongkorn's had sent him something.

47
00:05:41.959 --> 00:05:48.560
<v Speaker 1>There were chocolats on the chair, chocolands on the window sill,

48
00:05:50.639 --> 00:05:56.000
<v Speaker 1>even a box balanced on the furst of spirit. He

49
00:05:56.399 --> 00:06:01.079
<v Speaker 1>was the most chocolate Harry had ever a scene in

50
00:06:01.199 --> 00:06:09.600
<v Speaker 1>his life. His scar brickled gently, not the sharp pain

51
00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:16.319
<v Speaker 1>he remembered from the chamber beneath the school, just a

52
00:06:16.480 --> 00:06:24.319
<v Speaker 1>faint tingling, like a memory of pain. Then he heard

53
00:06:24.319 --> 00:06:36.199
<v Speaker 1>a voice, a very calm, very gentle, very old voice.

54
00:06:36.480 --> 00:06:42.759
<v Speaker 1>I thought you would wake up to day, said the voice.

55
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:47.480
<v Speaker 1>So I bought you all this chocolate. I find it

56
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 1>as a remarkably restorative effect. Harry turned his head carefully. There,

57
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:06.079
<v Speaker 1>sitting in a high backed chair beside the bed, reading

58
00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:13.720
<v Speaker 1>a magazine called Transfiguration, to day held upside down was

59
00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:20.279
<v Speaker 1>Professor albust Tumbardare. He peered at Arry over his half

60
00:07:20.439 --> 00:07:26.439
<v Speaker 1>mooned spectacles and smiled. It was the kind of smile

61
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.319
<v Speaker 1>that made you feel like everything was going to be

62
00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:36.839
<v Speaker 1>all right, like the world was fundamentally a good place.

63
00:07:37.360 --> 00:07:44.199
<v Speaker 1>How long have I been here, Harry asked. His voice

64
00:07:44.560 --> 00:07:50.240
<v Speaker 1>was croaky and dry, his throat felt like samd paper.

65
00:07:53.079 --> 00:08:00.480
<v Speaker 1>Three days, dear boy, three days and three nights. Miss

66
00:08:00.480 --> 00:08:06.879
<v Speaker 1>Granger and mister Weasley have been most worried. They have

67
00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:13.199
<v Speaker 1>visited every day. But I told them that you were

68
00:08:13.279 --> 00:08:23.279
<v Speaker 1>not in any real permanent danger. You see, Professor Quarrel

69
00:08:23.879 --> 00:08:28.360
<v Speaker 1>was not able to truly army, not in the way

70
00:08:28.439 --> 00:08:35.960
<v Speaker 1>he intended. Harry stared at Dumbledore. His brain felt slow

71
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:44.039
<v Speaker 1>like treacle. But he did hurt me. He burned me,

72
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:51.279
<v Speaker 1>and I burned him. Dumbledore set down his magazine very

73
00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:58.600
<v Speaker 1>carefully on the table. He adjusted his spectacles. He folded

74
00:08:58.759 --> 00:09:08.480
<v Speaker 1>his long, thin fingers together. Ah. Yes, that tell me, Harry,

75
00:09:08.799 --> 00:09:13.559
<v Speaker 1>what do you see when you look in the mirror

76
00:09:13.759 --> 00:09:22.639
<v Speaker 1>of her eyes? Harry was startled by the question. I

77
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:28.039
<v Speaker 1>I see my family, my parents, I see them standing

78
00:09:28.080 --> 00:09:37.799
<v Speaker 1>beside me. Tumbardeau nodded slowly. And what does the mirror show, Quirrel,

79
00:09:38.080 --> 00:09:51.799
<v Speaker 1>I wonder, power, glory, the stone itself. But you you

80
00:09:51.960 --> 00:09:57.000
<v Speaker 1>wanted to find this stone, but not to use it,

81
00:09:57.440 --> 00:09:59.879
<v Speaker 1>and that is why the mirror gave it to you.

82
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:12.799
<v Speaker 1>He paused. His blue eyes were very kind. Now as

83
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:17.799
<v Speaker 1>to why Quarral could not bear to touch you, Dum,

84
00:10:17.840 --> 00:10:26.120
<v Speaker 1>butto leaned forward slightly. His voice became very soft. It

85
00:10:26.240 --> 00:10:32.080
<v Speaker 1>was because of your mother, Harry. Your mother died to

86
00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:38.279
<v Speaker 1>save you when you were just a baby. If there

87
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:43.679
<v Speaker 1>is one thing that Lord Vaunepat cannot understand, one thing

88
00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:51.639
<v Speaker 1>that has always been beyond his comprehension, it is love.

89
00:10:54.440 --> 00:11:04.840
<v Speaker 1>Harry felt something stir in his chest, something warm. Your

90
00:11:04.879 --> 00:11:12.960
<v Speaker 1>mother's love was so powerful, so absolute, that when she

91
00:11:13.279 --> 00:11:18.080
<v Speaker 1>died to protect you, she left a mark on you.

92
00:11:20.679 --> 00:11:27.000
<v Speaker 1>Not a scar, Harry, not a visible mark. But it

93
00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:32.519
<v Speaker 1>is written into your very skin, into who you are,

94
00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:39.639
<v Speaker 1>to have been loved so deeply, even though the person

95
00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:49.240
<v Speaker 1>who loved ye is gone, will give us some protection

96
00:11:50.759 --> 00:12:00.679
<v Speaker 1>for ever. It is in your skin, Harry. Quarrel, who

97
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:07.639
<v Speaker 1>was full of hatred and greed and the desire for power,

98
00:12:09.000 --> 00:12:15.519
<v Speaker 1>full of everything dark and selfish, he could not bear

99
00:12:15.960 --> 00:12:23.720
<v Speaker 1>to touch a person marked by something so good it

100
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:29.720
<v Speaker 1>burned him, and it will burn vonebot to if he

101
00:12:29.799 --> 00:12:36.240
<v Speaker 1>is ever foolish enough to touch you. Harry sat with

102
00:12:36.399 --> 00:12:43.240
<v Speaker 1>that for a very long time. The birds outside were

103
00:12:43.320 --> 00:12:51.559
<v Speaker 1>still singing. The sunshine moved slowly across the white sheets.

104
00:12:52.360 --> 00:12:58.159
<v Speaker 1>His mother, whom he could barely remember, who had died

105
00:12:58.679 --> 00:13:05.200
<v Speaker 1>fifteen years ago in a cottage in Goldrick's Honor, was

106
00:13:05.279 --> 00:13:13.639
<v Speaker 1>still protecting him, still wrapping her arms around him, even

107
00:13:14.240 --> 00:13:17.759
<v Speaker 1>from beyond the gray. That is why I could not

108
00:13:18.120 --> 00:13:23.320
<v Speaker 1>tell you everything when you first arrived at Awkwards, said

109
00:13:23.320 --> 00:13:29.480
<v Speaker 1>Timullah gently. Some truths are too important to be given.

110
00:13:31.080 --> 00:13:37.759
<v Speaker 1>They must be discovered. Lift through felt in your bonds.

111
00:13:39.600 --> 00:13:47.759
<v Speaker 1>Now I expect you have more questions. Harry nodded. His

112
00:13:47.919 --> 00:13:52.840
<v Speaker 1>mind was full of questions. They dumbled over each other

113
00:13:53.159 --> 00:14:02.399
<v Speaker 1>like puppies. The stone, he said first, the Forelolosopher's stone?

114
00:14:02.639 --> 00:14:08.480
<v Speaker 1>Did Quarrel get it? Did Volomot get it? Tomados shook

115
00:14:08.519 --> 00:14:18.039
<v Speaker 1>his head. No, the stone has been destroyed, destroyed. Harry

116
00:14:18.080 --> 00:14:24.080
<v Speaker 1>sat up a little. But Nicholas flamm He needs the

117
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:31.720
<v Speaker 1>elixir of life to stay alive, doesn't he. I spoke

118
00:14:31.840 --> 00:14:36.200
<v Speaker 1>with Nicholas and his wife, Parannel, while you are sleeping.

119
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:42.279
<v Speaker 1>They have enough elixir stored to set their affairs in order,

120
00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:51.279
<v Speaker 1>and then well they will die. Harry felt a small

121
00:14:51.399 --> 00:14:58.879
<v Speaker 1>shock run through him. But they will really die, he

122
00:14:59.039 --> 00:15:05.519
<v Speaker 1>told them, being destroyed, and they just except in it.

123
00:15:08.759 --> 00:15:13.720
<v Speaker 1>They are very old, Harry. They have lived for over

124
00:15:13.960 --> 00:15:21.480
<v Speaker 1>six hundred years, and to the well organized mind, death

125
00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:28.759
<v Speaker 1>is but the next great adventure. Nicholas has always said

126
00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:38.000
<v Speaker 1>that he is quite ready. Dumbreu said this so calmly,

127
00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:46.840
<v Speaker 1>so peacefully, as if death were merely and doorway at

128
00:15:46.879 --> 00:15:56.559
<v Speaker 1>the threshold to step through, and somehow coming from Dumbelore,

129
00:15:58.240 --> 00:16:03.759
<v Speaker 1>it did not sound frightening at all. I made the

130
00:16:03.799 --> 00:16:12.039
<v Speaker 1>decision to destroy the stone, Dumblore continued. It was too

131
00:16:12.120 --> 00:16:21.320
<v Speaker 1>dangerous to exist, too great a temptation. As long as

132
00:16:21.360 --> 00:16:27.080
<v Speaker 1>it lived, there would always be some one seeking it,

133
00:16:29.080 --> 00:16:36.440
<v Speaker 1>some one willing to kill for it. They would always

134
00:16:36.639 --> 00:16:43.840
<v Speaker 1>be of Vaudemont waiting in the shadows. So Nicholas and

135
00:16:43.919 --> 00:16:50.279
<v Speaker 1>I agreed it was best this way. Harry lay back

136
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:57.200
<v Speaker 1>against his pillows. He felt sad for Nicholas Bermount, but

137
00:16:57.320 --> 00:17:05.559
<v Speaker 1>he also understood some things were too dangerous to keep. Now,

138
00:17:05.680 --> 00:17:10.960
<v Speaker 1>said Dumbaredore, and there was a tiny shift in his voice,

139
00:17:11.319 --> 00:17:16.400
<v Speaker 1>a hint of something more serious. There is one more

140
00:17:16.519 --> 00:17:21.279
<v Speaker 1>thing I must explain to you. I expect you want

141
00:17:21.319 --> 00:17:26.000
<v Speaker 1>to know how valmart or what remains of him, came

142
00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:34.200
<v Speaker 1>to be sharing Professor Quirrel's body. Yes, said Harry, I

143
00:17:34.279 --> 00:17:40.880
<v Speaker 1>don't understand how. It is a sad story, said Dumbledore quietly,

144
00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:48.960
<v Speaker 1>and not a very long one. After Funemont's downfall, when

145
00:17:49.000 --> 00:17:55.720
<v Speaker 1>his killing curse rebounded from you as a baby, he

146
00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:03.160
<v Speaker 1>was destroyed, but not completely. He was too powerful for that.

147
00:18:05.200 --> 00:18:10.640
<v Speaker 1>He was reduced to something less than a ghost, less

148
00:18:10.960 --> 00:18:16.680
<v Speaker 1>than the meanest spirit. He fled into the forests of Albania,

149
00:18:18.440 --> 00:18:26.440
<v Speaker 1>hiding in trees in the dark places, possessing animals to

150
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:36.720
<v Speaker 1>survive snakes. Mostly he was barely alive, just a shadow

151
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:46.839
<v Speaker 1>of a shadow man. He was waiting, always waiting, waiting

152
00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:52.720
<v Speaker 1>for a chance to return, a follower to find him,

153
00:18:54.640 --> 00:19:02.119
<v Speaker 1>a fool to use. And then Professor Quarrel found him.

154
00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Dumbledore poored. His expression was very sad. Chernusqua a gift

155
00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:20.880
<v Speaker 1>had stedent when he was at Acorns, he told Magas

156
00:19:20.880 --> 00:19:26.160
<v Speaker 1>studies for a while before becoming the defense against the

157
00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:35.519
<v Speaker 1>Dark Art's teacher but it was always ambitious, always curious

158
00:19:36.920 --> 00:19:43.599
<v Speaker 1>about the darker aspects of magic. He took a year

159
00:19:43.839 --> 00:19:53.960
<v Speaker 1>off from teaching to travel to gain what he called

160
00:19:54.880 --> 00:20:09.519
<v Speaker 1>practical experience. In Albania, he found foremulted, and Quarrel was seduced,

161
00:20:11.279 --> 00:20:18.720
<v Speaker 1>not by force, not by thread, but by the promise

162
00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:25.839
<v Speaker 1>of knowledge of power. Polamont as a way of making

163
00:20:25.920 --> 00:20:30.880
<v Speaker 1>people believe that serving him will bring them everything they desire,

164
00:20:33.079 --> 00:20:40.160
<v Speaker 1>so Quarrel agreed to help. He brought Volamont back to England,

165
00:20:40.960 --> 00:20:48.279
<v Speaker 1>back to Hogwarts. They shared a body, Quarrel in front,

166
00:20:48.599 --> 00:20:53.920
<v Speaker 1>Polamont on the back of his head hidden beneath the turban.

167
00:20:54.599 --> 00:20:58.680
<v Speaker 1>Who was Quarrel who broken to Ringads to try to

168
00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:04.440
<v Speaker 1>steal the stone from the vault. It was Quarrel who

169
00:21:04.519 --> 00:21:10.000
<v Speaker 1>let the mountain troll into the school on Hallowe. It

170
00:21:10.079 --> 00:21:15.079
<v Speaker 1>was Quarrel who jinxed your broom during the first quidditch match.

171
00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:20.920
<v Speaker 1>It was Quarrel who drag the unicorn blood in the

172
00:21:21.000 --> 00:21:29.640
<v Speaker 1>forbidden forest to keep Volmittled alive all year long. The

173
00:21:29.839 --> 00:21:36.039
<v Speaker 1>enemy was inside the castle, right under our noses, and

174
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:40.640
<v Speaker 1>it was not sneep, though I know you believed it was.

175
00:21:42.359 --> 00:21:49.359
<v Speaker 1>Harry felt his cheeks flush. He means neat, doesn't. Profeta

176
00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:54.880
<v Speaker 1>Sneap said it, pon to Laura gently. He is a

177
00:21:54.960 --> 00:22:01.799
<v Speaker 1>complicated man, but he is not your enemy. He was

178
00:22:01.880 --> 00:22:06.720
<v Speaker 1>trying to protect you this year. When he was jinxing

179
00:22:06.799 --> 00:22:13.480
<v Speaker 1>your broom, he was muttering a countercurse. He was the

180
00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:17.240
<v Speaker 1>one who tried to save you during the match. It

181
00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:21.759
<v Speaker 1>was Professor Snape who alerted me when Quarrel went after

182
00:22:21.799 --> 00:22:27.039
<v Speaker 1>the stone that night. Harry sat with that for a moment,

183
00:22:29.000 --> 00:22:37.480
<v Speaker 1>Snape trying to protect him. It seemed impossible, but then

184
00:22:38.559 --> 00:22:45.680
<v Speaker 1>many impossible things seemed to happen. Not awkwards. You have

185
00:22:45.839 --> 00:22:54.000
<v Speaker 1>been very brave, Harry, said Dumbledore, and his voice was

186
00:22:54.079 --> 00:23:01.680
<v Speaker 1>so warm, so sincere, that Harry felt his eyes brickle,

187
00:23:04.079 --> 00:23:08.000
<v Speaker 1>Braver than you know. But there are some things I

188
00:23:08.039 --> 00:23:15.880
<v Speaker 1>cannot tell you, not because I don't trust you, but

189
00:23:15.960 --> 00:23:23.559
<v Speaker 1>because you are still so young, and some truths need time.

190
00:23:28.160 --> 00:23:31.039
<v Speaker 1>There is a reason of not I tried to kill

191
00:23:31.079 --> 00:23:40.119
<v Speaker 1>you as a baby, a prophecy, a prediction made before

192
00:23:40.160 --> 00:23:46.160
<v Speaker 1>you were born. But that is a story for another

193
00:23:46.279 --> 00:23:54.079
<v Speaker 1>chapter of your life, when you are ready. Harry wanted

194
00:23:54.119 --> 00:23:59.279
<v Speaker 1>to push, he wanted to demand answers, but done below.

195
00:23:59.599 --> 00:24:04.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't way of closing a conversation, not with force,

196
00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:12.440
<v Speaker 1>but with kindness, like a gentle hand guiding a door shut.

197
00:24:13.640 --> 00:24:19.759
<v Speaker 1>And somehow Harry did not mind. He trusted this old man.

198
00:24:20.960 --> 00:24:25.759
<v Speaker 1>He trusted that when the time was right, the answers

199
00:24:25.920 --> 00:24:34.519
<v Speaker 1>would come. You deserve a reward, said Damblon. Suddenly his

200
00:24:34.680 --> 00:24:43.000
<v Speaker 1>eyes twinkled. Or of you two, let me see. Fifty

201
00:24:43.119 --> 00:24:48.440
<v Speaker 1>points to mister Potter for outstanding courage in the face

202
00:24:48.519 --> 00:24:54.759
<v Speaker 1>of mortal danger, fifty points to miss Granger for the

203
00:24:54.880 --> 00:25:01.640
<v Speaker 1>cool and logical use of knowledge under pressure, fifty points

204
00:25:01.680 --> 00:25:05.759
<v Speaker 1>to mister Weasley for the best played game of chess

205
00:25:06.480 --> 00:25:13.119
<v Speaker 1>that all courts are seen in many, many years, and

206
00:25:13.319 --> 00:25:24.599
<v Speaker 1>ten points to mister Neville long Bottom Nevill. Harry said, yes, Neval,

207
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:30.960
<v Speaker 1>for the rare and wonderful courage to stand up to

208
00:25:31.000 --> 00:25:35.599
<v Speaker 1>one's friends. It takes grace bravery to stand up to

209
00:25:35.680 --> 00:25:41.839
<v Speaker 1>your enemies, Harry, but just as much to stand up

210
00:25:41.880 --> 00:25:48.400
<v Speaker 1>to your friends. Nevill stood in your path and tried

211
00:25:48.440 --> 00:25:54.440
<v Speaker 1>to stop you from losing more house points. He was wrong,

212
00:25:56.319 --> 00:26:07.839
<v Speaker 1>but he was very brave, Harry smiled Neville, Poor brave Nevill,

213
00:26:10.200 --> 00:26:17.960
<v Speaker 1>And just like that, Griffenda won the house gup Slytherin

214
00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:23.559
<v Speaker 1>had held it for seven years running, seven years of

215
00:26:23.680 --> 00:26:27.839
<v Speaker 1>green and silver banners hanging from the ceiling of the

216
00:26:27.880 --> 00:26:35.279
<v Speaker 1>Great Hall, but not this year. This year. At the

217
00:26:35.480 --> 00:26:42.160
<v Speaker 1>end of here feast, Tumbler stirred and waved his wand,

218
00:26:43.200 --> 00:26:48.039
<v Speaker 1>and the banners turned from green and silver to scarlet

219
00:26:48.440 --> 00:26:57.599
<v Speaker 1>and gold. The griff dir table irrupted. Students cheered and

220
00:26:57.839 --> 00:27:04.079
<v Speaker 1>jumped and hugged each other. Even Percy Weasley, who was

221
00:27:04.240 --> 00:27:10.000
<v Speaker 1>usually very proper and dignified, stood on his chair and

222
00:27:10.119 --> 00:27:16.319
<v Speaker 1>waved his napkin. Harry caught Nevill's eye across the hall.

223
00:27:18.079 --> 00:27:23.440
<v Speaker 1>Neville was bright red and grinning from ear to ear.

224
00:27:25.599 --> 00:27:31.200
<v Speaker 1>Harry raised his coblet to him. Neville waved back, shyly.

225
00:27:33.359 --> 00:27:38.880
<v Speaker 1>It was a good moment, a warm moment, the kind

226
00:27:38.920 --> 00:27:42.480
<v Speaker 1>of moment you carry with you for the rest of

227
00:27:42.519 --> 00:27:50.119
<v Speaker 1>your life. A few days later, Harry was discharged from

228
00:27:50.160 --> 00:27:56.680
<v Speaker 1>the hospital. Winged. The eggs had faded, the scar it

229
00:27:56.880 --> 00:28:03.640
<v Speaker 1>settled back to its usual Quietlike Bulb self, he walked

230
00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:11.160
<v Speaker 1>slowly through the corridors of the castle, enjoying the quiet.

231
00:28:12.599 --> 00:28:16.000
<v Speaker 1>Most of the students had already gone home for the summer.

232
00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:25.279
<v Speaker 1>The castle felt vast and peaceful. His footsteps echoed on

233
00:28:25.400 --> 00:28:33.480
<v Speaker 1>the stone. Flowers, paintings dozed in their frames, A ghost

234
00:28:33.880 --> 00:28:40.279
<v Speaker 1>drifted through a wall. He found Rond and Hermione in

235
00:28:40.400 --> 00:28:44.519
<v Speaker 1>the Gryffinda common room. They were sitting by the fireplace,

236
00:28:46.440 --> 00:28:51.880
<v Speaker 1>even though there was no fire. It was June after all.

237
00:28:53.359 --> 00:29:01.200
<v Speaker 1>Hermione jumped up and threw her arms around him. You

238
00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:08.440
<v Speaker 1>are all right, I am all right, said Harry, and

239
00:29:08.519 --> 00:29:16.200
<v Speaker 1>he meant it. We brought you your homework, said Hermione.

240
00:29:16.519 --> 00:29:20.680
<v Speaker 1>She gestured to a pile of parchments on the table.

241
00:29:22.000 --> 00:29:31.680
<v Speaker 1>Three essays, two translations, and a potion's like she Hermione said, Ron,

242
00:29:32.079 --> 00:29:37.039
<v Speaker 1>he has been unconscious for three days. Give him a break.

243
00:29:38.960 --> 00:29:44.519
<v Speaker 1>It is fine, said Harry. He actually did not mind

244
00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:52.640
<v Speaker 1>home work, felt wonderfully normal. They sat together and talked

245
00:29:52.680 --> 00:29:58.440
<v Speaker 1>about the year, about the letters arriving at the Dursleys,

246
00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:07.960
<v Speaker 1>Agri and his pink umbrella, and his love of dangerous creatures,

247
00:30:09.319 --> 00:30:15.079
<v Speaker 1>about Diagonally and the first time Harry saw green Arts,

248
00:30:17.160 --> 00:30:21.799
<v Speaker 1>and about the sorting hat whispering in his ear, could

249
00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:30.599
<v Speaker 1>you be a slatherin? No, not slatherin? About Quidditch and

250
00:30:30.640 --> 00:30:35.400
<v Speaker 1>the wind in his hair, about the troll on Halloween,

251
00:30:37.519 --> 00:30:45.400
<v Speaker 1>about Norbert, the Norwegian ridgeback, about the Forbidden Forest and

252
00:30:45.440 --> 00:30:52.920
<v Speaker 1>the hooded Vigor drinking unicorn blood. It had been quite

253
00:30:52.920 --> 00:31:00.359
<v Speaker 1>a year, the best year of Harry's life. I am

254
00:31:00.400 --> 00:31:06.279
<v Speaker 1>going to miss this, said Hermione quietly. She was looking

255
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:13.599
<v Speaker 1>at the common room, the squashy armchairs, the scarlet tapestries,

256
00:31:14.160 --> 00:31:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the view of the crowns to the window. Me too,

257
00:31:20.279 --> 00:31:28.000
<v Speaker 1>said Ron. Me three, said Harry. They talked about next year,

258
00:31:29.519 --> 00:31:37.240
<v Speaker 1>about Gridditch tryouts, about whether Acrid would bring home something

259
00:31:37.400 --> 00:31:43.279
<v Speaker 1>even more dangerous than a dragon, About the rumor that

260
00:31:43.400 --> 00:31:47.960
<v Speaker 1>a new defense against the Dark Art's teacher was coming,

261
00:31:49.319 --> 00:31:58.359
<v Speaker 1>someone called Professor Looper. They talked about everything and nothing,

262
00:31:59.839 --> 00:32:07.960
<v Speaker 1>the way only true friends can. And then it was time.

263
00:32:08.400 --> 00:32:13.160
<v Speaker 1>The Hogwarts Express puffed and whistled at platform nine and

264
00:32:13.359 --> 00:32:20.279
<v Speaker 1>three quarters. Students stream aboard with their trunks and owls

265
00:32:20.359 --> 00:32:27.799
<v Speaker 1>and cats. Cagrid waved from the platform, blowing his nose

266
00:32:27.960 --> 00:32:34.799
<v Speaker 1>into a table class sized handkerchief. Cagrid always cried. At

267
00:32:34.839 --> 00:32:40.400
<v Speaker 1>the end of term, Harry, Ron and Hermione found a

268
00:32:40.440 --> 00:32:47.079
<v Speaker 1>compartment and settled in. The train pulled away from the station,

269
00:32:48.599 --> 00:32:54.359
<v Speaker 1>and Hardcourts disappeared behind them. The castle grew smaller and smaller,

270
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:59.720
<v Speaker 1>until it was just a distant speck on a green hill.

271
00:33:01.640 --> 00:33:06.920
<v Speaker 1>They changed into muggle clothes. It felt strange to put

272
00:33:06.920 --> 00:33:10.240
<v Speaker 1>on jeans and a T shirt after a year of robes.

273
00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:16.440
<v Speaker 1>Hermione looked at the window at the English country side,

274
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:25.039
<v Speaker 1>rolling past green fields and stone walls and tiny villages

275
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:35.799
<v Speaker 1>with church peeples, sheep on hill sides, rivers winding through valleys.

276
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:40.480
<v Speaker 1>Do you wonder if next year will be as exciting?

277
00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:49.279
<v Speaker 1>Asked Run. I hope not, said Harry, and he was

278
00:33:49.400 --> 00:33:56.799
<v Speaker 1>only half joking. Run poured out a box of birdy pots,

279
00:33:56.839 --> 00:34:05.119
<v Speaker 1>every flavor beans. Hermione wrinkled her nose. They ate chocolate

280
00:34:05.240 --> 00:34:11.039
<v Speaker 1>frogs and played cards and talked about nothing at all.

281
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:16.760
<v Speaker 1>It was the kind of afternoon that stretches on for ever,

282
00:34:18.239 --> 00:34:25.400
<v Speaker 1>golden and lazy and warm. As the train pulled into

283
00:34:25.519 --> 00:34:32.360
<v Speaker 1>King's Cross Plaform nine and three quarters, Harry felt a

284
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:37.159
<v Speaker 1>strange tuque in his chest. He did not want to leave.

285
00:34:38.920 --> 00:34:44.159
<v Speaker 1>Hogwarts was his real home, the only place he had

286
00:34:44.199 --> 00:34:49.800
<v Speaker 1>ever truly belonged. He stepped off the train on to

287
00:34:49.920 --> 00:34:57.679
<v Speaker 1>the platform. The Dursleys were waiting, looking sour and impatient.

288
00:34:59.559 --> 00:35:06.039
<v Speaker 1>Uncle Annan had his arms folded. Aunt Prethunia was pursing

289
00:35:06.119 --> 00:35:12.000
<v Speaker 1>her lips. Dudley was staring at Harry's ol head, weak

290
00:35:13.039 --> 00:35:16.920
<v Speaker 1>with a look of faint terror. And Tarry did not

291
00:35:17.119 --> 00:35:23.920
<v Speaker 1>mind not to night, because he carried something the Dursleys

292
00:35:24.079 --> 00:35:31.159
<v Speaker 1>could never take away. He carried his mother's love written

293
00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:37.079
<v Speaker 1>into his very skin. He carried the memory of his

294
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:48.239
<v Speaker 1>friends Ron and Hermione and Cagrit and Dumblinter and Neville.

295
00:35:48.639 --> 00:35:53.400
<v Speaker 1>He carried the knowledge that he had faced the darkest

296
00:35:53.480 --> 00:36:02.519
<v Speaker 1>wizard who ever lived and survived. See you next year,

297
00:36:04.199 --> 00:36:14.280
<v Speaker 1>whispered ron Wright to me, said Hermione. Every day. Harry smiled.

298
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:21.519
<v Speaker 1>He picked up heart, we ex cage, he shordered his trunk.

299
00:36:23.679 --> 00:36:31.519
<v Speaker 1>I will, he said, I promise, and he walked toward

300
00:36:31.679 --> 00:36:38.480
<v Speaker 1>the Dursleys, carrying a whole world of magic inside him,

301
00:36:42.079 --> 00:36:49.079
<v Speaker 1>a world that they would never understand, a world that

302
00:36:49.400 --> 00:36:58.199
<v Speaker 1>was his. And that, dear listener, is the end of

303
00:36:58.320 --> 00:37:06.440
<v Speaker 1>Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. What a journey it

304
00:37:06.519 --> 00:37:10.639
<v Speaker 1>has been, from a cupboard under the stairs to the

305
00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:17.639
<v Speaker 1>great halls of hawk One's, from loneliness to friendship, from

306
00:37:17.719 --> 00:37:23.000
<v Speaker 1>darkness to light, from a boy you did not know

307
00:37:23.360 --> 00:37:27.639
<v Speaker 1>he was a wizard to a boy you had faced

308
00:37:28.039 --> 00:37:33.280
<v Speaker 1>the greatest dark wizard of all time and lived to

309
00:37:33.360 --> 00:37:39.400
<v Speaker 1>tell the tale. I hope you feel sleepy now. I

310
00:37:39.480 --> 00:37:44.480
<v Speaker 1>hope your eyes are heavy and your breathing is slow

311
00:37:45.800 --> 00:37:51.199
<v Speaker 1>and steady. Just close your eyes and listened to the

312
00:37:51.320 --> 00:37:57.119
<v Speaker 1>sound of my voice. Let your mind drift back to

313
00:37:57.239 --> 00:38:04.400
<v Speaker 1>platform nine and three corners. Imagine the steam from the train.

314
00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:14.000
<v Speaker 1>Imagine your friends waving good bye. Imagine the warm, golden

315
00:38:14.119 --> 00:38:22.000
<v Speaker 1>light of a summer evening. There is no rush. We

316
00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:28.679
<v Speaker 1>have all night, and tomorrow night we will begin a

317
00:38:28.840 --> 00:38:36.199
<v Speaker 1>new adventure together, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,

318
00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:45.559
<v Speaker 1>New mysteries, new dangers, new friends. But that is for

319
00:38:45.599 --> 00:38:56.079
<v Speaker 1>another time, for another evening, for another gentle journey into sleep.

320
00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:05.159
<v Speaker 1>For now, just dressed, Let or quads watch over you

321
00:39:06.599 --> 00:39:13.360
<v Speaker 1>from its hilltop. Let the magic carry you into dreams.

322
00:39:14.400 --> 00:39:19.760
<v Speaker 1>Dream of flying on a broomstick of the quidditch pitch.

323
00:39:21.719 --> 00:39:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Dream of candlelight and floating pumpkins. Dream of your mother's

324
00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:39.119
<v Speaker 1>arms around you, keeping you safe, keeping you warm. Good night,
