Hermione Granger
[to Ron]

No, stop! Stop! Stop! You're going to take someone's eye out. Besides, you're saying it wrong. It's "Levi-o-sa", not "Levio-sar"

Hermione Granger
[to Harry]

Holy cricket, you're Harry Potter.

Hermione Granger
[wand towards Harry's glasses]

Occulus Reparo. (Spell for repairing Harry's broken glass lenses).

I demand that you leave at once, sir! You are breaking and entering!

Dry up, Dursley, yeh great prune.

Who are you?

Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. Of course, you know all about Hogwarts.

Sorry, no.

Of course we knew! How could you not be, my perfect sister being what she was? Oh, she got a letter just like that and disappeared off to that - that school - and came home every vacation with her pockets full of frog spawn, turning teacups into rats! I was the only one who saw her for what she really was: a freak! But for my mother and father, oh no, it was Lily this and Lily that, they were proud of having a witch in the family! Then she met that Potter at school and they left and got married and had you, and of course I knew you'd be just the same, just as strange, just as - as - abnormal - and then, if you please, she went and got herself blown up and we got landed with you!

Blown up? You told me they died in a car crash!

A CAR CRASH?! A car crash kill Lily an' James Potter?! It's an outrage! It's a scandal!

Hermione

You're a great wizard, Harry, you really are.

Not as good as you.

Hermione

Me? Books and cleverness... There are more important things, like friendship and bravery. And Harry - just be careful.

Hermione

Has anyone seen a toad? A boy named Neville has lost one. [sees Ron attempting magic] Oh, you're doing magic? Let's see then.

Ron

Sunshine, daisies, butter mellow, turn this stupid, fat rat yellow.

Hermione

Are you sure that's a real spell? Well, not very good is it? Of course I've only tried a few simple ones myself, but they've all worked for me. For Example, [sits in front of Harry] Oculus Reparo [waves wand]

Hermione

That's better, isn't it. Holy cricket, you're Harry Potter! I'm Hermione Granger and... you are?

Ron
[muffled]

I'm Ron Weasley.

Hermione

Pleasure. You two better change into robes, I expect we'll be arriving soon. [leaves, but turns around to face Ron] You've got dirt on your nose, by the way... Did you know? Just there...

Hermione

Now I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another brilliant idea to get us killed... or worse... EXPELLED.

Ron

She needs to sort out her priorities.

So it's true then. What they're saying on the train. Harry Potter has come to Hogwarts. This is Crabbe, and Goyle. And I'm Malfoy. Draco Malfoy.

[Ron s****]

You think my name's funny do you? No need to ask for yours. Red hair, and a hand me down robe. You must be a Weasley. You'll soon find out some wizarding families are better than others, Potter. You don't want to go making friends with the wrong sort. I can help you there.

I think I can tell the wrong sort for myself, thanks.

Ron

Fred and George. They're beaters.

Fred

Yeah. It's our job to make sure you don't get bloodied up too much!

Fred
[to Harry about the dangers of Quidditch]

Don't worry. No one's died in years.

George

Occasionally they'll go missing.

Fred

But they'll turn up in a month or two!

I...can't be a wizard. I'm...just Harry. Just Harry.

Well 'Just Harry'...did you ever make anything happen? Something you couldn't explain when you were angry or...scared?

[Harry enters a dungeon to see a man standing in front of the Mirror of Erised-Only, it isn't Snape or Voldemort]

You. No, it can't-it can't be. Snape, he was-he was the one who--

Quirrell

Yes, Snape. He does seem the type, doesn't he? Next to him, who would suspect p-p-p-poor st-st-st-stuttering Professor Quirrell?

But that day, during the Quidditch Match, Snape tried to kill me.

Quirrell

No, dear boy. I tried to kill you! And believe me, if Snape's cloak hadn't caught fire and broken my eye contact, I would have succeeded. Even with Snape muttering his little counter-curse.

Snape was trying to save me?

Quirrell

I knew you were a danger to me right from the off. Especially after Halloween.

Th-th-then you let the troll in!

Quirrell

Very good, Potter, yes. Snape, unfortunately, wasn't fooled. While everyone else was running about the dungeons, he went to the third to head me off. He, of course, never trusted me again. But he doesn't understand. I'm never alone. Never. Now, what does this mirror do? I see what I desire. I see myself holding the stone. But how do I get it?

Voice

Use the boy.

Quirrell

Come here, Potter! Now!

Quirrell
[Harry walks to Quirrell and the Mirror of Erised]

Now... tell me. What do you see?

Quirrell
[Harry sees his reflection take out the Philosopher's Stone, then places it into his pocket. He realizes that it truly IS in his pocket.]

What is it? What do you see?

I'm shaking hands with Dumbledore. I've won the House Cup.

Voice

He lies.

Quirrell

Tell the truth! WHAT DO YOU SEE?!

Voice

Let me speak to him.

Quirrell

Master, you are not strong enough.

Voice

I have strength enough for thisssssss.

Voldemort
[Quirrell unwraps his turban, revealing a hideous face on the back of his head-Voldemort]

Harry Potter. We meet again.

Voldemort?

Voldemort

Yes. You see what I've become? See what I must do to survive? Live off another, a mere parasite. Unicorn blood can sustain me, but it cannot give me a body of my own. But there is something that can. Something that, conviently enough, lies in your pocket.

Voldemort
[Harry attempts to escape.]

Stop him!

Voldemort
[Quirrell blocks Harry by snapping his fingers, causing flames to block off every exit.]

Don't be a fool. Why suffer an horrific death when you can join me and live?

Never!

Voldemort
[Laughs]

Bravery. Your parents had it, too. Tell me, Harry, do you wish to see your mother and father again? [Harry's parents appear in the Mirror of Erised] Together, we can bring them back. All I ask is for something in return.

Voldemort
[Harry pulls the stone out of his pocket.]

That's it, Harry. There is no good and evil. There is only power. And those too weak to seek it. Together, we'll do extraordinary things. Just give me the stone! [Harry's parents disappear from the mirror.]

You LIAR!

Voldemort

KILL HIM!

Quirrell

What is this magic?

Voldemort

You fool! Get the stone!

Hermione

It's going to be weird going home...isn't it.

[Looking back at Hogwarts smiling]

I'm not going home...not really.

[holding a list of names]

When I call your name, you will come forth. I shall place the Sorting Hat on your head… [holds up the Sorting Hat] and you will be sorted into your houses. [looks over the list] Hermione Granger.

Hermione
[sighs; walks up, nervously]

Oh, no. [calmly to herself] Okay, relax.

Ron
[to Harry]

Mental, that one. I'm tellin' ya.

Sorting Hat
[Hermione sits on the stool and McGonagall places the Sorting Hat on her head as a face appears]

Ah, right, then. Hmm. Right. Okay… Gryffindor!

[The Gryffindor students clap and cheer and Hermione joyfully joins them at their table]

Draco Malfoy. [Draco comes up sits on the stool; places the hat on his head]

Sorting Hat

Slytherin!

Ron
[Draco gets up from the stool and is sorted into the Slytherin House table as the students cheer] [whispering to Harry]

There's not a witch or wizard who went bad who wasn't in Slytherin.

Susan Bones.

Ron
[As Susan walks up to the Sorting Hat, Harry looks around and notices a pale man named, Severus Snape, giving him some sinister looks] [as Harry puts his hand on his scar in pain; concerned]

Harry, what is it?

Nothing. Nothing, I'm fine.

Sorting Hat

Let's see. I know… Hufflepuff!

[takes the hat off Susan's head as she's sorted into Hufflepuff House, then looks over the list]

Ronald Weasley.

Sorting Hat
[Ron nervously walks up and sits down on the stool as the hat is placed on his head]

Ha! Another Weasley. I know just what to do with you. Gryffindor!

[Ron sighs in relief and joins the Gryffindor table as the students cheer]

Harry Potter. [Harry walks up and sits down on the stool; places the hat on his head]

Sorting Hat

Hmm, difficult, very difficult. Plenty of courage, I see. Not a bad mind, either. There's talent, oh, yes. And a thirst to prove yourself. But where to put you?

[whispering and begging]

Not Slytherin. Not Slytherin.

Sorting Hat

Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know. It's all here, in your head. And Slytherin will help you on the way to greatness! There's no doubt about that. No?

[still whispering]

Please, not Slytherin, anything but Slytherin.

Sorting Hat

Well, if you're sure. Better be… GRYFFINDOR!
[Harry smiles proudly and joins the Gryffindor table as Ron, Hermione, and the other students clap and cheer immensely]

Ron
[After their fiasco with Fluffy, Hagrid's three-headed dog.]

What do they think they're doing? Keepin' a thing like that locked up in a school?

Hermione

You don't use your eyes, do you? Didn't you see what it was standing on?

Ron

I wasn't lookin' at its feet! I was a bit preoccupied with its heads. Or maybe you didn't notice. There were three!

Hermione

It was standing on a trapdoor. Which means, it wasn't there by accident. It's guarding something.

Guarding something?

Hermione

That's right. Now, if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you come up with another clever idea to get us killed. Or worse, expelled. [Goes into the girl’s dormitory]

Ron

She needs to sort out her priorities!

[That Halloween night, the great hall has floating Jack O'Lanterns in place of the candles. Harry notices an empty spot on the bench.]

Where's Hermione?

Neville

Parvati Patil said that she wouldn't come out of the girls’ bathroom. She said that she'd been in there all afternoon, cryin’.

Quirrell
[Harry glances at Ron with a disapproving look on his face; Ron shrugs. Suddenly, Professor Quirrell comes running into the Great Hall in panic.]

TROLL! IN THE DUNGEON! T-TROOLLL IN THE DUNGEON! [Dumbledore rises from his seat in concern. Everyone looks at Quirrell and he stops and there is utter silence.] Thought you ought to know.

[Quirrell passes out in fear. The great hall goes silent, and then everyone freaks out, screaming and running.]

SILLLLLEEENNNNCEEEEE! [Everyone stops and calms down; quieter now] Everyone will please not panic! Now, prefects will lead their house back to the dormitories. Teachers will follow me to the dungeons.

Hufflepuff Prefect

Hufflepuff, this way!

Boy

Stay together!

Percy
[Snape looks aghast, and he walks out through a doorway. A bit later, Percy is leading the Gryffindors down a dark corridor.]

Gryffindors, keep up, please, and stay alert!

How could a troll get in?

Ron

Not on its own. Trolls are really stupid. Probably people playing jokes. [Suddenly, Harry stops and pulls Ron aside.] What?

Hermione! She doesn't know!

Ron
[The two separate themselves from the crowd. They run down corridors. They start running down a hall when they stop, seeing a towering shadow on the wall.]

I think the troll's left the dungeon!

[A deep grunting is heard. Harry pulls Ron into a doorway, they peer out to see the large troll lumbering by into a room, dragging a club behind it.]

It's going into the girls’ bathroom!

[In the girls’ bathroom, Hermione emerges from a stall, wiping her eyes. She stops when she sees something. The troll is standing there. Hermione backs up into the stall just as the troll raises its club and smashes the top part of the stalls. Hermione screams in terror. Harry and Ron come bursting in.]

Hermione, move!

Hermione
[The troll smashes the remaining stalls.]

HELP! HELP! [Harry and Ron start throwing wood pieces at the troll.]

Ron

HEY, PEA-BRAIN! [Ron throws wood and hits the troll on the head, drawing its attention. Hermione escapes from the stalls to under a sink, but the troll sees her and swings its club again, smashing the sink and barely missing her. Harry cringes.]

Hermione
[screams]

HELP!

[Harry gets out his wand. He runs forward and grabs the troll's club and is lifted up.]

Whoa! [He lands on the troll's shoulders and is hurled around back and forth.]

Ron
[Harry's wand sticks up the troll's nose. The troll groans in disgust.]

Ew!

[Ron and Hermione both look disgusted. The troll snorts, and whips around.]

Whoa, whoa-whoa!

[The troll gets Harry off its shoulders and is holding him by one leg, upside down.]

Do something!

Ron
[The troll swipes at Harry with its club. He pulls himself up, then down.]

What?!

ANYTHING! [the troll swipes at him again] Hurry up!

Hermione
[Ron grabs his wand. Under the sink, Hermione waves her hand.]

Swish and flick!

Ron
[correctly punctuating the words]

Wingardium Leviosa! [Flick! The troll's club is lifted out of its hand and hovers above its head. The troll looks at its empty hand in confusion, then looks up, just as the club comes crashing back down.] Cool. [It hits the troll's head and the troll wavers, then drops Harry, who crawls away, and slowly comes crashing down, knocked out. Hermione approaches carefully.]

Hermione

Is it dead?

I don't think so. Just knocked out. [He grabs his wand which is covered in mucus.] Ugh! Troll bogies.

[Harry wipes his wand on his robes. Suddenly, McGonagall, Snape and Quirrell come rushing in. They all gasp at the knocked-out troll.]

Oh! Oh, my goodness! Explain yourselves, both of you!

Ron and Harry

Well, what it is...

Hermione

It's my fault, Professor McGonagall. [The teachers, Ron and Harry look at her.]

Miss Granger?

Hermione

I went looking for the troll. I'd read about them and thought I could handle it. But I was wrong. If Harry and Ron hadn't come and found me, I'd probably be dead.

Be that as it may, it was an extremely foolish thing to do. [Harry notices Snape's leg, which has the trousers' leg torn and a large cut on it. Snape notices and covers it up, glaring at Harry.] I would've expected more rational behaviour on your part, and am very disappointed in you, Miss Granger. Five points will be taken from Gryffindor for your serious lack of judgment. [she turns to Harry and Ron] As for you two gentlemen, I just hope you realize how fortunate you are. Not many first-year students could take on a fully grown mountain troll and live to tell the tale. Five points will be awarded to each of you... [Harry and Ron grin at each other] ...for sheer dumb luck!

Quirrell
[Snape and McGonagall leave the bathroom]

Perhaps you ought to go. It m-might wake up. Heh. [Harry, Ron and Hermione exit the bathroom. Quirrell looks at the unconscious troll. The troll growls, seemingly about to wake up.] Ahh! Hehe...

[Talking about Snape after the Quidditch match when he was accused of jinxing Harry's broom]

Nonsense! Why would Snape put a curse on Harry's broom?

Who knows? Why was he tryna get past that three-headed dog on Halloween?

Who told you about Fluffy?

Ron

"Fluffy"?!

Hermione

That thing has a name?

Of course, he's got a name! He's mine! I bought him off an Irish feller I met down at the pub last year. Then I lent him to Dumbledore to guard the–

Yes?

Shouldn't have said that. No more questions! Don't ask any more questions. That's top-secret, that is.

But, Hagrid, whatever Fluffy's guarding, Snape's trying to steal it.

Codswallop! Professor Snape is a Hogwarts teacher!

Hermione

Hogwarts teacher or not, I know a spell when I see one. I've read all about them. You've got to keep eye contact and Snape wasn't blinking.

Exactly.

[Sighs]

Now, you listen to me, all three of yeh. Yer meddlin’ in things that ought not to be meddled in. It's dangerous. What that dog is guarding is strictly between Professor Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel.

[Curious and turns to Ron then back to Hagrid]

Nicholas Flamel?

[Mumbles to himself]

I shouldn't have said that. I should not have said that.

[He then leaves, mumbling to himself "I should not have said that"]

Nicholas Flamel. [Turns to Hermione] Who's Nicholas Flamel?

Hermione

I don't know. [Shakes her head]

Firenze

Harry Potter, you must leave. You are known to many creatures here. The Forest is not safe at this time, especially for you.

But what was that thing you saved me from?

Firenze

A monstrous creature. [indicates the dead Unicorn] It is a terrible crime to slay a Unicorn. Drinking a Unicorn's blood will keep you alive even if you are an inch from death, but at a terrible price, for you have slain something so pure, that from the moment the blood touches your lips, you will have a half-life. A cursed life.

But who would choose such a life?

Firenze

Can you think of no one?

Do you mean to say, that-that thing that killed the Unicorn, that was drinking its blood... that was Voldemort?

Firenze

Do you know what is hidden in the school at this very moment, Mr. Potter?

The Sorcerer's Stone.

Hermione
[Hagrid, Ron and Hermione appear]

Harry!

Hello there, Firenze. See you've met our young Mr. Potter. You alright there, Harry?

[nods]

Mm-hm.

Firenze

Harry Potter, this is where I leave you. You're safe now. Good luck. [he leaves]

[Snape has approached Harry, Ron and Hermione]

Now, what would three young Gryffindors such as yourselves be doing inside on a day like this?

Hermione

We... [Snape looks to her, expecting an answer]...we were just...

You ought to be more careful. People may think you're...[Snape notices Harry eyeing him cautiously. He glares sharply at Harry]...up to something.
