Professor Minerva McGonagall: Salazar Slytherin wished to be more selective about the students admitted to Hogwarts. He believed magical learning should be kept within all magic families. In other words, pure-bloods. Unable to sway the others, he decided to leave the school. Now according to legend, Slytherin had built a hidden chamber in this castle, known as the Chamber of Secrets. Though shortly before departing, he sealed it until that time when his own true heir returned to the school. The heir alone would be able to open the chamber and unleash the horror within, and by so doing, purge the school of all those who, in Slytherins view, were unworthy to study magic.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film war

Professor Minerva McGonagall: Well, naturally the school has been searched many times. No such chamber has been found.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film time

Minerva McGonagall: Well the Chamber is said to be home to something that only the Heir of Slytherin can control. it is said to be the home of a monster.

Gilderoy Lockhart: An excellent idea to show them that, Professor Snape! But if you dont mind me saying, it was pretty obvious, uh, what you were about to do. And if I had wanted to stop you, it would have been only too easy--

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film men

Draco Malfoy: You know, Im surprised that the Daily Prophet hasnt done a report on all these attacks. I suppose Dumbledore is trying to hush it all up. Father always said Dumbledore was the worst thing that ever happened to this place.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film sin

Harry: Well, hes in trouble. Up at the school, there have been attacks. They think its Hagrid. They think he opened the Chamber of Secrets, like before.

Aragog: No. The monster was born in the castle. I came to Hagrid from a distant land, in the pocket of a traveler.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film travel

Aragog: I never saw any part of the castle but the box in which Hagrid kept me. The girl was discovered in a bathroom. When I was accused, Hagrid brought me here.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film art

Harry: Because no one did look it in the eye. Not directly, at least. Colin saw it through his camera. Justin-- Justin must have seen the basilisk through Nearly Headless Nick. Nick got the full blast of it. But hes a ghost, he couldnt die again. And Hermione had the mirror. I bet you she was using it to look around corners in case it came along.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film sin

Harry: Remember what Aragog said about that girl 50 years ago? She died in a bathroom? What if she never left?

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film girl

Minerva McGonagall: As you can see, the Heir of Slytherin has left another message. Our worst fear has been realized. A student has been taken by the monster into the Chamber itself! The students must be sent home. Im afraid this is the end of Hogwarts.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film fear

Snape: Werent you saying just last night that youve known all along where the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets is?

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film night

Minerva McGonagall: Thats settled. Well leave you to deal with the monster, Gilderoy. Your skills, after all, are legend.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film you

Harry: You wait here and try to shift some of this rock so we can get back through. Ill go on and find Ginny.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film you

Tom Riddle: Im afraid I cant do that, You see, as poor Ginny grows weaker I grow stronger. Yes, Harry, it was Ginny Weasley who opened the Chamber of Secrets.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film secrets

Tom Riddle: It was Ginny who set the basilisk on the mudbloods and Filchs cat, and it was Ginny who wrote the threatening messages on the walls.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film age

Tom Riddle: Because I told her to. Youll find I can be very persuasive. Not that she knew what she was doing, she was in, shall we say, a kind of trance. But still, the power of the diary began to scare her, and she tried to dispose of it in the girls bathroom. And then who should find it but you? The very person I was most anxious to meet.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film power

Tom Riddle: I knew I had to talk to you, meet you if I could. So I decided to show you my capture of that brainless oaf Hagrid to gain your trust.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film trust

Tom Riddle: He certainly kept an annoyingly close watch on me after that. I knew it wouldnt be safe to open the Chamber again while I was still at school, so I decided to leave behind a diary - preserving my sixteen year-old self in its pages so that one day, I would be able lead another to finish Salazar Slytherins noble work.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film work

Harry: Well, you havent finished it this time. In a few hours, the mandrake draught will be ready and everyone who was petrified will be all right again.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film time

Tom Riddle: Havent I told you? Killing mudbloods doesnt matter to me anymore. For many months now, my new target has been you. How is it that a baby with no extraordinary magical talent was able to defeat the greatest wizard of all time? And, how did you escape, with nothing but a scar, while Lord Voldemorts powers were destroyed?!

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film time

Tom Riddle: Surely, you didnt think I was going to keep my filthy Muggle fathers name? No. I fashioned myself a new name. A name I knew wizards everywhere would one day fear to speak, when I became the greatest sorcerer in the world!

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film fear

Dumbledore: Fortunately, our young Mr. Potter discovered it. One hopes that no more of Voldemorts old school things should find their way into innocent hands. The consequences for the one responsible would be severe.

— Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets film hope

Harry: Oh, I think you do, sir. I think you slipped the diary into Ginny Weasleys cauldron, that day at Diagon Alley.
