Unfortunately, the basilisk manages to bite Harry before it dies, leaving its fang in Harry's arm. Harry is cornered by the basilisk, but defeats it by driving the sword through the roof of its mouth.
Harry manages to evade the Basilisk, and notices that a Gryffindor sword appears inside the Sorting Hat. He drops the Sorting Hat into Harry's hands, and pecks out the basilisk's eyes so that it cannot turn Harry to stone with its glance. Tom/Voldemort then releases the basilisk to kill Harry, but Dumbledore's phoenix Fawkes suddenly flies through the Chamber. When Harry asks who he really is, Tom shows how his name Tom Marvolo Riddle can be anagrammed to read I am Lord Voldemort. As Ginny grows weaker, he says, he is growing stronger and will soon be able to inhabit a corporeal body.
Riddle describes how he entranced Ginny to open the Chamber, write the words on the wall, and then plant the diary where Harry could find it. Harry enters into the inner chamber where he finds Ginny Weasley lying on the floor and a ghostly manifestation of Tom Riddle standing next to her. Scared out of his wits, Lockhart tries to bluff his way out and put a spell of memory loss on Harry and Ron-after stealing Ron's wand when he lost control of it during a scuffle, and also unaware that the wand was broken and malfunctioning all during the school term-but the spell backfires and Lockhart loses his own memory. Lucius's other objectives were to use the attacks to kick Dumbledore out of Hogwarts due to Dumbledore's acceptance towards Muggles and Muggle-born wizards, and to get rid of the diary due to it being a dark artifact itself that would have gotten him in trouble.Īfter finding the underground entrance to the Chamber of Secrets, Harry, Ron, and Professor Gilderoy Lockhart jump into it. Lucius found the Act offensive and wanted to prevent it from gaining passage in the Ministry. His main reason for doing so is that Arthur had proposed a new law, the "Muggle Protection Act", that would allow the ministry to protect Muggles from dark magical artifacts. While the film does not explain his reason for why he did this, in the book it was revealed to be part of an elaborate scheme to frame Ginny for the attacks with his true target is to discredit her father Arthur Weasley to ruin his career at the Ministry. If you pay close attention in the beginning, it is clear that Lucius Malfoy takes a book from Ginny's cauldron, observes and comments about it, and then puts two books back. The passing of fifty years since the previous opening of the Chamber of Secrets falsely suggested that different persons within Slytherin's bloodline were responsible, while, in fact, it was the same person all along. Toward the end of the movie, it is revealed that Riddle is none other than the evil Lord Voldemort, who is the true heir of Slytherin.
Then Ginny finds a diary which contains a "preservation" of Tom Marvolo Riddle, at the age of 16. Even Harry begins to doubt himself when he remembers how the Sorting Hat first wanted to place him in Slytherin House, whose symbol is a serpent, when he arrived at Hogwarts. Then, suspicion shifts to Harry himself when Draco conjures up a cobra, and Harry is able to talk to it using Parseltongue (the language of snakes), a rare talent that few wizards possess. In The Chamber of Secrets, mandrake was used to cure those who had been petrified (turned to stone) by the glance of the Basilisk.Īt first, Harry, Ron, and Hermoine think it might be Draco Malfoy, based on his disdain of muggles and the fact that his father Lucius ( Jason Isaacs) was a student at Hogwarts 50 years ago, the last time that the Chamber of Secrets was opened. Certain parts of the Solanaceaes contain alkaloids, such as atropine and hyoscyamine, which have hallucinogenic properties along with other properties that make them valuable in the medical field. Medically, the mandrake belongs to the Solanaceae family along with henbane, jimsonweed, and belladonna, as well as some more common plants such as potatoes and tomatoes. Therefore, mandrake-pulling dogs were often used for this purpose. As in the movie, it was believed that mandrakes shrieked when being dug out of the ground and that their shrieks could drive a person mad. Some even used mandrake roots as familiars. For this reason, mandrake roots were highly sought by medieval alchemists and magicians for use in their rituals. Mandrake root has a tendency to bifurcate and some may even resemble the shape of a human. It is even mentioned in Shakespeare's Macbeth.The lore surrounding the mandrake root in The Chamber of Secrets is quite accurate. The root of the mandrake (genus Mandragora) has a long history in both the magical and the healing arts.
