GRANGER: I had you looking in the wrong section. How could I be so stupid?

                   I checked this out weeks ago for a bit of light reading.

WEASLEY: This is light?

GRANGER: Of course! Here it is!

                  Nicholas Flamel is the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone.

POTTER & WEASLEY: The what?

GRANGER: Honestly, don't you two read?

                   "The Philosopher's Stone is a legendary substance with astonishing powers.

                   It'll transform any metal into pure gold ...

                   ... and produces the Elixir of Life which will make the drinker immortal."

WEASLEY: Immortal?

GRANGER: It means you'll never die.

WEASLEY: I know what it means!

GRANGER: "The only Stone currently in existence belongs to Mr. Nicholas Flamel ...

                   ... the noted alchemist who last year celebrated his 665th birthday."

                   That's what Fluffy's guarding.

                   That's what's under the trap door. The Philosopher's Stone.

HAGRID: Don't wish to be rude, but I'm in no state to entertain.

GRANGER & POTTER & WEASLEY: We know about the Philosopher's Stone.

POTTER: We think Snape's trying to steal it.

HAGRID: Are you still on about him?

POTTER: We know he's after it. We don't know why.

HAGRID: Snape is one of the teachers protecting the Stone. He won't steal it.

POTTER: What?

HAGRID: You heard. Come on, I'm a bit preoccupied today.

POTTER: Wait a minute. "One of the teachers"?

GRANGER: There are other things defending the Stone, aren't there?

                  Spells, enchantments.

HAGRID: Right.

HAGRID: Waste of bloody time, if you ask me.

               Ain't no one gonna get past Fluffy.

               Ain't a soul knows how, except for me and Dumbledore.

               I shouldn't have told you that. I should not have told you that.

POTTER: Hagrid, what exactly is that?

HAGRID: That? It's ...

WEASLEY: I know what that is!

                  But, Hagrid, how did you get one?

HAGRID: I won it. Off a stranger I met down at the pub.

              Seemed quite glad to be rid of it, as a matter of fact.

GRANGER: Is that ...

... a dragon?

WEASLEY: That's not just a dragon. That's a Norwegian Ridgeback.

                  My brother works with these in Romania.

HAGRID: Isn't he beautiful? Oh, bless him. Look, he knows his mummy.

              Hello, Norbert.

POTTER: Norbert?

HAGRID: He's gotta have a name, don't he?

               Don't you, Norbert?

               He'll have to be trained up a bit, of course.

               Who's that?

POTTER: Malfoy.

HAGRID: Oh, dear.

POTTER: Hagrid always wanted a dragon. Told me so the first time I met him.

WEASLEY: It's crazy. And worse, Malfoy knows.

GRANGER: I don't understand. Is that bad?

WEASLEY: It's bad.

MCGONAGALL: Good evening.

                            Nothing, I repeat, nothing ...

                            ... gives a student the right to walk about at night.

                            Therefore, as punishment for your actions, 50 points will be taken.

POTTER: 50?!

MCGONAGALL: Each.

                            To ensure it doesn't happen again ...

                            ... all four of you will receive detention.

MALFOY: Excuse me, professor, perhaps I heard you wrong.

                I thought you said the four of us.

MCGONAGALL: No, you heard me correctly.

                            Honorable as your intentions were, you too were out of bed after hours.

                            You will join your classmates in detention.



I had you looking in the wrong section. How could I be so stupid? (Na napačnem oddelku sta iskala. Kako sem bila neumna.)
I checked this out weeks ago for a bit of light reading. (Pred tedni sem si sposodila to. Nekaj lahkega.)
This is light? (Lahkega?)
Of course! Here it is! (Seveda, tu je!)
Nicholas Flamel is the only known maker of the Philosopher's Stone. (Nicolas Flamel je edini človek, ki je napravil kamen modrosti.)
The what? (Kaj?)
Honestly, don't you two read? (Ali vidva sploh kaj prebereta?)
"The Philosopher's Stone is a legendary substance with astonishing powers. ("Kamen modrosti je legendarna snov z osupljivimi močmi.)
It'll transform any metal into pure gold ... (Vsako kovino spremeni v zlato)
... and produces the Elixir of Life which will make the drinker immortal." (in daje napoj nesmrtnosti. Kdor ga spije, je nesmrten.")
Immortal? (Nesmrten?)
It means you'll never die. (Ne umre.)
I know what it means! (Vem!)
"The only Stone currently in existence belongs to Mr. Nicholas Flamel ... ("Edini tak kamen, ki obstaja, pripada g. Nicolasu Flamelu,)
... the noted alchemist who last year celebrated his 665th birthday." (znanemu alkimistu, ki je lani praznoval 665. rojstni dan.")
That's what Fluffy's guarding. (To straži Miško v tretjem nadstropju.)
That's what's under the trap door. The Philosopher's Stone. (Pod loputo je kamen modrosti.)
Don't wish to be rude, but I'm in no state to entertain. (Ne zamerite, ampak danes ne sprejemam gostov.)
We know about the Philosopher's Stone. (Vemo za kamen modrosti.)
We think Snape's trying to steal it. (Raws ga hoče ukrasti.)
Are you still on about him? (Raws? Pa ne da ga še zmeraj sumite.)
We know he's after it. We don't know why. (Kamen hoče. Ne vemo le, zakaj.)
Snape is one of the teachers protecting the Stone. He won't steal it. (Raws ga je pomagal zavarovati. Ne bo ga ukradel.)
What? (Kaj?)
You heard. Come on, I'm a bit preoccupied today. (Slišal si. Delo me čaka.)
Wait a minute. "One of the teachers"? (Čakaj malo. Pomagal?)
There are other things defending the Stone, aren't there? (Jasno! Kamen varujejo še druge stvari.)
Spells, enchantments. (Uroki, čarovnije.)
Right. (Tako je.)
Waste of bloody time, if you ask me. (Izguba časa, če mene vprašate.)
Ain't no one gonna get past Fluffy. (Nihče ne more mimo Miškota.)
Ain't a soul knows how, except for me and Dumbledore. (Samo jaz in Dumbledore veva, kako se pride mimo.)
I shouldn't have told you that. I should not have told you that. (Tega vam ne bi smel povedati.)
Hagrid, what exactly is that? (Hagrid, kaj je to?)
That? It's ... (To? To je ...)
I know what that is! (Vem, kaj je.)
But, Hagrid, how did you get one? (Kako pa si ga dobil?)
I won it. Off a stranger I met down at the pub. (Pri kartah. Od tujca v krčmi.)
Seemed quite glad to be rid of it, as a matter of fact. (Kar vesel je bil, da se ga je znebil.)
Is that ... (Je to)
... a dragon? (zmaj?)
That's not just a dragon. That's a Norwegian Ridgeback. (Ne le navaden zmaj. Norveški grbavec je.)
My brother works with these in Romania. (Brat Charlie dela z njimi v Romuniji.)
Isn't he beautiful? Oh, bless him. Look, he knows his mummy. (Ali ni lep? Glejte, pozna mamico.)
Hello, Norbert. (Živjo, Norbert.)
Norbert?
He's gotta have a name, don't he? (Ime mora imeti.)
Don't you, Norbert? (Kajne?)
He'll have to be trained up a bit, of course. (Zdresiral ga bom.)
Who's that? (Kdo je to?)
Malfoy. (Malfoy.)
Oh, dear. (Ojej.)
Hagrid always wanted a dragon. Told me so the first time I met him. (Vedno je hotel imeti zmaja. Povedal mi je, ko sem ga spoznal.)
It's crazy. And worse, Malfoy knows. (To je noro. Pa še Malfoy ve.)
I don't understand. Is that bad? (Ne razumem. Je to slabo?)
It's bad. (Slabo je.)
Good evening. (Dober večer.)
Nothing, I repeat, nothing ... (Nič, ponavljam, nič)
... gives a student the right to walk about at night. (vam ne daje pravice, da ponoči hodite naokrog.)
Therefore, as punishment for your actions, 50 points will be taken. (Za kazen vam bom odbila petdeset točk.)
50?! (Petdeset?)
Each. (Vsakemu.)
To ensure it doesn't happen again ... (In da se ne bi ponovilo,) 
... all four of you will receive detention. (boste vsi štirje pridržani.)
Excuse me, professor, perhaps I heard you wrong. (Oprostite, morda sem narobe slišal.)
I thought you said the four of us. (Ste rekli "vsi štirje"?)
No, you heard me correctly. (Prav si me slišal.)
Honorable as your intentions were, you too were out of bed after hours. (Čeprav si imel pošten namen, tudi ti nisi bil v postelji.)
You will join your classmates in detention. (Skupaj s sošolci boš pridržan.)
