A petrified creature is transformed, along with any nonmagical object it is wearing or carrying, into a solid inanimate substance usually stone. Its weight increases by a factor of ten, and it ceases aging. The creature is incapacitated see the condition , can't move or speak, and is unaware of its surroundings.

Mrs Norris was the first victim of the Serpent of Slytherin when the Chamber of Secrets was re-opened in On Hallowe'en night, she was petrified by the basilisk when she saw its reflection in a puddle of water in front of the unused bathroom, in the second floor. At least part of the legend was revealed to be true in , when Tom Marvolo Riddle , the heir of Slytherin, opened the Chamber and used the Basilisk to attack Muggle-borns.

Dumbledore couldn't hear the basilisk because he wasn't a Parselmouth. If he heard any noises, they would have sounded to him like the pipes acting up, not like a snake speaking, because he wasn't born with the ability to hear snakes speaking.

Although Harry is very distantly related to Slytherin, his ability to speak Parseltongue comes from his connection to Voldemort. Albus Dumbledore is not a true Parselmouth, as he can understand Parseltongue, but cannot speak it. Dumbledore learned Parseltongue from his ex-partner, Gellert Grindelwald. Professor Dumbledore could understand it As J.

K Rowling revealed, Albus Dumbledore had mastered Parseltongue too — although he could not speak it aloud. We're not sure why Albus learnt the language, but perhaps the Hogwarts headmaster wanted a better understanding of Voldemort. He was a Gryffindor Hagrid's Hogwarts house is never mentioned in the books, but, given his kindness, noble nature and bravery, it might not come as that much of a surprise that Hagrid was in Gryffindor.

All of those? That entirely depends on your own personal preference. It is highly rated and enjoyed by lots of people. In the Gryfindor common room, beside the billboard. It is recommended for people ages Its reading level is around The role of the Basilisk in Harry Potter is the large snake who can harm people if they see it's eyes.

The basilisk is the snake that Voldemort "Tom Riddle" uses to make Harry come to the Chamber of Secrets because the basilisk kidnaps Ginny, Ron's younger sister and takes her to the Chamber of Secrets where Voldemort is. K Rowling Oh please. One doesn't do it justice.

The books are amazing. A unknown monster, which turns out to be a 60 foot long snake that kills people who look into its eyes, is attacking muggle-born students.

In the fiction book, 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets', there is Gilderoy Lockhart, who writes about people he has met that have done heroic things but puts himself as the one who does the heroic thing!

They're young and had other people around them. Siblings at that age don't tend to kiss one another in public. Harry Potter saved several people, but one of the most notable was early on in the series. He saved Ginny Weasley in the chamber of secrets. Gilderoy Lockheart first apperas in the chamber of secrets as the famous defencw against the dark arts teacher.

He is famous for doing heroic deeds and writing books about them, but other people actually did the things. The only proven causes of petrification are the gaze of the Gorgon and the Basilisk , the latter only when reflected in or seen through another object.

However, there may be a Dark spell that does the same. Victims of petrification are paralysed and unmovable, and seem to be unconscious; it takes careful examination to discern whether a victim is petrified or dead. The difference between petrification and death is that the petrified victim appears to enter rigor mortis instantaneously and remains that way, while a dead person enters, and leaves it, within a normal timeframe.
