How we cite our quotes: All quotations are from Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
Quote #1
DOBBY: Harry Potter must say he's not going back to school.
HARRY POTTER: I can't. Hogwarts is my home.
DOBBY: Then Dobby must do it, sir, for Harry Potter's own good.
You've gotta hand it to Harry Potter—he never takes the easy way out. Dobby is threatening him and Harry knows he will get in major trouble but he refuses to say that he won't go back to Hogwarts. But even though Harry could lie to save his own skin, he still decides not to. This is a kid who makes good choices. Even if they get him in hot water.

PROFESSOR MCGONAGALL: Hogwarts was founded over a thousand years ago by the four greatest witches and wizards of the age: Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Rowena Ravenclaw, and Salazar Slytherin […] 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.
Everyone has to pick their own journey in life. For Salazar Slytherin, it meant breaking off from the other three Hogwarts founders and pursuing the path of murder and genocide. So: not such great choices.
Quote #3
GILDEROY LOCKHART: On the count of three cast your charms to disarm your opponent. Only to disarm. We don't want any accidents here. One. Two—
DRACO MALFOY: Everte Statum!
Wow. Is there anything Draco Malfoy won't cheat at? He can't even wait until Lockhart counts to "three" before he's casting spells in dueling club. Draco is constantly making hateful choices throughout this movie. But is that all his doing? Or is he being influenced by someone else?
