Beneath Hogwarts, below the dungeons and below the lake, there is a room that has been waiting for almost a thousand years. Tonight we go down to it slowly, the way you go down a staircase when the whole house is asleep. We follow the quarrel between four founders, the chamber Salazar Slytherin built, the creature raised inside it, and the lonely boy from a London orphanage who opened it in 1943. Then we walk through the winter of 1992, when it opened again, and follow Harry and Ron down the pipe. Settle in, let the names and dates drift past, and fall asleep to the long quiet story of Hogwarts’ darkest secret.
In this video: the four founders and the great schism, the Chamber’s hidden entrance, the basilisk, Parseltongue, the Gaunt family, Tom Riddle’s years at Hogwarts, Myrtle, Hagrid and Aragog, the diary, Ginny, the petrifications, the descent into the pipes, and what the Chamber left behind.
Sleep well, and goodnight.
