Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

The Not-So-Golden Snitch
By AG

 
Dumbledore:
In the future, everyone will have cigarette lighters like these.
 
 
McGonagall:
I know all you fans are desperate for a good morph, but you'll have to settle for a sillhouette at the moment.
 
 
Dumbledore:
So what's wrong with Hagrid bringing the baby here?
 
 
McGonagall:
You mean besides the fact that he's prone to sitting on small living creatures?
 
 
Hagrid:
Check out my rather disruptive entrance! No, I don't need a haircut.
 
 
Dumbledore:
To avoid the complications of a celebrity childhood, let's have Harry grow up in an abusively snobbish family.
 
 
McGonagall:
Are you sure that's a good idea?
 
 
Dumbledore:
Trust me, this sort of thing breeds dramatic irony like you wouldn't believe.
 

~ HP ~

 
Harry:
Well, guess it's just another day in my abusive life. Don't suppose anything *cough* magical can happen today...
 
 
Dudley:
You can imagine me elation when they asked me to play the part of a boy who is "roughly the size of a baby killer whale."
 
 
Aunt Petunia:
There is nothing more frightening than a boy roughly the size of a baby killer whale throwing a temper tantrum.
 
 
Uncle Verne:
Harry, don't make Dudley's birthday any worse than he will himself.
 
 
Harry:
Hello, snake. It must suck to be you.
 
 
Snake:
Just for future reference, kid, it's not good to be able to speak snake.
 
 
Dudley:
Hey mummy, let's have a contest to see who can freak out more!
 
 
Uncle Verne:
It's all
your fault Dudley's wet and freaked!
 
 
Harry:
Well, baby killer whales
do need water...
 

~ HP ~

 
Harry:
Wow, it's my first letter in forever!
 
 
Uncle Verne:
What if that letter has anthrax? I better burn it for you.
 
 
Owl #1:
So...you here delivering another Harry Potter letter?
 
 
Owl #2:
No, I'm just here for the free owl chow.
 
 
Harry:
Somebody's flooding the house with letters...maybe they want me to read one.
 
 
Uncle Verne:
NO! THEY ALL HAVE ANTHRAX! TRUST ME!!
 
 
Dudley:
I guess it's a good thing we own a random cottage on an island in the middle of nowhere.
 
 
Harry:
For my birthday, I wish a giant bearded guy would take me off on a grand adventure...wow, that was quick.
 
 
Hagrid:
Hope you guys have insurance on this place...
 
 
Uncle Verne:
I can't believe it! There's someone on this planet that has more body fat than me!
 
 
Hagrid:
Hey Harry, ever done anything that could be contrewed as magical?
 
 
Harry:
Well, there was that snake thing, but I'm certain that has a scientific explanation.
 
 
Hagrid:
Would you rather go off on a grand adventure and see wondrous magicallyish things, or stay and watch doctors try to figure out Dudley's pig tail?
 
 
Harry:
Does the former include a dental plan?
 

~ HP ~

 
Harry:
I'm still trying to figure out how we got from an island in the middle of nowhere to London...
 
 
Hagrid:
We've got to head over to this magical bank in order to compound the already oversized dramatic irony.
 
 
Goblin #1:
We hate Harry. We hate everyone. And everything.
 
 
Goblin #2:
And ATMs. We especially hate ATMs.
 
 
Hagrid:
See this little bag, Harry? It's called "foreshadowing." I suggest you get friendly with it.
 
 
Harry:
Most kids get a Playstation for their birthday...I get a wand that makes my hair poof out and a snobbish snowy owl.
 
 
Hedwig:
Someday they'll make pink plastic backpacks of me!
 
 
Harry:
So what's with this oh-look-it's-Harry-Potter thing?
 
 
Hagrid:
It basically involves an evil nemesis named He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named that you'll be fighting in one form or other at the climax of each movie.
 
 
Fans:
You're never too young for good solid angst!
 
 
Fans:
...But you've got a few years before any bish-ness sets in.
 
 
Hagrid:
I'll just drop you off here with mysterious instructions and then randomly disappear.
 
 
Harry:
This is certainly less than helpful.
 
 
George:
Do we not have the coolest family ever?
 
 
Fred:
Just the red hair alone puts us in the Top 10.
 
 
Harry:
I don't suppose any of you could give a demonstration on how to run through a brick wall?
 
 
Ron:
Wow, I can feel the best friend vibes starting already.
 
 
Harry:
Check out this scar...it doubles as a controversial topic for fans of the original work.
 
 
Ron:
You may be more famous, but my British accent is way more authentic-sounding than yours.
 
 
Hermione:
I sound like a snot, but I'm actually the smartest of the trio.
 
 
Ron:
Too bad no one can pronounce your name.
 
 
Scabbers:
I am cute and cuddly...until the third book, that is.
 

~ HP ~

 
Harry:
Explain this again...why do the freshmen have to take the boats?
 
 
Hagrid:
Smile big, kiddies...this is going to be on the movie poster!
 
 
Malfoy:
Hello, Harry. Unlike Hermione, I actually am a snot.
 
 
Ron:
So your pals' names are Crabbe and Goyle...are the other two called Dopey and Sneezy?
 
 
Malfoy:
You three better prepare yourselves for some heavy-duty verbal abuse!
 
 
McGonagall:
Save the bully/victim interraction for a less appropriate time, please.
 
 
Sorting Hat:
I am an extra-disturbing type of freshmen initiation.
 
 
Ron:
Stop freaking, Hermione...the storyline decrees that we'll all end up in the same dorm.
 
 
Sorting Hat:
HEY, EVERYONE! WANT TO FIND OUT WHAT HARRY POTTER IS THINKING?!?
 
 
Dumbledore:
By the way, Filch would like to remind you to stay away from certain places that cause eminent death.
 
 
Fans:
...Which will all be visited by Harry by the end of the movie.
 
 
Filch:
I am so bitter, my cat won't even lick me.
 
 
Ron:
Wow, magic food...and it all tastes like chicken!
 
 
Nearly-Headless-Nick:
Don't mind my rather brief appearance. They didn't even bother to introduce Peeves.
 
 
Fans:
Well, we gotta have
something fill up this "Titanic"-length movie.
 
 
J.K. Rowling:
Just wait till you guys sit through 11 hours of "Goblet of Fire"...
 

~ HP ~

 
McGonagall:
Alright,
now you are allowed to observe the mad morphing skills.
 
 
Harry:
So what happens when we're late?
 
 
Ron:
I SUCK UP like it's my last day on earth!
 
 
McGonagall:
How sweet of you. Guess I'll refrain from turning you into sour movie critics for now.
 
 
Snape:
I'm so diabolically British it's almost sexy.
 
 
Harry:
Why do you hate me?
 
 
Snape:
Nonsense...I harbor no ill will towards any of my students. You accursed little worm.
 
 
Malfoy:
I have two facial expressions: smirk and smug smirk.
 
 
Hermione:
Notice me, I'm a genius!
 
 
Snape:
Sorry, but I hate geniuses too. If you want to get on my "good" side, try being a snobby rich guy's kid.
 

~ HP ~

 
Harry:
I am desperate for mail...gimmie that tabloid!
 
 
Harry:
Uh oh...according to this article, the foreshadowing has compounded.
 
 
Hermione:
Don't tell me we're talking about the main plot
already...
 
 
Ron:
Forget something, Neville?
 
 
Neville:
Oh yeah...I was supposed to tell J.K. Rowling to get her fat lazy butt in gear and finish the fifth book.
 
 
J.K. Rowling:
This fat lazy butt ain't goin' nowhere until I get more coffee inspiration.
 
 
Madame Hooch:
I'll be your coach, kids! And in case you're wondering; yes, I did drop my toaster in the bathtub this morning.
 
 
Neville:
It's just a little disturbing when you break your arm during the first practice.
 
 
Malfoy:
As head snot of this story, I decree it is time to reveal even more amazing and generally beneficial information about Harry's family!
 
 
McGonagall:
So...did I scare the crap out of you first-time viewers?
 
 
Fans:
Sorry, but only the sorting hat can pull that off.
 
 
Oliver Wood:
Worship me; I am the only bishounen you will see for a loooooong time!
 
 
Fans:
If we were here for the bishounen, we'd be watching "Lord of the Rings" instead.
 

~ HP ~

 
Harry:
Well darn, the stairs decided to switch on us. It's almost as if some wise omnipotent entity wants us to go into the forbidden area.
 
 
J.K. Rowling:
Mmm...cappuchino and chocolate croissant...
 
 
Filch:
There's nothing I hate more than adventurous little wizard kids. Except maybe cleaning cursed toilets.
 
 
Mrs. Norris:
I haven't bathed in eight years.
 
 
Hermione:
Next time,
I'm picking the hiding spots.
 
 
Ron:
IT'S A SNARLING CERBERUS! WE MUST BE AT THE GATES OF HELL!!!
 
 
Hermione:
And everyone says
I overreact...
 

~ HP ~

 
Flitwick:
I'm either a really friendly goblin or a really ugly human.
 
 
Ron:
Stupid feather! Stupid stupid stupid *@#&% feather!!
 
 
Hermione:
Stop mistaking my brilliance for snobbery!
 
 
Seamus:
Something tells me this exploding thing is going to become a running joke...
 
 
Ron:
Hermione is a nightmare...think I'll marry her someday.
 
 
Harry:
This is just a suggestion, Ron, but let's try leaving the verbal abuse to the movie's numerous villains.
 
 
Quirrel:
Happy Halloween, kids. We're all gonna die!
 
 
Dumbledore:
The day you see me panic is the day the world as we know it ends.
 
 
Harry:
I think we better go save Hermione now, considering we'll probably owe it to her four times by the end of the movie.
 
 
Troll:
I'm smart for a troll...I can attempt to hit small moving objects.
 
 
Harry:
Now I know that if I ever want to defeat a large stupid monster, I can just stick my wand up its nose.
 
 
Ron:
...A situation made all the more humorous by odd British vocabulary.
 
 
McGonagall:
I take away points from you and give points to you two...can you tell I'm an expert at fuzzy math?
 

~ HP ~

 
Snape:
Hello, Potter. I'm not sure you can handle the intensity of this upcoming CGI sequence.
 
 
Harry:
Me neither. I'm sure moping about it will make me feel better, though.
 
 
Oliver Wood:
Don't worry...you'll be fine as long as you stay away from any large blunt objects that can fracture your skull.
 
 
Lee Jordan:
I'm not biased. Really, I'm not.
 
 
Marcus Flint:
I cannot overemphasize how much I need braces.
 
 
Oliver Wood:
Did you take a few bludgers too many to the jaw?
 
 
Marcus Flint:
That's what I love about this game...you can knock the goalie unconscious and still not get fouled.
 
 
Ron:
HEY HARRY! NO PRESSURE!
 
 
Snape:
Speaking of pressure, at least try to stay on.
 
 
Hermione:
Don't like geniuses, eh? Take
this, you epitomy of diabolical Britishness!
 
 
Snape:
Pity my toasted shins, fans of the original work!
 
 
Fans:
Sorry, too busy watching Gryffindor players drop like flies.
 
 
Harry:
My first-time aerobatic skills are even freaking out the Slytherin seeker.
 
 
Golden Snitch:
What do I look like, a truffle?!
 

~ HP ~

 
Harry:
Snape's out to get me.
 
 
Hermione:
I concur with Harry. And since I'm the resident genius, he's right.
 
 
Hagrid:
Do me a favor...next time you talk with me, please bring a roll of duct tape so you can seal my mouth shut.
 
 
Harry:
We'll be back in about 20 minutes' screen time for more important information.
 

~ HP ~

 
Hermione:
So...got any Christmas plans, Harry?
 
 
Harry:
None of them involve going home to my baby killer whale of a cousin, if that's what you're wondering.
 
 
Ron:
Don't feel bad, Harry...I got left behind too, and I actually have a family.
 
 
Harry:
Amazing...I've actually gotten something besides oversized sweatpants for Christmas!
 
 
Ron:
An invisibility cloak! And you're supposed to "use it well."
 
 
Harry:
Great, I've always wondered what the girls' dressing room looks like!
 

~ HP ~

 
Harry:
This dark, empry library is way scarier than the girls' dressing room...and then again, maybe not.
 
 
Book:
Oh, sorry! Was I not supposed to make any noise?
 
 
Filch:
Where's that kid so I can slowly and delightfully torture him?
 
 
Harry:
Agh, must escape the resident pedophile!
 
 
Snape:
Who dares to interrupt my diabolical Britishness?!
 
 
Quirrel:
Does anyone even bother to ask why he's yelling at me?
 
 
Harry:
Hey look, it's my parents. Also known as the presidents of Angstland in this story.
 
 
Lily Potter:
Can I stop smiling now? My cheek muscles are frozen.
 
 
Dumbledore:
Harry, give your parents a break.
 
 
Harry:
But it's sooooo beautifuuuul....
 
 
Dumbledore:
That does it...I'm saving this mirror for the climax and I'm putting you on the patch.
 

~ HP ~

 
Hermione:
Nice adventures Harry, but I solved this mystery during some enjoyable relaxation time.
 
 
Ron:
It's not fair...it's just not fair...
 
 
Harry:
Hi, Hagrid. We're back to subtley interrogate you again.
 
 
Fang:
This is all so very exciting. Think I'll drool some more.
 
 
Hagrid:
Kids, don't tell anyone about this dragon I'm hatching, since I'll probably tell them myself.
 
 
Hermione:
Anatomically speaking, it looks more like a wyvern.
 
 
Malfoy:
Ha-ha, it is I...the Not-so-Golden Snitch!
 
 
McGonagall:
All of you get detention...including the little tattletale standing to the left.
 
 
Harry:
But we were just advancing the plot!
 
 
McGonagall:
Now I suggest you go advance the plot somewhere where you can get killed.
 

~ HP ~

 
Filch:
Being sent to eminent death...man, it's just not cruel enough.
 
 
Hagrid:
Aww, Norbert's gone...now I have to find a new snarling monster to cuddle.
 
 
Fang:
What, I'm not scary-looking enough?
 
 
Malfoy:
Pfpfpfpfpftt, I'm not scared...WAUUGH, WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!!!
 
 
Dark Creature:
I'm like a black rider without a horse or a sword!
 
 
Centaur:
And I look more like a monkey than a person.
 

~ HP ~

 
Ron:
Well, You-Know-Who's still alive and at the school...guess you're screwed, Harry.
 
 
Hermione:
Don't worry! As long as Dumbledore's here, you're safe from any evil nemeses.
 
 
Fans:
Which means he'll soon conveniently leave.
 
 
Hermione:
Finals are fun! Studying is enjoyable!
 
 
Ron:
You'd be the perfect teacher's pet if it wasn't for that irrepressible nonconformist streak.
 
 
Hagrid:
You guys up for the last bit of important "secret" information?
 
 
Harry:
Lay it on us!...You haven't laid it on anyone else, have you?
 
 
Hagrid:
Maaaay-beeee...
 
 
McGonagall:
Wait...you figured all this stuff out and I somehow never knew this?
 
 
Harry:
Pretty much. Gotta run, the climax is starting!
 
 
Hermione:
It's a good thing the giant dog is asleep...
 
 
Fluffy:
Fooled ya, didn't I?
 
 
Ron:
For just once I'd like to escape into a room that
doesn't contain a large creature bent on killing us...
 
 
Hermione:
Chalk up another victory for the resident genius!
 
 
Harry:
Is it just me, or does it seem like every challenge we face somehow utilizes each of our individual skills?
 
 
Ron:
Well, now we know there was a purpose to that miniature chess scene!
 
 
Hermione:
If I'm the resident genius, how come
he's leading the chess game?
 
 
Ron:
Pretty pleeeease don't kill me, Ms. Queen?
 
 
Queen:
Sure, you're young and innocent...but what the hey.
 
 
Ron:
Ack, I've been brutally beaten and knocked unconscious!
 
 
Hermione:
...But all you did was fall off the horse.
 
 
Harry:
Don't cheapen it! Besides, I need some excuse to face the archenemy by myself.
 
 
Quirrel:
OOOH! Had all you first-time viewers fooled!
 
 
Fans:
Sorry, we were spoiled three months ago.
 
 
Quirrel:
Now you know why I haven't washed my hair in 11 years.
 
 
Harry:
Woah, hey, there's little kids in the audience, here!
 
 
Voldemort:
I am pure evil. But you should ignore that and join me anyway.
 
 
Harry:
Never! You killed my father!
 
 
Voldemort:
No, Harry. I AM YOUR....wait, wrong movie.
 
 
Harry:
Wow, it's the sorcerer's stone...how'd that get there?
 
 
Quirrel:
Don't worry, master! I'll stop him by imitating the Mummy!
 
 
Voldemort:
Why must all of my life assistants be either stuttering dimwits or sniveling victims?
 
 
Harry:
'Cause the heroes already took all the intelligent sidekicks.
 
 
Voldemort:
Screw you! I'm going to rush through you as a cloud of evil spirit stuff!
 
 
Harry:
Not that that would knock me unconscious, but, you know...
 

~ HP ~

 
Dumbledore:
Now that the climax is done, I'm going to clear up any plot misunderstandings for the audience!
 
 
Fans:
Would you like the short or long list of plotholes?
 
 
Harry:
So...I'm free from evil nemeses from now on, right?
 
 
Dumbledore:
HAA! Pull the other one!
 
 
Ron:
Dang, you're awake...now I can't eat your chocolate!
 
 
Hermione:
We lost the house cup. Of course, knowing the nature of this movie, that'll be rectified within the next five minutes or so.
 
 
Dumbledore:
Right you are, once again!
 
 
Harry:
So I guess these extra points make up for the ones we lost during detention.
 
 
Fans:
In other words, the only reward doing good gives is to balance out the naughty you did along the way!
 
 
Malfoy:
Whereas being a snot doesn't really achieve anything.
 
 
Ron:
Alright, enough morality lessons for today...it's summer vacation!
 
 
Harry:
Um...yippie.
 
 
Ron:
Oh yeah...summer sucks for you. Well, don't have too much fun!
 
 
Harry:
Don't worry, I'm reeeeeally looking forward to that dusty cupboard.
 
 
J.K. Rowling:
While you're there, can you look for my missing muse? It's been lost since chapter 34 of "Goblet of Fire"...
