“But won’t they notice if you shut your ears in the oven door?”
“Dobby doubts it, sir. Dobby is always having to punish himself for something, sir. They lets Dobby get on with it, sir. Sometimes they reminds me to do extra punishments.” (14)

“Dobby has heard of your greatness, sir, but of your goodness, Dobby never knew.” (15)

Ron had gone a nasty, greenish color, his eyes fixed on the house. The other three wheeled around.
Mrs. Weasley was marching across the yard, scattering chickens ... it was remarkable how much she looked like a saber toothed tiger.
“Ah,” said Fred.
“Oh, dear,” said George.
“So,” she said.
“Mornin,’ Mum,” said George, in what he clearly thought was a jaunty, winning voice. (33)

“Speaking of Gryffindor -” Professor McGonagall said sharply, but Harry cut in: “Professor, when we took the car, term hadn’t started yet, so - so Gryffindor shouldn’t really have any points taken from it, should it?” He finished.
Professor McGonagall gave him a piercing look, but he was sure she almost smiled. Her mouth looked less thin anyway. (82)

Errol slumped, unconscious, onto the table, his legs in the air. (87)

It was remarkable how he could show every one of those brilliant teeth even when he wasn’t talking. (90)

Ron was now staring at Lockhart with an expression of disbelief on his face; Seamus Finnigan and Dean Thomas, who were sitting in front, were shaking with silent laughter. (100)

Seamus Finnigan couldn’t control himself. He let out a snort of laughter that even Lockhart couldn’t mistake for a scream of terror. (101)

Wood took a moment to regain control of himself. Their last defeat was clearly still torturing him. (109)

Wooden filing cabinets stood around the walls; from their label he could see that they contained details of every student he had ever punished. Fred and George Weasley had an entire drawer to themselves. (125)

The Chamber of Secrets has opened. Enemies of the heir, beware. (138)

He pulled out an enormous peacock quill. “Yes, nice, isn’t it?” he said, misreading the revolted the look on Ron’s face. (163)

“A month?” said Ron. “Malfoy could have attacked half the school by then!” But Hermione’s eyes narrowed dangerously again, and he added swiftly, “But it’s the best plan we’ve got, so full steam ahead, I say.” (166)

“We’ve been flying in all weathers -” (“Too true,” muttered George Weasley, “I haven’t been properly dry since August.”) (167)

He saw a glitter of teeth.
“Oh no, not you,” he moaned.
“Doesn’t know what he’s saying,” said Lockhart. (172)

“You better get lost before my bones come back, Dobby, or I might strangle you.” Dobby smiled weakly.
“Dobby is used to death threats, sir. Dobby gets them five times a day at home.” (177)

“What does this mean, Albus?” Professor McGonagall asked urgently.
“It means,” said Dumbledore, “that the Chamber of Secrets is indeed open again.” (180)

“You know what, Harry? If he doesn’t stop trying to save your life, he’s going to kill you.” (184)

Deliberately causing mayhem in Snape’s class was about as safe as poking a sleeping dragon in the eye. (186)

“It’s not possible to live with the Dursleys and not hate them,” said Harry. “I’d like to see you try it.” (200)

“You don’t know how bizarre it is to see Goyle thinking.” (218) Ron looked as though he had just been told he had to go and live in the Forbidden Forest.
“Can you imagine me taking exams with this?” he asked Harry, holding up his wand, which had just started whistling loudly. (284)

“Prepare his class,” Ron sneered after him. “Gone to curl his hair is more like it.” (288)

“The Heir of Slytherin,” said Professor McGonagall, who was very white, “left another message. Right underneath the first one. ‘Her skeleton will lie in the Chamber forever.’”
Professor Flitwick burst into tears.
“Who is it?” said Madam Hooch.... “Which student?”
“Ginny Weasley.” (293)

There was a dull thud and a loud, “Ow!” It sounded as though Ron had just kicked Lockhart in the shins. ...
There was another thud and another “ow!” from behind the rocks. (304)

"So ends the famous Harry Potter," said Riddle's distant voice. "Alone in the Chamber of Secrets, forsaken by his friends, defeated at last by the Dark Lord he so unwisely challenged. You'll be back with your dear Mudblood mother soon, Harry... She bought you twelve years of borrowed time... but Lord Voldemort got you in the end, as you knew he must..." (321) Gilderoy Lockhart was sitting there humming placidly to himself....
Lockhart peered good-naturedly up at them all.
“Hello,” he said. “Odd sort of place, this, isn’t it? Do you live here?”
“No,” said Ron, raising his eyebrows at Harry. (324)

Harry could hear Lockhart dangling below him, saying, “Amazing! Amazing! It’s just like magic!” (325)

“You won’t tease him, will you?” she added anxiously.
“Wouldn’t dream of it,” said Fred, who was looking like his birthday had come early.
“Definitely not,” said George, sniggering. (341)

“Your aunt and uncle will be proud, though, won’t they? When they hear what you did this year?” said Hermione.
“Proud?” said Harry. “Are you crazy? All those times I could have died and didn’t manage it? They’ll be furious...” (341)
