I reread CoS and marked all the places that I thought were relevant, and could possibly
foreshadow the discovery that will be revealed in Book Six.
1. On Pg. 138 of CoS, when the Chamber is first opened, painted on the wall are the
words: ENEMIES OF THE HEIR, BEWARE! We all now know that Harry is an enemy of the
Heir, but for some reason, I'm not sure why, I think it alludes to the past as well. Salazar
Slytherin became enemies with Godric Gryffindor, so it would be obvious that their Heirs
would be enemies. Perhaps this alludes to Harry being the Heir of Gryffindor, as his
obvious enemy is the Heir of Slytherin, Voldemort.
2. Pg. 159, Harry discovers what Polyjuice potion is and how to make it. Perhaps it will be
used in a future story line.
3. Pg. 180, Harry discovers that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened before while
listening in on Dumbledore's conversation with McGonagall.
4. Pg 195, while dueling, Harry discovers that he is a parselmouth. It is well known that
Salazaar Slytherin was a parselmoouth, and maybe there is a correlation here other than
Harry getting it because Voldemort transferred it to him.
5. Pg. 202, the second attack at Hogwarts happens, and Justin Finch-Fletchly and Nearly
Headless Nick are found petrified.
6. Pg. 230, Harry finds Tom Riddles diary, and on Pg. 240 Harry first communicate with
Tom Riddle. Perhaps he will communicate with another form of Voldemort's younger self
in the future?
7. Pg. 257, the third attack at Hogwarts happens, this time to Hermione and Penelope
Clearwater.
8. Pg. 262, Hagrid is taken to Azkaban over suspicions to what happened in the past.
Dumbledore is suspended from Hogwarts Headmaster position, but he says he will " have
only truly left this school when none here are loyal to me. You will also find that help is
always given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it. I think he is foreshadowing here that
Harry will be given help once he figures out the story behind the Chamber, and he is
helped.
9. Pg. 264, Hagrids leaves message on how to find Aragog.
10. Pg. 278, Harry and Ron find out that it wasn't Hagrid that opened the Chamber, and
that Aragog wasn't the monster within.
11. Pg. 290, Harry discovers a peice of paper in Hermione's hand that has information
about the basilisk, therefore revealing to him what the creature inside the Chamber is
and how it's getting around.
12. Pg. 293, a new message appears on the wall outside the Chamber, and Ginny is
taken.

13. Pg. 298, Ron and Harry find out that Professor Lockhart is a fraud and has been
lyinhis adventures.
14. Pg. 299, Ron, Harry, and Lockheart find out how Myrtle died, and try to get
information out of her.
15. Pg. 310, Tom reveals that he did tell Ginny some of his secrets in this passage:
"Powerful enough to start feeding Miss Weasley a few of my secrets, to start pouring a
little of my soul back into her..." Maybe this foreshadows that Ginny actually may have
some information that could be important to the fall of the Dark Lord.
16. Pg. 314, Harry finds out that Tom is actually Voldemort, as well as the last remaining
descendant of Salazar Slytherin, whos blood runs through his veins from his mother's
side.
17. Pg. 315, Fawkes comes to help Harry, bringing the Sorting Hat, which holds the
sword of Godric Gryffindor.
18. Pg 317, Harry finds out that he is one of only two parselmouths that has attended
Hogwarts since Salazar Slytherin, the other being Tom Riddle.
19. Pg. 329, Dumbledorre reveals what Tom Riddle did after leaving Hogwarts. "He
disappeared after leaving the school...traveled far and wide...sank so deeply into the
Dark Arts, consorted with the very worst of our kind, underwent so many dangerous,
magical transformations, that when he resurfaced as Lord Voldemort, he was barely
recognizable. Hardly anyone connected Lord Voldemort with the clever, handsome boy
who was once Head Boy here." Perhaps we will find out more about what Tom did after
graduation, or why Dumbledore knows so much about his past. Perhaps we'll also find ut
why he became Head Boy.
20. Pg. 333, Harry finds out that Voldemort transferred some of his powers to him during
the attack. He also finds that he shares a lot of the traits that Salazar Slytherin had: "His
own rare gift, Parsletongue - resourcefullness - determination - a certain disregard for
the rules"
21. Pg. 333, Harry finds out that the sword that was delivered to him originally belonged
to Godric Gryffindor. Perhaps this is another allusion to the fact that Harry is the Heir of
Gryffindor?
These are the ones that I found while skimming through the pages, I am sure there are
many more. Anyone have any thoughts on these, please feel free toshare!

Another thread states that the CoS DVD has JKR saying that the Chamber of Secrets will
be re-opened...

I feel like Harry's learning how to open the chamber of secrets will be the link or at least
part of it!
Harry also learns that Tom Riddle is a half-blood - just like him! Although Tom
Riddle/Voldemort is defenately not the HBP, the fact that he is half blood (like Harry) as
well as the heir of Slytherin has to be important information.
I feel like the HBP has to be the heir of something. The heir of Gryffindor seems most
likely! JKR states that it isn't Harry so I am left pondering exactly who this Half-Blood
Prince will be... Hurry Up JKR!!!

Something to came to me whilst going through some notes - remember when Harry was
in Knockturn Alley and in the Dark Arts shop, hiding from the Malfoys, he overheard
Lucius talking about some of the 'items' he had, and also when Harry and Ron had used
the Polyjuice Potion Draco told them about the secret room his father had under the
dining room in their mansion?
Wonder if this secret room will come into HBP? Either that a vital piece of evidence of
Voldemort's wrong doing in the past; a link to the new DADA Professor, or what?
Any suggestions?

Now that is a great catch!
I think we need to mark that one down
The Chamber of Secrets seems to be the biggest thing I can think of - and with the talk
about seeing it again ...
Also, I am sure I read we would be seeing more of Myrtle - and why some people
become ghosts ... I wondering if this might be the book ...
Perhaps biggest of all I can see - another trip down memory lane and perhaps some
answers to how a certain dark lord knew he needed to write a diary to re-birth - and 'the
steps I took long ago'

Posted by: Tinkerbell

So perhaps the Malfoys had some other of Tom Riddle's school things (as mentioned by
Dumbledore towards the end of CoS) and perhaps within this were plans of the Chamber
(although not revealing where this was within Hogwarts) and the Malfoys either have re-

created this within the secret room of their mansion. I can't help but think that the
Malfoys have a link with Voldemort (other than Lucius being a DE) that is in some way
connected to the ways that the Dark Lord tried to ensure his return!

If the Chamber is reopened does it necessarily hsve to be used for evil? I would think
that the Order could use it for some purpose. It would be a nice slap in the face, using
Slytherin's secret space against his desendant, Voldemort.
On the other hand, it could be the way he gets into the castle...very scary.

Posted by: Weasleyfanforever

I like the idea here. I think it would be kinda like what Voldemort arranged, having
someone carry out his plans, and almost killing Harry, right under Dumbledore's nose in
GoF.
Also, I think that if the Order were to use it, they may find something new out about
either Voldemort or Salazaar Slytherin or Voldemort.
You're other point, of Voldemort getting into the school that way is interesting as well.
Something that popped into my head when I read that was, the tunnel/cave that the
basilisk came out of. Could it be that the end of the cave/tunnel on the inside isn't a dead
end, but disguised as such, and maybe he could get in that way? Kinda out there, but I
don't know....

Posted by: Blaise

I think some of the things we will see come strong through will be some of the stuff
touched upon in CoS with regards to Godric and Salazar ...
I think we will also see how and why Voldemort wrote the diary - and knew to enchant it
with the effects he did

Nice one!! My first thought was that the Chamber, being used by Riddle as the only
descendant of Slytherin, meant that it could only be used for evil purpose, but thinking
about it more, we have discussed before that the final battle between Voldemort and
Harry could well take place within the Chamber - so why not allow Harry to use some of
the Chambers secrets to defeat Voldemort?

Posted by: Blaise

Well see - the Chamber of Secrets was sealed only for a Slytherin Heir - was built by a
Slytherin etc - I'm not sure he would build in a way to bring the heir of Slytherin down.
But - and this is the postive - perhaps they are using the Chamber to conceal something
that can bring the heir down - but sealing it etc meant only the neir could get in etc would make sense ...

It has seemed fishy to me that noone has really taken a look at the chamber since it was
discovered in CoS. I would have thought that Dumbledore would have wanted to search
it and find any secrets it held as soon as possible, especially since he knew that
voldemort was trying to come back and maybe he could use this space under the castle
for more of his scheming.
Maybe dumbledore has already searched it and found some things that could help them
or at least removed some things that could have helped voldemort. maybe we will see
voldemort return to the chamber in the last book and the final battle take place there but
dumbledore has removed all the weapons that voldemort had stashed there and he won't
know what to do since his plan will have been foiled.

Posted by: Blaise

See I share your point on that ...
Considering it's importance to Voldemort and especially the descendant - why is it still
there?
I would have thought Dumbledore would have had it collapsed - at the very least ..
I would also have expected more investigations into what it held - what was the purpose
of it etc - but yah - it was all forgotten about.
At the very least Dumbledore should have sealed it or even placed the Fidelius charm on
it ...

So yah - same kind of questions - why was it just forgotten - seems almost clumsy to
think we would all forget about it!

Posted by: Kingsley

I think the chamber in Dumbledore's mind is more of a bait when Voldemort does come
to the school
We know that DD knows about the chamber and it hasnt been destroyed and we know
that he "didnt" find it the first time
Of course DD can use the excuse that he doenst speak Parseltongue
Yeah I definitely believes that DD is planning for Voldemort to return to the Chamber--so
the question is what is he doing about it

Posted by: Blaise

It is a risky ploy uniting the last decendant of Salazar with the area he specially built especially considering we are still to know what the exact secrets of the place are.
The strategy of trying to trap Voldemort in Hogwarts would seem almost suicidal
considering Voldemorts lack of respect for any life - his desperation and what is more what he would have to had undertaken to actually get in there ...
Perhaps Dumbledore feel's Harry stands the best chance of fighting Voldemort in a place
that affords him a huge amount of security - and also contains the only person Voldemort
has ever feared ...

Bearing in mind other discussions we have had regarding Voldemort 'breaching' security
at Hogwarts, would Dumbledore actually allow Voldemort to come into the school, even
if he thinks it is a case of 'better the devil you know' regarding the venue of any
altercation between the two?
I just think Harry might feel uncomfortable knowing that Dumbledore actually let
Voldemort into the school, when he is supposed to be protecting not only Harry, but the
other students too.
