Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone: Chapter 15 - The Forbidden Forest
Chapter 15
The Forbidden Forest
Filch takes the children directly to Professor McGonagall. She yells and screams and yells some more. She cannot believe the level of disobedience demonstrated by first-year students. She has no choice, she says, but to take away points from Gryffindor - 50 points for each child! They are lucky, she says, that she does not expel them right then and there!
When the other children of Gryffindor house wake up the next morning, they see the House Point Counter. They have lost one hundred and fifty points in one day? At first, they cannot believe it! But then they hear the stories. In one night, Harry goes from one of the most popular and admired students at Hogwarts, to the most hated. Even children from Slytherin make fun of him - they thank Harry for putting them in first place!
The only good thing that comes out of this whole situation is that Professor McGonagall thinks it is only a plan to give Malfoy detention. She still does not know anything about Hagrid and his dragon, or the invisibility cloak. If he wants to remain at Hogwarts and not be expelled, Harry thinks, he decides to mind his own business from now on. He focuses the next few days on preparing for his exams.
Then, one day while he is at breakfast, Harry receives a letter. Hermione and Ron also receive the same letter:
Your detention will take place at eleven o’clock tonight. Meet Mr. Filch at the entrance to the castle.
Professor M. McGonagall
Harry has almost forgotten about detention. But they all feel they deserve the punishment. So, at eleven o’clock, Harry, Hermione and Ron leave the Gryffindor common room and go to the front entrance of the castle. Filch is already there - and so is Malfoy. Harry has forgotten about Malfoy, too! “Follow me,” says Filch. He lights a lamp and leads them out of the castle and towards the Forbidden Forest.
Hagrid is there waiting for them. “Is that you, Filch?” Hagrid yells, “Hurry up! I want to get this over with! Let’s go, all of you, into the forest we go. We have work to do.” Malfoy makes a strange sound. “The forest?” he asks, his voice is full of fear. “We can’t go into the forest. It’s full of horrible monsters - werewolves and vampires…” he makes the strange sound again. Then he is silent.

The Forbidden Forest
A floresta proibida
Filch takes the children directly to Professor McGonagall. She yells and screams and yells some more. She cannot believe the level of disobedience demonstrated by first-year students. She has no choice, she says, but to take away points from Gryffindor - 50 points for each child! They are lucky, she says, that she does not expel them right then and there!
Filch leva as crianças diretamente até a Professora McGonagall. Ela grita e berra e grita mais um pouco. Ela não consegue acreditar no nível de desobediência demonstrado pelos alunos do primeiro ano. Ela não tem escolha, diz ela, a não ser tirar pontos da Grifinória - 50 pontos para cada criança! Eles têm sorte, diz ela, de ela não os expulsar ali mesmo!
When the other children of Gryffindor house wake up the next morning, they see the House Point Counter. They have lost one hundred and fifty points in one day? At first, they cannot believe it! But then they hear the stories. In one night, Harry goes from one of the most popular and admired students at Hogwarts, to the most hated. Even children from Slytherin make fun of him - they thank Harry for putting them in first place!
Quando as outras crianças da casa da Grifinória acordam na manhã seguinte, elas veem o Balcão de Pontos da Casa. Eles perderam cento e cinquenta pontos em um dia? A princípio, eles não conseguem acreditar! Mas então eles ouvem as histórias. Em uma noite, Harry passa de um dos alunos mais populares e admirados de Hogwarts, para o mais odiado. Até as crianças da Sonserina zombam dele - agradecem a Harry por colocá-los em primeiro lugar!
The only good thing that comes out of this whole situation is that Professor McGonagall thinks it is only a plan to give Malfoy detention. She still does not know anything about Hagrid and his dragon, or the invisibility cloak. If he wants to remain at Hogwarts and not be expelled, Harry thinks, he decides to mind his own business from now on. He focuses the next few days on preparing for his exams.
A única coisa boa que resulta de toda essa situação é que a Professora McGonagall pensa que é apenas um plano para deter Malfoy. Ela ainda não sabe nada sobre Hagrid e seu dragão, ou sobre a capa da invisibilidade. Se ele quiser permanecer em Hogwarts e não ser expulso, Harry pensa, ele decide cuidar da sua vida a partir de agora. Ele se concentra nos próximos dias na preparação para os exames.
Then, one day while he is at breakfast, Harry receives a letter. Hermione and Ron also receive the same letter:
Então, um dia, enquanto tomava o café da manhã, Harry recebe uma carta. Hermione e Ron também recebem a mesma carta:
Your detention will take place at eleven o’clock tonight. Meet Mr. Filch at the entrance to the castle.
Sua detenção ocorrerá às onze horas desta noite. Encontre o Sr. Filch na entrada do castelo.
Professor M. McGonagall
Professora M. McGonagall
Harry has almost forgotten about detention. But they all feel they deserve the punishment. So, at eleven o’clock, Harry, Hermione and Ron leave the Gryffindor common room and go to the front entrance of the castle. Filch is already there - and so is Malfoy. Harry has forgotten about Malfoy, too! “Follow me,” says Filch. He lights a lamp and leads them out of the castle and towards the Forbidden Forest.
Harry quase se esqueceu da detenção. Mas todos sentem que merecem o castigo. Então, às onze horas, Harry, Hermione e Ron saem da sala comunal da Grifinória e vão para a entrada principal do castelo. Filch já está lá – e Malfoy também. Harry também se esqueceu de Malfoy! “Siga-me”, diz Filch. Ele acende uma lâmpada e os leva para fora do castelo em direção à Floresta Proibida.
Hagrid is there waiting for them. “Is that you, Filch?” Hagrid yells, “Hurry up! I want to get this over with! Let’s go, all of you, into the forest we go. We have work to do.” Malfoy makes a strange sound. “The forest?” he asks, his voice is full of fear. “We can’t go into the forest. It’s full of horrible monsters - werewolves and vampires…” he makes the strange sound again. Then he is silent.
Hagrid está lá esperando por eles. “É você, Filch?” Hagrid grita: “Depressa! Eu quero acabar com isso! Vamos todos vocês para a floresta. Temos trabalho a fazer.” Malfoy faz um som estranho. "A floresta?" ele pergunta, sua voz está cheia de medo. “Não podemos entrar na floresta. Está cheio de monstros horríveis – lobisomens e vampiros…” ele faz o som estranho novamente. Então ele fica em silêncio.
