Albus Dumbledore: Well done, Slytherin. However, recent events must be taken into account. And I have a few last-minute points to award. To Miss Hermione Granger, for the cool use of intellect... while others were in grave peril... 50 points. Second, to Mr. Ronald Weasley, for the best-played game of chess that Hogwarts has seen these many years, 50 points. And third... to Mr. Harry Potter... for pure nerve and outstanding courage... I award Gryffindor house 60 points. Finally, it takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to your enemies... but a great deal more to stand up to your friends. I award 10 points... to Neville Longbottom. Assuming that my calculations are correct I believe... that a change of decoration is in order. Gryffindor wins the house cup.
