[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] enters a long chamber; at the end is a giant statue of a wizard, probably [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Salazar Slytherin|Salazar Slytherin]]., It haswith an ancient, monkey-like face withand a long thin beard, and is wearing sweeping robes. [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Ginny Weasley|Ginny]] is lying on the floor. As Harry tries to revive her, a tall, black-haired boy identifying himself as [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Tom Marvolo Riddle|Tom Riddle]] approaches. Riddle, holding Harry's dropped wand, explains he is a memory, preserved in his diary for fifty years. He opened the Chamber of Secrets fifty years ago, intending to purge [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Muggle|Muggle]]-borns and Half-bloods from the school. However, when the attacks were about to close the school and because [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore]] (then the Transfiguration teacher) kept such a close watch on him, he halted the attacks and framed [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]]. He left behind a diary containing his sixteen-year-old self's memory in hopes it would, one day, fall into an unsuspecting victim's hands to help finish his work.
 
Ginny had been writing in the diary all year. Riddle answered sympathetically, and Ginny confessed her fears, hopes, and feelings to him, partially pouring her soul into him during the process, which was exactly what he wanted. Gradually growing more powerful, he eventually poured a portion of his own soul back into her, possessing her and using her body to strangle the school roosters, write on the walls, and open the Chamber of Secrets. He tells Harry how Ginny related Harry's entire history and how happy he was when Harry found the diary after Ginny, becoming fearful, threw it away. He was disappointed when Ginny reclaimed it. Seeing Harry with the diary on Valentine's day, she feared it would reveal her secrets, and so she ransacked Harry's room to retrieve it. Tom forced Ginny into the Chamber for two purposes: first, to sap her remaining life force and fully return to life; and second, to lure Harry Potter there so he could meet him directly.

[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Fawkes|Fawkes]], Dumbledore's [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Phoenix|Phoenix]], suddenly appears in a burst of fire and drops the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Sorting Hat|Sorting Hat]] at Harry's feet, then perches on his shoulder. Tom is openly contemptuous: a songbird and an old hat. This is what Dumbledore sends to his allies? Tom again demands to know how Harry defeated Voldemort. Riddle's form is becoming more solid while Ginny's life force fades, and Harry must act quickly if he is to defeat him. Harry tells Riddle that by sacrificing her life for her son, his mother saved him from Voldemort and reduced him to an ineffectual remnant.
 
Containing his rage, Tom agrees that would indeed would be a powerful protection. He then summons the Monster—it is, theas expected, a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Basilisk|Basilisk]]. Harry avoids its deadly gaze, as Fawkes leaves his shoulder. Harry is smashed against the wall by the snake's coil but is not bitten. Fawkes has blinded the Basilisk. Tom again orders the serpent to kill Harry, telling it to smell him. The thrashing snake has swept the Sorting Hat into Harry's arms. He puts it on, thinking "Help me!" The Hat constricts sharply and something bumps his head. Taking it off, Harry finds a sword inside. As the Basilisk strikes, Harry impales it through the roof of its mouth and into its brain, killing it. But a single venomous fang pierces his arm.
 
Harry removes the fang, but it is too late. As the venom spreads, Harry dimly sees Fawkes land beside him. Riddle says Harry will soon be dead, even Dumbledore's bird knows; he is weeping. But both have forgotten that Phoenix tears heal wounds. Suddenly realizing this, Riddle attempts a killing curse. Before he can strike, Fawkes drops the diary into Harry's lap, and Harry stabs the diary with the fang. Tom Riddle is destroyed.

== Analysis ==
 
In ''Harry Potter and the The Philosopher's Stone'', Harry, attempting to find and protect the Stone, was aided by his friends until they reached a certain point, then Harry was forced to confront Voldemort alone. Once again, Harry must follow a dangerous, unknown path by himself that he hopes leads to a solution: saving Ginny. As before, his friends' assistance brought him only so far, then circumstances forced him to continue on his own. This time, Harry also placed his faith into what he believed was an ally, that being Tom Riddle's memory, only to be betrayed when Riddle reveals himself as Lord Voldemort's younger self who lured Harry into a trap. Harry, who is still young and innocent, will never again be as trusting.
 
Although Riddle reveals the hidden story behind the recent events to Harry, he shares this only because he arrogantly assumes Harry is about to die and no longer poses a threat. For Harry, obtaining this knowledge nearly cost him his life, and it is only Harry's loyalty to Dumbledore that saves him and Ginny, that loyalty summoning Dumbledore's Phoenix, Fawkes, who brings the Sorting Hat. In what becomes a common trait, Voldemort reacts with supreme overconfidence in himself, derisively dismissing the Hat's importance, considering it a harmless artifact rather than an instrument that delivers Dumbledore's potent power. That power is extended to Harry through the Sword of Gryffindor, a symbol representing justice, courage, and strength when wielded by a heroic figure, in this case, Harry. Voldemort, of course, vastly underestimated Harry's abilities. Though Riddle depended on Harry's cleverness to lead him into the Chamber, he never considered him capable enough to kill the Basilisk or destroy the Diary. But even as Voldemort is apparently gaining strength, so Harry becomes stronger each time he confronts and thwarts the Dark Lord. And though Tom Riddle's Diary has been destroyed, Harry should not assume this is the last time he will encounter Voldemort.

Riddle repeatedly says the Diary contains Tom's memory, which is what Harry sees and talks to. However, in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Half-Blood Prince|''Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince'']], Professor Dumbledore points out that Riddle's Diary does far more than a memory should be able to - it can independently think and respond, possess a person to do its bidding, and it can sap a person's life force to create a body for itself. This strongly indicates that the Diary is actually is a [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Horcrux|Horcrux]], a soul shard that renders a person immortal as long as the Horcrux remains in tactintact. Or rather, this ''was'' a Horcrux until Harry destroyed it. This is not Voldemort's only Horcrux, however.
 
In [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 6|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']], it is revealed that Harry has lucked into one of the few methods to destroy a Horcrux: Basilisk venom. It is learned that a Horcrux will act to protect itself; to destroy one, its physical container must be irrevocably damaged beyond ordinary magic's ability to repair. Also in that chapter, it will be revealed that the only known cure for Basilisk venom is Phoenix tears, which, being extremely rare creatures, are certainly outside the realm of ordinary magic.
 
This creates an apparent problem: a Phoenix is in close proximity shortly before Harry stabs the diary. Could not the diary, using ordinary magic such as the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Accio|Accio charm]], summon Fawkes' tears? Possibly, but the author has stated in an interview given after ''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'' was published, that she carefully distanced the Phoenix before the death blow. And looking at the sequence of events, we see that Riddle attempted to Curse Fawkes, driving him far enough away, before Harry stabbed the diary.
 
Readers should also pay attention to the Sorting Hat delivering Gryffindor's Sword to Harry. During the final battle at Hogwarts in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 36|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']], [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Neville Longbottom|Neville Longbottom]] also extracts the Sword from the Hat, using it to destroy another Horcrux. This time, however, it is Voldemort himself who summons the Hat from the Headmaster's office, using it as a means to torture Neville, butand apparently forgetting or unaware that it can produce the weapon, or he considers Neville too weak a Wizard to utilize it.
 
There are several other useful items mentioned. Thinking Harry will shortly be dead, Riddle mentions his grandfather's name, Marvolo, something Voldemort had taken pains to conceal. While this is not useful to Harry, Dumbledore, who also knows it, uses it to unearth another Horcrux: given the approximate age, and Marvolo being an uncommon name in the Wizarding world, plus the name Riddle associated with a Wizard-caused death in Tom's youth, Dumbledore is able to locate and retrieve a Horcrux hidden where Tom's mother lived. Tom also mentions what is likely his greatest shame: that despite being Slytherin's last heir, he is descended from a Muggle, one of the very half-bloods he so despises. Harry is able to cause some dissension among the Death Eater ranks he faces in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Order of the Phoenix/Chapter 35|''Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix'']], just before the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Major Events/Battle at the Department of Mysteries|Battle in the Ministry]] when he reveals that fact.
