[[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Harry Potter|Harry]] enters a long chamber; at the opposite end is a giant wizard statue, probably [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Salazar Slytherin|Salazar Slytherin]], with an ancient, monkey-like face, a long thin beard, and 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, carrying Harry's dropped wand, explains he is a memory, preserved in his Diary for fifty years. He opened the [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Places/Chamber of Secrets|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 [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Magic/Transfiguration|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.

Tom wants to know how Harry, an ordinary baby wizard, could have defeated [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Lord Voldemort|Lord Voldemort]], the most powerful wizard of the age. Harry wonders why Tom cares. Riddle reveals he is a Half-blood. His mother named him Tom after his Muggle father and Marvolo after his wizard grandfather, a descendant of Salazar Slytherin. He scrambled his name to create a new one—Lord Voldemort, a name he knew people would fear when he became the most powerful Wizard in the world. It was also a way to eliminate his Muggle father's name. Harry states Voldemort was not the most powerful wizard, [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Albus Dumbledore|Albus Dumbledore]] is. He says Dumbledore probably saw right through Tom when he was at school and is still stronger than Voldemort. When Tom says Dumbledore was driven from the school by Tom's memory, Harry retorts that Dumbledore may be closer than Tom realizes.

Remembering that Phoenixes can lift amazingly heavy loads, Harry has everyone join hands with him while he grasps Fawkes' tailfeathers. Fawkes lifts them from the Chamber to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Moaning Myrtle|Moaning Myrtle's]] washroom,. though sheMyrtle seems mildly disappointed that Harry has survived, wantingsaying she'd be willing to share her toilet with him if he died. Fawkes then fliesleads everyone to [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Characters/Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall's]] office.

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 alone. 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, still young and innocent, will likely never again be as trusting.

Riddle reveals the hidden back story to the recent events 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,. It is the expression of that loyalty summoningwhich summons 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 &mdashndash; power that is extended to Harry through the Sword of Gryffindor. The Sword becomes a recurring symbol throughout the series, 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 slay the Basilisk or the Diary. But even as Voldemort is apparently gaining strength, so Harry grows stronger and cleverer each time he confronts and thwarts the Dark Lord. And though Tom Riddle's Diary has been destroyed, Harry shoulddoes not assume this is the last time he will encounter Lord 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/Chapter 23|''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 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 intact. Or rather, this ''was'' a Horcrux until Harry destroyed it. ThisAt the time, Dumbledore expresses concern that the way the Horcrux was treated, as a weapon, is not Voldemorthow one would expect someone's onlysole chance at immortality to be handled; one would expect that an object containing a Horcrux, howeverwould be hidden away safely. This one's apparent design argues that Voldemort has several Horcruxes... but how many?

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,Phoenixes beingare extremely rare creatures, so their tears 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.

Ron will also wield the Sword when, after heroically saving Harry and recovering the Sword from a frozen pond where it was hidden, he destroys a Horcrux with it in [[Muggles' Guide to Harry Potter/Books/Deathly Hallows/Chapter 19|''Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows'']]. It will be learned that Dumbledore also uses the blade to destroy a Horcrux.

There are several other useful items mentioned. Thinking Harry will shortly be dead, Riddle reveals his grandfather's name, Marvolo, something Voldemort had taken pains to conceal. While this is not particularly useful information 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 had 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.
