At the end of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Dumbledore retracts his promise to punish Harry, Ron, and Hermione if they break any more school rules – after Professor McGonagall estimates they have broken over 100 – and lavishly rewards them for ending the threat from the Chamber of Secrets.
I slutningen af Hemmelighedernes Kammer bryder Dumbledore sit løfte om at straffe Harry, Ron og Hermione, hvis de brød flere af skolens regler – efter at Professor McGonagall har konstateret, at de har brudt over 100 – og belønner dem gavmildt for at have afværget truslen fra Hemmelighedernes Kammer.
