Resolved Question: How did the basilisk petrifie the people in the castle in harry potter the chamber of secrets?
i have read series many times and currently re reading hp cos. obviously you need to look at the basilisk's eyes to die? but how the hell did he while being that large? was this thru ginny or somthing?I think i need to make this more clear... i know what happens when you look in the eyes, and through reflections blah blah.... im just wondering how the the basilisk was able to roam the castle to be able to petrifie in the first place. cause as far as i know he locked down in the chamber.
