Ron Weasley introduces Harry Potter to Scabbers and before he is about to show Harry a spell, Hermione asks them if they have seen Neville Longbottom's toad, Trevor. After Ron fails at a spell, Hermione uses a spell to fix Harry's broken glasses. They arrive at the station and take boats to Hogwarts. Professor McGonagall tells the first year students that they must go through the process of being sorted into their respective houses and she explains the points system and the house that wins the most points will win the house cup. Neville finds Trevor and Draco Malfoy makes a comment about Harry, which causes the other students to exclaim and Draco introduces Harry to Crabbe and Goyle. When Ron snickers at Draco, Draco insults Ron and tells Harry some wizarding families are better than others. The first year students are brought into the Great Hall and brought to The Sorting Hat. Albus Dumbledore tells the first year students the rules including that the Dark Forest is off limits. The first to get sorted into their house is Hermione, then Draco, Susan Bones, Ron, and Harry.

During dinner, Nearly Headless Nick introduces himself to the new students and The Grey Lady, The Bloody Baron, and Fat Friar float around the students. Percy gives the password to the Fat Lady and Percy takes the first year students into the Gryfffindor common room. Professor Snape introduces his class and points out that fame doesn't equal ability. Mail comes and Dean tells everyone Neville got a Remembrall. Harry reads The Daily Prophet that Ron received and sees that there was a break in at Gringotts in the same vault he and Hagrid went to. Later, Madame Hooch teaches the students how to ride their broomsticks. Neville loses control of his broomstick and eventually falls and breaks his wrist. While Madame Hooch is taking Neville to the hospital, Draco steal Neville's Remembrall. Harry flies after Draco and catches the Remembrall when Draco throws it into the air. Professor McGonagall sees Harry flying and takes him with her and introduces Harry to Oliver Wood and Harry is made the new Gryffindor Quidditch Seeker. Hermione shows Harry the trophy case and he sees that his father won a Quidditch award in 1972 as a Seeker. The staircase moves as Harry, Hermione and Ron are walking up it and as they go to leave a room they aren't supposed to be, they see Mrs Norris and run away. They enter a locked room and come face to face with Fluffy who chases them out of the room. Hermione later figures out that Fluffy was guarding something.

Professor Flitwick teaches the students about the making of charm spells that can make things fly. As Ron is trying the spell, Hermione corrects him in the proper way of saying the spell. After class, Ron is making fun of the way Hermione corrected him and she hears him and runs away. At Halloween dinner, Hermione is in the bathroom crying. Hermione walks out of a stall and a Troll swings his club at her. Harry and Ron start throwing pieces of the destroyed stalls at the Troll and Ron eventually knocks the Troll out when he causes the Troll's club to levitate and then fall on the Troll's head. Professor McGonagall, Snape and Professor Quirrell run into the bathroom and Hermione takes the blame and Gryffindor loses five points, but gains ten for Harry and Ron's bravery. Harry notices that Snape has a limp and thinks Snape was trying to get whatever Fluffy is guarding. The Quidditch games starts and as Harry starts to go after the Snitch, his broom starts to act on its own. Hermione sees Snape mouthing spells and she starts a fire under Snape, who bumps into a professor who bumps into Professor Quirrell. Harry is able to regain control of his broom and catches the Snitch in his mouth and wins the game for Gryffindor.

Harry, Hermione and Ron tell Hagrid they think Snape was trying to curse Harry and tell him they think he is trying to steal whatever is hidden in the room with Fluffy, but Hagrid tells them not to meddle in places they don't belong and accidentally mentions the name Nicholas Flamel. Harry and Ron are playing Wizard's Chess when Hermione comes up to them and suggests they look in the restricted section of the library for information on Nicholas Flamel. After Christmas break, Hermione finds a book that mentions Nicholas Flamel was the maker of the Sorceror's Stone which can turn metal into stone and produce the Elixir of Life. They go to Hagrid's hut and tell him they know about the Sorceror's Stone. They tell him they think Snape is trying to steal the stone, but Hagrid tells them he is one of the professors protecting it. As they are talking to Hagrid, Fang starts sniffing Ron's face. Hagrid pulls out a dragon egg, which hatches into a Norwegian Ridgeback dragon, which Hagrid names Norbert. As they are walking back to the Gryffindor common room, they are stopped by Professor McGonagall who deducts points from both Gryffindor and Slytherin for Harry, Ron, Hermione and Draco, who tattled on them to Professor McGonagall, for being out past curfew and they are each given detention.

For detention they are brought by Mr Filch to help Hagrid in the Dark Forest. Hagrid tells them Dumbledore made him send Norbert to Romania. They follow Hagrid and Fang into the forest and find unicorn blood and Hagrid tells them he found one dead a few weeks ago and their goal is to find the wounded unicorn. They split up and Ron and Hermione go with Hagrid. Afterwards, Harry tells Hermione and Ron about Voldemort, who he saw in the forest and that Snape doesn't want the Sorcerer's Stone for himself, but for Voldemort. Harry's scar starts to hurt and he figures out Hagrid must have told someone how to get past Fluffy, and Hagrid reveals the trick to get past Fluffy. Harry, Hermione and Ron run to Professor McGonagall and tell her they have to speak to Dumbledore about the Sorcerer's Stone, but she tells them Dumbledore is gone. They decide to go to the trapdoor under Fluffy that night. As they are trying to sneak out, Neville stops them and Hermione uses a freeze spell on him.

They go to the room with the trapdoor and find Fluffy asleep. As they are about to go into the trapdoor, Fluffy wakes up when the harp used to keep it asleep stops and they are forced to jump down the trapdoor. They land on Devil's Snare and when Ron has trouble relaxing enough to slip through it, Hermione uses a light spell to free him. They walk into a room filled with winged keys and Harry uses a broom to catch the key to the next room as the other keys chase him. In the next room is a large chessboard, which mimics Wizard's Chess. They take different positions on the board as Ron coordinates their and their respective chess pieces movements. Ron sacrifices himself in order to win the game and Hermione stays behind with an injured Ron and to send a message to Dumbledore while Harry continues on and eventually finds the Sorcerer's Stone. During the end of semester dinner, Gryffindor wins the house cup due to the actions of Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Neville.

Hermione Granger Year 2

Hermione runs up to Harry and Hagrid and greets them and fixes Harry's glasses. They go into Flourish and Blotts where Gilderoy Lockhart is selling copies of his book Magical Me and pass by Girl in Bookstore. Hermione goes to her parents. Draco and Lucius Malfoy walk up to Harry and Lucius grabs Harry and uses the end of his cane to part Harry's hair to reveal his scar. Lucius tells Harry his scar is legendary as is the wizard who gave it to him and Harry calls Voldemort a murderer. When Lucius comments on Harry using Voldemort's name, Hermione mentions fear of a name only increases fear of the thing itself. Lucius insults Hermione and her parents and Ron and his siblings and grabs Ginny Weasley's second hand book and calls Mr Weasley a disgrace to wizards and puts Ginny's book back, plus another into her cauldron pail. In class, Lockhart introduces himself to the students as their new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and Hermione and Susan swoon over him. He un-cages Cornish Pixies in class and they start to unleash havoc onto the class. He runs away after asking Hermione, Harry and Ron to capture the Pixies when the Pixies steal his wand. Hermione casts an Immobulus spell which causes Pixies to slowly float in the air. As the Gryffindor Quidditch team walk into the practice green, Marcus Flint tells them they were given the practice time to train their new Seeker, Draco. Ron walks up with Hermione and asks how the Slytherin team got the Nimbus 2001's and Marcus tells him Lucius bought them for the team. Draco comments to Ron that his father can afford the best and Hermione accuses Draco of buying himself onto the team, to which Draco calls her a Mudblood. Ron tries to cast an Eat Slugs spell on Draco with his broken wand, which backfires, causing Ron to vomit up snails and the Slytherin team including Adrian Pucey, Slyth Beater No 1, Slyth Beater No 2, Slyth Beater No 3 and Slyth Keeper laugh. Harry and Hermione take Ron to Hagrid's hut who asks why Ron tried to curse Draco. Hermione tells Hagrid, Draco called her Mudblood. After detention, Harry runs into Hermione and Ron. They run to where the voice is coming from and see spiders running out of the castle. They then see blood splattered on the wall with the words "The chamber of Secrets has been opened enemies of the heir...beware". They find Mrs Norris hanging in the air and a crowd gathers around and Mr Filch threatens to kill Harry when he thinks it was him that hurt Mrs Norris. Dumbledore and the professors walk up and Dumbledore tells the students except for Harry, Ron and Hermione to return to their rooms. Professor Snape says it is suspicious how Harry was present at the time and Lockhart tells him, Harry was with him. Dumbledore then mentions Professor Sprout's Mandrakes and tells Mr Filch, Mrs Norris will be fine. As they are walking to the common room, Harry wonders if he should tell Dumbledore about the voice he heard and Hermione tells him hearing voices isn't a good thing and Count - Moving Picture agrees with Hermione.

Professor McGonagall teaches the class how to transform animals to water goblets, which Ron fails due to his broken wand. Hermione asks Professor McGonagall about the Chamber of Secrets and she tells them about the founding of Hogwarts and how Salazar Slytherin wanted magic to be taught only to pure blood magical families. He eventually built the Chamber of Secrets and sealed it until his future heir would come to reopen it to unleash the horror within that would then kill those born from muggles. Harry and Ron think Draco is heir of Slytherin, but Hermione doesn't think so. She tells them she might have a way to find out and they go to the library where she finds a book with directions to make a Polyjuice Potion, which allow the drinker to change into someone else. During a Quidditch Match, a Bludger chases after Harry who sees the Snitch and chases after it with Draco behind him. Draco crashes and so does Harry, but he manages to grab the Snitch anyways. Hermione destroys the Bludger and Lockhart tries to fix Harry's arm, which was broken by the Bludger, but removes all of his bones in the process. Harry tells Hermione and Ron about what he heard the night before. Hermione then introduces them to Moaning Myrtle who lives in the girl's restroom. Lockhart and Professor Snape introduce a Dueling Club so the students can practice defending themselves. Harry and Draco are pitted against each other and during the match, Draco creates a magic snake. The snake starts to slither towards Justin Finch-Fletchley and it appears that Harry is commanding the snake with Parseltongue. Professor Snape destroys the snake with a spell and Justin Finch-Fletchley angrily thinks Harry was sending the snake after him. Hermione tells Harry not many people have the gift of Parseltongue and Salazar Slytherin was a Paselmouth. Before Christmas break, Hermione sits down next to Ron and Harry and tells them the Polyjuice Potion is almost done, they just need hair from Crabbe and Goyle, and shows them cupcakes mixed with a Sleeping Draught. She tells them she took a hair from Millicent Bulstrode's robe. Crabbe and Goyle eat the magic cupcakes and fall unconscious. Harry and Ron return to Hermione and they all drink their potions. Ron and Harry leave without Hermione and head towards the Slytherin common room. Harry and Ron run back to the girl's restroom and find out Hermione accidentally took a car hair from Millicent's robes and now has a temporary cat face.

Harry tells Hermione and Ron that Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets, but they don't trust Tom's word. While investigating, Hermione is petrified by the Basilisk. After Harry kills the Basilisk, those who were petrified recover, including Hermione, who is welcomed back by Ron and Harry. Before the end of the year feast, Dumbledore asks for a round of applause for Professor Sprout and Madam Pomfrey and all of the students and professors clap, including Madam Pince. Hagrid returns and personally thanks Harry, Ron and Hermione and everyone gives Hagrid a round of applause.
