"Of the many fearsome beasts that roam our land... ...none is more deadly than the basilisk. Capable of living for hundreds of years... ...instant death awaits any who meet this giant serpent's eye.

But if it kills by looking people in the eye, why is it no one's dead? Because no one did look it in the eye. Not directly, at least. Colin saw it through his camera. Justin-- Justin must have seen the basilisk through Nearly Headless Nick. Nick got the full blast of it. But he's a ghost, he couldn't die again. And Hermione had the mirror. I bet you she was using it to look around corners in case it came along. And Mrs. Norris? I'm pretty sure she didn't have a camera or a mirror, Harry. The water.

Someone would have seen it. HARRY: Hermione's answered that too. -Pipes? It's using the plumbing. Remember what Aragog said about that girl 50 years ago? She died in a bathroom? What if she never left? Moaning Myrtle. MCGONAGALL: All students are to return to their dormitories at once. All teachers to the second-floor corridor immediately.
