Movie contamination alert!

In the actual book, it is Professor Binns who talks about the Chamber of 
Secrets.

But a strange question....when was Minerva McGonagall at Hogwarts?  Was she 
there when the Chamber was opened? Did she know Tom Riddle...um...well?

<getting strange images of a young rebellious Minnie smoking, drinking and 
kissing Slytherins behind the greenhouses then turning into the old dragon we 
see out of some sense of guilt...eeep>

The Queen of Serpents
who thinks that movie contamination is quite understandable...Christian 
Coulson is hot!
