Chapter Summaries

Allen and Ron investigated a dead donkey by the Nile, where Nasser claimed a river monster had attacked it. After George and Fred frightened Ron with mummy costumes, Ron went to the river with Allen and spotted a strange horse swimming in the water.

• Allen and Ron discussed mummies and resurrection when George and Fred entered dressed as mummies and startled Ron.
• George challenged Ron to walk by the river, so Ron went with Allen, and they saw a broad-maned horse swimming in the middle of the Nile.

Allen rescued Ron from a Kelpie in the Nile River, then subdued the creature after it attacked him and the twins. The group returned to the villa, and the exhausted young wizards went to bed; the next morning, they found a surprise waiting at breakfast.

• Allen chased Ron into the Nile after Ron became bewitched by the Kelpie, then knocked him unconscious and carried him to shore on his Flying Broomstick.

• The young wizards went to bed exhausted, and the next morning they found a surprise at breakfast.

After sharing the Kelpie reward, Allen and the Weasleys explored the Pyramid’s hidden wizard passage. Allen received two sudden quests involving trapped souls and a Pyramid Energy Stone, and Bill explained the stone’s reputed power to preserve bodies.

• George gave the Kelpie reward to Allen, who proposed using the Galleons for their Egypt trip.
• Bill led the group through a hidden entrance into the Pyramid’s wizard-only tunnels.
• Touching the stone ceiling triggered quests for Allen to save trapped souls and find the Pyramid Energy Stone within a month.
• Allen asked Bill about the Energy Stone, and Bill described its role in making mummies.
• Mr. Weasley showed Allen a rusty coin and said the stone’s power could restore it by the time they left.

Allen and the Weasleys traveled by cable car through the Pyramid while discussing Energy Stones and the Pharaoh’s curse. Allen rescued a woman who fell into their car, but the group reached the platform separated from the rest of the Weasleys.

• Allen returned Ron’s childhood-marked coin and asked Mr. Weasley about the Energy Stone, while Bill explained the Pharaoh’s curse and warned them about undeveloped passages.

• Allen pulled Ron back from the edge just in time to keep him from hitting a wall in the narrow passage.
• As the cable car sped through the Pyramid, Allen spotted a falling woman, caught her, and cast an acceleration Charm to reach the platform safely.
• The woman thanked them for saving her, but Ron realized his family had been separated from them.

Allen, Ron, and Nancy became separated from the others and wandered into an undiscovered Egyptian tomb. After finding a fork in the tunnel, Allen chose the passage whose murals depicted wizards, though the pyramid’s maze of tunnels left their route uncertain.

• Allen, Ron, and Nancy found an empty tunnel instead of the others and realized they were lost.
• Allen examined the ancient murals and concluded that they had entered a tomb no one had visited before.
• The three explored the tunnel while Ron and Nancy argued about mummies, treasure, and magic.
• Allen heard a brief sound, then stopped at a fork in the narrowing tunnel.
• Allen compared the murals in both passages and led Ron and Nancy into the right tunnel because its murals depicted wizards.

Allen, Ron, and Nancy found an ancient, trap-laden door in the tunnel maze, but they could not open it. A voice pleading for rest came from behind them, and a statue began rising from the ground.

• Allen, Ron, and Nancy followed the tunnel until Allen uncovered a richly carved wooden door sealed with mud.
• Ron touched the golden lion on the door, triggering poisoned arrows, and Allen warned that the doorway was also cursed.
• Allen explained that an incantation was needed to avoid the curse, but Ron's Alohomora spell and Nancy's kick failed to open the door.
• As Allen prepared to try, a thunderous voice pleaded to be left in peace from behind them.
• The ground split, and a statue emerged as Nancy screamed that it had moved.

Allen, Ron, and Nancy faced a statue that summoned ghosts whose tortured cries attacked their minds and trapped them in place. Allen discovered that light and magic could destroy the ghosts, then rushed toward the statue to try a physical attack as their numbers overwhelmed him.

• The statue opened its eyes and repeated its demand to be brought back to life or allowed to rest, while Allen lifted George's jinx from Nancy.
• Allen studied the Runes on the burial-chamber door, and, after Nancy and Ron argued with him about the resurrection Charms, he recited the Incantation and opened it.
• Ghosts poured through the stone walls as the statue howled, and their cries caused Nancy and Ron unbearable pain and left them unable to move.
• Allen cast a powerful Lumos Charm that made many ghosts vanish, but the statue summoned more, and his Diffindo spell passed through the ghosts before striking it without effect.
• Allen used Merlin's Gem and charged through the ghosts, experiencing memories of their horrific deaths as he approached the statue.

Allen used the Magic Orb of Goddess of Luck Fols to free the cursed ghosts and destroy the re-forming statue, then entered the tomb chamber with Ron and Nancy. There they discovered a golden coffin holding a richly adorned mummy, whom Allen suspected had been a wizard and prophet who knew they would come.

• Allen destroyed the statue repeatedly, then used the Magic Orb and the Lizard-men's Incantation to calm and banish the ghosts.
• Allen reassured Ron and Nancy, pressed Merlin's Gem to their foreheads, and led them into the tomb chamber.
• Allen cleaned the chamber with Scourgify, revealing its treasures and a golden coffin inscribed with Ancient Runes.
• Allen read the coffin's inscription and a mural showing three people reviving the mummy, then opened the coffin.
• Allen examined the mummy and its burial objects, suggested it had been a wizard and prophet, and lifted its golden mask.

Allen, Nancy, and Ron accidentally resurrected Tutankhamun, who declared that he would make them his slaves and rule Egypt again. Allen disarmed the mummy, and Ron recovered his wand as Tutankhamun stood up to face them.

• Allen removed Tutankhamun’s golden mask, and Nancy collapsed from the mummy’s foul odor before Allen gave her an antidote.
• Ron put on the mask and chanted the resurrection incantation, bringing Tutankhamun to life.
• Ron strangled Allen until Nancy struck him with a redwood box, knocking him down and freeing Allen.
• Tutankhamun announced that he was the great Emperor Tutankhamun and claimed Ron and Allen as his slaves.
• Tutankhamun took Ron’s wand, but Allen retrieved his own and used Expelliarmus to blast the mummy into the coffin.
• Ron got up, recovered his wand, and faced Tutankhamun, who secured a purple amulet beneath his wrappings.

Allen, Ron, and Nancy escaped Tutankhamun into a room full of mummies, which came to life and turned against him after his spell was reflected by Allen’s robe. The purple flames faded, and a humanoid creature began crawling from the ashes.

• Allen destroyed the stone cat with the Silver Sword, and Nancy led him and Ron through a concealed doorway to escape Tutankhamun.
• Allen discovered that the room beyond was packed with mummies, which began moving and came to life around the three of them.
• Allen opened the door to flee, but Tutankhamun’s purple spell struck him and rebounded from the Miaomiao Wizard Robe onto the mummies.
• The mummies ignored Tutankhamun’s commands, surrounded him, and dragged him down as purple flames consumed them.
• After the flames died, a humanoid creature struggled to rise from the pile of ash.

Allen destroyed the Scarab Amulet that sustained Tutankhamun, reducing the mummy to ashes, but the burial chamber began collapsing around Allen, Ron, and Nancy. With the entrance blocked and Apparition impossible, Allen sheltered Ron and Nancy inside the golden coffin while he gathered the room’s treasures.

• Tutankhamun grabbed Nancy, but Allen and Ron freed her and brought the mummy down, causing his Scarab Amulet to fall out.
• Allen pierced the amulet with a Basilisk fang, and Tutankhamun convulsed, revealed that he lived inside it, and turned to ashes.
• The burial chamber began shaking, and falling stones sealed the entrance while Apparition remained impossible.
• Allen led Ron and Nancy into the golden coffin, then used the system to store the room’s treasures as the chamber continued to collapse.

Allen, Ron, and Nancy escaped the collapsing tomb through a hidden passage and found a temple containing the Book of the Dead. After the Black Orlov flew onto Osiris’s scepter, the temple went dark and swarms of unknown creatures attacked them as they discovered magic no longer worked.

• Allen led Ron and Nancy through an emergency exit in the golden coffin, and they emerged in a temple dedicated to Osiris.
• Allen examined the Book of the Dead and explained how Tutankhamun had sought resurrection and eternal life through a sacred beetle amulet.
• Allen said they could return to the living world if they avoided the Black Orlov’s curse, then summoned his wand and watched its black gemstone merge with Osiris’s scepter.
• The temple plunged into darkness, and Ron, Nancy, and Allen felt countless hard, spiny creatures crawling across the floor and over their bodies.
• Allen tried to cast Lumos but discovered that magic was forbidden in the temple.

Allen drove away the crawling creatures and activated the Book of the Dead, uncovering what he believed was the Heavenly Ladder and Tu Tanmengka's way out of the tomb. Allen, Ron, and Nancy stood on the Lotus Throne, but the ladder did not transport them, leaving their escape uncertain.

• Ron lost his footing among the Little Things, but Allen caught him and gave him and Nancy Unicorn powder before releasing the Two-headed Cockatrice, whose smell drove the creatures away.
• Allen climbed Osiris's statue and touched the black gemstone on its scepter, causing the Book of the Dead to open and display Tu Tanmengka's life and an ancient prayer.
• The Book of the Dead's images and words formed a sun-shaped vortex above the Lotus Throne, and Allen recognized the pattern as the Heavenly Ladder and a possible route out of the tomb.
• Allen explained his deduction, then climbed onto the Lotus Throne and helped Nancy and Ron join him.
• The three held hands and waited on the throne, but nothing happened, and they remained trapped in the tomb.

• Allen asked Mr. Weasley whether an Unbreakable Vow would allow Nancy to keep her memories.

After losing Nancy to Said's Obliviate, Allen returned with the Weasleys and reflected on his lack of power. He claimed the Pyramid Energy Stone reward and won books about power and a formula for a Magic Boosting Potion.
