Synopsis
In this second entry in the amazingly popular Harry Potter series, Harry is suffering a horrible summer break after his first year at the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Basically confined to his room by his vile Uncle Vernon and putrid Aunt Petunia, Harry can't wait to return to Hogwarts. However, when he is visited by a nervous yet magical house-elf he is warned that he will be in great peril if he returns to Hogwarts--a warning he chooses to ignore. Upon his return to school, Harry and his best friends Ron and Hermione investigate the true story of the legendary Chamber of Secrets but before they know it a mysterious force begins turning the other students to stone--and Harry is soon thought of as the main suspect. Could this be the peril that the house-elf warned him about or is something even more dangerous in store for Harry?, The second entry of the amazingly popular Harry Potter series opens with the boy wizard suffering through a dreadful summer break after his first year at the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Confined to his room by his vile Uncle Vernon and putrid Aunt Petunia, Harry can't wait to return to Hogwarts, even after Dobby, a well-meaning but dreadfully mischievous house-elf appears with a warning about Harry's safety at school. Ignoring this, Harry returns to Hogwart's, and along with his best friends Ron and Hermione, begins to investigate the true story of the legendary Chamber of Secrets. But a mysterious force begins turning the other students to stone--and Harry is soon thought of as the main suspect. Could this be the peril that Dobby warned him about or is something even more dangerous in store for Harry? In 2002, the book was made into a blockbuster film., When the Chamber of Secrets is opened again at the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, second-year student Harry Potter finds himself in danger from a dark power that has once more been released on the school.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Not for the first time, an argument had broken out over breakfast at number four Privet Drive. Mr. Vernon Dursley had been woken in the early hours of the morning by a loud, hooting noise from his nephew Harry's room.<BR>"Third time this week!" he roared across the table. "If you can't control that owl, it'll have to go!""
Industry Reviews
"The novel is marked throughout by the same sly and sophisticated humor found in the first book, along with inventive, new, matter-of-fact uses of magic that will once again have readers longing to emulate Harry and his wizard friends."
