Harry Potter and the Chamber of SecretsHarry Potter and the chamber of Secrets
After Harry Potter studied at Hogwarts School of witchcraft and Wizardry for a year, the summer vacation began. He spent a painful holiday at his aunts and uncles house. Just as he was about to pack up for school, dobby the elf came to warn that if Harry returned to Hogwarts, disaster would come.
But Harry returned to Hogwarts without hesitation, and the new professor Girod Lockhart made him sick by putting on airs; Wandering in the girls bathroom, the ghost "crying Myrtle" stirred him restlessly; Ginny, a junior girl, often embarrassed him by her concern for him; The little boy Colin krivis "star chasing" tracking often made him run away.
But all this is just a prelude to disaster. As dobby predicted, Harry suffered a lot, experienced various dangers, and the mystery made him painstaking: the students at Hogwarts turned into stones one after another. Is all this a masterpiece carefully planned by Draco Malfoy, a student with bad morality? Or the big mistake made by the honest and kind Hagrid unintentionally? Or will someone else create a bigger conspiracy in Hogwarts? Is all this related to the legendary chamber of secrets? Harry is determined to solve the mystery
The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he’s packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike.
And strike it does. For in Harry’s second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockhart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls’ bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley’s younger sister, Ginny.
But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone — or something — starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects... Harry Potter himself!

He missed Hogwarts so much it was like having a constant stomachache. He missed the castle, with its secret passageways and ghosts, his classes (though perhaps not Snape, the Potions master), the mail arriving by owl, eating banquets in the Great Hall, sleeping in his four-poster bed in the tower dormitory, visiting the gamekeeper, Hagrid, in his cabin next to the Forbidden Forest in the grounds, and, especially, Quidditch, the most popular sport in the wizarding world (six tall goal posts, four flying balls, and fourteen players on broomsticks).
All Harry’s spellbooks, his wand, robes, cauldron, and top-of-the-line Nimbus Two Thousand broomstick had been locked in a cupboard under the stairs by Uncle Vernon the instant Harry had come home. What did the Dursleys care if Harry lost his place on the House Quidditch team because he hadn’t practiced all summer? What was it to the Dursleys if Harry went back to school without any of his homework done? The Dursleys were what wizards called Muggles (not a drop of magical blood in their veins), and as far as they were concerned, having a wizard in the family was a matter of deepest shame. Uncle Vernon had even padlocked Harry’s owl, Hedwig, inside her cage, to stop her from carrying messages to anyone in the wizarding world.
Harry looked nothing like the rest of the family. Uncle Vernon was large and neckless, with an enormous black mustache; Aunt Petunia was horse-faced and bony; Dudley was blond, pink, and porky. Harry, on the other hand, was small and skinny, with brilliant green eyes and jet-black hair that was always untidy. He wore round glasses, and on his forehead was a thin, lightning-shaped scar.
