Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Book Two Book Summary: The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted to do was to get back to the Hogwars 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! Book Dedication: For Sean P.F. Harris, getaway driver and foul-weather friend Reviews: "Harry Potter's exploits during his second year at Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry completely live up to the bewitching measure of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. The mystery, zany humor, student rivalry, and eccentric faculty... are as expertly crafter here as in the first book." - Booklist, starred review Awards: *Winner of the National Book Award (UK) *Winner of the Gold Medal Smarties Prize (UK) *#1 New York Times Bestseller *#1 USA Today Bestseller List Memorable Quotes: “Yes, yes, I know what you’re thinking! ‘Its all right for him, he’s an internationally famous wizard already!’ But when I was twelve, I was just as much of a nobody as you are now.

All that business with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!” – Gilderoy Lockhart “Make way for the Heir of Slytherin, seriously evil wizard coming through. . . .” – Fred and George “It’s our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.” - Dumbledore More...
