Harry Potter has returned again back to the Dursley's home on Privet Drive and his birthday has come once again, but there
were (as usual) no signs of celebration in the air. However, Harry does have a visitor, a small House Elf wearing a white
sheet for clothes named Dobby but oh no!! Dobby arrival didn't delight Harry at all, instead Dobby desperately tries to
prevent Harry from returning to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and creates a big no, did I say BIG?? It's
a HUMONGOUS disaster at the Dursley's home when Harry said he will return to Hogwarts whatever that happens as
Hogwarts is where he truly belong to..how very touching..Because of the horrifiying disaster, Mr. Dursley locks Harry in his
room and put bars on his window so that Harry can not and will not escape. Luckily for Harry, his friends Ron, Gred and
Feorge-hehe Weasles oppss Weasleys, arrive in a flying metalic-blue,(I think) Ford Anglia and take him to their home, the
Burrow. He is to stay there until it is time to shop for new school supplies for his second year at Hogwarts. He met Ginny
Weasley(Ron's youngest sibling and the only female Weasley child) there, who secretly has a crush on him. While at Diagon
Alley, Harry, Ron, and Hermione meet up with their new school professor, Gilderoy Lockhart, "Order of Merlin, Third Class,
Honourary Member of the Dark Force Defence League and five times winner of Witch Weekly's Most Charming-Smile Award".
Harry has bad vibes about this new teacher Lockhart, as he was SO cheesy and proud. While trying to get onto Platform 9
3/4, Ron and Harry can't seem to make it through the barriers Unable to get through, Ron suggest to "use" Arthur Weasley's
flying car and use it to try to fly to Hogwarts (which caused not but a big havoc). Once at Hogwarts, Harry learns all sorts
of interesting and yet disturbing pieces of information, including that Draco Malfoy, his "cooler", Slytherin, arch-rival, is the
new Slytherin Seeker! Not only that, but Malfoy's father also bought the new Nimbus 2001 broomsticks for every player on
the Slytherin team! But I insist you hear this line from Hermione who wiped the smirk on Draco's face.
"At least no one on the Gryffindor team had to buy thier
way in," said Hermione sharply. "They got in on pure talent."
Excellent the way you put it Hermione. Back to the review...
Soon, Harry discovers a voice that keeps haunting him, and he, Ron and Hermione found several freaky incidents that are
happening around the school, including the caretaker's cat being petrified by a Dark Magic spell and a message on the wall
warning that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Bad enough, Harry always appears to be the first to arrive in those
terrifiying accidents. From Professor Binns, they learn the story of Salazar Slytherin and his prejudice against Muggles and
Mudbloods, about his Secret Chamber, and his heir. Of course, Ron believes that the Slytherin heir might be Draco
Malfoy, and Hermione says they should turn themselves into his friends, Crabbe and Goyle, with Polyjuice Potion and get
Malfoy to talk. Hermione accidently was turned into a cat and so, it is up to Harry and Ron to enter the Forbidden Forest
in an effort to help Hagrid and try to figure out what has attacked Hermione. The next thing we know, Ron's sister, Ginny, is
captured and taken to the Chamber, so Harry, Ron, and Lockhart(forced by them to follow) go through the pipes to find her.
Who is the Slytherin heir? Can it be the innocent-looking Ginny? What is the Chamber of Secrets, exactly and what's in it?
Can Hermione return to her normal self and revive from her attack or is it too late? Will it have a BAD ending with a death?
Read urself ;)
