            .:From inside the Harry Potter and the                          Chamber of Secrets Book:.

          The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that             summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to              get back to the Hogwarts School of                          Witchcraft and Wizardry. But jsut as he's                  packing his bags, Harry recrives 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 horroes                  arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, a spirit name Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny.
But each of there seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone-or something-starts turining 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!

           .:From the Haryr Potter Magazine:.

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, new adventures arise for Harry and his two best friends, Ron Weasly and Hermoine Granger, during their second year at Hogwarts. Ignoring the warning from a magical creature, Harry return to school and starts the school year right. Strange voices are coming from the wall, and Harry finds that Hogwarts students are being turned to stone. Only the true descendent of Salazar Slytherin will be able to open the Chamber of Secrets, revealing the true story. Is Lord Voldemort trying to make his evil return, or is someone else turing the students of Hogwarts into statues? Read the book to find out!

-"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 eccerntric faculty... are as expertly crafted here as the first book."
