 The second book in the series is called Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. This is J.K. Rowling's favorite Harry Potter book next to Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. This is because she had trouble writing it due the fact that she wanted it to be as good as the first book, and it turned out great! Harry had been living with the Dursleys again and they were being more cruel to him than ever. When Dobby the house elf arrived in Harry's room during one of Uncle Vernon's dinner parties, a great deal of noise was caused and the Dursley's discovered that Harry could not do magic outside of Hogwarts. With this new discovery, they decided to lock Harry in his room and feed him little food. Harry had not been able to send any letters out to his classmates, so the Weasley boys showed up outside of his bedroom window late one night in a floating blue Ford Anglia. The Weasley's free Harry from his room and take all of school supplies so that he can stay with them until school starts again. Harry stays with the Weasley's until September 1st. On their trip by floo powder to Diagon Alley, Harry accidentally ends up in Knockturn Alley and hears about the Malfoys being involved in the dark arts. Hagrid finds Harry in Knockturn Alley and brings him back to the Weasleys just outside of Gringott's Wizard Bank. After that, Harry and Ron meet up with Hermione and they shop for school supplies. When the school year starts, Harry and the Weasleys head off to King's Cross train station in London, but Harry and Ron are unable to get onto the platform, so they fly the Ford Anglia to school. Everything is going smoothly until the Ford Anglia crashes into the womping willow on Hogwarts' grounds. Harry and Ron recieve detention for flying the car to school. During Harry's detention in Professor Lockhart's office, Harry hears murderous voices. Harry continues to hear these voices, but other people claim they can't hear them. As the year progresses, people get petrified- including Hermione who is the only one that knows what's happening in the Chamber of Secrets. Harry is determined to find a way into the Chamber to save his friend. ...And you'll have to pick up a copy of the book to find out what happens next in this marvelous book! |
