The second book in the Harry Potter series is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, written by J.K. Rowling. It is a fantastic book! In the beginning, Harry is back at his aunt and uncle's for the summer. He hasn't got a letter from his friends the whole summer, and he is depressed. One night, Dobby the house-elf shows up in Harry's room. He has been stopping Harry's mail in an attempt to make Harry not go back to Hogwarts. Dobby warns Harry he must not go back, but Harry goes to the train station on September 1st with the Weasly's anyway. Harry and Ron are last through the magical barrier, and they can't get through! It has somehow been sealed, so Harry and Ron fly Mr. Weasly's magical car to Hogwarts. They get in trouble, and don't exactly start the term well. Hermonie Granger, their other friend, helps them (as usual) with their schoolwork. However, their teacher, Professor Lockhart, is completly incompetent and is teaching his students nothing at all. While this is going on, Harry has been hearing a voice inside the walls. He has no idea what it is, but every time he hears it, there is another attack. Students, cats, and ghosts are being petrified (a magical state in which the person is like stone, but can be revived only with a potion with mandrake root). Something is attacking students, and when Hermonie is petrified and a Ginny Weasly is taken into the mythical Chamber of Secrets itself, it is up to Harry and Ron to solve the mystery and rescue Ginny before she dies.
I don't want to wreck the ending for anyone who hasn't read Harry Potter, but I encourage you to read them!! Harry Potter is fantastic, and I can't give it anything other than the highest of praise!!
