Harry can't wait for his holidays with the dire Dursleys to end. But a small, self-punishing house-elf warns Harry of mortal danger awaiting him at Hogwarts School. Returning to the castle nevertheless, Harry hears a rumour about a chamber of secrets, holding unknown horrors for wizards of Muggle parentage. Now someone is casting spells that paralyse people, making them seem dead, and a terrible warning is found painted on the wall. The chief suspect - and always in the wrong place - is Harry. But something much darker has yet to be unleashed.

Work Description

Throughout the summer holidays after his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter has been receiving sinister warnings from a house-elf called Dobby.

Now, back at school to start his second year, Harry hears unintelligible whispers echoing through the corridors.

Before long the attacks begin: students are found as if turned to stone.

Dobby’s predictions seem to be coming true.

Excerpts

Not for the first time, an argument had broken out over breakfast at number four, Privet Drive.
added by Lisa.

first sentence

I would say that the main reason I am reading this book is because my whole family read the book series and it was still a little hard for me to read but I started the series when I was in second grade but it was still to hard so I stopped and started aging in 4th grade and now I am still reading the series over and over and over again because I love Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling.
Page 341, added by Audrey Berns.

I recommend this book for anyone who loves fantasy.
