Warning: Violence. To learn more, click the label dubbed Violence.
The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he's packing his bags, Harry receives 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 horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny.
But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone--or something--starts turning 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!
Harry Potter thinks this school year will be different than the last one. He hopes that he'll be able to focus on his work and his friends. Unfortunately that does not happen. WHAT does happen is that Harry has a near fatal attack from a bludger, Mr. Weasley gets sued due to a car problem, Ron's wand breaks causing chaos, and Professor Gilderoy Lockheart is discovered to be a fake. To top all that off a legendary beast is terrorizing Hogwarts. Will Harry be able defeat the monster?
Harry really needs some help, but his friends have a hard time helping him. Ron has arachnophobia, and Hermione has been petrified. But maybe, just maybe, he will be victorious.
One of the best parts is when Harry enters the moment of danger. ( of course it always is, as I explained in The Sorcerer's Stone. ) You get excited and fidgety even though you know the good guy pretty much always wins. Then you gasp in horror and amazement when you figure out that HE was the bad guy not the other one. After that surprising encounter you clap and cheer at the hero's narrow victory. Some way it always ends in the same way but is manages to still be a good book.
