false 15881 139 "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!" -from inside front cover- 6231171 book 1998 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter, #2) total:218046|5:90113|4:71392|3:44848|2:9874|1:1818| 218046 892245 246322 5138 3 10 false false Sun Jul 08 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Thu Jan 31 06:48:16 -0800 2008 Sat Feb 09 06:15:16 -0800 2008 Since pretty much everyone I know has read these books, I figure reviewing them is pretty pointless.
