Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter, #2)

by J.K. Rowling

“I’ll be in my bedroom, making no noise and pretending I’m not there,”

Neville was a round-faced and accident-prone boy with the worst memory of anyone Harry had ever met.

Dobby smiled weakly. “Dobby is used to death threats, sir. Dobby gets them five times a day at home.”

Phoenixes burst into flame when it is time for them to die and are reborn from the ashes.

“I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me. . . . Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.”

It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
