Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Book 2 of the Harry Potter series
352 pages · First published 1998
Despite a house-elf's warning not to return, Harry begins his second year at Hogwarts amid ominous messages announcing that the legendary Chamber of Secrets has reopened. Students are found petrified, and Harry alone hears a threatening voice moving through the castle walls. With Ron and Hermione, he investigates the school's past, a mysterious diary, and prejudice against witches and wizards born to nonmagical families. Darker but still playful, this fantasy mystery suits readers who enjoy secret passages, magical creatures, school legends, loyal friendships, and stories about choices defining identity more powerfully than ancestry.
