The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that each one Harry Potter wanted used to be to get back to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he is packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a extraordinary, 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 Lockhart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls’ bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley’s younger sister, Ginny.
But each and every of these seem minor annoyances when the actual trouble begins, and any individual — or something — starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it perhaps be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is in the end told? Or could it be the only everyone at Hogwarts most suspects… Harry Potter himself?
