Harry, Ron and Hermione have returned to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Qizardry for their second year. (But Harry and Ron only just made it - they missed the Hogwarts Express and had to get ther in a flying car...!) Soon the threesome are immersed in the daily round of Potions, herbology, Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, and Quidditch.

But then horrible things start happening. Harry hears evil voices. Sinister messages appear on the wall. But nothing can prepare the three friends for what happens next...

Work Description

Throughout the summer holidays after his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter has been receiving sinister warnings from a house-elf called Dobby.

Now, back at school to start his second year, Harry hears unintelligible whispers echoing through the corridors.

Before long the attacks begin: students are found as if turned to stone.

Dobby’s predictions seem to be coming true.

Excerpts

Not for the first time, an argument had broken out over breakfast at number four, Privet Drive.
added by Lisa.

first sentence

I would say that the main reason I am reading this book is because my whole family read the book series and it was still a little hard for me to read but I started the series when I was in second grade but it was still to hard so I stopped and started aging in 4th grade and now I am still reading the series over and over and over again because I love Harry Potter and J.K. Rowling.
Page 341, added by Audrey Berns.

I recommend this book for anyone who loves fantasy.
