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 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, a spirit who haunts the girls' bath- room, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister. But each of these seems a minor annoyance when the real trouble begins, and someone or something — starts turning Hogwarts students to stone ...

The sequel to the award-winning bestseller Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone.

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.
