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
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 of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins,
and someone -- or something -- starts turning Hogwarts students to
stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could
it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could
it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects... Harry Potter
himself?
