Novel and feature film, the sequel to Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone.
Entering his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter is warned by an elf named Dobby that disaster will strike when he returns to Hogwarts. Besides the warnings, the fact that he is still disliked by the sinister Professor Snape and hated by the privileged and arrogant Draco Malfoy, Harry gets off to a great start with his two best friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger.
Famous writer Gilderoy Lockhart has joined the Hogwarts staff and is the new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher. But now, Hogwarts students are strangely being turned into stone. Who is behind the attacks? Is it Malfoy, gamekeeper Hagrid or even Harry himself? The biggest fear of all is that Lord Voldemort is trying to make his evil return.
Harry and his friends attempt to get to the bottom of the mystery, and in doing so uncover much more than they bargained for, from snakes to secret diaries to the Chamber Of Secrets
itself.
