In one of the most hotly anticipated sequel in memory, J.K. Rowling takes up where she left off with Harry's second year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Old friends and new torments abound, including a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, an outrageously conceited professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, and a mysterious force that turns Hogwarts students to stone.

I loved the chamber of secrets because of Tom Riddles diary. My favourite part was when harry stabbed the diary and it killed Tom. The basilisk would be really scary if i was there because the basilisk is like a big worm with giant teeth.

This second Harry Potter book is about how Voldemort comes back. Even though he was destroyed in the first book, he comes back. This time he uses one of his seven Horcruxes, a diary, to trick Harry into unleashing the horror of Hogwarts - a Basilisk, that is hidden in the chamber of secrets. However, it was Ginny (Ron's younger sister) who poured her soul into the diary, and therefore was possessed by Tom Riddle (the teenage Voldemort) into unleashing the Basilisk. The Basilisk started petrifying and even killing students, and that is when Harry gets involved. He gets into a battle against Tom Riddle and the basilisk, and in the end, it is Fawkes (Dumbledore's pheonix) who saves Harry by healing him with his tears. Harry drives the basilisk's poisnous fang into the roof of the basilisk's mouth, and that is how Tom Riddle is killed and so is the basilisk, and Harry is once again a hero. This book is also 5-stars.

Second year at Hogwarts. Harry is really excited. This year he discovers much more about lord Voldemort and who he was, and what about the diary of tom riddle harry found? Harry travels back in time and what does he see? What does he discover? Read the book to know!
