Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

by JK Rowling

The heir alone would be able to unseal the Chamber of Secrets, unleash the horror within and use it to purge the school of all who were unworthy to study magic.

The Dursleys are to receive a guest and an important one too. So Harry must go up to his room. Stay there. Make no noise - not a single sound. Pretend not to exist... until that important guest leaves.

Such is life with the Dursleys - and Harry does as he is told. But when he arrives in his room, it is to find a stranger sitting on his bed... and about to deliver a most unwelcome warning.

Chamber of Secrets is an intense journey through the magical universe JK Rowling has created with the Harry Potter series. Potter is to discover that he has some magical skills that he should not possess - not if he does not want his reputation to sink to the level of those who sought to subjugate the wizarding world and to destroy his family.

With a strong plot, good narration, and plenty of action, Chamber of Secrets is a gripping novel with a cast of characters to admire, hate and to be utterly bewildered by.
