Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: Series Study (Harry Potter)


Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second book in J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series. In the book Harry is beginning his second year at Hogwarts after spending a horrible summer with the Dursley’s, the only family he has left. During his summer he is visited by an odd little house elf named Dobby. Dobby brings chaos to the Dursley house which makes his aunt and uncle lock him in his bedroom until school begins. Once Harry arrives at Hogwarts he begins hearing voices throughout the school and begins thinking that he is crazy. After doing some research Harry learns about the Chamber within Hogwarts where a student was killed 50 years ago. Shortly after Harry learns about the chamber he realizes that he is a Parseltongue, which means he can speak to and understand snakes speaking to him. All around Hogwarts students are getting Petrified and nobody is really sure what is going on or who is to blame. It is up to Harry to find out the truth about what is happening in the Chamber and who is harming everyone at Hogwarts. This is another great book by J.K. Rowling, a truly imaginative and creative piece of literature. A story this amazing would truly inspire kids to read and get them engaged in reading, great story!
