potter, harry

Harry Potter wants to get away from the pernicious Dursleys and go to the Quidditch World Cup with Hermione, Ron, and the Weasleys. He wants to dream about Cho Chang, his crush (and maybe do more than dream). He wants to find out about the mysterious event involving two other rival schools of magic, and a competition that hasn't happened for hundreds of years. He wants to be a normal, fourteen-year-old wizard. Unfortunately for Harry Potter, he's not normal; he's different - even by wizarding standards. And in this case, different can be deadly.

Profiles the life and career of storyteller J. K. Rowling.

About to enter his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter is visited by a house-elf named Dobby and warned not to return. Harry ignores his warning and returns to Hogwarts, where strange things begin to happen, as people are becoming petrified, Harry hears a voice which seems to be coming from within the walls, and Harry's newly-discovered and unsettling ability to communicate with snakes turns even his friends against him.

Rescued from the outrageous neglect of his aunt and uncle, a young boy with a great destiny proves his worth while attending Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry.

When the Chamber of Secrets is opened again at the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry, second-year student Harry Potter finds himself in danger from a dark power that has once more been released on the school.
