Description

The Dursleys were so mean that hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to return to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just like he is packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from the strange, impish creature named Dobby who says when Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike.And hit it can. For in Harry's second-year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck up new professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts girls' bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger brother, Ginny.But all these seem minor annoyances once the real trouble begins, and someone--or something--starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Can it be Draco Malfoy, a far more poisonous rival than ever?
