Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter, Book 2) by Jk Rowling

The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he's packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike.

And strike it does. For in Harry's second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockhart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny.

ROWLING wrote the seven Harry Potter books, which were released between 1997 and 2007. Harry, Ron, and Hermione's enduringly popular adventures have sold over 500 million copies, been translated into over 80 languages, and been adapted into eight blockbuster films. Together with the Harry Potter series, she also wrote three short companion volumes for Comic Relief and Lumos: Quidditch Through the Centuries, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, and The Tales of Beedle the Bard. In 2016, J.K. Rowling released her first novel, J.K. Rowling Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which Rowling co-wrote with writer Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany and is presently showing in theaters throughout the world, continues Harry's journey.

She also authored the screenplay for Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the first in a trilogy of films starring magizoologist Newt Scamander, in the same year. She also wrote The Casual Vacancy, a stand-alone novel for adults, and the Strike detective series under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith. J.K. Rowling will be 80 years old in 2020. Rowling returned to publishing for younger children with The Ickabog, a fairy tale whose revenues she is contributing to Covid-19-affected organizations.

She lives with her family in Scotland and is happiest when she is alone in a room, making up stories.
