After being attacked by dementors over the summer holidays, Harry Potter has had it. The Daily Prophet has been using every opportunity to slander and ridicule Harry after his latest encounter with Lord Voldemort. Even Albus Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, has endured his fair share of scrutiny for trying to alert the Wizarding world of Lord Voldemort's return to power. Harry can hardly wait to return for this fifth year at Hogwarts, but things are hardly better there. The Defense Against the Arts post has been filled by the most loathsome teacher Harry, Ron, and Hermione have ever had the misfortune to meet. All the while, Harry's dreams are haunted by a long, dark corridor, whose meaning Harry can't even begin to fathom. With the pressures of Ordinary Wizarding Levels (O.W.L.s) and a devastating change to the Gryffindor Quidditch lineup, Harry finds his resilience tested more than ever before.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling

All Harry wanted to do was get back to Hogwarts. But just as he's happily preparing to leave his aunt and uncle's house, he receives a warning from a strange creature named Dobby, who tells Harry he must not return to school. Soon after his arrival, it becomes clear Harry should have heeded Dobby's warning, as disaster seems to be in the air. There are the usual minor annoyances: the unwanted attention of Ron's younger sister, Ginny; the obnoxiously arrogant new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, Gilderoy Lockhart; and a morose ghost named Moaning Myrtle, who hides out in the girls' lavatory. All of these pale in comparison to the sudden attacks that leave many of Hogwarts' Muggle-born population petrified. Who could possibly be behind the vicious attacks? Is it the kind but monster-obsessed Hagrid? What about Draco Malfoy, whose family could easily be related to Salazar Slytherin? Or is it the very person most students suspect---Harry Potter himself?
