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.
