Award-winning artist Jim Kay illustrates year two of Harry Potter's
adventures at Hogwarts, in a stunning, gift-ready format.
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.But each of
these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone --
or something -- starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be
Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be
Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one
everyone at Hogwarts most suspects... Harry Potter himself?
