“HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS”

While spending the summer at the Dursleys, twelve-year-old Harry Potter is visited by Dobby,
a house-elf. He says Harry is in danger and must not return to Hogwarts. Harry refuses, so
Dobby magically ruins Aunt Petunia and Uncle Vernon's dinner party. Furious, Uncle Vernon
locks Harry into his room. The Ministry of Magic sends a notice accusing Harry of performing
underage magic and threatening dismissal from Hogwarts.
Three brothers Weasly, Ron, Fred and George, arrive in their father's flying Ford Anglia and
rescue Harry, taking him to their home. Harry and the Weasley family travel to Diagon Alley for
school supplies. They run into Hermione Granger and meet Lucius Malfoy, father of Draco, and
also Gilderoy Lockhart, a conceited autobiographer and adventurer who is the new Defence
Against the Dark Arts professor. At King's Cross station, Harry and Ron cannot enter Platform
9¾ and miss the Hogwarts Express. They fly in Mr Weasley's car to Hogwarts, crashing into
the Whomping Willow on school grounds and damaging Ron's wand. The car then escapes into
the forest.
Later, Harry is the only one who hears a strange voice emanating from the castle walls. Soon
after, Mr Filch's cat, Mrs Norris, is found petrified, along with a bloody warning scrawled on a
wall: "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware". Salazar
Slytherin, one of the school's founders, created the Chamber after a dispute with fellow
founders on admitting Muggle-born students. Some in the wizarding community disdain
Muggle-born wizards like Hermione, believing pure-bloods are superior. The Chamber
supposedly houses a monster that only the Heir of Slytherin can control.
During a Quidditch game, a rogue Bludger strikes Harry, breaking his arm. Lockhart blunders an
attempt to repair it, sending Harry to the hospital overnight. Dobby visits Harry and reveals he
jinxed the Bludger and sealed the portal at King's Cross. He says the Chamber of Secrets was
once opened years before. After another attack, students attend a defensive duelling class,
during which Harry exhibits a rare ability to speak 'Parseltongue', the language of snakes.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione suspect Draco is the Heir, given his hostility toward Muggle-borns.
Hermione brews Polyjuice Potion, allowing Harry and Ron to impersonate Draco's
lackeys Crabbe and Goyle. They learn that Draco knows nothing about the heir.
Meanwhile, Moaning Myrtle, a ghost that haunts a girls' bathroom, shows the trio a diary left
in her stall. It belonged to Tom Riddle, a student who witnessed another student's death
during the Chamber's previous opening. Riddle's consciousness within the diary claims
that Hagrid was responsible. Hermione is petrified in the next attack. The school is put on
lockdown and may close. Headmaster Albus Dumbledore is forced out and Hagrid is sent
to Azkaban prison.
Following instructions left by Hagrid, Harry and Ron follow spiders into the Forbidden Forest.
They encounter Aragog, a gigantic Acromantula which denies its involvement, and claims
spiders fear the real monster. Aragog attempts to feed Harry and Ron to its progeny, but Mr
Weasley's car rescues them. Harry and Ron discover that Hermione deduced the monster is
a basilisk – a gigantic snake whose direct gaze kills and petrifies victims when seen in a
reflection. The basilisk is the voice in the walls, and it travels through the plumbing. Moaning
Myrtle was the student that was killed.
Ron's sister Ginny is abducted and taken into the Chamber. Harry and Ron discover the
entrance in Myrtle's bathroom, and force Lockhart to enter it with them. Lockhart confesses
he is a fraud who made up all of his stories and attempts to erase the boys' memories after
stealing Ron's damaged wand. The spell backfires, obliterating his own memory, and causes a
rockfall; Ron is separated from Harry and stays behind to help Lockhart.
Harry proceeds to the Chamber and finds an unconscious Ginny. A manifestation of Tom Riddle
reveals he is Lord Voldemort and the Heir of Slytherin. He opened the Chamber and framed
Hagrid. He has been using the diary to possess and control Ginny, who had been behaving
strangely. The basilisk appears to kill Harry. Dumbledore's phoenix Fawkes arrives, bringing
Harry the Sorting Hat. Fawkes blinds the basilisk and Harry pulls the Sword of Godric
Gryffindor from the Hat. He slays the basilisk but is poisoned by its venom. As Riddle taunts the
dying Harry, Fawkes' tears heal Harry. Harry stabs Riddle's diary with a severed basilisk fang,
destroying it and Riddle's body, and reviving Ginny.
Harry, Ron, Ginny, and Lockhart return to the castle. Harry gives the diary to Dumbledore.
Lucius bursts in, furious that Dumbledore returned. He is accompanied by Dobby, who is the
Malfoys' house-elf and was working to protect Harry. Harry realizes that Lucius slipped the
diary into Ginny's cauldron when in Diagon Alley to open the Chamber. Harry tricks Lucius into
freeing Dobby from servitude by giving him a sock; Lucius attempts to attack Harry in revenge,
but Dobby repels him.
The petrified students are cured, Gryffindor wins the House Cup again, Hagrid is released,
Lockhart is confined to St. Mungo's Hospital, and Harry returns to Privet Drive in high spirits.
