Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts for a second year of wizarding education. He has a few mishaps even getting to the school; by now the wise reader pays attention to the small episodes that can have significance later. Harry's first-year friendships with Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger have solidified. They'll rely on those bonds to deal once again with the truculent Lord Voldemort. This time the school is plagued by a series of mysterious attacks against some of the school's muggle-borns, assaults that literally petrify the victims. The mystery is compounded by Harry's hearing a murderous voice that others cannot hear, and the appearance of an enchanted diary that spills secrets that imperil favorite Hogwarts characters. Moreover, Harry is tormented by the thought that maybe he was supposed to have been a Slytherin--indeed, that he may be a descendant of Salazar Slytherin!

The book includes many references to the first volume, HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE, to help the reader who's either forgotten key aspects of the first story or who's never read it. The latter reader is better off going back and reading the first volume. In addition to many returning characters, this volume introduces important new characters including Lucius Malfoy, Draco Malfoy's equally sinister father; Ginny Weasley, the youngest of the many Weasleys to go to Hogwarts and who's besotted with Harry; and Gilderoy Lockhart, a famous wizard author whose braggadocio seems to embarrass everyone but Hermione. The story generally is written well, and becomes ever more suspenseful as it nears the conclusion: my daughter begged me to keep reading beyond her lights-out time.

Pleasantly Surprised

I loved this product. I had not realized I ordered the UK version of the title but it was good to hear a different version of a title I had read. It arrived on time and in excellent condition and was a pleasure to listen to.
