Everything you need to know about Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Harry has found his feet as a wizard, and while his cruel non-magical aunt and uncle are still his guardians, he at least has a reunion with best mates Ron and Hermione to look forward to back at school.

But his second year at Hogwarts gets off to a tricky start when he and Ron crash land onto the grounds – quite literally.

Soon that’s the least of his problems, when Harry and his schoolmates are left terrified by a mysterious monster lurking the halls.

Leaving victims frozen in a petrified state, their only clue is a chilling message left on the walls in blood: ‘The Chamber of Secrets has been opened’.

Harry, Ron and Hermione soon take it upon themselves in order to find out what the chamber of secrets is, and where it’s hidden, so they can protect the world they love.
