Many students come to suspect Harry after learning that he can talk to snakes, a rare ability associated with Slytherin. Harry, Ron, and Hermione carry out a plan to find out whether Draco is behind the attacks he is not. Several similar attacks occur over the next few months, leaving victims motionless but not dead. According to legend, Salazar Slytherin, one of the school’s founders, hid a chamber in the school containing a monster that would rid the school of students born to non-magical parents, against whom Slytherin and his followers, including the Malfoys, are deeply prejudiced. Following it, he finds the caretaker’s cat stiff and lifeless near a message announcing that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. A few days later, on Halloween, he hears the voice again. One day, Harry hears a disembodied voice threatening to kill someone no one else seems able to hear the voice. Dobby revisits Harry that night and reveals that he blocked Harry from catching the train and caused the Quidditch injury in the hopes of keeping Harry away from an unspecified danger at Hogwarts. During one match, one of the balls malfunctions, injuring Harry. Harry also practices and plays Quidditch, a sport played on flying broomsticks. The latter is taught by newcomer Gilderoy Lockhart, a handsome but incompetent celebrity author. Harry, Ron, and their friend Hermione Granger attend Herbology, Transfiguration, Potions, and Defense Against the Dark Arts classes. Arriving at Hogwarts, they crash-land in a magical tree whose branches attack them and the car Ron’s wand breaks, and they receive a detention. On the day they are supposed to return to Hogwarts, Harry and Ron find themselves unable to pass through the magical barrier to the train platform. Later, the Weasleys and the Malfoys get into a heated argument in a bookstore. Harry overhears Lucius Malfoy, the father of Draco Malfoy, Harry’s rival at Hogwarts, pawning dark magical artifacts. Near the end of the summer, Harry and the Weasleys go shopping for books and supplies. Harry spends the rest of the summer with the Weasleys. They lock Harry in his room.Ī few days later, Harry’s friends Ron, Fred, and George Weasley rescue Harry from the Dursleys in a flying car, which is a pet project of their father. The Dursleys detest magic and become furious when Harry’s visit from a magical elf named Dobby, who warns Harry not to return to Hogwarts, ruins their dinner party with some of Mr. Just over a decade earlier, Harry’s parents were killed by an evil wizard named Voldemort, who mysteriously failed to kill baby Harry, then went into hiding. In the summer of 1992, 12-year-old wizard Harry Potter lives with his non-magical relatives, the Dursleys, following his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
