About this title:
Synopsis: two new books in a bookcase
Review: It's hard to fall in love with an earnest, appealing young hero like Harry Potter and then to watch helplessly as he steps into terrible danger! And in J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the much anticipated sequel to the award-winning Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, he is in terrible danger indeed. As if it's not bad enough that after a long summer with the horrid Dursleys he is thwarted in his attempts to hop the train to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to begin his second year. But when his only transportation option is a magical flying car, it is just his luck to crash into a valuable (but clearly vexed) Whomping Willow. Still, all this seems like a day in the park compared to what happens that fall within the haunted halls of Hogwarts.
Chilling, malevolent voices whisper from the walls only to Harry, and it seems certain that his classmate Draco Malfoy is out to get him. Soon it's not just Harry who is worried about survival, as dreadful things begin to happen at Hogwarts. The mysteriously gleaming, foot-high words on the wall proclaim, "The Chamber of Secrets Has Been Opened. Enemies of the Heir, Beware." But what exactly does it mean? Harry, Hermione, and Ron do everything that is wizardly possible--including risking their own lives--to solve this 50-year-old, seemingly deadly mystery. This deliciously suspenseful novel is every bit as gripping, imaginative, and creepy as the first; familiar student concerns--fierce rivalry, blush-inducing crushes, pedantic professors--seamlessly intertwine with the bizarre, horrific, fantastical, or just plain funny. Once again, Rowling writes with a combination of wit, whimsy, and a touch of the macabre that will leave readers young and old desperate for the next installment. (Ages 9 and older) --Karin Snelson

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Bloomsbury, London - first edition, first impression. The scarce first printing of the second Harry Potter novel - full number line to '1' to the copyright page. A nice copy with one notable flaw and priced accordingly. Very Good: firm and square binding in sharp pictorial laminated boards; a little pushing to the spine tips and a tiny rub to one corner; toned to the edge of the page block with a trace of faint spotting to the top-edge; the original owner has boldly decorated the title page with her name and school class in purple highlighter pen, with bleed through to the verso of the page (see photos) - this is the only such writing or marking in the book; a couple of tiny spots to the margin, else internally very clean. The unclipped dustwrapper (priced £10.99 and with all the correct points) is Very Good+: vibrant colours, very slightly faded to the spine; some wrinkling to the ends of the spine and to the corner tips; free from tears; presented in a removable, archival-quality Brodart protective cover. All orders are sent very carefully wrapped in bubble wrap and sturdy cardboard. Seller Inventory # M419
