Description
Join Harry Potter on the magical journey of a lifetime in the second book in J.K. Rowling's multi-award-winning series. Harry Potter's summer has included the worst birthday ever, doomy warnings from a house-elf called Dobby and rescue from the Dursleys by his friend Ron Weasley in a magical flying car! Back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his second year, Harry hears strange whispers echo through empty corridors - and then the attacks start. Students are found as though turned to stone ... Dobby's sinister predictions seem to be coming true. J.K. Rowling's internationally bestselling Harry Potter books continue to captivate new generations of readers. Harry's second adventure alongside his friends, Ron and Hermione, invites you to explore even more of the wizarding world; from the waving, walloping branches of the Whomping Willow to the thrills of a rain-streaked Quidditch pitch. This gorgeous hardback edition features a spectacular cover by award-winning artist Jonny Duddle, plus refreshed bonus material, allowing readers to learn about wand woods and get to know the many members of the Weasley family. Perfect for anyone who's ready to lose themselves in the biggest children's books of all time. DUELLING - DUNGEONS - DARK ARTS Seven magical stories, one epic adventure.
