The Potter story so far: Book 2
Not much has changed at Hogwarts, except that Ginny Weasley, Ron's youngest sister, is also in now. Professor Snape still hates Harry, and the others still love him. There is a new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Gilderoy Lockhart, a self-obsessed publicity maniac who wants to advise Harry that 'fame is a fickle friend.'
But more sinister things are brewing, as an evil creature goes about attacking students.
They do not die, but are Petrified -- became lifeless and motionless. And a note written in blood says that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened and the creature that lives in it will kill Mudbloods -- wizards with non-magic parents.
