Harry is back at Hogwarts in this second book of adventures in the wizarding world.
After a summer with the hideous Dursleys, Harry is rescued at last by Ron in a flying car and returns for his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. But fresh torments and horrors await: a stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockhart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls’ bathroom, and the attentions of Ron Weasley’s younger sister, Ginny.
Taking us from the waving, walloping branches of the Whomping Willow to the thrills of a rain-streaked Quidditch pitch, the second volume of J.K. Rowling’s acclaimed series is now translated brilliantly into te reo Māori by Leon Heketū Blake, Hona Black, Donovan Te Ahunui Farnham, Helen Parker, Paiheretia Aperahama and Te Aorangi Murphy-Fell for a new generation of readers.
