See the world of Harry Potter as you’ve never seen it before with this glorious, fully illustrated hardback edition of Harry Potter & the Chamber of Secrets, reimagined by award-winning illustrator Jim Kay. All of your favourite characters from Hedwig to Hermione, not to mention Aragog & her terrifying lair, have been lovingly recreated in watercolour reproductions that make Rowling’s characters spring vividly to life from every page. Harry Potter can’t wait for his summer to end, he’s had the worst birthday
- no cards, no presents & to top it all, spending the evening pretending not to exist. Not to mention some worrying warnings from a bat-eared house elf called Dobby & a rather unfortunate incident with an enchanted, flying, Ford Anglia. Surely his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft & Wizardry will be simple after all that? But all is not as it should be at Hogwarts. Harry is hearing things, strange things, venomous whispers in the shadows – & then the attacks start. What is the mysterious legend of the Chamber of Secrets? Who is heir to Slytherin? & will Harry & his friends be able to survive long enough to uncover the truth? Waterstones invites you to join Harry, Ron, Hermione as they face Bludgers, daring duels, Polyjuice Potions & more, in this gripping second instalment of the award-winning series about the boy-wizard with the lightening scar.
