Harry Potter siirtyy noitakoulun toiselle luokalle ja seikkailut jatkuvat! Harryn kesäloma Dursleylla on ollut kurjista kurjin, jästien elämää pahimmillaan. Pelastus tulee, kun Harryn ystävä Ron tulee veljiensä kanssa hakemaan hänet pois lentäväksi viritetyllä Anglialla! Niin Harry pääsee viettämään lomansa loppuajat Weasleyn velhoperheen pariin. Loman loputtua onkin taas aika lähteä Tylypahkan noitakouluun. Matka ei suju aivan suunnitelmien mukaan ja koulussakin alkaa tapahtua kummia. Velhot ja aaveet alkavat jähmettyä käsittämättömällä tavalla, Harry kuulee outoja ääniä. Rehtori Dumbledore lähetetään pois ja koulu aiotaan jo sulkea! Tarvitaan Harryn velhon taitoja selvittämään salaisuuksien kammion salaisuus.
Me queda claro que Harry no quiere gastar ni un "peso" del dinero que tiene en Gringotts, así sea que destruyó propiedad ajena, así sea que el equipo donde juega necesite nuevas escobas jaja
I have always wondered why anyone would hire Gilderoy Lockhart, and then I started working in international schools; it makes perfect sense because, when in need, they hire absolutely anyone without an actual care for their abilities or expertise. It's scary.
Only benefit of Lockhart: Snape's appearances in the novel decrease in order to show how incapable Lockhart is. Snape appears almost randomly to make a student miserable, still making me wonder why anyone at Hogwarts would've ever kept him around since he hates approximately 75% of his students so much.
Regarding Lockhart: If he was the only available candidate for the job, I would've added hours to my other teachers' duties and had them teach the bloody class together. All of this is being said as a secondary teacher who has taken on additional subjects because our only applicants are so unqualified (in some way) that they have less …

One of the things I would've liked to have seen was more focus on the Malfoys (less so Draco, more so Lucius); Dobby's appearances, as a stand-alone text, feel weird and out of place. He feels superfluous to the story, only acting as a random events to Harry. If it didn't set things up later, I'd be really frustrated with Dobby's existence.
