Dobby the house-elf tries to keep Harry from going back to Hogwarts, but he arrives anyway, in a flying car with Ron. At school, students start turning up petrified, and a message on the wall says the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Harry learns he can speak to snakes and becomes a suspect. An old diary of Tom Riddle's blames Hagrid, who is taken to Azkaban. Hermione is petrified but leaves a clue: the monster is a basilisk. When Ginny vanishes, Harry enters the Chamber and finds Riddle is a young Voldemort preserved in the diary. With Fawkes and the sword of Gryffindor, Harry kills the basilisk and stabs the diary with a fang. He frees Dobby with a sock and Hagrid returns. Left hanging: how much Harry and Riddle have in common.
