Harry's second year at Hogwarts is rife with fresh torments and horrors, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockhart, a spirit named Moaning Mirtle who haunts the girl's bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny.

Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally revealed? Or coul it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects... Harry Potter himself!
