Overview

Harry Potter returns in the second title in his series.  This year at Hogwarts, mysterious attacks begin as soon as Harry arrives.  Students (and a certain cat) are found petrified in hallways, literally scared stiff.   He and his friends Ron and Hermione must track down the culprit before the school is forced to close.  For the full list of books in the series, see the review of the original:  Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.
