Simpering Gilderoy Lockhart; weeping Moaning Myrtle; obsequious, self-castigating Dobby - the nuances of all these distinctive characters are delicately and wittily conveyed in Stephen Fry's lucid reading of the complexly-plotted Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Harry potter returns for his second year at Hogwarts and there is a new danger afoot which threatens the existence of the school itself. Against the now familiar background of Quidditch, mastery of the dark arts and dormitory, life, Harry Potter and his friends set about discovering the dark and dangerous mystery of the Chamber of Secrets.
