Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

哈利波特 2：消失的密室（英國版平裝）

 

　　這個夏天結束前，哈利本來應該能夠順利重返霍格華茲。但人算不如天算，家庭小精靈多比突然造訪，警告他若是回到學校，將面臨生命危險！為了讓哈利徹底「斷念」，多比不但攔截了所有朋友們寄來的信，還用魔法陷害他，害他慘遭禁足。

 

　　但哈利始終很清楚，自己渴望回到霍格華茲。他想念那座藏著秘密通道和幽靈的城堡，想念他的魔法課程、由貓頭鷹送達的郵件，以及馳騁天際的魁地奇。彷彿聽到了他內心的呼喚，好友榮恩駕著飛天車，硬是把他從姨丈家給救了出來。

 

　　升上二年級的哈利，因為擊退佛地魔的英勇事蹟，成為全校的風雲人物，嚮往已久的校園生活，似乎有了極佳的開端。但危機卻也在此時悄然而至，先是無人的走廊出現了詭異的耳語聲，接著竟發生一連串襲擊事件。

 

　　管理員飛七的貓、崇拜哈利的一年級學弟……遭到「石化」的被害者陸續增加。難道，多比的警告成真了嗎？犯罪現場留下的不祥訊息「密室」又代表著什麼意義？一個埋藏了五十年的可怕秘密，正一步步引領哈利走向險境……
