Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second book in the Harry Potter series, published on July 2, 1998.The main plot involves the Chamber of Secrets, a hidden chamber within Hogwarts built by Salazar Slytherin. A big fan of Fantastic Racism, Slytherin built the Chamber to house a monster which can only be controlled by his heir and which is intended to attack all those, mainly Muggle-borns, whom he considered "unworthy to study magic". Now, someone has opened the Chamber, implying the Heir of Slytherin has returned to Hogwarts, but who is it?You may have noticed this storyline has rather little to do with the overall Story Arc. While the books were still being written, Chamber was accused of essentially being devoted to a Wacky Wayside Tribe for this reason. In reality, the book is actually an Innocuously Important Episode, and introduces a major Chekhov's Gun among other bits of Foreshadowing for several later books, particularly Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Indeed, as J. K. Rowling was still a freshly-starting-out author, her editors made her remove some parts she wanted to leave in, and so she had to cram them into book six.Followed by Harry's third year at Hogwarts, in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. It was adapted into a film released in 2002.

Dirty Coward: Lockhart turns out to be one. Not only were all his heroic deeds actually done by other people, but when he enters the Chamber of Secrets with Harry and Ron, he tries to flee at the first opportunity and they have to prod him along the whole way.

Trailers Always Spoil: The true identity of the monster lurking in the Chamber of Secrets is supposed to be a mystery until the last third of the book — which did not stop multiple editions from spoiling it by heavily featuring snakes and snake imagery on their covers. The cover featured on this very page has the Final Battle between Harry and the Basilisk in plain view, thereby leaving nothing at all to the imagination.

comment
Darker and Edgier: While not as tense and brooding as the final books, Chamber of Secrets presents a huge leap in violence from the first book. More importantly, though, it introduces elements that are flat-out horror and may not have been surpassed even in the final books. Harry hearing the Basilisk's macabre ramblings while the monster stalks the piping system and the sinister, hostile message in blood aren't even the only examples.

Does This Remind You of Anything?
 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets / int_14ed6ab7
comment
Does This Remind You of Anything?: Harry's (and Ginny's) interaction with Tom Riddle's diary is extremely similar to that of an online chat room, as well as the part about the person being conversed with being revealed to not be trustworthy at all to begin with, a similarity made even more apparent in the film. It looks like the fear of every early Internet user's parents: a shady character takes advantage of an unsuspecting kid who met them online. Naïve Ginny pours out her soul “to an invisible stranger� she knows only through their text conversations and thinks she is making friends with this person. In reality he’s manipulating her, getting her to do things she normally wouldn’t, and when she goes to meet him in person she nearly ends up dead.

Cover Identity Anomaly: Harry and Ron use Polyjuice Potion to pretend to be Crabbe and Goyle, but their infiltration of Slytherin House is stymied by the fact that they hadn't planned far enough ahead to get into the Slytherin common room. They ask a passing student, but she's from Ravenclaw. Fortunately, Crabbe and Goyle are so dim that they're not really acting out of character. Even their best friend Draco only thinks that they're acting mildly slower and weirder than normal.

Secret Room: The eponymous chamber built by Salazar Slytherin, located through a secret passage in the second-floor girls' bathroom and only accessible to Parselmouths (i.e., snake talkers). The entrance was originally just a hidden trapdoor, but because of plumbing reforms that threatened to reveal its existence, it had to be adapted into an elaborate mechanism by one of Salazar's descendants.

Deadly Book: Two cases: Ron mentions a book that burns the reader's eyes out. Also, Tom Riddle (Voldemort)'s diary, which has been sapping Ginny's life and making her cause the attacks. It was able to do this because Ginny confided a lot of her secrets to the diary by writing them in it, making Riddle able to have influence over her. It's later revealed in the sixth book that the diary is one of Voldemort's Horcruxes.

Harmful Healing
 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets / int_1ff3b1d6
comment
Harmful Healing: Gilderoy Lockhart fixes Harry's broken wrist … by making the bones vanish entirely. Of course, this being the wizarding world, there's a cure for that too. (Maybe this is a common side-effect of botching a bone-mending spell?)invoked It's called "Skele-Gro". Unfortunately, Skele-Gro regrows bones gradually, so the patient will have to endure a night or two of bone splinters forcing their way through muscle, blood and nerves, since, for reasons unknown, even competent doctors don't use anesthesia for that process.

Ron trying to curse Malfoy for racism ends in this as the curse backfires spectacularly due to his use of a broken wand that had just gone through a quick fix with some magic tape and he ends up getting hit with the curse himself instead.

Aborted Arc: Ron learns that the Malfoys have a secret room in their mansion where they keep most of their illegal dark artifacts. He writes to his father and informs him, but we never hear if anything comes from it. Nothing in Draco's or Lucius' later behavior suggests that he got in trouble for this, nor is it mentioned again. Knowing Lucius, he probably bribed, blackmailed, or threatened his way out of legal action, assuming the secret room was discovered in the first place.

Alliterative Title: Most of Lockhart's books have them. Assigned to Hogwarts' students this year are Break with a Banshee, Gadding with Ghouls, Holidays with Hags, Travels with Trolls, Voyages with Vampires, Wanderings with Werewolves, and Year with the Yeti. He also wrote the "autobiography" Magical Me.

Funny Background Event: When Professor McGonagall comes running to investigate the attack on Justin and Nearly Headless Nick, she has her class with her, one of whom still has black and white striped hair. This also serves as Foreshadowing for when the trio work on human Transfiguration in Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.

Starstruck Speechless: When Ginny Weasley first meets Harry Potter, the legendary Boy Who Lived, she scurries away, unable to speak to him. Much later, in-universe and in Real Life, this is a Discussed Trope when she admits that she had to learn to lose the uncharacteristic Shrinking Violet behaviour and get to know him as a person.

Sentient Vehicle: The Ford Anglia becomes this — apparently the enchantment placed on it gave it some level of sentience. After crashing into the Whomping Willow, the car ejects Harry and Ron and takes off into the Forbidden Forest, where it goes native and putters around the woods all year. It later saves Harry and Ron from being eaten by Aragog's clan of Acromantula.

Break the Haughty: Lucius avoids prison time but suffers several blows to his ego. A twelve-year-old both stops his plan and tricks him into freeing Dobby, who takes the first opportunity to pay Lucius back for years of abuse by effortlessly blasting him down a flight of stairs. And Lucius loses his position on Hogwarts' board of governors, which he could have avoided had he not threatened the other governors' families.

Calling the Young Man Out
 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets / int_33260fba
comment
Calling the Young Man Out: Mrs. Weasley does this twice over her kids using the flying car without permission. While the first instance is downplayed because kids left at night to save Harry from his cruel aunt and uncle, this makes the second instance all the more justified: Harry and Ron left in broad daylight, were spotted by a handful of muggles, nearly got killed by the Whomping Willow, broke Ron's wand, caused the car to get lost in the Forbidden Forest, and got Ron's father in trouble at work. And it all could have been avoided if Harry had just sent an owl ahead or if they had waited to see if the Weasleys could get off of Platform 9¾. Mrs. Weasley sends a Howler to Ron over this second instance, so that everyone in the Great Hall can hear it.

Harry and Ron steal Mr. Weasley's Flying Car to get to Hogwarts after they find themselves barred from Platform 9¾. This results in Mr. Weasley facing an inquiry at work because some Muggles spotted his car, while the car itself crashes into a tree on the school's grounds and drives off into the Forbidden Forest. Lampshaded by McGonagall when she points out other, more reasonable, things they could have done to get to Hogwarts, and Harry reluctantly admits to himself that stealing a car was ill-advised.

Becoming the Boast: Subverted. Lockhart seems like a Know-Nothing Know-It-All with a grossly inflated ego. In fact, he's exactly that, plus amoral enough to claim credit for other people's accomplishments and leave a child to die. When the other teachers suggest he go after the Basilisk, it's clear they're doing it to watch him squirm. When Harry and Ron force him to accompany them, since he's the closest thing they've got to a competent adult, he betrays them at the first opportunity.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: In early chapters, Rowling recaps the lore and events of The Philosopher's Stone as if the reader has not read the previous entry; Harry is a wizard, Lord Voldemort killed his parents, he goes to Hogwarts and so on. This eventually stops about halfway through the series. This book implies (through Lockhart stealing real people's accomplishments and not just making them up) that there is a charm that can cure lycanthropy. Later books state that lycanthropy is incurable; at best, it can only be managed so the werewolf isn't a danger to others. Ron and Percy get into an argument and Percy uses his prefect's authority to deduct five points from Gryffindor. This kind of thing never happens again and it's later established, or at least insinuated, in Order of the Phoenix that prefects can't give or take house points. (Word of God does say that prefects have the authority to do so, but it still never happens again in the text itself.)

Hermione realizes the threat of the monster of the Chamber of Secrets is so great that the second she finds out what it is, she rips a page out of a library book just to make sure the information gets passed on to somebody should something happen to her before she can tell anyone.

Kids Driving Cars: The Weasley family's flying car gets this several times. First, the Weasley twins (age 14) "borrow" the car to rescue Harry, getting in huge amounts of trouble. Later, Harry and Ron drive the car across Britain when they miss the train, and get into deep trouble after they crash the car into a tree on the Hogwarts grounds, though this had more to do with the car malfunctioning than their driving.

Significant Anagram
 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets / int_52db461d
comment
Significant Anagram: TOM MARVOLO RIDDLE <-> I AM LORD VOLDEMORT. Other languages revise the anagram to make sense in their tongues — or change his birth name. One of the funniest examples of this is the French version, which gives him the name "Tom Elvis Jedusor." Some other translations are even further out there — in Danish he becomes "Romeo G. Detlev Jr." while in Icelandic he's "Trevor Delgome".

Secret Pet Plot: During Hagrid's time at Hogwarts, he had a secret pet Acromantula (giant spider), Aragog. Unfortunately, this happened to be the same time the Chamber of Secrets first opened; with the Beast of Slytherin's attacks threatening the future of Hogwarts, Tom Riddle turned Hagrid and Aragog in. Aragog was driven into the Forbidden Forest and Hagrid was expelled.

Bugs Herald Evil: When looking for clues as to who attacked Mrs. Norris, one of the first things the Trio observe is that spiders are fleeing the scene en masse. This is later used to fuel speculation that an Acromantula named Aragog is Slytherin's Monster, but it's because the spiders can see all around and don't have eyelids, so they have no means of protecting themselves from the Basilisk's glare.

Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat

comment
Dick Dastardly Stops to Cheat: In the Quidditch match, the Slytherins at a distinct advantage over Gryffindor due to their new brooms, as well as a rogue Bludger forcing the Gryffindor Beaters to protect Harry instead of watching out for the rest of the team. This enables Slytherin to take an early 60–0 lead without much trouble. But Draco, instead of immediately trying to find the Snitch and win the game, gets so caught up in taunting Harry that he doesn't even notice the Snitch hovering inches above his own ear — but Harry does. This ends up costing Slytherin the game, and Flint tears a strip off of Draco for it.

 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets / int_6b05b601
comment
Jerkass Has a Point: While it doesn't remotely excuse him going out of his way to barricade Harry in his room and stop him from going back to Hogwarts, Vernon, from a purely technical standpoint, is right to be pissed off that Harry withheld from him that he's not allowed to use magic outside of school since he basically kept the Dursleys in a constant state of fear since he returned, even if Harry had a very, very good reason for doing so. And even before that, since he never discovers Dobby's treachery in spoiling Petunia's cake and framing Harry for it, as far as he's concerned Harry is guilty as charged in trying to cause even more grief for them. Malfoy finds Colin Creevey's fanboying of Harry ridiculous and starts imitating the kid to make fun of him. Harry, who's by that time very tired of Colin's constant squealing, finds that while the imitation is cruel, it's also rather accurate.

Proof Dare: At the end, when Lucius Malfoy comes storming into Dumbledore's office, Harry makes the connection of Malfoy trying to get rid of a number of dark items, like the diary that caused all the trouble, before term started and realizes that he is the one responsible for the year's events, explaining that Malfoy slipped the diary into Ginny Weasley's stack of textbooks. Malfoy can only say, "Prove it." Dumbledore admits there's little chance of that, but warns Malfoy that the Ministry of Magic, and Arthur Weasley in particular, will be paying much closer attention to him.

Who Would Be Stupid Enough?
 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets / int_766c1cc6
comment
Who Would Be Stupid Enough?: At the very end of chapter nine, "The Writing on the Wall", Hermione comes up with the idea of using Polyjuice Potion to get information from Malfoy. However, the book with information on how to make it is in the Restricted Section of the library, and they need permission from a professor to take out the book, which would raise suspicion from any professor they ask.

In retrospect, Ron trying to comfort Ginny after the attack on Mrs. Norris by telling her that "they'll catch the nutter who did it and have him out of here in no time." Assuming Ginny had begun to suspect herself at that point, this might also count as Oblivious Guilt Slinging. After all, at the end of the book, she was convinced that she was going to be expelled. Way to go, Ron.

Right for the Wrong Reasons: Ron's sarcastic suggestion that Tom Riddle might have killed Moaning Myrtle. Ron suggests that Dobby might belong to the Malfoys, and that his whole spiel about "protecting" Harry is just Draco's trick to get him sent home. Dobby does belong to the Malfoys, but his motive is legitimately good. Their suspicions that Malfoy is involved with the Chamber opening is correct, they just suspected the wrong Malfoy.

Joke and Receive: Used as a Brick Joke. When Harry and Ron discover a trophy awarded to a Tom Riddle for undisclosed services to the school, Ron jokes that maybe Tom killed Moaning Myrtle (who is currently a ghost) because she's so annoying. Much later in the book, Tom Riddle's own memory reveals that he did cause Myrtle's murder, although that's not why he received the trophy — more likely it was for when he "turned in" Hagrid for his misdeeds.

Villain with Good Publicity: Lucius Malfoy, who is a distinguished Ministry official despite being a former Death Eater. He manages this by attributing his past affiliation with the Big Bad to the Imperius Curse. Lockhart is another example, although he's more of an Anti-Villain. Tom Riddle, fifty years prior to the events of the story. He used the Basilisk to murder a student, then framed Hagrid, took credit for catching him, and received a Special Award for Services to the School.

Mind Rape: Ginny's trust in Tom Riddle (in the diary) makes it easier for him to slowly but surely take control over her mind. Her realization comes too little too late, and Tom forces her to write her own death threat against the school walls and seal herself within the Chamber. Lockhart's only real skill, aside from being Mr. Fanservice, is wiping the memory of witches and wizards and taking their accomplishments for his own.

Didn't Think This Through: Harry and Ron steal Mr. Weasley's Flying Car to get to Hogwarts after they find themselves barred from Platform 9¾. This results in Mr. Weasley facing an inquiry at work because some Muggles spotted his car, while the car itself crashes into a tree on the school's grounds and drives off into the Forbidden Forest. Lampshaded by McGonagall when she points out other, more reasonable, things they could have done to get to Hogwarts, and Harry reluctantly admits to himself that stealing a car was ill-advised. Despite the trio spending a month brewing the Polyjuice Potion to sneak into the Slytherin dorms, none of them attempts to figure out where those dorms are until they've already taken the potion and have to find the dorms before it wears off. Back in 1943, Tom Riddle sets the Basilisk upon several Muggle-born students, eventually killing Myrtle — and only during his interview with Dippet does he realise that the school will close if the culprit isn't found (let alone if there are more deaths) and he'll have to go back to the Muggle orphanage he hates.

Not Me This Time: Harry and Ron use Polyjuice Potion to imitate Crabbe and Goyle, Draco Malfoy's two Mooks, in the hopes of getting Draco to admit that he's the Heir of Slytherin, and thus the cause of all the shenanigans happening at Hogwarts that year. Instead, they hear Draco raving about how thrilled he is that it's happening and how he'd love to congratulate and help whoever is actually behind it. Also subverted. The book tries to convince you that Lord Voldemort is not behind the mystery this time given the fact that the Chamber was originally opened almost 30 years before Voldemort rose to prominence, and Dobby even telling Harry that "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" is not involved. Of course, it turns out the perpetrator is a manifestation of the young Voldemort, then known as Tom Riddle. At the end, Dobby explains that his earlier comment was a subtle clue: "The Dark Lord, before he changed his name, could be freely named, you see?" Though it would have been lost on Harry at the time, not finding out until it was almost too late that Riddle and Voldemort were the same person.

Exposition Party: The night Harry rescues Ginny from the Chamber of Secrets, Dumbledore arranges an impromptu feast in celebration, which everyone attends in their pyjamas. In what Harry describes as the most unusual Hogwarts feast he has been to, we learn that the petrified victims have been cured, Gryffindor wins the house cup thanks to his and Ron's heroics at the Chamber of Secrets, Hagrid is released from Azkaban, Lockhart is not returning as a professor the following year, and that the end of term exams are cancelled. Perhaps we should blame late-night exhaustion on why he couldn't decide whether one of his best friends being alive and well was better than exams being cancelled.

Harry comments that he'd gladly switch, as he's had lots of practice cleaning while living with the Dursleys.

Rewatch Bonus: All the books have quite a bit of this, but Ginny seems largely irrelevant on the first read, until the end. The second time, it becomes apparent that every single mention of her once they get to Hogwarts is important to the plot.

Calling Out for Not Calling
 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets / int_987104cb
comment
Calling Out for Not Calling: Fred, George, and Ron fly the car from their home to the Dursleys, pick Harry up, and bring him back. Molly is very upset with her own boys for not having written a note (to be fair, she was upset that they went at all), but since Harry wasn't involved in planning it, she doesn't blame him. After flying the car into the Whomping Willow, McGonagall wonders why Harry didn't just send Hedwig with a note that they had missed the train instead of trying to fly the car to school. Harry admits he didn't think of it at the time.

Gambit Roulette: Lucius' plan to discredit Arthur Weasley involves slipping Tom Riddle's diary to Ginny and waiting for it to cause trouble at Hogwarts. Lucius has no idea what the diary is capable of, basically goes on a hunch, and has little (if any) control of the situation once the diary is out of his hands.

Greater-Scope Villain: Voldemort does not personally appear in this book, but the conflict at Hogwarts this year is caused by his diary containing a fragment of his soul. Lucius Malfoy, who gave Ginny Tom Riddle's old diary so it would possess her and make her carry out his work. Salazar Slytherin could be seen as this, as he bred and raised the Basilisk to purge Hogwarts of Muggle-borns. Ron also suggests that he dreamed up the idea of pure-blood supremacy.

What Measure Is a Non-Human?

comment
What Measure Is a Non-Human?: Those poor Mandrakes. Even though everything suggests that they are sapient, social lifeforms (they get "moody and secretive" in their adolescent phase, enjoy partying, and when they reach adulthood, start moving into each other's pots), nobody seems to think chopping a Mandrake up for a potion is any different than chopping up a carrot. The gnomes in the Weasley garden are similarly intelligent (or at least appear that way). Harry actually feels bad about participating in removing the gnomes from the garden … until they start trying to bite him.

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain
 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets / int_acf33d00
comment
Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: Lucius Malfoy planting the diary on Ginny Weasley. As we learn in the sixth book, this set off a chain of events that destroys one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, provides Dumbledore with the first real proof that Voldemort split his soul, and alerts Dumbledore to the possibility of multiple Horcruxes (Voldemort would be unlikely to put his only Horcrux in harms way). Good going, Lucius. While not explicitly pointed out in later books, this also ends up having another long-term repercussion. While Dumbeldore can't officially prove Lucius was behind the reopening of the Chamber and get him arrested, he can use the incident as leverage to oust Lucius from the Board of Governors. This removes Lucius' influence on Hogwarts, lessening his value as an asset when Voldemort returns (and ironically leaving Snape in a position to usurp that vacated influence to preserve his cover. Moreover, luring Harry into the Chamber of Secrets leads to him discovering one of the few ways to destroy Horcruxes: Basilisk venom. In killing the Basilisk with the Sword of Gryffindor, the sword itself absorbs some of the venom, making it another weapon that can be used on Voldemort's Horcruxes.

All for Nothing: Subverted. While it turns out that Malfoy isn't the Heir of Slytherin and doesn't even know who it is, the Trio's efforts with the Polyjuice Potion weren't entirely fruitless as Malfoy had mentioned to Ron and Harry (as Crabbe and Goyle) that his family has a secret vault under their drawing room that they hide all their illegal Dark artifacts inside. An elated Ron decides to mention this to his father to ensure the Ministry confiscates them. Not to mention that Malfoy has some information: his father said that the last time the Chamber was opened was fifty years ago. It caused a scandal because a student actually died. That doesn't give them much to go on, but Hermione makes the connection when the boys show her Tom Riddle's diary from around the same time, suggesting it may have a clue.

Inept Mage: Gilderoy Lockhart, who bungles it every time he has to do magic. Ron is also temporarily one when he has a broken wand, which makes his spells go awry, but under normal circumstances his skill and knowledge of magic are average.

Be Careful What You Wish For: For a good portion of the book, many of Harry's classmates think he is the Heir of Slytherin, to his great chagrin. Eventually they stop, but only after Hermione gets petrified, and everyone realizes Harry would never attack one of his best friends.

While it doesn't remotely excuse him going out of his way to barricade Harry in his room and stop him from going back to Hogwarts, Vernon, from a purely technical standpoint, is right to be pissed off that Harry withheld from him that he's not allowed to use magic outside of school since he basically kept the Dursleys in a constant state of fear since he returned, even if Harry had a very, very good reason for doing so. And even before that, since he never discovers Dobby's treachery in spoiling Petunia's cake and framing Harry for it, as far as he's concerned Harry is guilty as charged in trying to cause even more grief for them.

Loophole Abuse: Invoked by Arthur Weasley. There's a law to stop wizards from misusing Muggle artifacts, but Arthur uses a loophole in a law that he wrote to let him misuse them on his own time. Ron, Fred, and George don't get in trouble for doing underage magic outside of Hogwarts because their dad was the one who enchanted the car. They're just driving it. Ron and Harry don't lose any points for Gryffindor for flying the car because the school year had not started yet.

Incapable of Disobeying: Dobby works for a wizarding family with a grudge towards Harry that are plotting against him. Dobby wants to help Harry, but cannot warn him directly and his attempts to help anyway generally do more harm than good. Once Harry arranges for him to be freed, Dobby has nothing holding him back and he can lay his former master flat on his back to defend Harry.

Holding in Laughter: In the opening chapters, the Dursleys are having a rich builder and his wife over for dinner, in hopes of getting a big order for Uncle Vernon's drill-manufacturing company. When Uncle Vernon suggests flattering them with compliments at dinner, Dudley says, "How about 'We had to write an essay about our hero at school, Mr. Mason, and I wrote about you.'" Harry has to duck under the table so his aunt, uncle, and cousin won't see him trying not to laugh.

Toilet Horror: In a nod to this trope, students avoid a certain bathroom because it's haunted by an unpleasant ghost. This isn't really played for horror, as Moaning Myrtle is just gloomy and annoying, not vengeful. The trope is later played straight, however, when the same bathroom turns out to be the portal to the Chamber of Secrets, home of the monster that's been terrifying Hogwarts. It's also revealed that Myrtle was killed there by the same monster.

Everyone Has Standards: Most of the time, Cornelius Fudge goes along with whatever Lucius Malfoy wants, but he quite firmly argues against him when he learns that Dumbledore is being dismissed from Hogwarts at the worst possible time. Gilderoy Lockhart talks and acts as though he's magically superior to everyone else, but he never once claims or pretends to be more powerful than Dumbledore. He also shamelessly refuses to say Voldemort's name, even though it would make him appear even more impressive, implying that he fears the Dark wizard and refuses even to pretend otherwise. Hermione realizes the threat of the monster of the Chamber of Secrets is so great that the second she finds out what it is, she rips a page out of a library book just to make sure the information gets passed on to somebody should something happen to her before she can tell anyone. And that was a good call, because that was exactly what happened.

Also subverted. The book tries to convince you that Lord Voldemort is not behind the mystery this time given the fact that the Chamber was originally opened almost 30 years before Voldemort rose to prominence, and Dobby even telling Harry that "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" is not involved. Of course, it turns out the perpetrator is a manifestation of the young Voldemort, then known as Tom Riddle. At the end, Dobby explains that his earlier comment was a subtle clue: "The Dark Lord, before he changed his name, could be freely named, you see?" Though it would have been lost on Harry at the time, not finding out until it was almost too late that Riddle and Voldemort were the same person.

A Rotten Time to Revert: Harry and Ron attempt to uncover information about the Heir of Slytherin by using Polyjuice Potion to transform into Crabbe and Goyle so they can spy on the Slytherins up close.

Covering for the Noise: The Dursleys have invited guests and ordered Harry to stay upstairs without revealing his existence. Naturally, this is the moment Dobby chooses to enter and make a lot of noise by hitting his head against the wall in self-punishment (ruining the punchline of Vernon's "Japanese golfer" joke). Vernon attempts to cover for this by claiming Dudley left his TV on (as far as he knows, Harry is deliberately making noise).

Weaksauce Weakness: The Basilisk would die at the crowing of a rooster (presumably because it is hatched from a chicken's egg incubated by a toad). One wonders just how effective a weapon a Basilisk would be to a Dark wizard in any other situation, given everyone knows this and roosters aren't exactly hard to come by. (In fact, Tom Riddle anticipated this and made Ginny kill all the roosters on the grounds to prevent any from stopping the Basilisk.)

Xanatos Gambit: Lucius Malfoy's plan has two possible outcomes: either Ginny is caught, thus disgracing Arthur Weasley and his Muggle Protection Act, or the culprit is not apprehended, and either kills every Muggle-born in the school or drives them all away. The former seems to be his preferred option, interestingly enough, but either would presumably satisfy him. Of course, his plan backfired worse than he could have possibly imagined, which we learn in Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows.

comment
Irony: Harry lampshades one such irony in chapter one. While most kids look forward to the summer holidays, Harry dislikes it for being the two months out of the year he has to live with his horrible relatives. In retrospect, Ron trying to comfort Ginny after the attack on Mrs. Norris by telling her that "they'll catch the nutter who did it and have him out of here in no time." Assuming Ginny had begun to suspect herself at that point, this might also count as Oblivious Guilt Slinging. After all, at the end of the book, she was convinced that she was going to be expelled. Way to go, Ron. When wondering what Tom Riddle got a Special Award for Service to the School for, Ron sarcastically suggests that maybe he killed Myrtle as "that would've done everyone a favour." Riddle did kill her and he got the award for successfully framing Hagrid as her murderer. Hermione suggests that whoever flushed Riddle's diary may have been the culprit, trying to stop anyone from finding out details about the last time the Chamber was opened. It was the culprit (sort of), but they did it to stop the attacks.

20 Minutes into the Past: Nick's 500th Deathday cake says he died in 1492. Hence, the book must be set in 1992 even though it was published in '98.note The Deathday cake was the only piece of evidence in the first six books that gave a definitive answer to when exactly the books took place, leading the system of dating derived from it to be labelled the "Deathday Cake Dating" by fandom prior to the publication of Book Seven, which provided another piece of evidence agreeing with the Deathday cake, namely that Voldemort killed Harry's parents in 1981.

Shout-Out: Fawkes is a fiery phoenix that dies in an explosion. Guy Fawkes, a real-life person, tried to blow up the British Parliament. There's a really clever and subtle (not to mention strictly for adults) one when the students think Harry is the Heir of Slytherin and Fred and George make fun of the idea by walking in front of Harry shouting "Make way for the Heir of Slytherin, seriously evil wizard coming through …" Another subtle one comes from when Harry and Ron find Riddle's diary. Ron stops Harry from touching it saying it could be dangerous. When Harry asks "How can a book be dangerous?" Ron replies, "You'd be surprised." William Shakespeare's The Winter's Tale also features a character called Hermione who is frozen into a statue but later revived.

Series Continuity Error
 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets / int_ca95473c
comment
Series Continuity Error: Two mentions of werewolves in this book make absolutely no sense come the very next instalment: Lockhart claims he used a spell to turn a werewolf back into a man, and Riddle claims that Hagrid raised "werewolf cubs" during their school days. The former could be In-Universe Factoid Failure, though it would require the wizarding public to be ignorant enough about werewolves that Lockhart's claim doesn't immediately reveal him as a charlatan. The "werewolf cubs" error was straightened out much later by Word of God: apparently if a male and female werewolf meet in their wolf forms, they can breed and produce a litter of "beautiful and unusually intelligent" wolves, incapable of spreading the condition. The brood raised by Hagrid is apparently still running around the Forbidden Forest.

Slower Than a Snail: While staying with the Weasleys, Harry plays a few friendly Quidditch matches with them. According to the narration, Ron's old hand-me-down Cleansweep broom is so slow compared to his own Nimbus 2000 that passing butterflies sometimes overtake it.

Cerebus Syndrome: The first book presented the wizarding world almost entirely as a place of wonder and whimsy. While the threat of Voldemort loomed large over the heroes, he was presented mostly as a bad apple in an otherwise magical place. With this book, however, the honeymoon is over, and the series begins to dig deeper into the problems of the magical world as a whole, namely the undercurrent of prejudice and Fantastic Racism that goes back centuries, and of which Voldemort is only the most recent manifestation.

"Eureka!" Moment: Harry deduces that Lucius Malfoy was the one who set the whole plot in motion when he sees Malfoy arrive with Dobby, the elf who warned Harry in the first place. It helped that Dobby kept pointing to the Diary, then to Malfoy, then punching himself in the head. Hermione has one when she realises what the monster of Slytherin is, but doesn't get to tell anyone other than Penelope Clearwater. Harry gets the moment secondhand when he reads her note later.

Artistic Licence – Biology: Madame Pomfrey chases Harry's teammates from his bed by saying he has thirty-three bones to regrow in his arm. A human arm, from fingers to shoulder girdle, contains only thirty-two bones (fourteen phalanges, five metacarpals, eight carpals, one radius, one ulna, one humerus, one scapula and one clavicle). JKR may have missed the fact that the thumb contains only two phalanges.note Or maybe she didn't; Harry is not quite physically mature yet, and humans are born with smaller bones which fuse together during the growing process.

Hijacked by Ganon: The book plays out like this. So a monster controlled by the Heir of Slytherin has been attacking students. At the end, we discover that — surprise! — Voldemort was behind the entire thing. Only it's not Voldemort himself, just a piece of his soul containing the memories of his sixteen-year-old self. Riddle even makes a point to explain his actions and motivations before revealing himself to be a young Voldemort, hinting that he was something of a Predecessor Villain.

comment
Red Herring: Malfoy, Percy, Hagrid, and even Harry are set up as possible Heirs of Slytherin, with Malfoy being the choice that's so obvious it's stupid, and Percy and Hagrid both having Really Big Secrets that make them act suspiciously. Naturally, our heroes suspect Malfoy immediately and spend several chapters investigating him, only to find out he's not the culprit. Much later, Ernie Macmillan asks Harry and Ron if it could be Malfoy, but they have long since discovered his innocence. At times, Lockhart seems to be set up as another possible Heir of Slytherin with possible Obfuscating Stupidity, though that also turns out not to be the case.

Contrived Coincidence
 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets / int_dc579c91
comment
Contrived Coincidence: All the victims of the Basilisk see it indirectly, except for the last two victims who knew what the monster was and were deliberately looking around corners with a mirror. According to Tom Riddle it was the same way when the Chamber was opened in the 1940s, save Moaning Myrtle, that is. Dobby's plan to seal the entrance to Platform 9¾ to keep Harry and Ron out and miss the train would have failed if (1) Harry and the Weasleys didn't arrive super-late, after all the other students had already gone through, and (2) Molly didn't pick that very year to go through the barrier before Harry and Ron. If either of those rather unlikely events didn't happen, some other witch or wizard would have been on the main station floor to help them through, or stop the train. Ron only knows who Tom Riddle is because (1) he had to clean the trophy room as punishment for the flying car incident, (2) his wand was broken in said incident and resulted in the slug-vomiting spell he attempted on Malfoy backfiring on him, and (3) the spell caused him to keep vomiting slugs on Riddle's award while he was cleaning it.

Chekhov's Gunman: Harry, Ron and Hermione interact with Moaning Myrtle throughout the book, and only near the end do the former two realize that she's the girl the Heir of Slytherin killed fifty years before. The book offhandedly checks in with Ginny Weasley periodically before she disappears near the end and then becomes pivotal to the climax.

Innocuously Important Episode: Some readers found the novel to be heavy in the padding department, particularly the Wacky Wayside Tribe aspect. But the novel is quietly setting up Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and, to some extent, foreshadowing Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. See the Harry Potter Chekhov's Gun page for a list.

Alone with the Psycho: Harry sees an unconscious Ginny in the Chamber of Secrets and tries to rouse her. He looks over for a moment and sees Tom Riddle, looking semi-solid. Harry stands and says they need to run, now, before the Basilisk comes. Tom reassures him that the Basilisk won't come until it is called. Slowly, it dawns on Harry that Tom is inappropriately calm considering the circumstances; sure enough, Tom reveals that he is the Heir of Slytherin. Also known as Lord Voldemort. Oh, and he has Harry's wand.

Basilisk and Cockatrice: The Basilisk is a snake the size of several buses that uses the school plumbing system to get around. It attacks several times, but the instant-death gaze apparently needs to be direct: the victims escape death by seeing it through a ghost (who was already dead), camera, mirror, or reflected in a puddle. They get completely paralysed instead.

Exact Words: At the beginning of the book, Dobby says that "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" is not involved in the plot he's trying to warn Harry about. At the end of the book, Harry asks why he said that when the whole thing revolved around one of Voldemort's Horcruxes, which Dobby explains as actually intended to be a clue — the Horcrux in question was made when he was still Tom Riddle, and so "could be freely named", meaning that at the time he wasn't "He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named" yet.

Spider Swarm
 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets / int_f1d05e8e
comment
Spider Swarm: The giant spiders (also known as Acromantula) appear to be social, although instead of a queen, they are led by an elderly male spider named Aragog. It's explicitly stated that Aragog had a bride called Mosag, so apparently, Acromantula females don't feed on their male.

 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets / int_f4b1129f
comment
Anger Born of Worry: Mrs. Weasley's reaction to her children and Harry arriving at the Burrow is "Beds empty! No note! Car gone—could have crashed—out of my mind with worry—did you care?" (She then makes a point of telling Harry that it's not his fault.)

Nerds Love Tough Schoolwork: In the ending, Professor Dumbledore cancels the final exams on account of the terror and stress of the attacks disrupting a normal school year and holds a grand celebration instead, much to Hermione's dismay.

comment
Brick Joke: When Harry and Ron are flying the car to Hogwarts, Harry can't help but imagine Fred and George getting jealous upon seeing the two arrive at the castle in such fashion. Sure enough, once they make it to the common room, Fred and George angrily ask them why they couldn't come in the car as well. Early in the school year, as Malfoy is mocking Harry over signed photographs, Ron tells him, "Eat slugs." In their next confrontation, at Quidditch practice, he casts a backfiring curse which makes himself vomit slugs.

Pet the Dog: Snape has a couple of moments. During the Duelling Club, he quickly intervenes when Draco and Harry jinx each other and dispels Draco's snake when it goes for Justin. He also seems just as distraught as the other teachers when they learn that Ginny was taken into the Chamber of Secrets. In the same scene where Cornelius Fudge arrives to bring Hagrid to Azkaban prison in effort to end the attacks, Fudge objects to Lucius Malfoy and the Hogwarts governors' motion to suspend Dumbledore because he knows this will only make the school even more dangerous for the Muggle-borns.
