We’re delighted to share these new editions of the series, now entirely reimagined by one of our favourite writers and illustrators, Jonny Duddle. The Chamber had a green hue in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, but in the second part of the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, its hue was blue. Harry Potter has been at the heart of Waterstones since the first copies of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone came into our hands. The Chamber of Secrets happened to be the location of the destruction of two of Voldemorts Horcruxes: the Diary and the Cup. There are secrets slithering in the dark, are you brave enough to look them in the eye?

Waterstones invites you to join Harry, Ron, Hermione as they face Bludgers, daring duels, Polyjuice Potions and more, in this gripping second instalment of the award-winning series about the boy-wizard with the lightening scar.

What is the mysterious legend of the Chamber of Secrets? Who is heir to Slytherin? And will Harry and his friends be able to survive long enough to uncover the truth? Harry is hearing things, strange things, venomous whispers in the shadows – and then the attacks start. Surely his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry will be simple after all that? But all is not as it should be at Hogwarts. Not to mention some worrying warnings from a bat-eared house elf called Dobby and a rather unfortunate incident with an enchanted, flying, Ford Anglia. Harry Potter can’t wait for his summer to end, he’s had the worst birthday - no cards, no presents and to top it all, spending the evening pretending not to exist. This spectacular edition is the perfect gift for Harry Potter fans of all ages, a wonderful addition to any collectors bookshelf and an enchanting way to introduce this beloved series to a new generation of readers.
