Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The Illustrated Edition (Harry Potter Series #2) by J. K. Rowling, Jim Kay (Illustrator)

See the world of Harry Potter as you’ve never seen it before with this glorious, fully illustrated hardback edition of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, reimagined by award-winning illustrator Jim Kay. All of your favourite characters from Hedwig to Hermione, not to mention Aragog and her terrifying lair, have been lovingly recreated in watercolour reproductions that make Rowling’s characters spring vividly to life from every page.

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. 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. 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. Harry is hearing things, strange things, venomous whispers in the shadows – and then the attacks start.

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?

Empire Book Store 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.

There are secrets slithering in the dark, are you brave enough to look them in the eye?
