Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets page Pages 64-104

Here we find Harry still living with the Weasley's at the Burrow. The night before they leave for Hogwarts, preparations are made. The flying car is enchanted to fit everyone's luggage. They arrive at the platform for the Hogwarts train, but miss the train after the passage will not open. They decided to go ahead and use the flying car to follow the train to Hogwarts. The boys have a great time and are enjoying themselves. They then begin to get bored and the car is running out of gas. They start plummeting towards the Hogwarts Lake. They crash the car into a "Whomping Willow". This is quite a unique tree that will actually strike back if hit. Harry and Ron have to quickly gather all their supplies and run out towards Hogwarts. They arrive just in time for the sorting ceremony that all the first years have to go through. The boys get caught by Snape who is giddy to punish them. He calls Dumbeldore and McGonagall hoping for a severe punishment. He is disappointed when he finds they only receive a small detention and are still allowed to attend Hogwarts. In the next chapter we find that a huge flock of Owls arrive with packages for everyone. Ron gets a message known as a "Howler". Mrs. Weasley's voice explodes loudly in the hall, yelling at Ron for ruining the Car. They Meet Ghilderoy Lockhart. This character seems quite obsessed with himself and what he has done. The students go through their first day of classes and all the magical events they learn there. Overall the book seems to be following the story line pretty well, however particular actions such as the Whomping Willow are explained more thoroughly in the book.
