Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets page Pages 1-64

In the first chapter we see that Harry is now living back with the Dursley's after his first term at Hogwarts. He is still treated very poorly by the Dursley's, who you thought would have recognized Harry for his wizard status. Most of the chapter just recounts the basics of Harry Potter's world, such as who the Dursleys are, what happened to Harry's parents, and who Harry is. In the second chapter we find out that on Harry's bed is a creature named Dobby. Dobby is a house elf that has come to warn Harry about Hogwarts. He claims that there is danger there and that he cannot go there at all. The Dursley's then catch Harry and his elf friend, and become very angry. Harry locks himself in his room and wakes up to find that Ron is outside his window. Ron arrives in a floating car with his Brothers Fred and George. They get Harry and his supplies out of the house and start flying to Hogwarts. They arrive at the Weasley's house to see Mrs. Weasley, who really likes Harry. Harry is then put to some tasks around the house to help the Weasley's. Harry then spends the night. Harry spends a week at The Burrow where he is cared for very well. They decide to go to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies by a method called Floo powder. It's thrown in a fireplace to create a passageway. However Harry misspeaks and enters a suspicious and old workshop. Here he sees Malfoy and watches him buy some unusual objects. Hagrid finds him and quickly takes him back to Diagon Alley where he meets up with the Weasleys.
