improved summary Chamber of Secrets 1998 with FAN fiction

Potter book 2 Chamber of Secrets 1998, video 2002. fixing the awful chapter synopses By William Silvester © 2002

for example he starts with the false "In which we are reminded of the happenings during Harry’s first year at Hogwarts" that is worse than bad that is awful... truly NO "reminder IN" that chapter of "events at Hogwarts". worse this is a bad start kuz certainly not at the start of the chapter which starts with the "dramatic arguments" during the breakfast meal, which do not refer to any event at Hogwarts. just BRIEFLY uncle complained about pet owl which could be a "muggle" complaint to anybody who had a pet. even the argument about the "magic" word is baffling for anyone who did not yet read book one as i explain below. 

also in silv' "coming" does not mean "has guest" in present but wrong when "coming". also "very important" only described meeting but wrongly described the guest who is not important just a business partner. so i must fix all this.birthday "is forgotten" but must specify WHO forgot.

__fixing the book itself, in the big picture, the DANGER is not voldemort who is still too weak. so better to have harry defeat quirrel in book one WHILE v' attached to remove v' threat and that means harry ALREADY defeated v' then. these adventures are different dangers such as a flying enchanted carriage out of control.

also this failed to be a "stand alone novel" failing to reference earlier relevant events for example "say the magic word" is meaningless without referencing that the dursleys "avoided mysterious stuff" in book one and this is not referenced. i read "book 2" after reading "half blood and phoenix" and even saw video one: stone... before reading this, yet that argument was baffling without reading book one and without the reference, which a stand alone would reference. knowing he was a wizard still did not help understand their reaction.

finally, chapter 12 has a flaw as i explained there.

__

fixing summary: see above the need.

Chapter 1 The Worst Birthday; uncle Vernon prepared the family for a very important sales meeting at dinner. he and his wife forgot harry's "birthday".

fan fiction=f.f. harry hoped to get a card from ron and waited for it but no owl arrived all day.

Chapter 2 Dobby’s Warning; the elf "Dobby warnd" harry not to return to Hogwarts. dobby  hovered cake to get harry expelled.

FAN-fiction: when dobby said dont go to hogwarts, harry assured him he had already decided not to continue at hogwarts. dobby said "i believe you because you are a wizard." harry insisted that he was catholic so not a wizard anymore. ergo dobby dumped the cake so the adults blamed harry of USING magic so they put bars in his window. 

Chapter 3  The Burrow; Ron, and his brothers Fred, and George Weasley use the flying enchanted car to "break" off the window bars to free Harry.

they fly home. garden gnomes infested their garden.

FAN-fiction harry argued with ron about the bible forbidding wizardry. harry said being a wizard is a sin [book deuteronomy]. ron argued that "God never saved" the victims of voldemort, ergo more logical to be an atheist than believe a book that describes God as "merciful and doing kindness." they continue friendship DESPITE argument. harry wont use magic so he gave ron the invisibility cloak.

Chapter 4  At Flourish and Blotts; Harry tried to join the Weasleys trip [x go, both did not go] to Diagon Alley using Floo Powder.  Harry arrived in a shop, named "F&B" where he heard mr. Malfoy's business.

fan fiction: ron invited HARRY to come with them to diagon alley. harry agreed until he saw they were using FLOO powder so said he does not want to use magic anymore. ron points out "from you??" who already used the enchanted car. harry explaind that he needed to escape as an exception but not daily. ron still insists that harry, "like all religious" are "self-willingly blind hypocrites." ma compromises that harry can stay while they get school books. he read some more bible because it has many many pages and books. at F&B mr. malfoy did some mysterious business but harry did not hear it. at d.a. the weaslys buy school books.

mr. malfoy ridiculed the poor weasleys. mr. w' argued "at least my money is an honest job better than you". he expected m'  to snarl and leave but surprisingly mr. malfoy turned pale... fearing w' knew about the meeting at F&B draco repeated his complaint about [the irresponsibe] too many children. ginny argued "you are just lonely with no siblings". draco drew his wand angrily. ron yelld "expeliarmus" disarming malfoy. g.l. expeld draco from hogwarts for using magic outside of school. and therefore l' "snapped his wand" same as when hagrid was expelld. lucious argued if so expell ron too? l' argued that that charm was needed and harmless.

Chapter 5  The Whomping Willow; the 

[x entire wrong you said charles was in another country in book one] ...Weasley family and Harry [x cram wrong the inside was expanded according to book, same as the tent in goblet fire] ... drove to train Station. percy led ginny to the train but Harry and Ron? cannot get through the magic entrance.  ron flew harry in the enchanted car to Hogwarts. the engine died so it fell and crashed into the Whomping Willow. ron's wand snapped. [as mentioned in azkaban chapter one]

FAN-fiction: all the weasly students including ginny used a "port key" to get to scotland and instead of a train, quickly arrived at the hogwarts terminal. ginny separated for the BOATS same as harry' first year kuz she first year. ron and the others rode enchanted cariages same as book azkaban. dobby is by the hogwarts terminal he THERE saw ron's red hair in the carriage and announced "harry must avoid danger" as he made it fly off road and backwards. the carriage tried to return to its course so the STRUGGLE caused a crash into the w.w. which snapped ron's wand. historicly this is how his wand snapped by the w.w. but rowling's publisher made her change the story for "better marketing". which house is ginny? i say slytherin replacing draco. the sorting hat assigned ginny w. to slytherin house separate from ron and percy kuz she differed from them.

Chapter 6  Gilderoy Lockhart; harry learnd about animal-like herbs. "Lockhart" [replaced quirrel as] was teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts. he taught the class about mischivious "Cornish Pixies" who damage stuff.

+fan fiction in september, ron gave hermione a birthday present: harry's invisibility cloak.

Chapter 7  Mudbloods and Murmurs; Ron’s spell backfires due to his damaged wand, "Harry and Ron serve detention" for ron trying to curse malfoy. why harry?

fan fiction: harry went to a standard public school. he is small and shorter than his own classmates.  during recess, the big bullies surrounded harry and one pushed him down to the concrete path so he regretted that he cannot use magic to stop them. after hermione's birthday, ron argued with her about harry's absence. ron ridiculed harry "at least YOU have some sense but harry thinks wizardry is a sin against a so-called kind god who does not really act kindly." hermione argued "that is not harry's mistake. we christians are free from the laws of the old testament same as the festivals in book leviticus." ron insulted her and they stop being friends.

back at catholic scool, one fateful day the bullies were "chasing" [same as book one chapter 2] harry who tried to run. one big eleventh grader lifted harry to throw him in a large rubbish bin... while the others jeered "chuck him in'.... when the wizard nature burst forth and the whole group of bullies changed into... a group of bunnies [same as moonie made a brat transform into a rabbit but "bullies" changed to letter "n" bunnies] with bunny minds, except the one holding harry who transformed into a tree rooted to the tar parking lot and now blocking the huge rubbish bin. harry held the new branch and jumped down. he pushed the heavy bin aside so the lorry rubbish truck could approach the bin and not cause questions about the new tree.

the new rabbits ran across the school football field where some girls were practicing. some girls pick up the wandering bunnies and adopt them as class pets. the same day a mean brat poked his red eraser to annoy his class bunny. this unknowingly punishing that bully. a teacher caught him and said "you must be kind and not annoy a bunny" he argued i did not hurt it it was the soft eraser. the teacher took him to the principal and lied that he "poked the bunny with his pencil" luckily the principal did not believe the accusation. he was busy dealing with the other teachers who reported many kids absent kuz all the other bullies were simply "absent". the principal informed their parents that those brats "ran away from school" and added "good riddance" not knowing they were still in the school where they would be fed every day. 

harry was grateful he was a wizard but still did not use magic and certainly not to "un-tree" the bully. in fact he dared a girl "i bet you cant break even one branch off" so the peer pressure worked and the girl broke off one of the thin branches off the tree which satisfied harry's desire for justice.

Chapter 8  The Deathday Party; Nearly Headless Nick invited Harry and his pals , who enjoy the haloween "Deathday Party." after the party, Harry hears voices again, he n his pals followd the sound to find the cat now petrified.

fan-fiction on halloween harry emphasized his parents "deathday" [OMG rowling missed that?] and lit candles in some catholic ceremony kuz his parents were murdered on halloween. he feels comforted that he zapd voldemort while on his host quirrel, long enough for dumbledor to trap him in the mirror.

at hogwarts, hermione skipped the halloween feast to study. when she walked toward the feast to eat something she "heard hissing" kuz she does not know parseltong. she found the cat now petrified.

Chapter 9  The Writing on the Wall; Harry, Ron and Hermione consult Moaning Myrtle, about the cat mystery.

fan fiction: hermione alone went in the girls bathroom to consult moaning myrtle. not harry who is at catholic scool nor ron who stopped being her friend, only girls can go into the girls bathroom or else the boys would get punished. if they argue "i feel like i am really a lady" they will probably find their eyes filled with pepper spray before they exit.

Chapter 10  The Rogue Bludger; Harry, Ron and Hermione got permission to enter into the Restricted Section of the library. they study a book on making Polyjuice Potion. during the Quidditch match a "rogue bludger" chases Harry, and hit harry breaking his arm. despite the pain he caught the golden-snitch. Lockhart’s attempt to heal Harry removes the bones from his arm. [too bad he stayed in hogwarts] Madam Pomfrey begins to heal him, students find a student named Colin Cheevey petrified while he was aiming his camera.

fan fiction: harry was not hit by a bludger kuz he stopped going to wizard school but a hufflepuff keeper broke his arm due to the Rogue Bludger etc.

hermione used harry's invisibility cloak, which he had brought with him to the burrow in book two, and ron gave for hermione's september birthday, before their fight, in fan fiction, to secretly enter the Restricted Section of the library. she read a book about the potion that disguises the drinker. when exiting the library SHE found a petrified student.

Chapter 11  The Duelling Club; Hermione was in the girl’s toilet room brewing Polyjuice Potion,  Lockhart and Snape arranged a duelling club. draco dueld Harry. d' conjured a snake but h' calmed it.  students find the petrified bodies of Justin Finch-Fletchley and Nearly-Headless Nick.

+fan fiction: ron urged hermione, for the sake of stopping the danger of petrified students, to get disguised so SHE made a distraction while he stole ingredients from Snape’s office [draco expeld he is not a suspect, nor dueld harry, but ginny is in slytherin] l' dueld snape and snape conjured a snake. so l' yielded. ron wanted to question his sister in slytherin if she knows anyone in slytherin that is causing the petrifications. when he tried and she did not want to talk he knew he needed the disguise.

Chapter 12  The Polyjuice Potion; in Dumbledore's office the phoenix was burning, Christmas day, presents are opened, Crabbe and Goyle get drugged for taking their hair. the trio HH&R drank Polyjuice potion. H&R disguised as Crabbe and Goyle, spoke with Draco Malfoy and find he has nothing to do with the Secret Chamber. they find Hermione is part cat.

flaw: the school EMPTIES for chrismas so C&G would not be there. 

fan fiction: before chrismas hermione cleand a brush of a first year in gryffindor. only ron drank potion so Disguised as that girl spoke with his sister and she SHOWD him=her the diary! s/he learns the secret of the diary. ginny gave it to ron saying she feared it.

Chapter 13  The Very Secret Diary; Harry finds Tom Riddle’s diary. Lockhart arranged a Valentine’s party with dwarfs as cupids. after it Harry learns the secret of the diary.

f.f. harry elsewhere. party fun for ron and ginny and their pals.

Chapter 14  Cornelius Fudge; Harry found his "belongings ransacked" and the diary missing. Hermione and another girl are petrified.

fan fiction: hermione not petrified she will save ginny. instead ron the thief petrified.

Chapter 15  Aragog; H&R followd spiders into the Forbidden Forest, & find ron's car. huge spiders captured them, until car rescued them.

f.f. ron was petrified. insted hagrid not removed so he followed spiders until huge spiders captured hagrid. his spider friend freed him. 

Chapter 16  The Chamber of Secrets; Harry and Ron visit Hermione in hospital, find her note about basilisk and learn Ginny has been taken by it. Lockhart attempts to flee, but Harry and Ron force him to accompany them. harry unlockd chamber. Lockhart attempts to escape by using Ron’s broken wand, [broken by crash in womping willow] but it backfires. Harry goes alone.

f.f. hermione learns about basilisk so when ginny was found missing she went to moaning myrtle. she convinced a slytherin girl named Draupadi to help ginny. she=d' hissed at the symbol and opend the sink entrance.

Chapter 17  The Heir of Slytherin; Harry found Ginny, met Tom Riddle who controlled Ginny by the diary. the phoenix flew with the Sorting Hat. Riddle (young Voldemort) sent the basilisk to kill Harry, but as it bit harry he killed it using the sword from the hat. the phoenix healed harry who stabbed the fang into the diary, destroying it and Riddle.

f.f. harry elsewhere. hermione found ginny. immediately tom sent basilisk to kill her. phoenix flew hat to her so as it lunged forward to bite her, she ducked under the head and surprised it and stabd it with the sword in the hat. the phoenix flew the diary there so she used same sword to stab the diary. blood bursts from the book and tom exploded in a green fireball. the phoenix tears healed ginny now freed so thanked herm'.

Chapter 18  Dobby’s Reward;  Lucius Malfoy brought Dobby to hogwarts. Harry tricks Lucius Malfoy into freeing Dobby.

f.f. lucious came to beg dumb' to take back his son draco. d' agreed if he will free his house elf and never enslave elves. l' hesitates but abandoned slavery. hermione thinks about the petrified students and abducted ginny so she left christianity for judaism thinking god is an angry god. she commits to old testament not to be a witch. who will save sirius black? ginny. continued in book azkaban. 

editor's note poor hermione she will soon discover many many rules... and decide to compromise. only the rules with death penalty but free from all the rest... that means no

 witch.
