summarizing chapter 1-10 from 18 in
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 read the books in order i mean if did not yet read book one as i explain below.
also in silv' "coming" does not mean "has guest" that is awful! the word "has" is 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.
OMG strike 3 you are out ! in synopsis "is forgotten" that is FALSE harry didn't forget 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 anchanted 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.

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 again.
Chapter 2 Dobby’s Warning; the elf Dobby, appeard in Harry’s room. he warnd harry "not to return to Hogwarts," dobby's noise disturbed the Dursleys’ dinner. dobby even threatened to dump cake if harry would not agree to stay home. Dobby did his threat. the dursleys blame harry.
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 to w's home called "Burrow." Harry helpd "de-gnome" the 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 if harry will give ron the invisibility cloak. he did.
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. met author/teacher Gilderoy Lockhart, Arthur Weasley and Lucius Malfoy [x "come to blows" wrong they only argue].
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 and ONLY they not harry met g.l'. 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. now draco and draco's WAND will never go to hogwarts. this unknowingly ruined the "wardrobe plan."
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] into a car. they 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. when they enter hogwarts area the magic canceld the car's enchantment 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; in Herbology, hermione and ron's class learn about animal-like herbs called mandrakes. Lockhart [replaced quirrel as] was teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts. he taught the class about mischivious "Cornish Pixies".
fan fiction 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 what?
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 and ron learned about pixies in chapter 6, now in chapter 7, 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 changed 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 scool 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 such unknowingly punishing that bully. a teacher caught him and said "you must be kind same as god 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" the peer pressure worked and the girl broke one of the thin brranches off the tree which satisfied harry's desire for justice.
__end part one
Chapter 8 The Deathday Party; Nearly Headless Nick invites Harry [not him=filch] 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 separated from her kuz he is mad that his ex-friends are types of christian and besides, 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 earn a punch when they exit and 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 huffle puff 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
