Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets In this second volume, it’s a year later in Harry Potter’s life, which begins with Harry at home on summer break with his unpleasant aunt and uncle, The Dursleys, and their horrid son Dudley. Spending the summer with them has been dreadful, but Harry is finally packing his bags and getting ready to head back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It’s then that a house-elf from Hogwarts named Dobby proclaims that if Harry returns to Hogwarts, disastrous events will occur. Dobby’s warning proves to be accurate from the beginning when Harry and Ron miss the Hogwarts Express train and decide to fly to school in a blue Ford Anglia, but they have a crash landing in notorious Whomping Willow. But
Harry Potter is a fictional character invented by J.K Rowling in the series of seven books starting with Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone and ending with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (Wikipedia, 2015). Harry is the main character in this series whose parents died when he was young and he was brought up by his aunt and uncle (Philosopher’s Stone, 1997, p.5). Harry was neglected by his aunt and uncle (Philosopher’s Stone, 1997, p.27). Harry is presented a whole new reality when he goes to the zoo one day and his integration into the magical world changes him from the foundation. These changes within him will be analysed using the developmental psychology theories of Lawrence Kohlberg and Erik Erikson to explain how the environment aided or obstructed Harry’s development.
It is clear that the Harry Potter series has taken a journey on the Hogwarts Express to the road of international success. The “Harry Potter” series is the story of the eponymous boy, orphaned at birth and left in the care of the aunt and uncle along with the ill mannered son who make up the Dursley family who are known as “Muggles” (non-magical people). On Harry's eleventh birthday, Harry receives a letter from Hogwarts, a school that grooms young wizards and witches, and promptly enters a world of wonder and mystery. At Hogwarts, he meets his two closest friends, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger who begin there adventure together through love, friendship and learning about magic. Harry learns very soon that the death of his parents was no
Flying is his natural talent, and symbolic of his first triumph. The first time Harry takes flight is to defend a fellow student being bullied by Harry's enemy, Draco Malfoy. Malfoy steals a treasured possession from Harry's fellow student, and threatens to throw it on the roof of the castle where it would more than likely be lost forever. Harry intercepts the treasured possession midair after a fifty foot dive. A teacher sees this event occur, and recommends that Harry should join the school's Quidditch team, a team that plays games involving broomsticks, quaffles, and bludgers. It is symbolic that Harry's aid of a fellow student in distress secures him a position on the sporting team. “Broomsticks are cool, I mean who wouldn't want to fly.” (Howe “Sorcerer's Stone”). Flying is an act many of us have dreamed of. It seems only fitting that Harry should be compensated with the wonderful experience of flight after suffering such a depressing childhood.
The next morning, Ron got a Howler from his mom. The y went to Herbology where they repotted Mandrakes. Harry was going to Quidditch practice, after a few minutes the Slytherin team came to the field. They said they had to train their new Seeker, Draco Malfoy. Draco’s father bought the whole team new Nimbus Two Thousand and Ones. Hermione got mad and told Draco what she thought of him. Then Draco called her a Mudblood, Ron tried to put a curse on him, but
His aunt and uncle utterly despise him and everything he stands for because Harry reminds them of Harry’s parents. Harry receives a letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and discovers that he is a wizard, and that his parents were not killed in a car crash, but by an evil wizard named Lord Voldemort. Harry gets his school supplies from Diagon Alley, a wizarding shopping center, and meets one of his new professors, Professor Quirrell, there. Professor Quirrell is a rather pathetic man who speaks with a stutter and is terrified at the thought of anything vaguely harmful. Harry goes to Hogwarts and gets caught up in many different misadventures.

Harry’s departure from his old life is evident once he steps on to Platform Nine and Three Quarters to board the Hogwarts Express (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone). Leaving his previously known home is not difficult because of the ten years of neglect that occurred in the Dursley household. Harry has only been in two magical places and he already feels more comfortable than ever. Now that he has crossed over to the hidden world of magic, he is ready to embark on his adventure.
Harry Potter and Articulus Flinch left the Dursleys' Gallery to go to London, where Harry was going to buy the equipment needed for his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
However, that is until he is informed about Hogwarts, his famous parents. the fact that he is a wizard and famous himself. The Call to Adventure becomes clearer when he finally receives the acceptance letter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Originally Harry was supposed to attend Stonewall High now he will have to leave what he once knew and venture into the unknown(wizard world.)
For example, on page 195, Harry Potter goes through the secret passage to Honeydukes, even though once he is there, there is a high chance that he will get caught. This could get him in trouble because he is not supposed to go into Hogsmeade because his aunt and uncle did not sign his permission form. It is also risky to go to Hogsmeade because people believe that Sirius Black is trying to find and kill Harry.
“Come on, Harry, you can’t be late for your first day of Sophomore year,” Sirius Black spoke to his godson. “well, you can, but as your legal guardian I say you can’t,” he added as an afterthought. Harry, however, wasn’t truly listening. He hadn’t gone to bed early the night before, his sleeping schedule still out of whack from summer vacation, and now he was insanely tired. He wanted to do nothing more but go straight back to sleep and possibly sleep for twenty years.
In the book, Harry, Ron and Hermione go to live at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for the school year. Firstly, Harry, Ron and Hermione have to adjust to it because they can not go exploring in the middle of the night and can not go into the Forbidden Forest, exceptionally now that a serial killer is out for Harry Potter. “You know what Harry and Ron are like, wandering off by themselves- they’ve ended up in the Forbidden Forest twice! But Harry mustn't do that this year! (Rowling,65)” Secondly, they know they must be careful because every year seems to bring deadly situations the tree need to overcome to stop Voldemort (the most powerful wizard who is off to kill Harry). They also have to adjust to the wizarding world with spells

After that night on the way back to Gryffindor Tower, the house Harry was placed into, the fat lady, one who guards the tower, was missing because Sirius Black is in the school looking for Harry. Professor Dumbledore made all the students sleep in the great hall where they are all safe and the teachers are watching the door to make sure Sirius Black doesn’t come back. The next visit to Hogsmeade, Harry still can’t go, Fred and George Weasley, Ron’s older twin brothers, show Harry Marauder’s map who was written by Moony, Prongs, Wormtail and Padfoot who were all students at Hogwarts. The twins that the map can lead Harry to Hogsmeade with the secret passages.
