What is the name of J.K. Rowling’s second Harry Potter novel?

J.K. Rowling’s second Harry Potter novel is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Bloomsbury published the book in the United Kingdom in 1998.

The novel follows Harry’s second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Its central mystery concerns a hidden chamber, attacks on students, and the legend of Salazar Slytherin. The story also introduces Tom Riddle’s diary, an important object in the wider plot.

The book followed Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone and came before Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. In the United States, the first novel had a different title, but Chamber of Secrets kept the same title in both major English-language editions. The film adaptation was released in 2002.
