Note: All page numbers refer to the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Illustrated Edition.
DOBBYS WARNING (6 MINUTES LONG)

Chapter 2, page 10, from Harry managed not to shout out, but it was a close thing to
page 16 There were screams from the dining room and Uncle Vernon burst into the
kitchen to find Harry, rigid with shock, covered from head to foot in Aunt Petunias
pudding.
THE WHOMPING WILLOW (6 MINUTES LONG)

Chapter 5, page 58, from Mr Weasley started up the engine and they trundled out
of the yard, Harry turning back for a last look at the house to page 65 I think the
feasts already started, said Ron, dropping his trunk at the foot of the front steps and
crossing quietly to look through a brightly lit window.
THE DEATHDAY PARTY (6 MINUTES LONG)

Chapter 8, page 100, from By the time Halloween arrived, Harry was regretting his
rash promise to go to the Deathday Party to page 107 He had pushed to the front of the
crowd, his cold eyes alive, his usually bloodless face flushed, as he grinned at the sight
of the hanging, immobile cat.
THE POLYJUICE POTION (8 MINUTES LONG)

Chapter 12, page 157, from They stepped off

the stone staircase at the top and Professor
McGonagall rapped on the door to page 163
Have you ever heard of a plan where so many
things could go wrong?
THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS
(5 MINUTES LONG)

Chapter 16, page 218, from Harry knew the

whole mystery might be solved tomorrow
without their help to page 222 Harry felt Ron
slide silently down onto the wardrobe floor
beside him.
