What if he is the Heir of Slytherin? The trouble with remaining true to your convictions is that it is hard to have faith in yourself when no one else believes you. Even though Chamber of Secrets is a light-hearted read compared to Order of the Phoenix , Half-Blood Prince , or Deathly Hallows , it still tackles the importance of making your own choices and maintaining faith in those decisions, even when the rest of the world doesn't believe in you.
In Book 1, Harry shows his courage by facing down Voldemort, who is sticking out of the back of Professor Quirrell's head. In Book 2, though, Harry shows double that courage by continuing his search for the Chamber of Secrets, even when the whole school thinks he's a danger to himself and others, and by facing down Voldemort. Harry is a human being, so of course the rumors of his fellow second years and the rest of the school upset and worry him.
Even so, he overcomes his self-doubt to save Ginny Weasley from Slytherin's monster. That's real courage: to feel fear and doubt, but to go on all the same. Mugglenet hosts forums and news about the all the latest in the world of Harry Potter. Definitely worth checking out!

Gilderoy Lockhart! Riddle convinced the Headmaster at the time, Armando Dippet , that Aragog was the monster that had terrorised the school.
Hagrid was wrongfully expelled, and Riddle received an engraved Trophy for Special Services to the School. Albus Dumbledore , then Transfiguration Professor , distrusted Riddle and kept a close watch on him after that. As it was no longer safe to open the Chamber of Secrets, Riddle, not wanting his research to be for naught, created a Diary in which to preserve his sixteen-year-old self and hoped it would one day lead someone to finish Salazar Slytherin's "noble quest".
The diary was also made a Horcrux an object that holds the user immortal with the murder of Myrtle. At some point between the death of Myrtle and the — school year, the Chamber flooded under unknown circumstances. The Chamber was re-opened in when the bewitched Diary of Tom Riddle manipulated and controlled Ginny Weasley , a Gryffindor First year who had got hold of the diary through Lucius Malfoy , who slipped it in her cauldron when he viewed her other spellbooks at Flourish and Blotts , [9] [3] [10] and fell under its influence.
Ginny was compelled to vandalise the school by painting terrifying messages on the corridor walls outside Moaning Myrtle's bathroom. The first message read: "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware. On 29 May , , Ginny was taken down to the Chamber to die, while Riddle intended to feed off her life force in order to become fully alive again.
Once in the Chamber, Harry met with the memory of Tom Riddle, which was preserved in the diary. A near-dead Ginny lay nearby, whose life force was slowly being drained. As Ginny grew weaker, Riddle grew stronger. Riddle then revealed that he was, in fact, Lord Voldemort rearranging the letters of his name from "Tom Marvolo Riddle" to "I am Lord Voldemort" and then summoned the Basilisk.
Harry, after he knew that eye contact with the Basilisk would be fatal, ran from it, and was helped by the timely arrival of Fawkes , Dumbledore's Phoenix who clawed the Basilisk's eyes out, rendering it fully blind and no longer able to kill with its lethal stare.
Able to look freely, Harry battled the Basilisk with Godric Gryffindor's Sword , which materialised out of the Sorting Hat , which Fawkes had brought down to the Chamber. As Harry impaled the Basilisk, a fang stabbed into his arm in the process. Near death, Harry used the fang to stab the diary, which spurted out black blood like ink, and the memory of Riddle preserved in it was destroyed.
That action also effectively destroyed the fragment of Voldemort's soul within it, as Basilisk venom was one of the substances that were capable of destroying Horcruxes. Ron was able to open the Chamber by mimicking Parseltongue. Once inside, Hermione stabbed Hufflepuff's Cup with a Basilisk Fang that was taken from the dead Basilisk's skeleton, which destroyed the Horcrux. The Entrance to the Chamber was at a snake-engraved sink tap on the Second Floor Girls' Lavatory, where a ghost of a girl named Myrtle Warren, more commonly known as Moaning Myrtle was often found.
A corridor may be entered by giving the command of: "Open" or "Open up" to a snake engraved on the entrance in Parseltongue.
