Harry Potter returns for his second year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.  A house-elf tries to prevent him from going, claiming that evil forces that will take over the school this year will put Harry in too much danger.  As predicted, strange things keep happening to the students, and people begin to suspect Harry.  Is he the true heir to the dark lord of Slytherin?
