Changes

'''''Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets''''' is the second of seven books in the ''Harry Potter'' series authored by [[J. K. Rowling]]. Harry Potter and his friends [[Ron Weasley]] and [[Hermione Granger]] discover that someone called the "heir of Slytherin" is unleashing a monster to purge Hogwarts of all "mudbloods", a derogatory term for wizards with Muggle (non-wizard) parents. Most people think Harry is Slytherin's heir because he can talk to snakes, which is a rare ability and one that was possessed by Salazar Slytherin, one of the four co-founders of Hogwarts, along with Helga [[Hugglepuff]], Rowena [[Ravenclaw]], and Godric Gryffindor, which is why a serpent is the mascot of Slytherin House. Harry remembers that he was almost sorted into [[Slytherin]] by the Sorting Hat in his first year and it only put him in [[Gryffindor]] because he asked it to.  Harry suspects that his enemy fellow student [[Draco Malfoy]] might be the heir of Slytherin but eventually discovers that it is the memory of the Dark Lord Voldemort's sixteen year old self who is Slytherin's heir.
