We analyze in detail everything: from when Harry, Ron and Lockhart head to the Chamber of Secrets, to when the diary is destroyed, and Ginny Weasley is saved. We also debate whether or not professor Lockhart deserved to be a Ravenclaw, and how come professor Dumbledore never bothered to ask Moaning Myrtle about what happened 50 years ago.

We digress a little bit on things like “Who elected Fudge as Minister for Magic?”, “Why was it necessary for Tom Riddle to announce that Ginny’s skeleton would lie in the Chamber forever?” and “Are wizards being rude to mandrakes?”.
