And Harry's showdown with a monstrous serpent in the bowels of Hogwarts should equal the most excitable readers' expectations. Making their Potter debut in Chamber of Secrets are Dobby, a funny, forlorn, computer-animated elf, Miriam Margolyes as Professor Sprout and Kenneth Branagh as Gilderoy Lockhart, the vain Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher - a role that was much sought after by British actors last year.
