Julia and Victoria embark on an important investigation to answer one simple question: Why is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets most likely to be readers’ least favorite book in the series? Plus, in the process, we solve other mysteries, such as “Why is Professor Lockhart so annoying?” and “What happens when Hermione isn’t around to keep Ron and Harry from doing something stupid?”
