  Harry Potter fans will get a long-awaited treat—the movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets will finally come out. This time around, Harry discovers a frightening secret at Hogwarts School.

  Eager readers of the first four Harry Potter books are also trying to discover a secret—the secret plot of the fifth book in the series. Because of the long wait since book four, they are guessing many things. Some think that Professor Lupin will die or that Harry and his friend Ron may be related!

  J.K. Rowling herself has only said that book five will be shorter and scarier5 than book four. To make sure her readers hear only rumors,6 she locks all her ideas for the books in a hidden vault. Since the next book does not come out until 2003, for now Harry's secret is safe with her!

  by Sean McCormack / Frankie Rocco

  哈利-波特迷们将得到等待已久的报偿--电影《哈利-波特与密室》终于要上映了。这一次,哈利在霍格瓦茨学校发现了一个惊人的秘密。

  哈利-波特丛书前四集的热心读者也在试图发掘一个秘密--哈利-波特系列第五本书的神秘情节。由于第四本书之后的漫长等待,读者揣测了许多事情。有些人认为路平教授将会死去,或者哈利和他的朋友荣恩可能是亲戚。

  罗琳女士本人只说过第五本书会比第四本短,也更可怕。为了确保她的读者只能听到谣传,她把她所有关于这些书的点子都锁在保险箱里。由于下一本书直到2003年才会发行,目前哈利的秘密也安全地藏在罗琳女士那里。
