<p>This week&rsquo;s episode of Podtrificus Totalus covers the second Halloween that Harry spends at Hogwarts, and it&rsquo;s even spookier than the last! Nearly Headless Nick asks Harry and his friends to attend his Deathday Party, a celebration of the anniversary of his death. There, the kids get a glimpse into the world of ghosts, but as they leave, Harry once again hears the mysterious voice, and they stumble upon poor petrified Mrs. Norris under a message about the Chamber of Secrets being opened.</p>
