Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets In the second film, Harry investigates to find out what is turning his wizards-school classmates into stone-like inanimate objects. At most schools, that would be Nintendo. (2002) ABC Family. 7pm.
Wife Swap One of the moms this weeks believes that the world will end in 2012. This is different from the more typical mom who tells her children the world will end "when your dad gets home." ABC. 8pm.
SATURDAY, JULY 10

The Hooters 2010 Swimsuit Competition But you'll have to make your own chicken wings. Spike TV. 9pm.

Scoundrels Heather gets a job in a strip club. That means extra money for the family but they have to unfold it first. ABC. 9pm.
