Harry Potter #2
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he's packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike.
And strike it does. For in Harry's second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockhart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny. But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone, or something, starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects: Harry Potter himself?

Although she writes under the pen name J.K. Rowling, pronounced like rolling, her name when her first Harry Potter book was published was simply Joanne Rowling. Anticipating that the target audience of young boys might not want to read a book written by a woman, her publishers demanded that she use two initials, rather than her full name. As she had no middle name, she chose K as the second initial of her pen name, from her paternal grandmother Kathleen Ada Bulgen Rowling. She calls herself Jo and has said, "No one ever called me 'Joanne' when I was young, unless they were angry." Following her marriage, she has sometimes used the name Joanne Murray when conducting personal business. During the Leveson Inquiry she gave evidence under the name of Joanne Kathleen Rowling. In a 2012 interview, Rowling noted that she no longer cared that people pronounced her name incorrectly.
Rowling was born to Peter James Rowling, a Rolls-Royce aircraft engineer, and Anne Rowling (n茅e Volant), on 31 July 1965 in Yate, Gloucestershire, England, 10 miles (16 km) northeast of Bristol. Her mother Anne was half-French and half-Scottish. Her parents first met on a train departing from King's Cross Station bound for Arbroath in 1964. They married on 14 March 1965. Her mother's maternal grandfather, Dugald Campbell, was born in Lamlash on the Isle of Arran. Her mother's paternal grandfather, Louis Volant, was awarded the Croix de Guerre for exceptional bravery in defending the village of Courcelles-le-Comte during the First World War.
Rowling's sister Dianne was born at their home when Rowling was 23 months old. The family moved to the nearby village Winterbourne when Rowling was four. She attended St Michael's Primary School, a school founded by abolitionist William Wilberforce and education reformer Hannah More. Her headmaster at St Michael's, Alfred Dunn, has been suggested as the inspiration for the Harry Potter headmaster Albus Dumbledore.
As a child, Rowling often wrote fantasy stories, which she would usually then read to her sister. She recalls that: "I can still remember me telling her a story in which she fell down a rabbit hole and was fed strawberries by the rabbit family inside it. Certainly the first story I ever wrote down (when I was five or six) was about a rabbit called Rabbit. He got the measles and was visited by his friends, including a giant bee called Miss Bee." At the age of nine, Rowling moved to Church Cottage in the Gloucestershire village of Tutshill, close to Chepstow, Wales. When she was a young teenager, her great aunt, who Rowling said "taught classics and approved of a thirst for knowledge, even of a questionable kind," gave her a very old copy of Jessica Mitford's autobiography, Hons and Rebels. Mitford became Rowling's heroine, and Rowling subsequently read all of her books.
Rowling has said of her teenage years, in an interview with The New Yorker, "I wasn鈥檛 particularly happy. I think it鈥檚 a dreadful time of life." She had a difficult homelife; her mother was ill and she had a difficult relationship with her father (she is no longer on speaking terms with him). She attended secondary school at Wyedean School and College, where her mother had worked as a technician in the science department. Rowling said of her adolescence, "Hermione [a bookish, know-it-all Harry Potter character] is loosely based on me. She's a caricature of me when I was eleven, which I'm not particularly proud of." Steve Eddy, who taught Rowling English when she first arrived, remembers her as "not exceptional" but "one of a group of girls who were bright, and quite good at English." Sean Harris, her best friend in the Upper Sixth owned a turquoise Ford Anglia, which she says inspired the one in her books.

鈥淚t is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.鈥� CHILLS.

Okay DUH 5/5 stars. I actually liked this book more than I remembered! This used to be my least favorite of the Harry Potter books and, while that still might be true, I was more entertained than I expected! I always forget how different Book Ginny is from Movie Ginny (way better all around) and how she has such a bigger role in the books than the films.
NOW ONTO HP AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN!

JK Rowling really knows how to write a great book, thats for sure! Although this wasn't my favorite book in the series, it definitely wasn't because it was bad. I loved the plot and conflict, even though it wasn't as intense as the others were. I was definitely shocked at the end...so epic and mind blowing!

Notes: A bit bland at times, with less wonder and discovery than before, but finishes well with a more satisfying conclusion.

Continuing my reread with the illustrated editions! Gotta get through this one so that my daughter can start it next. <3

"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
What can I say that hasn't been said before about this series? What words can do this book justice? I've felt at a loss on how to explain my feelings for these books as I've read them. I didn't experience them as a child and therefore my experience is clearly different than most others on here, but in some ways I think it's just as magical to read these for the first time as an adult as it was for everyone who devoured these as they were published in their childhood. I have kids, so I was constantly wondering how my 5 year old will accept these books when she's a bit older and tried to view the story through her eyes.
The holidays are always a busy, stressful time for us. All of our family is a hefty distance to travel to and, on top of that, we're moving into our new place this month. All I could think about was how desperately I wanted to escape all of my adult responsibilities for just a bit each day, and this was the perfect book to do so with. No matter your age, the magical world of Hogwarts is truly spectacular; the characters are such that they stay with you even after the final page is turned and the writing takes you back to a place you weren't sure existed for us old farts anymore. If you have been hiding under a rock for the past 20 years like I have, I highly encourage you pick these books up and get swept away like I did. Time is a precious commodity these days, and you couldn't spend it in a better way than with these precious kiddos.

I love this book, of course I do, but the fact remains that this book prominently featured two of my most hated Harry Potter characters. Ginny Weasley and Dobby. There, I said it. I hate them both. In my Harry Potter hate list, Ginny and Dobby probably rank somewhere below Umbridge and Peter Pettigrew. Yeah, you heard me. I hate them that much.
The reason I hate Ginny is---well, never mind. I don't want to start another shipping war here, the last one was terrible enough, so let the reason for my hatred be implicit and unsaid.
Dobby is freaking annoying, yo. All his eagerness and shit - and yeah, I know what happens in the end. Doesn't matter. I still hate Dobby. Dobby is the equivalent of fingernails on chalkboard for me. If he had been my elf, I'd have given him a sock already so he could his whimpering, sniveling ass out of my life. He means well, I know he does, it's just that he's such a frustratingly well-meaning bumbling idiot.

鈥淵ou know what, Harry? If he doesn鈥檛 stop trying to save your life he鈥檚 going to kill you.鈥�Aaaaaaaand one final note.
鈥淕inny!鈥� said Mr. Weasley, flabbergasted. 鈥淗aven鈥檛 I taught you anything. What have I always told you? Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can鈥檛 see where it keeps its brain?"No particular reason I included that, except for the fact that it reminded me of my ex-boyfriend :3

The Harry Potter Saga continues when The Chamber of Secrets is opened at Hogwarts, landing some of Harry鈥檚 classmates in danger. Will Harry Potter be able to save the day?
The reading of the Harry Potter series has been quite interesting because I really liked the first movie but didn鈥檛 really care for the rest. It becomes too dark, but what does that mean exactly? So it has been an exciting process to document exactly how my feelings for the Harry Potter series evolved since the first book.
In the beginning of the book, Harry is whining and doing nothing to improve his situation. He is complaining about not hearing from his friends, complaining about the Dursleys, complaining about no magic, complaining about no quidditch. Instead of cross training for quidditch, he just complains. If I wanted to hear complaints, I wouldn鈥檛 need to pick up a book. Also, I feel that some of the extraordinariness was missing from the second book. One of the scenes that I loved in the first book was when Harry was receiving all his letters to attend Hogwarts, but this book didn鈥檛 have that. There was some animal cruelty in this book involving a firecracker, and I thought that Harry was incredibly impatient with Colin Creevey, the little boy who was asking questions. Harry, wasn鈥檛 that you just last year?
There were some portions of the book that I did enjoy, and I am grateful that the author didn鈥檛 force us into another Hogwarts Express ride and another sorting ceremony. My favorite character (although a bit overused) was Professor Gilderoy Lockheart. I was laughing so much when I saw this note, 鈥淭o Miss Granger, wishing you a speedy recovery, from your concerned teacher, Professor Gilderoy Lockheart, Order of Merlin, Third Class, Honorary Member of the Dark Force Defense League, and five-time winner of Witch Weekly Most-Charming-Smile Award.鈥� His various titles took up most of the note! It reminds of people who have PhD鈥檚 who try to get you to call them Doctor. Big eyeroll. Yeah. I鈥檒l get right on that. I also loved when Gilderoy said thanks for the 46 Valentine鈥檚 Day cards, very similar to when people send themselves flowers for Valentine鈥檚 (Remember Clueless?).
The author also overly relied on fan favorites, heavily leveraging Hogwarts and the former cast of characters. I am more impressed with some other fantasy writers when they developed an entirely new set of characters and wove them into the storyline. This is a test for greatness from authors. Can they write a subsequent book without leaning so heavily on the fan favorites? In my opinion, JK Rowling didn鈥檛 meet that challenge.
Overall, it is a decent fantasy book with a system that isn鈥檛 too hard to understand. It isn鈥檛 embarrassing, but it isn鈥檛 great.

This was a cute middle grade book. Even though it was slow, I liked it a little more than the first book since at this point the world has already been established and now we get to see more of the characters and the setting. Ron and his family, especially the twins, are endearing. I also thought it was interesting seeing Harry鈥檚 internal struggle with whether he was truly Gryffindor or Slytherin, and the payoff later on about how it is our choices that show what we truly are. I didn鈥檛 like how the mystery was conveniently solved, the monologue of explanation from the villain at the end, and how Hermione was literally petrified throughout most of the book just so that she wouldn鈥檛 have figured everything out right away. But I鈥檓 glad to finally be done with this book so that, just like Dobby, I am free.

"My late lamented lords, ladies, and gentlemen,"
"The best of us must sometimes eat our words,"
Every time you loved the first book of a series, and then start reading the second - eagerly waiting for the story to continue - there's always the apprehension, that things might not be as great as the first. Well, Chamber of Secrets will convince you otherwise: everything keeps getting better.
"Have you ever heard of a plan where so many things could go wrong?"
I was glad to find everything I loved about the first book still applicable to the second. It'll be a bit redundant if all those plus points were to be repeated here, but still, I cannot refrain from mentioning how easy it is to read the story. In no way I'm implying that the narration is plain or just too simple - for it is definitely not the case - but it is just one smooth flow. The story itself is much more detailed than the first one, mainly because setting up of environment and characters were done in the original. Though I didn't feel so before, in retrospect, the first book now feels like an introduction to the series, and this as the first real adventure.
"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities."
And again, it's impossible not to start reading the next one immediately.
"Regrowing bones is a nasty business."

Okay, I'm going to do a little *spoilery* in this review so those of you that haven't read the book then you might just want to look at the pictures. I have picked a ton of pictures from the book but believe me, there are plenty more beautiful ones in the book. Plus, if your a Harry Potter fan you will be getting the book anyway if you haven't already!
So poor Harry is stuck back with the Dursley's on Privet Drive. And even though Harry is a relative, they still treat him like poo because he's magical. Ewwwwww.
Harry is depressed because he has be cut off from talking to his friends or getting any kind of correspondence. Even poor Hedwig has been locked in her cage and hasn't been able to fly around. CRUEL! But Harry can't use magic inside the muggle world.
Then Harry meets Doby - the little house-elf that is waiting for him in his room.
It turns out that Doby has been intercepting his correspondence because he fears for Harry's life and doesn't want him to return to Hogwarts. So Doby causes some problems at the house that get Harry in trouble. I had to add this cute little picture of Doby running off, look at his little butt. lol 鈫�
Then one night, Ron, George and Fred pull up outside Harry's window in their dads flying car to save Harry. It's pretty funny how they get it all going but that is okay as long as Harry gets away from his evil relatives.
Of course, Mrs. Weasley is not pleased when they get back home. The sneaking out part didn't work very well, but she welcomed Harry with open arms and he stayed with them until it was time for them all to go back to school.
I love that picture of the Weasley house =)
Life at The Burrow was as different as possible from life in Privet Drive. The Dursleys liked everything neat and ordered; the Weasleys' house burst with the strange and unexpected. Harry got a shock the first time he looked in the mirror over the kitchen mantlepiece and it shouted, 'Tuck your shirt in, scruffy!' The ghoul in the attic howled and dropped pipes whenever he felt things were getting too quiet, and small explosions from Fred and George's bedroom were considered perfectly normal. What Harry found most unusual about life at Ron's, however, wasn't the talking mirror or the clanking ghoul: it was the fact that everybody there seemed to like him
Poor sweet Harry and I would love to live with the Weasleys' for a bit =)
Look at cute, fat little Scabbers 鈫�
The kids are going to meet Hermione to get some shopping done. But ole Harry takes a wrong turn down the chimney hole and ends up in some creepy shop. He hides and gets to hear some things Malfoy and his father are talking about.
Finally Harry makes it out of the store and Hagrid finds him and gets him to the right place with his friends.
Then Ron and Harry are blocked from getting on the train soooooo back to stealing the flying car.
AND of course they get into trouble when they get to Hogwarts but it wasn't anything too bad.
Snape looked as though Christmas had been cancelled. He cleared his throat and said. 'Professor Dumbledore, these boys have flouted the Decree for the Restriction of Underage Wizardry, caused serious damage to an old and valuable tree . . . surely acts of this nature . . .
'It will be for Professor McGonagall to decide on these boys' punishments, Severus,' said Dumbledore calmly. 'They are in her house and are therefore her responsibility.' He turned to Professor McGonagall. 'I must go back to the feast, Minerva, I've got to give out a few notices. Come, Severus, there's a delicious-looking custard tart I want to sample.'
There is a new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor named Gideroy Lockhart. He's a bit off but still . . .
Anyway things are not right at Hogwarts. (are they ever?) And Harry and the gang must figure out what's going on.
Poor ole Hagrid gets sent off to Azkaban for something he didn't do!
Malfoy is a jerk, as if we didn't know that. lol
Harry and Ron go out in the woods to meet Aragog the spider that is friends of Hagrid to find out some truth behind some stuff.
Comes to find out there is this diary of a person named Tom Riddle. I'm not telling you who this person really is but they are the one causing all kinds of trouble for a lot of people.
In the end Harry has to end up fighting a Basilisk to set things right. He has the help of the sorting hat for reasons, Dumbledore's Phoenix and a sword. Oh happy day!
There is loads more to the book then the things I have described but you can just read it and if you haven't, why haven't you? Harry Potter rocks and always will.
There is another happy ending for sweet Doby! 鈾�
Harry gives Dobby his stinky sock so this releases Doby. He now has his freedom from the evil Lucius Malfoy! Woot!
'Come, Dobby, I said, Come!'
But Dobby didn't move. He was holding up Harry's disgusting, slimy sock, and looking at it as though it were a priceless treasure.
'Master has given Dobby a sock,' said the elf in wonderment. 'Master gave it to Dobby.'
'What's that?' spat Mr. Malfoy. 'What did you say?'
'Dobby has got a sock,' said Dobby in disbelief. 'Master threw it, and Dobby caught it, and Dobby-Dobby is free.'
Lucius Malfoy stood frozen, staring at the elf. Then he lunged for Harry.
'You've lost me my servant, boy!'
But Dobby shouted, 'You shall not harm Harry Potter!'
There was a loud bang, and Mr. Malfoy was thrown backwards. He crashed down the stairs, three at a time, landing in a crumbled heap on the landing below. He got up, his face livid, and pulled out his wand, but Dobby raised a long threatening finger.
'You shall go now,' he said fiercely, pointing down at Mr. Malfoy. 'You shall not touch Harry Potter. You shall go now.'
Lucius Malfoy had no choice. With a last, incensed stare at the pair of them, he swung his cloak around him ad hurried out of sight.
This book is wonderful, it always has been and always will, and the graphics in this book make it even better. 鈾�

So poor Harry is stuck back with the Dursley's on Privet Drive. And even though Harry is a relative, they still treat him like poo because he's magical. Ewwwwww.
Harry is depressed because he has be cut off from talking to his friends or getting any kind of correspondence. Even poor Hedwig has been locked in her cage and hasn't been able to fly around. CRUEL! But Harry can't use magic inside the muggle world.
Then Harry meets Doby - the little house-elf that is waiting for him in his room.
It turns out that Doby has been intercepting his correspondence because he fears for Harry's life and doesn't want him to return to Hogwarts. So Doby causes some problems at the house that get Harry in trouble. I had to add this cute little picture of Doby running off, look at his little butt. lol 鈫�
Then one night, Ron, George and Fred pull up outside Harry's window in their dads flying car to save Harry. It's pretty funny how they get it all going but that is okay as long as Harry gets away from his evil relatives.
Of course, Mrs. Weasley is not pleased when they get back home. The sneaking out part didn't work very well, but she welcomed Harry with open arms and he stayed with them until it was time for them all to go back to school.
I love that picture of the Weasley house =)
Life at The Burrow was as different as possible from life in Privet Drive. The Dursleys liked everything neat and ordered; the Weasleys' house burst with the strange and unexpected. Harry got a shock the first time he looked in the mirror over the kitchen mantlepiece and it shouted, 'Tuck your shirt in, scruffy!' The ghoul in the attic howled and dropped pipes whenever he felt things were getting too quiet, and small explosions from Fred and George's bedroom were considered perfectly normal. What Harry found most unusual about life at Ron's, however, wasn't the talking mirror or the clanking ghoul: it was the fact that everybody there seemed to like him
Poor sweet Harry and I would love to live with the Weasleys' for a bit =)
Look at cute, fat little Scabbers 鈫�
The kids are going to meet Hermione to get some shopping done. But ole Harry takes a wrong turn down the chimney hole and ends up in some creepy shop. He hides and gets to hear some things Malfoy and his father are talking about.
Finally Harry makes it out of the store and Hagrid finds him and gets him to the right place with his friends.
Then Ron and Harry are blocked from getting on the train soooooo back to stealing the flying car.
AND of course they get into trouble when they get to Hogwarts but it wasn't anything too bad.
Snape looked as though Christmas had been cancelled. He cleared his throat and said. 'Professor Dumbledore, these boys have flouted the Decree for the Restriction of Underage Wizardry, caused serious damage to an old and valuable tree . . . surely acts of this nature . . .
'It will be for Professor McGonagall to decide on these boys' punishments, Severus,' said Dumbledore calmly. 'They are in her house and are therefore her responsibility.' He turned to Professor McGonagall. 'I must go back to the feast, Minerva, I've got to give out a few notices. Come, Severus, there's a delicious-looking custard tart I want to sample.'
There is a new Defence Against the Dark Arts professor named Gideroy Lockhart. He's a bit off but still . . .
Anyway things are not right at Hogwarts. (are they ever?) And Harry and the gang must figure out what's going on.
Poor ole Hagrid gets sent off to Azkaban for something he didn't do!
Malfoy is a jerk, as if we didn't know that. lol
Harry and Ron go out in the woods to meet Aragog the spider that is friends of Hagrid to find out some truth behind some stuff.
Comes to find out there is this diary of a person named Tom Riddle. I'm not telling you who this person really is but they are the one causing all kinds of trouble for a lot of people.
In the end Harry has to end up fighting a Basilisk to set things right. He has the help of the sorting hat for reasons, Dumbledore's Phoenix and a sword. Oh happy day!
There is loads more to the book then the things I have described but you can just read it and if you haven't, why haven't you? Harry Potter rocks and always will.
There is another happy ending for sweet Doby! 鈾�
Harry gives Dobby his stinky sock so this releases Doby. He now has his freedom from the evil Lucius Malfoy! Woot!
'Come, Dobby, I said, Come!'
But Dobby didn't move. He was holding up Harry's disgusting, slimy sock, and looking at it as though it were a priceless treasure.
'Master has given Dobby a sock,' said the elf in wonderment. 'Master gave it to Dobby.'
'What's that?' spat Mr. Malfoy. 'What did you say?'
'Dobby has got a sock,' said Dobby in disbelief. 'Master threw it, and Dobby caught it, and Dobby-Dobby is free.'
Lucius Malfoy stood frozen, staring at the elf. Then he lunged for Harry.
'You've lost me my servant, boy!'
But Dobby shouted, 'You shall not harm Harry Potter!'
There was a loud bang, and Mr. Malfoy was thrown backwards. He crashed down the stairs, three at a time, landing in a crumbled heap on the landing below. He got up, his face livid, and pulled out his wand, but Dobby raised a long threatening finger.
'You shall go now,' he said fiercely, pointing down at Mr. Malfoy. 'You shall not touch Harry Potter. You shall go now.'
Lucius Malfoy had no choice. With a last, incensed stare at the pair of them, he swung his cloak around him ad hurried out of sight.
This book is wonderful, it always has been and always will, and the graphics in this book make it even better. 鈾�

鈥滻t is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.鈥�
And here I go with another one of my short 鈥淢y thoughts about this book鈥� reviews. I can鈥檛 believe that I forgot so many things. Like for instance the fact that Dumbledore actually was a Transfiguration teacher before he became headmaster. Kinda suitable that this is McGonagall鈥檚 role now. ;-)
1.) 鈥滺arry Potter asks if he can help Dobby 鈥� Dobby has heard of your greatness, sir, but of your goodness, Dobby never knew鈥︹€�
Aww Dobby! It was so good to see him again! He鈥檚 really one of the best HP characters ever and this even though he made it kind of tough to like him. *lol* Well, at least at the beginning. Poor Harry! XD
2.) 鈥漎our sons flew that car to Harry鈥檚 house and back last night!鈥� shouted Mrs Weasley. 鈥淲hat have you got to say about that, eh?鈥�
鈥淒id you really?鈥� said Mr Weasley eagerly. 鈥淒id it go all right? I-I mean,鈥� he faltered, as sparks flew from Mrs Weasley鈥檚 eyes, 鈥渢hat-that was very wrong, boys 鈥� very wrong indeed 鈥︹€�
I鈥檒l always love how Mr Weasley is more interested in finding out if the car flew well than in his kids actually flying the car! *lol* Also Molly Weasley giving him hell for not reacting the way a responsible parent is supposed to is just epic! Haha! Those two. You can see they have a great marriage! ;-P
3.) 鈥滿r Weasley had a cut lip and Mr Malfoy had been hit in the eye by an Encyclopedia of Toadstools.鈥�
How could I forget that Mr Weasley threw himself at Malfoy? One of the best things in this book ever! Not that I support violence (I鈥檓 a pacifist) but even I can鈥檛 help appreciating that Lucius Malfoy for once, actually had his ass handed to him. XD
4.) 鈥漈hat vanishing cabinet was extremely valuable!鈥� he was saying gleefully to Mrs Norris. 鈥淲e鈥檒l have Peeves out this time, my sweet.鈥�
How come I never noticed this before?! The foreboding!!! OMG! Like damn, there are so many things that are mentioned only briefly and rather casually and then when you continue to read the series they reappear with a vengeance! O_o With every book I read I鈥檓 more and more awed by J.K Rowling鈥檚 genius!
5.) 鈥滺omework: compose a poem about my defeat of the Wagga Wagga werewolf! Signed copies of Magical Me to the author of the best one!鈥�
Gilderoy Lockhart is so full of himself! I swear he must have been the worst DADA teacher they ever had. And they had many over the years which even Dumbledore can鈥檛 deny. Loved that bit at the ending when he said he鈥檇 have to write an ad because they 鈥渟eem to run through them鈥�. *lol*
6.) 鈥漎ou are Muggle-born?鈥�
鈥淗alf-blood, sir,鈥� said Riddle. 鈥淢uggle father, witch mother.鈥�
There definitely was a history lesson hidden in there. It鈥檚 fascinating how Riddle of all people could be a half-blood and then go against Muggle born wizards! I鈥檓 sure J.K. Rowling thought about World War II when she wrote this, because all the pure-blood and half-blood etc. stuff reminds me of a very dark chapter in German history鈥� >_<
7.) 鈥滲ut why鈥檚 she got to go to the library?鈥�
鈥淏ecause that鈥檚 what Hermione does,鈥� said Ron, shrugging. 鈥淲hen in doubt, go to the library.鈥�
Did anyone notice how well Ron knows Hermione? And how often he defended her in this book? I mean he actually would have fought Malfoy with his bare hands if Harry and Dean would have allowed it! It鈥檚 so obvious that Ron cares about her deeply! To vomit snails without complaining about it should count as the ultimate indication of eternal love and affection! *LOL*
8.) 鈥漁f course,鈥� she said, and Harry, amazed, saw a tear glistening in her beady eye.
McGonagall losing it was another great moment in this book! When you least expect it she always shows some kindness and heart and to be honest this never ceases to amaze me! XD She鈥檚 a great teacher and I鈥檓 not surprised that she always takes over when Dumbledore isn鈥檛 around.
9.) 鈥漎ou鈥檙e in luck,鈥� said Harry, forcing Lockhart to his feet at wandpoint. 鈥淲e think we know where it is. And what鈥檚 inside it. Let鈥檚 go.鈥�
I just love Harry, okay?! *lol* For such a young kid he certainly has a lot of guts and courage! The way he dealt with Lockhart? I think not even an adult wizard could have done it any better. XD The sheer audacity to demand aid from him like that. YES! Haha! <3
10.)
I can鈥檛 wait to read 鈥淭he Prisoner of Azkaban鈥�! I鈥檓 afraid it might have to wait until next year though! So many books, so little time! ;-)
______________________________
As always I loved this! <3
And boy there were so many hints! The foreboding is real in this one! *lol*
Also I kinda like that every book ends with the school year and that there鈥檚 no cliff-hanger! I never thought about this but HP is so successful and this even though there are never cliff-hangers. XD (Well, at least not in the strict sense...)
Must be magic! ;-P
______________________________
I鈥檓 already reading 6 books,
BUT
this is Harry Potter
and it鈥檚 autumn
close to Halloween
and I just need another comfort read? *lol*
Plus 2 of my six books will be finished soon so this means that I鈥檒l be down to 5 again which is my usual amount. XD
Look at me being all reasonable and responsible. Haha! ;-P
But honestly, do I even need a reason to read Harry Potter?
No, HP can be read anytime! =))

ENGLISH () / ITALIANO
Bedtime reading for my daughter (and second reading for me). It is once again exciting to wander across the Hogwarts halls, observing the mysterious facts that involve the protagonists, just like we were there too. This is Rowling's rare gift: making sure that we see through the eyes of Harry, Ron and Hermione.
The summer holidays have passed, and the new school year is about to start at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry's power is still immature, but Dumbledore's teaching is adamant:
芦It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities禄This time, our young wizards are struggling with the new professor of defense against the dark arts, the dork and vein Gilderoy Lockhart, called to replace Professor Quirrell (died in the previous adventure). However, the joyful atmosphere is soon ruined: strange events begin to happen...
Far be it from me to spoiler something of this mystery-fantasy. gives us another masterpiece to live, rather than to read. Actually, I do not know if my daughter was more pleased than me to hear this novel, or if I was happier than her to read it and literally interpret it (I even modulated the voices of the different characters). Any excuse to read Harry Potter.
Vote: 9
Lettura serale per mia figlia (e seconda rilettura per me). E' ancora una volta emozionante vagare per le sale di Hogwarts e osservare i fatti misteriosi che coinvolgono i protagonisti, proprio come se fossimo l矛 anche noi. Questo 猫 il raro dono della Rowling. Fare in modo che vediamo con gli occhi di Harry, Ron ed Hermione.
Trascorse le vacanze estive, alla scuola di magia e stregoneria di Hogwarts sta per iniziare il nuovo anno. Il potere di Harry 猫 ancora immaturo, ma l'insegnamento di Silente 猫 categorico:
芦Sono le scelte che facciamo, Harry, che dimostrano quel che siamo veramente, molto pi霉 delle nostre capacit脿禄Stavolta, i nostri giovani maghi sono alle prese con il nuovo insegnante di difesa dalle arti oscure, il Professor Gilderoy Lockhart, tanto imbranato quanto vanitoso, chiamato a sostituire il Professor Quirrell, deceduto nella precedente avventura. L'atmosfera gioiosa 猫 presto rovinata, per貌: strani eventi cominciano ad accadere, associati ad una certa camera dei segreti...
Lungi da me spoilerare qualcosa di questo fantasy del mistero. ci regala un'altro capolavoro da vivere, pi霉 che da leggere. A conti fatti, non so se sia stata pi霉 contenta mia figlia di sentirselo raccontare, o se sia stato pi霉 contento io di leggerlo e letteralmente interpretarlo (ho perfino modulato le voci dei diversi personaggi). La scusa 猫 buona, in ogni caso.

I sat down to "read a few pages" of this before bed two nights ago and had to force myself to stop at page 100...then picked it up and flew through the rest the next day.
I really enjoyed this one (as did millions of others, obviously) and, with this installment, I am definitely seeing why this is such a beloved series. The magical wizarding world of Harry, his friends, and the folks at Hogwart's is just FUN to read about.
I am in LOVE with Fawkes the phoenix and I adore Dumbledore...And now I am so worried something bad is going to happen to one of them over the course of the remaining books.
And, yes, I know it's probably made you gasp in shock that - in addition to never having read the books before now - I have also never seen any of the movies...and I truly have no idea what happens throughout the remainder of the series.
I guess it IS possible to blissfully ignore spoilers for over two decades...unless we are talking about Game of Thrones. Good luck making it a fucking day with all the assholes posting every single scene on Twitter.
Not that I'm on Twitter...
But I digress.
So yeah, firstly, loved this book and looking forward to the next one.
And secondly, now more of the art on the HP mug I got from OwlCrate a few months ago makes more sense and I totally love it more now, so there's that.
Winning all around.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, is a fantasy novel written by British author J.K. Rowling, and the second novel in the Harry Potter series.
The plot follows Harry's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, during which a series of messages on the walls of the school's corridors warn that the "Chamber of Secrets" has been opened and that the "heir of Slytherin" would kill all pupils who do not come from all-magical families.
These threats are found after attacks which leave residents of the school "petrified" (frozen like stone). Throughout the year, Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione investigate the attacks.
The book was published in the United Kingdom on 2 July 1998 by Bloomsbury and later, in the United States on 2 June 1999 by Scholastic Inc.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, is a fantasy novel written by British author J.K. Rowling, and the second novel in the Harry Potter series.
The plot follows Harry's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, during which a series of messages on the walls of the school's corridors warn that the "Chamber of Secrets" has been opened and that the "heir of Slytherin" would kill all pupils who do not come from all-magical families.
These threats are found after attacks which leave residents of the school "petrified" (frozen like stone). Throughout the year, Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione investigate the attacks.
The book was published in the United Kingdom on 2 July 1998 by Bloomsbury and later, in the United States on 2 June 1999 by Scholastic Inc.

Welcome to my re-read of the magical series 鈥淗arry Potter鈥�. 馃鈿★笍My journey this time around is a hybrid of reading the books, listening to a fun (adult) podcast and watching the movies. 鉂わ笍馃摎馃帶馃幀

Personal Opinion Note: I鈥檓 terribly sad for you, if you鈥檝e never read the books (or at least watched the movies). 馃槈馃摎馃帶馃幀
I鈥檒l be updating this review as I progress through the series, so, be prepared for a long review. 馃
馃摎Chapter 1: The Worst Birthdays
The Dursley鈥檚 have not changed. They鈥檙e still terrible muggles. Harry has not heard from anyone all summer. Uncle Vernon鈥檚 boss is coming to dinner and Harry鈥檚 been told to stay upstairs and not make a sound.
馃摎Chapter 2: Dobby鈥檚 Warning
Dobby the house elf really makes a bad first impression. Dobby had been taking all of Harry鈥檚 letters all summer, in hopes that Harry wouldn鈥檛 want to go back to school. Dobby does a spell and Harry gets the blame, soon after a letter arrives from the ministry of magic giving Harry a warning. Uncle Vernon puts bars on his window and says he can鈥檛 go back to Hogwarts.
馃摎Chapter 3: The Burrow
The Weasley鈥檚 really are the best! Them showing up in a flying car to rescue Harry is the best scene ever. Harry tells them about Dobby. Fred and George tell him house elves usually belong to rich wizard families. Harry believes Malfoy sent him. Ron is embarrassed by his home, but Harry thinks it鈥檚 brilliant.
馃摎Chapter 4: At Flourish and Blotts
I love that Hagrid breaks up a fight between two grown wizards! Harry and the Weasley鈥檚 head to Diagon Alley to gather school supplies. Gilderoy Lockhart is signing books and announces that he鈥檒l be the new defense against the dark arts teacher. Mr. Weasley gets into a rumble with Mr. Malfoy.
馃摎Chapter 5: The Whomping Willow
That鈥檚 one mean tree!! Harry and Ron are unable to get through platform 9 3/4. So, they fly the car, along the train, to Hogwarts. But the crash the car into a very old and angry tree when they arrive. Ron breaks his wand.
馃帶Podcast: Binge Mode: Chapters 1-5
***Warning: podcast has adult content***
Ummm鈥� did you read that warning? If you鈥檙e easily offended by things like: swears, wanking jokes, milf鈥檚, etc. etc. do not listen to this podcast. To all my fellow heathens out there, this is not only entertaining- but also very spot on!
馃摎Chapter 6: Gilderoy Lockhart
Oooooo鈥�. Weasley got a Howler!! Needless to say, Mrs. Weasley was none-to-pleased with the car disappearing from the station. Lockhart takes his moment to brag more, but only proves he has no idea what he鈥檚 doing. Ron鈥檚 wand is malfunctioning. Harry鈥檚 got a fan in a first year named Colin.
馃摎Chapter 7: Mudbloods and Murmurs
Poor Ron can鈥檛 catch a break with that wand. He tried to curse Malfoy for calling Hermione 鈥渕udblood鈥� and it backfired, resulting in him puking slugs. Speaking of Malfoy, his father bought his way onto the Slytherin Quidditch team. Harry hears a chilling voice.
馃摎Chapter 8: The Deathday Party
Harry is nice to everyone, even ghosts. Nearly Headless Nick invites Harry to his deathday party. He foregoes the Halloween feast, to attend. Rotten food, cold room, screeching music鈥� not exactly a warm blooded good time. While leaving the party, Harry heard the voice again. This time he follows it to find a message scrolled on a wall, about the chamber of secrets.
馃摎Chapter 9: The Writing on the Wall
Filch鈥檚 cat got frozen, aka petrified. Professor Binn鈥檚 explains the history of the chamber of secrets, which supposedly contains a Slytherin monster that would wipe out all non-pure-blood wizards. The trio speculate that Malfoy may be the heir of Slytherin.
馃摎Chapter 10: The Rogue Bludger
Freaking Lockhart鈥� such a dumb dumb!! First Quidditch game against Slytherin and a bludger is targeting Harry. He end up with a broken arm, which Lockhart tries to fish, resulting in the removal of Harry鈥檚 bones. As he sits in the hospital, Harry overhears the Colin was petrified as well.
馃帶Podcast: Binge Mode: Chapters 6-10
***Warning: podcast has adult content***
I love the why? why? why? We all think it and none of us know. It鈥檚 all very intriguing! Like Tom鈥檚 trophy still being displayed at Hogwarts鈥� why?? Given who he is and what he鈥檚 done, you鈥檇 think that thing would be hidden or destroyed.
馃摎Chapter 11: The Dueling Club
Polyjuice Potion in Moaning Myrtle鈥檚 bathroom. Hermione鈥檚 working on the potion. The whole school has heard about Colin. Lockhart starts dueling club, to keep everyone safe. Harry and Malfoy are matched up. Malfoy congers a snake and Harry speaks parseltongue in front of everyone. Another student and ghost are petrified.
馃摎Chapter 12: The Polyjuice Potion
Harry鈥檚 called to Dumbledore鈥檚 office, where he meets Fawkes the pheonix. The trio takes the polyjuice potion, Harry/Ron become Crabbe/Goyle, pointlessly, as they discovered nothing. Hermione became a cat.
馃摎Chapter 13: The Very Secret Diary
Harry and Ron find a diary with TM Riddle on it. Ron remembers the name from a trophy. Harry discovers the diary writes back and allows him inside memories. He sees why Hagrid was expelled.
馃摎Chapter 14: Cornelius Fudge
Harry鈥檚 room was broken into and the diary stolen. Quidditch is cancelled and everyone is told the school is on lockdown. The Minister of Magic shows up to take Hagrid to Azkaban (wizard jail) and calls for Dumbledore to step down as head master.
馃帶Podcast: Binge Mode: Chapters 11-14
***Warning: podcast has adult content***
It鈥檚 really funny how they point out things, like Ginny being upset, so Fred and George scare her鈥� Dumbledore asking Harry point blank if he has anything to tell him and he chooses not to. Truth. Hurts.
馃摎Chapter 15: Aragog
Per Hagrid鈥檚 request, Harry and Ron follow spiders into the forest. They find Hagrid鈥檚 friend spider, Aragog, who is the size of a horse. The spider tells his family to eat them, but the old flying car rescued them in time.
馃摎Chapter 16: The Chamber of Secrets
Ginny is still acting strange. The boys visit petrified Hermione, to find a note in her frozen hand, which identifies the monster as a type of snake. They run to tell, but overhear that Ginny was taken. They go into the pipes to find her.
馃摎Chapter 17: The Heir of Slytherin
Harry find Ginny in the chamber, with a ghostly Tom Riddle nearby. Tom shares about Ginny and his diary and his identity鈥� Voldemort. Dumbledore鈥檚 bird Fawkes appears, carrying the sorting hat. Harry uses a sword from the hat, to kill the snake, gets bit, uses the snake fang to destroy the diary, causing Tom to disappear.
馃摎Chapter 18: Dobby鈥檚 Reward
Harry talks to Dumbledore about Voldemort. Mr. Malfoy shows up with Dobby on his heals. Harry confronts him about slipping Riddles diary to Ginny. He slips a sock into it and chucks it to Mr. Malfoy. He unknowingly freed Dobby. Lockhart and his wiped memory are no longer an issue. All the petrified get woken up. Gryffindor wins the house cup.
馃帶Podcast: Binge Mode: Chapters 15-18
***Warning: podcast has adult content***
They covered so much- but these last chapters covered a ton too! Main points: Why doesn鈥檛 Harry replace Ron鈥檚 wand for him? He has the money! But treats from the cart will have to do鈥� lol鈥�. Why does the school take so long to wake the petrified? Like those are the only Mandrakes in the world鈥�. Dumbledore assures Harry he鈥檚 a true Gryffindor, because of his CHOICE to be in Gryffindor.
馃幀Movie #2
I wish they had depicted the fist fight between Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Weasley in the movie. But alas, it was left out. But there was a lot still there, that I loved seeing come to life. Travel by floo powder鈥�. the Mandrakes鈥�. Harry going into the diary. I also love how Ron鈥檚 voice cracks all the time. It鈥檚 really great.
馃帶Podcast: Binge Mode: Movie
***Warning: podcast has adult content***
Hedwig!! Poor Hedwig. She does need a bigger cage and boy, oh boy, she had a rough time. Sadly the movie does skip quite a bit. Our choices define us, not our blood- what a great message overall. Hogwarts!! The safest place in the world, lol, where Voldemort has attacked Harry, twice now. I love that they manage to sum up all the thoughts with humor.
Checking Chamber of Secrets off my list. Thanks for following along on my journey. Now鈥� onto book 3! 鉂わ笍馃摎

Poor Ron can鈥檛 catch a break with that wand. He tried to curse Malfoy for calling Hermione 鈥渕udblood鈥� and it backfired, resulting in him puking slugs. Speaking of Malfoy, his father bought his way onto the Slytherin Quidditch team. Harry hears a chilling voice.
馃摎Chapter 8: The Deathday Party
Harry is nice to everyone, even ghosts. Nearly Headless Nick invites Harry to his deathday party. He foregoes the Halloween feast, to attend. Rotten food, cold room, screeching music鈥� not exactly a warm blooded good time. While leaving the party, Harry heard the voice again. This time he follows it to find a message scrolled on a wall, about the chamber of secrets.
馃摎Chapter 9: The Writing on the Wall
Filch鈥檚 cat got frozen, aka petrified. Professor Binn鈥檚 explains the history of the chamber of secrets, which supposedly contains a Slytherin monster that would wipe out all non-pure-blood wizards. The trio speculate that Malfoy may be the heir of Slytherin.

***Warning: podcast has adult content***
I love the why? why? why? We all think it and none of us know. It鈥檚 all very intriguing! Like Tom鈥檚 trophy still being displayed at Hogwarts鈥� why?? Given who he is and what he鈥檚 done, you鈥檇 think that thing would be hidden or destroyed.
馃摎Chapter 11: The Dueling Club
Polyjuice Potion in Moaning Myrtle鈥檚 bathroom. Hermione鈥檚 working on the potion. The whole school has heard about Colin. Lockhart starts dueling club, to keep everyone safe. Harry and Malfoy are matched up. Malfoy congers a snake and Harry speaks parseltongue in front of everyone. Another student and ghost are petrified.
馃摎Chapter 12: The Polyjuice Potion
Harry鈥檚 called to Dumbledore鈥檚 office, where he meets Fawkes the pheonix. The trio takes the polyjuice potion, Harry/Ron become Crabbe/Goyle, pointlessly, as they discovered nothing. Hermione became a cat.
馃摎Chapter 13: The Very Secret Diary
Harry and Ron find a diary with TM Riddle on it. Ron remembers the name from a trophy. Harry discovers the diary writes back and allows him inside memories. He sees why Hagrid was expelled.
馃摎Chapter 14: Cornelius Fudge
Harry鈥檚 room was broken into and the diary stolen. Quidditch is cancelled and everyone is told the school is on lockdown. The Minister of Magic shows up to take Hagrid to Azkaban (wizard jail) and calls for Dumbledore to step down as head master.

***Warning: podcast has adult content***
It鈥檚 really funny how they point out things, like Ginny being upset, so Fred and George scare her鈥� Dumbledore asking Harry point blank if he has anything to tell him and he chooses not to. Truth. Hurts.
馃摎Chapter 15: Aragog
Per Hagrid鈥檚 request, Harry and Ron follow spiders into the forest. They find Hagrid鈥檚 friend spider, Aragog, who is the size of a horse. The spider tells his family to eat them, but the old flying car rescued them in time.
馃摎Chapter 16: The Chamber of Secrets
Ginny is still acting strange. The boys visit petrified Hermione, to find a note in her frozen hand, which identifies the monster as a type of snake. They run to tell, but overhear that Ginny was taken. They go into the pipes to find her.
馃摎Chapter 17: The Heir of Slytherin
Harry find Ginny in the chamber, with a ghostly Tom Riddle nearby. Tom shares about Ginny and his diary and his identity鈥� Voldemort. Dumbledore鈥檚 bird Fawkes appears, carrying the sorting hat. Harry uses a sword from the hat, to kill the snake, gets bit, uses the snake fang to destroy the diary, causing Tom to disappear.
馃摎Chapter 18: Dobby鈥檚 Reward
Harry talks to Dumbledore about Voldemort. Mr. Malfoy shows up with Dobby on his heals. Harry confronts him about slipping Riddles diary to Ginny. He slips a sock into it and chucks it to Mr. Malfoy. He unknowingly freed Dobby. Lockhart and his wiped memory are no longer an issue. All the petrified get woken up. Gryffindor wins the house cup.

They covered so much- but these last chapters covered a ton too! Main points: Why doesn鈥檛 Harry replace Ron鈥檚 wand for him? He has the money! But treats from the cart will have to do鈥� lol鈥�. Why does the school take so long to wake the petrified? Like those are the only Mandrakes in the world鈥�. Dumbledore assures Harry he鈥檚 a true Gryffindor, because of his CHOICE to be in Gryffindor.
馃幀Movie #2
I wish they had depicted the fist fight between Mr. Malfoy and Mr. Weasley in the movie. But alas, it was left out. But there was a lot still there, that I loved seeing come to life. Travel by floo powder鈥�. the Mandrakes鈥�. Harry going into the diary. I also love how Ron鈥檚 voice cracks all the time. It鈥檚 really great.
馃帶Podcast: Binge Mode: Movie
***Warning: podcast has adult content***
Hedwig!! Poor Hedwig. She does need a bigger cage and boy, oh boy, she had a rough time. Sadly the movie does skip quite a bit. Our choices define us, not our blood- what a great message overall. Hogwarts!! The safest place in the world, lol, where Voldemort has attacked Harry, twice now. I love that they manage to sum up all the thoughts with humor.
Checking Chamber of Secrets off my list. Thanks for following along on my journey. Now鈥� onto book 3! 鉂わ笍馃摎

Overall, I loved this, and I can't wait to start today.
Quick thoughts on the things that stood out to me:
Wow, the Dursleys were even more loathsome in this book than the first.
I love the Weasleys even more than I already did.
I am so glad my mother never sent me a Howler.
I thought Dobby was annoying in the movie (which I saw when it came out over a decade ago, not having read the book) but I thought he was awesome in the book. In fact, we rewatched the movie last night, and not only was it as unsatisfying as I remember it, it's just a shit adaptation of this book.
I thought it was delightful that .
Tom Riddle's diary was really, really awesome. The entire idea and execution were fantastic.
I loved it when Dumbledore told Harry, "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." I hope that, as the series goes on, we have more scenes with him, because I really love his wisdom.
My minor complaints seem a little nitpicky, and I suppose that if I'm going to suspend disbelief to accept that wizards are real, I should be able to accept that and , but I'm an adult and if I'd read this as a kid I wouldn't have cared for a single moment.

i kind of shot myself in the foot by taking 16 days to read this because I was in a littleeee bit of a slump, but overall it鈥檚 just enjoyable and fun. there鈥檚 no obvious faults or things that I had an issue with (except for my inability to follow the story but that might be a ME issue). reading this as an adult holds up 100%, and the reveals and plot twists are so good. the world is just so rich it鈥檚 a perfect fantasy series to get lost in. i don鈥檛 think i can quite give it 5 stars because i didn鈥檛 get that *5 star feeling* where it leaves such an imprint on you, but nevertheless i will be reading the next one 馃ぉ

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Harry Potter #2), J.K. Rowling
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets begins when Harry is spending a miserable summer with his only remaining family, the Dursleys. During a dinner party hosted by his uncle and aunt, Harry is visited by Dobby, a house-elf.
Dobby warns Harry not to return to Hogwarts, the magical school for wizards that Harry attended the previous year. Harry politely disregards the warning, and Dobby wreaks havoc in the kitchen, infuriating the Dursleys.
The Dursleys angrily imprison Harry in his room for the rest of the summer. Luckily, Harry's friend Ron Weasley steals Harry away in a flying car, and Harry happily spends the rest of the summer at the Weasley home. ...
Quidditch practices begin and Draco Malfoy is the new Slytherin seeker. On the field, he calls Hermione a "mudblood," insulting her Muggle heritage.
After taunting Hermione, Draco is the suspect when, on Halloween night, someone petrifies the school caretaker's cat and writes a threatening message. Before the cat is attacked, Harry twice hears an eerie voice.
He hears it first during his detention and second during a party, moments before the cat is attacked. Everybody in the school is alarmed.
By doing some research, Harry, Ron, and Hermione learn that fifty years ago a chamber at Hogwarts was opened and a student was killed. ...

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets begins when Harry is spending a miserable summer with his only remaining family, the Dursleys. During a dinner party hosted by his uncle and aunt, Harry is visited by Dobby, a house-elf.
Dobby warns Harry not to return to Hogwarts, the magical school for wizards that Harry attended the previous year. Harry politely disregards the warning, and Dobby wreaks havoc in the kitchen, infuriating the Dursleys.
The Dursleys angrily imprison Harry in his room for the rest of the summer. Luckily, Harry's friend Ron Weasley steals Harry away in a flying car, and Harry happily spends the rest of the summer at the Weasley home. ...
Quidditch practices begin and Draco Malfoy is the new Slytherin seeker. On the field, he calls Hermione a "mudblood," insulting her Muggle heritage.
After taunting Hermione, Draco is the suspect when, on Halloween night, someone petrifies the school caretaker's cat and writes a threatening message. Before the cat is attacked, Harry twice hears an eerie voice.
He hears it first during his detention and second during a party, moments before the cat is attacked. Everybody in the school is alarmed.
By doing some research, Harry, Ron, and Hermione learn that fifty years ago a chamber at Hogwarts was opened and a student was killed. ...

5 Golden Stars Complete!
& thousands more
this one is Beyond AMAZING!
Delightful! Mysterious! & Cute!
My favourite book in the middle grade-ish side (1, 2, 3) of HP.
I enjoyed every moment of it, every time. every page has something new.
& I'm always wondering why this beautiful, cute, exciting, mysterious, full of backstories & plot-twist book is so many people's least favourite one in the series,
we have the history of Hogwarts (now, now, not "Hogwarts, a History", people)
we have some other important backstory,
we have Weasleys,
& we have Dobby!
it is the cutest & no one can tell me otherwise.
tbh all of them are magical & wonderful! my heart beats for them. <3
-
Second book, starting with a blow. Can I appreciate the beginning of the book, the first chapter, the title, how it is started, how it summarized the events of the last book & let us swim in this world once again. craving for magic. every HP book started with a Recap of the last book(s), probably the only series I saw to mentioned previous events. very unique & fun. for example:
"... Harry Potter wasn't a normal boy. As a matter of fact, he was as not normal as it is possible to be."
& how suddenly everything goes wrong!
in this book, wizarding world expanded. more into this world. how a wizard family actually live; the amazing Weasleys.
we meet new great characters we didn't know in the first book like Mr. Weasley. also more Fred & George & Mrs. Weasley....
full of intriguing Backstories, Mysteries, Histories, Riddles & plot twists!
Mystery & Horror!
many fun moments thanks to Ron. don't forget young Harry being sassy.
how could everyone (characters I mean, idk about the fans, but I know I, myself, couldn't believe that) think of Harry like that!? tho I always enjoy to see my favourite characters under pressure, gives me the excitement. guilty pleasure.
& I think I'm the only one who likes Lockhart (not much, but still), I mean he was annoying & everything , sure, but hilarious & stupid, he made the scenes funny because of his nonsense megalomaniac & of course Harry & Ron's expression toward him.
oh one more thing, I love Tom too!
brave young Harry, saved the day. I'm proud of him.

this one is Beyond AMAZING!
Delightful! Mysterious! & Cute!
My favourite book in the middle grade-ish side (1, 2, 3) of HP.
I enjoyed every moment of it, every time. every page has something new.
& I'm always wondering why this beautiful, cute, exciting, mysterious, full of backstories & plot-twist book is so many people's least favourite one in the series,
we have the history of Hogwarts (now, now, not "Hogwarts, a History", people)
we have some other important backstory,
we have Weasleys,
& we have Dobby!
it is the cutest & no one can tell me otherwise.
tbh all of them are magical & wonderful! my heart beats for them. <3

Second book, starting with a blow. Can I appreciate the beginning of the book, the first chapter, the title, how it is started, how it summarized the events of the last book & let us swim in this world once again. craving for magic. every HP book started with a Recap of the last book(s), probably the only series I saw to mentioned previous events. very unique & fun. for example:
"... Harry Potter wasn't a normal boy. As a matter of fact, he was as not normal as it is possible to be."
& how suddenly everything goes wrong!
in this book, wizarding world expanded. more into this world. how a wizard family actually live; the amazing Weasleys.
we meet new great characters we didn't know in the first book like Mr. Weasley. also more Fred & George & Mrs. Weasley....
full of intriguing Backstories, Mysteries, Histories, Riddles & plot twists!
Mystery & Horror!
many fun moments thanks to Ron. don't forget young Harry being sassy.

While this is probably one of my least favorites of the series, it's still a fantastic book. I can't say for sure why I don't love it as much as the others, but it's just never stood out to me.
However, upon rereading it, I am reminded again how great Rowling is at developing a story arc! There are so many hints to later parts of the series in this book! Especially with Tom Riddle showing up, the diary, hints of Ron's affection for Hermione, and overall just building up the characters and storyline. It's also really fun to see things of importance show up early in the story come into significance later on.
Here are some thoughts on things I noticed or didn't remember about this book while I was reading it:
-Like in one of the Harry Potter video games, Ron and Harry de-gnome the Burrow's garden at the beginning of the book.
-Hermione's parents actually go to Diagon Alley and exchange Muggle money at Gringott's!
-Why wasn't Nearly Headless Nick's deathday party in the movie? Also he died in 1492 which is when Columbus 'discovered' America. Significant?
-"And some old witch in Bath had a book that you could never stop reading! You just had to wander around with your nose in it, trying to do everything one-handed." (p.231) Sounds familiar.
-I really wish they had the Valentine's Day party in the movie, with all the dwarves walking around dressed as cupids and delivering love messages.
-Aragog is literally my biggest fear.
-Apparently Dumbledore, back in the day, was a Transfiguration professor at Hogwarts.
-And finally, I knew Voldemort was an heir of Slytherin, duh, but I didn't realize he was the last heir of Slytherin. Dun dun duuuun.
5/5 stars because even when it's my least favorite of the seven, it's still perfect.

I don鈥檛 know who鈥檚 worse: Lockhart or Umbridge. 馃槕
Even though it鈥檚 a 5-star read, (because nostalgia trumps logic at times) this is my least favourite in the series.
I prefer the movie adaptation.
Yeah I said it.

Reading HP to ring in the new year may be a new tradition of mine, since I've done just that two years in a row.
I haven't read this book since the first time I read it in 5th grade, but I loved it! I never would have thought before that CoS was one of my favorites from the series but I stand corrected.

Second Read Review
This book was so much fun! And I honestly enjoyed it more than the first time I read it. I didn't know how much I forgot about this book until I reread it, so I probably enjoyed it very much because I mostly forgot many things in this book. So there are also some things that I want to talk about,
Gilderoy Lockhart
He was so annoying and irked me so much. Especially in the scene where he set loose of pixies in Defence Against the Dark Arts class and he couldn't even fix this mess! And told Harry, Ron and Hermione to put them back in the cage and he left them, I was like " what the hell? " he's so unbelievable. But I must admit that he made me laugh like in the Duelling Club, he was disarmed by Snape and that scene was so funny until I laughed out loud.
I disliked him very much for lying about those stories! He's such a liar. Ugh. Oh and he deserved what he got in the end that he lost his memory because Ron's wand backfired at him.
Hermione Granger
I was shocked when I realized that Hermione liked Lockhart. That guy was so annoying. Maybe he was charming BUT he didn't even know any useful spells, like when Harry broke his arm, he conjured a spell and that spell caused Harry to lose his bones in his arm! He just made it worse instead of helping him.
And even though I was shocked, I also laughed when I knew that Hermione put a Get Well card from lockhart under her pillow when she was in the hospital wing hahahahaha. I guess she really liked him. that scene was just so funny. 馃槀馃槀
Well, overall I really enjoyed re-reading this book and I'm going to read the third book now! Bye! 鉂わ笍

REVIEW TO COME ON SATURDAY! ^^
4.8 Stars
" It is our choice, Harry, That show what we truly are, Far more than our abilities "
Okay guys, before I started reviewing this book, I wanted to tell you something.
This saturday, I read this book until 04:30 am and I completely didn't realise that I was reading for 4 hours or so and on that same day I had an economy course with my teacher and I completely forgot about that too until my mom reminded me of it. the course started at 10:00 am o'clock and I woke up at 11:00 am and maybe I'll get into a little bit trouble when I'm coming to school on Monday because of this. But I really couldn't help it! THIS BOOK WAS SO GOOD AND I COULD NOT STOP READING IT!!
okay now let's talking about this book!
My Opinion
omg! this book! I had a lot of feelings! Anger. Sadness. Happiness and many more and the chapter I most loved was The Duelling Club. it was so funny to see Professor Snape disarmed Lockhart until he was flying because of the impact of Professor Snape's spell hahaha. xD
I don't like calling Lockhart a Professor because he clearly didn't know any spells that were usefull for his students or anyone... Maybe just a Memory Charm. but it was only usefull for him to do his nasty business. ugh and he was a liar too. all those books he wrote were all faked.
If Hogwarts were real, I would be really happy to learn all about Defence Against The Dark Arts. this is the most interesting subject that have really caught my interest since I began reading the first book. what about you guys? tell me on the comment section below! ^^
and that Duelling Club was so amazing! learning how to fight with spells!
and what schocked me was that Voldemort was used to be a human! and Voldemort was not his real name. His real name was Tom Marvolo Riddle but he changed it.
I mean, not an ordinary human,of course. he was a half-blood. his father was a muggle and his mother was a witch. I knew he was a Slytherin and he studied at Hogwarts too but I never thought him as half-blood was or a child or a teenager. because he was so evil that I couldn't even imagine what he would look like in the past and he *coughs coughs * used to be handsome...
oh! I love Quidditch too! I don't really like sports but it's different with Quidditch. Quidditch is wonderful and amazing! I even always scream like " YOU CAN DO IT HARRY! YOU CAN CATCH IT!" and when Gryffindor wins I always scream like " YAY!! GRYFFINDOR! GRYFFINDOR! " Am I weird? hahaaha.
AHHH. I wish Hogwarts were real. I wish I were at least a muggle-born. I have only read two books in Harry Potter series but they already have changed my life.
thank you guys for reading and liking this review! I hope you guys have a great day and Happy Reading!! 鉂も潳

Before I say anything else, it's important you know that I LOVE HARRY POTTER. In my fingers and my toes. LOVE.
That being said, this is my least favorite of the early books (I'll let you know whether it's my least favorite overall after I reread HARRY POTTER AND THE ORDER OF THE PHOENIX).
The reasons are LEGION:
1. Gilderoy Lockhart is a prat and I hate him.
2. Deathday party. It's creepy and gross.
3. Poor Ginny.
4. The trouble Harry and Ron get Mr. Weasley into stresses me out.
5. I don't like snakes.
6. I HATE spiders.
7. Dobby needs to calm the eff down:
BUT. This is Harry Potter we're talking about, so there's also plenty of awesomeness:
1. Dwarves dressed as cupids, delivering singing valentines.
2. MOLLY WEASLEY.
3. Ford Anglia in the wilds of the Forbidden Forest.
4. Polyjuice Potion
5. Gnomes shouting "geroff."
6.
SO. Even if this is my least favorite, it's still Harry Potter, and Harry Potter = AWESOME. If you haven't already, READ IT. If you have read it, read it AGAIN. That is all.

*Life lessons:
1. Don't trust too easily.
2. Unexpected grumpy people could mean everything in the end 馃槶
3. Have a life-saving nerdy friend like Hermione at all costs.
馃憖 I cannot get over Ron's mom's letter ... literally made my ears bleed. And that diary.... My life won't be the same again 馃槱
The character which made me laughed out loud many a times without them meaning to was Hermione! Surprising! Not because she's that chatty but the way some lines were written about her that made me squeal because of how nerdy she could be.
"....read every book in the library before Christmas."
"Hermione took nobody's advice but signed up for everything." I mean...馃槀
*Harry: "But why's she got to go to the library?"
Ron: "Because that's what Hermione does. When in doubt, go to the library."
Another bookish quote relived!
I cannot believe I had this much patience in me to give more than a year gap after reading the first book!
Damn!
2021, you are making me shine all over again!
Bless you, book 2!
Fantasy, mystery, adventure done right.
The way it has been written is so simple that it's just impossible not to enjoy. Everything is so damn vivid and entertaining! Things are well-balanced. There aren't anything underwhelming or overwhelming parts I have come across this series.
I watched the entire movie series adaptation years ago and thankfully, none of it made sense that time and I am so GLAD I cannot remember anything happening there except for the actors' faces in my head while reading the books.
I loved the first book. It was so much better than watching a good movie. I could feel the action, adventure and the dialogues more with the book.
And this sequel is amazing as heck too!
I feel the first half was a bit slow but it's the second half that got the legs of my imagination run it's winning race until the end!
Malfoy is annoying (bless him!), the spells are happening real, more strict rules to break and, of course, Hermione and Ron are becoming more endearing with Harry not smiling at all because he's Harry Potter! Dumbledore, you never fail to impress me. I wish there were more parts of the characters. But it's fine. I wasn't bored even for a moment there.
The entire read was a fun fest for me.
I woke up knowing it's Sunday. The reading gods cast a spell on me at 6.30 am and I started reading the book. And now I feel magical!
I am feeling so proud of the characters, including the jerks and the scoffing teachers at Hogwarts. I say nothing would have been this perfect without any of you.
There are more dramatic characters in this one. The ghosts, the side characters...and I don't think I will ever get to see a detailed story description of anyone belonging to my house, Hufflepuff. I know we are all Slytherin here but I need to know a Hufflepuff soon.
Are you there in 3, 4, 5, 6 or the dreaded 7th?

It's actually quite fascinating how much happened in this book, to be honest.
