Summary: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Disappointment
Review: In this book, we read about Harry's second year atHogwarts. But this time, some strange things are happening: petrifiedpeople, odd voices, and strange writing on the wall. It's up to Ron and Harry to save Hogwarts and find out the mystery.

I like Harry Potter, but this book was a let down to me. Most of you or few of you may be disagreeing with me, but in my opinion, this is a disappointment. Why am I thinking this? I'll tell you why. First, the plot of this story is similar to the first book ... Second, who cares about the chamber of secrets? Why does Slytherin have his own chamber of secrets? Why don't Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw have their own chambers too? Also, what's with this basilisk talking with Harry and paralyzing people? I think an idea of a basilisk seems unreasonable. Rowling could have replaced the basilisk with some made-up, more creative creature. Finally, why is Gilderoy Lockhart in the book? If he is such a bad teacher at Hogwarts, why did Dumbledore hire him in the first place? I find his character useless. He doesn't know any magic except for a memory charm. Dumbledore would have fired him if he knew what a stupid person Lockhart was. He just ruined another part of the story for me and was another let down.

In my opinion, this book is the worst of all four Harry Potter books in the series. I recommend the other three books to any Harry Potter fan or any reader. I found this book to be a waste of money and paper.

Summary: Maximus Morpheous
Review: In this great young adult book, Harry Potter is whisked away from his evil muggle relatives and is flown back to Rons by his dad's flying car. The ideal audience for the book is all ages. Children will love the magical spells, the flying cars, and of course the flying cars. The characterization in the book is excellent. Harry is just a small boy who is feared by his muggle relatives and wants to leave the bedroom where he is locked in. Draco Malfoy is represented well as the ideal bully in any story and is hated by most readers for putting Harry in danger. The plot is well written because everyone wants to keep on reading to see why only Harry happens to hear the strange voice. They also want to know who is actually turning people into stone since everyone is a suspect. Emotions were stirred when Professor Snide first tried to get Harry expelled on the first day of school for flying a car to school. Snide is out to get Harry whenever there is trouble and the finger is usually pointed at Harry when there is trouble. It's hard to watch Harry get abused verbally like he did when he was living with his muggle relatives. It was also really humorous to see his cousin so intimidated by his magic ways even though he couldn't use any of his powers. My overall impression of the book was that it was very intriguing and very well written. It was hard for me to put the book down whenever I got to the end of the chapter. It was easy reading and I think all ages could read any of these books. I'm excited to see the movie that just came out to see how closely it relates to the first book. I recommend this book to any of those who are remotely interested.

Summary: Snape vs. Lockhart ---let's hope they take each other out!
Review: In this second book in the Harry Potter Saga, we find Harry back at the Dursleys for summer vacation. The Durleys are no longer afaird of Harry, thanks to an elf. The Ministry of Magic sent Harry a warning, and reminded him that under age wizards are not allowed to perform magic outside school, and the Dursleys are happy with that. Harry's uncle locks him in his room and doesn't let him out.
Harry is saved by Ron, Fred and Geogre in Mr. Weasley's flying car. Harry gets to de-gnome the garden, a chore for the three weasley boys.
Soon, Harry gets to meet his new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Gilderoy Lockhart. Gilderoy Lockhart is popular with all the girls in the book (because of his GOOD looks). Gilderoy is not popular with Harry and Ron. Gilderoy seems to like Harry, and gives him "advice"
Gilderoy is a poor teacher, always talking about his books and himself.
Soon, the attacks start to happen, and the whole school finds out Harry can talk to snakes. Talking to snakes is a sign of a dark wizard.
Just as good as the first book!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A great sequel
Review: In this series, the sequels get progressively better (so far).

Often thought of as a kid's book, the Harry Potter series also makes for entertaining light reading for adults. Though voluminous, the books can be read quickly taking only a day or two of focused reading.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: More Hogwarts' Academy Fun
Review: In this, the second book in J.K. Rowling's highly acclaimed series, Harry and his friends return to Hogwarts Academy for more education and adventure. Along with their studies, Harry, Ron and Hermione have to deal with a poltergeist in the ladies' room ... and many other interesting secrets that reveal themselves over the course of the tale. I find this series of novels highly entertaining, for adults and young folks alike. This is a book that lends itself well to being read aloud, so that the entire family might enjoy it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fantastic!
Review: In this, the second Harry Potter book, Harry prepares for his second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Things begin to get strange when a house-elf appears, warning Harry that his life is in danger should he return to school. When Harry does return, word spreads that the hidden Chamber of Secrets, built by Slytherin himself and containing a horrible monster, has been opened. All eyes begin to look suspiciously in Harry's direction, and a maelstrom of evil begins to form around him. Can Harry find and face the heir of Slytherin before it's too late?

Once again Ms. Rowling has produced a great story! It is crammed full of suspense, with the sort of humor that adds to the story without distracting from it. This is a masterfully done work that deserves all of the acclaim that it is getting.

The author expertly tailored the story, so that it is possible to pick up this book and read it without reading the first one, but I highly recommend against it! To get the full feeling for the story you must read both books in order. This is a great book, suitable for both younger and more advanced readers, and I highly recommend it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The wonders of Books
Review: In todays fast paced world of video games, cartoons and television it was refreshing to read such a delightful Children's book. I love Fantasy works by many great authors and as I read the second of the Harry Potter books I again found myself slipping into his world. Ms. Rowling has created delightful characters, enough plot for the audience the book was intended for (young readers) and great lessons on how to remain calm, use good judgement and to believe in one's self. Parents should not worry that their child is going to jump out of a window on a broomstick (unless you yourself was the child that played Superman from the roof as a kid) Parents read the book with your child and live the adventure with them. Very well written, a great beginning to an old art...reading for enjoyment as a child.

Rating: 5 stars
