Summary: "Good" would be an insult to this book.
Review: Like my title states, this book ROCKS! I was sooooooo hyper about Harry Potter (ooooooohhhhhhhhhh, HARRY POTTER!) when i got I finished it in 11 days! Anyone and everyone should read this book. It's full of everything a reader needs: Gore, mystery, books with hidden memories, Harry Potter, and overall, MAGIC! This book is as great as the 4th one!

Summary: No more bickering!
Review: Listening to these tapes in the care and at mealtimes has completely eliminated sibling bickering at those times! We are all sitting on the edges of our seats, making faces, comments, and laughing at times while we listen to the latest twist of plot in Harry's adventures. Everyone, the 1st grader, who can't read the books yet; the 5th grader who has read them several times; and the parents who don't have time to sit and read the books are thoroughly entranced with Jim Dale's readings of the book.

Summary: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Review: Many people around me, my sister, my friends, and even my teachers read Harry Potter series, and suggested for me to read it. I've already read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and it was a very amusing book. I have also heard that many people thought that Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the weakest book of all four. But I enjoyed it as much as the first one. I don't read scary books and also boring stories. This book, Harry Potter and Chamber of Secrets, dragged me to the world of fantasy, where witches were real and brooms were really flying. I liked reading this book, and I am planning to read also the third book.Hogwarts is a school for Witchcraft and Wizardry and is divided into four main groups, Gryffindor, Slytherin, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. They were four names of people who found Hogwarts. Harry and his friends, Ron, and Hermione were in Gryffindor. After running away with Ron and his brothers to Ron's house, they left to Hogwarts. It was basically about some bad strikes that Petrified many students of Hogwarts, from Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw. Gilderoy Lock hart is a famous author who used Memory Charms to clear someone's memory...Many liked him, but he was very immoral and Harry didn't like him. Colin Creevey was a first year student at Hogwarts and he was so fascinated to meet Harry, he took pictures whenever he saw Harry. Harry was on Quidditch team. Quidditch was a sport which players on brooms are supposed to hit the Bludger over to the goal at the two ends of the fields. Harry was a seeker, which he has to find a Golden Snitch and it marks the end of the game. Crazy Bludger, as if it was on spell hit Harry and Harry fell right after he caught the Snitch. His arms were hurting and smug Lockhart degenerated the situation by making Harry's bones disappeared and Harry was sent to Hospital Wing. During the time at Hogwarts, he heard some weird noises. Then the people at Hogwarts heard about the opened Chamber of Secrets and were scared. They knew it was Slytherin Heir, but didn't know who. Their suspect was Draco. With Polyjuice Potion, at Moaning Myrtle's "out of order" bathroom, they transferred themselves into people in Slytherin during the Christmas break... Through the diary Harry found, When Chamber of Secrets was opened 500years ago, Tom Riddle suspected Hagrid, Harry's friend now, and Hagrid was expelled. Hermione was soon petrified as few others, and by following spiders, Hagrid's friends, Harry found out Hagrid didn't open the Chamber of Secrets. When Harry and Ron went to visit Hermione at Hospital Wing, they found a note. It was about Basilisk, type of snake, which have deadly stare and all who are fixed with the beam of its eye shall suffer instant death. That solved the question...Then, they saw Hermione's writing that said pipes. Soon, Harry realized it was snakes going through the pipes hissing that Harry had heard, since Harry was parseltongue. After the other teachers asked Lockhart to go and save the Hogwarts for them, Ron and Harry found Lockhart trying to escape. Then, they took Lockhart to the bathroom to go trough the pipes... My favorite part of the book was when Harry was facing Tom Riddle, Lord Voldemort once again. Voldemort's power would have been much stronger, but I think Harry was being smart...Harry was very brave, but I kind of knew that he was going to win someway, since he beat Voldemort when he was a baby, and when Harry was at Hogwarts as a first year students. I think the most interesting about this author, J.K. Rawlings, is that she made up many unique names and had many uncommon ideas which people wouldn't really think of, even though I didn't mention in this book review. There were names of Nearly Headless Nick, Dobby, Professor McGonagall, Pomfrey, Gringotts (harry potter1), and many more. I think she's a really good author. I can tell by the way she wrote the series of books, Harry Potter.

Summary: We used to call him Bobby !
Review: Many people wouldn't recall Bobby Brewster, maybe I made him up, but if my memory serves me right he was the Harry Potter of 20 or so years ago and I loved him. I know I should have outgrown this stage by now but JK Rowling is a truly excellent writer. Cliche as it may sound I couldn't leave The Chamber of Horrors down (maybe there was a spell on it! ). Its so imaginative, funny and almost believable. The different courses they study - Herbology, The Dark ages, Potions - who would have thought of them. It must have been so difficult to write such an unpredictable book with little twists and turns all over the place. If my 8 year old nephew doesn't hurry up and finish the third one, well suffice to say you can imagine which one of us is the bigger. Please tell me there are plans for a fourth...

Summary: I'd Certainly Rebutt Dear Mary For Saying It's Violent!
Review: Mary from the USA claims that J.K. Rowling's works are imaginative, but in a negative aspect because it's "violent". Well, I'll like to tell her: my little brother of nine just finished reading "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" (believe him, he's smarter than you think, frankly), and he simply adores this magical book series even more, having completed, also, Rowling's tour de force in the first book of her series. Yet he doesn't comment on anything violent in either stories, and I supportingly second him! I've just read "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkhaban", up to the point where Mary commented ("the wizard killing thirteen people while laughing menacingly"), and I seriously think that it's unreasonable of her to talk about Rowling's writings as such! I'm sure you can see that I'm an avid fan of hers, but I'm not biased in this literary world - Rowling's merely writing stories for the pleasure of, mainly, young kids! You think any old story on violence would be approved for the enjoyment of those 9 and above? Besides, read how the wizard proceeds to "killing" his victims - through MAGIC! What, the next thing you know you see your toddler waving a wand and shouting "Alabahoo!"? PLEASE! I think Rowling's a wonderful author - decent and purely talented in creative imagination! In fact, I'd say of all her books I've read so far, this one ("Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets") has the most mystifying, curious and funniest plot. Well done, Miss Rowling! Good luck on your future works! I'm certainly looking forward to them!

Summary: The Misjudged Book
Review: Most People think that this book is the least good out of the series. Well just to let you know it is not. People misjudged this book because it had a weird plot or a more complicated story to understand. I thought the same up until i read it again. And now i have completely changed my mind about this book. I figured out that you have to look at every part of the story and connect every part. I am not going to give anything away. This book connects great with book 4- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Please give this book another chance it is very good.

Summary: Great!
Review: Most sequels to books really bite, but I thought this second book of the Harry Potter series was great!It starts out with some unusual antics, then builds up in intrigue and suspense more and more...and the ending-wow! I never would had guessed it ended like THAT, (and no, I'm not telling.) I highly recommend this book even if you haven't read any of the other Potter books.

Summary: AWESOME !
Review: Mrs. Rowling, When I first started Harry Potter I didn't think it would make sence. In the begining of the first book when they were talking about muggles and Lord Voldomort I was confused, but then after I read it a while I felt like I was wright there. When I was telling my mom about the book she asked me what quiditch was. When I finally got do explaining it she was interested in it. So now she is reading all the Harry Potter books to her class. I just finished all the books you have out now. I couldn't decide which one was my favorite. I got so in to them that when my teacher was reading Savage Sam I was reading one of the Harry Potter Books. I finished the three in three days. I live in St. Louis and it just snowed hear. When my brother and sister were playing outside in the snow I was reading Harry Potter When I told them about the books they asked me to read them to them. So now I am reading them to them. So please hurry and get the rest out soon! Thanks for the books, Antonia Ferguson
