Summary: Sequelus excellentiare!
Review: Some creature is petrifying certain Hogwarts students as well as a certain unpopular animal. People who've seen the movie probably already know. Underlying that is a threat that the heir of Slytherin will strike at all the Muggle-borns, or to use the derogatory term Draco calls Hermione, a mudblood. In two of the attacks, Harry walks in on the scene and is suspected. Fortunately, the Weasleys and Hermione back him up, as do Hagrid, McGonagall, and Dumbledore. Could this be the danger that Dobby the house-elf warned him about early in the book? Author J. K. Rowling ratchets up certain conflicts. The Dursleys cruelty goes up when they bar Harry up in his room. Draco Malfoy, the rich kid bully, is more verbally vicious to Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The Quidditch match and the duelling scene underscore Harry vs. Draco. The same goes for Professor Snape, who becomes more hateful of Harry than in the first book. But nicer characters continue to be a relief, such as Dumbledore and Hagrid. As this is a more serious crisis, their roles as kindly guardians become more pronounced than ever, especially for Harry. And the Weasley twins, Fred and George, are more mischievous than ever. Whoever invites them to a party had better have a good sense of humour. And Hermione is still the know-it-all and her expertise comes in handy for her two friends, but she's still a girl, as evidenced by her crush on the handsome Gilderoy Lockhart, the new Defense of the Dark Arts teacher. Another key to a successful book series is expanding on concepts or people from a previous story. For example, in Book One, Hagrid tells Harry that he got into trouble at Hogwarts and got expelled. Here, we found out why he got expelled. The three-cornered friendship of Harry, Ron, and Hermione is also cemented here, as is Harry's affinity to the Weasley brothers. Face it, the Weasley family might as well be Harry's true adopted family compared to the Dursleys. Of the new characters, Lucius Malfoy stands out as a menacing character to be reckoned with, and we see where Draco got his nastiness from. Gilderoy Lockhart is a narcissistic, self-promoting, shallow, incompetent charmer. In fact the required texts for his class are all based on his exploits. The concept of pure-bloods and Mudbloods (wizards with Muggle parents) has definite overtones of the Nazis determination of race and their effort to keep the Germanic race pure. But, as Hagrid points out, "...they haven't invented a spell our Hermione can' do." Oh, Mary GrandPre’s chapter heading illustrations are still vivid. Check out the picture of the Mandrake! The second book tops the first in terms of excitement level, richer writing style, expanding the Hogwarts universe, and the desire to read it all the way through. Despite its being a fantasy, it is for all intents and purposes, a mystery, and a wonderful one.

Summary: Good
Review: Some people say that Harry Potter is too overrated and is way to commercialized. I agree, but it's still a great book. Read it and find out for your self. You enter a fantasy world of wizards, giants, floo powder and flying cars. This is the best book I've ever read. No doubt.

Summary: NOT the weakest of the potter books
Review: Some say Chamber of Secrets is the weakest of the four Potter books. Yes, the incident in it is "minor" compared to other Potter books, than say, the third or fourth. But the plot is tightly woven up. It doesn't ramble, like the third or fourth. And the first time you read it, face it, it's a lot scarier than the others. Why? Because students are being stunned --frozen in time-- left and right. Roosters are dying, GHOSTS are practically dying. Meanwhile, excellent points are being brought up. In the second (might have some spoilers here), Harry finds out that Voldemort transferred some his own powers when he gave Harry the scar. That means that besides speaking Parseltongue, Harry probably has some of Voldemort's strenth and "brilliancy." Notice, too, that this is the first book where Harry truly realizes Professor Dumbledore's store of knowledge and how much Dumbledore believes in him when no one else will. Only after this book does Harry start asking for Dumbledore's help. I'd also like to note that Dumbledore was transfiguration teacher before principal, and when Dumbledore was gone, McGonagall, the current transfiguration teacher, became principal. Transfiguration teacher must be pretty powerful and high up on the hierchical ladder. From this book on, Voldemort knows Harry's own past --his performance in school, his personality, his attitude. From this book on, Voldemort has a decided advantage over Harry. Chamber of Secrets reveals the past --Hagrid's, Tom Riddle's, even Dumbledore's. Many people don't like this book as much because there's not as much "ambiguity" as some of the others. But I don't think it's meant to be that. I think it's meant to be a sort-of-background of the past.

Summary: Harry's second year
Review: Summer didn't start out too good for Harry Potter. The Dursleys' were just as terrible as before. All Harry wanted to do is go back to Hogwarts the School of Witch Craft and Wizardry. He gets a warning from a elf named Dobby, to not return to Hogwarts or terrible things will happen.
The elf was right. During Harry's second year at Hogwarts, new terrors occur. He is left to deal with a self-centered proffesor names Gilderoy Lockheart. He has to try to pass his classes while in between new potions turning one of his best friends, Hermione, to cat, Ron's little sister Ginny who is head over heals about Harry, and Moaning Myrtle in the girls bathroom.
These turn out to be the least of his worries, when the myth of the Chamber of Secrets returns to haunt everyone, leaving students petrified. Someone had to reopen the chamber, but noone knows who. Could the person be Hagrid, who was accused of doing the same deed in the past? Could Draco Malfoy be doing it, who seems to be joyous about the tragedy. Or could it be Harry Potter himself, who is believed to do so by all the students.

Summary: A worthy second book in the Harry Potter series.
Review: Summer is over and Harry Potter can't wait to leave his famiily, the Dursley's, and return to the Hogwarts School. The year before he not only made friends, became the star of his Quidditch team but also came face to face with the slayer of his parents and his mortal enemy. This year just has to be better he hopes as Harry loiks forward to learning all sorts of new wizard tricks. But almost from the beginning things go wrong. Harry can't seem to find his way in the train station to track 9 and a half and suddenlt instead he is offerd a magical ride back to school. But as magical as the ride is, problems are waitng for Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione. Strange things are taking palce at the wizard achool and even a noted guest teacher can't help Harry from being suspected of doing these deeds. His enemies continue to stalk his every step and as if that isn't enough he now muct risk his life to find out the riddle of a 50 year old mystery which takes place in an underground chamber. Once again Rowling fills her pages with wonderful characters and tricks of the imagination. And in this book she also begins to introduce more adult themes such as prejudice between Muggles and Non - Muggles children and parents, intolerance and even status. And while I am no longer a child, I found myself joyfully gulping down the first two books in this series. Now as school begins once again and children here return after Labor Day, I will happily spend my days in England at the Hogwarts School leanring about Harry's next adventures and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

Summary: Harry fights and evil foe and light wins against the dark si
Review: Superb, one of the funnest books I have read of late. Easy reading, impossible to put down. Fantasy at its best. Let the magic live on.

Summary: Excellent for teachers reading to entire class!
Review: Teachers, if you want to turn on your students to reading, the Harry Potter books are an excellent beginning. J.K. Rowling keeps the reader (or listener) in grand suspense and she uses colorfully fun language. They are both very easy reading for youngsters but keeps adults wanting more. They are a must-have in your personal library. Harry is a truly loveable character... you feel sorry for him because he is treated so unfairly but he triumphs in all his endeavors. The first book was a blast and the second was just as great as the first. Ms. Rowling, please keep them rolling!

Summary: I'm an ADDICT!
Review: Ten minutes ago, I finished Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I sat for several hours on my couch and resolved I wouldn't put it down until I was done -- and that I did. I thought I was a Harry fan after the first book, but now it's become a full fledged addiction! I can't stop thinking, "What'll happen to Harry in the next book? " And what's worse is...I'm not even twelve years old. I'm an adult, and I'm transfixed. There's something about the quirkiness of the Wizard World that keeps me hooked. I keep wondering what cool spell or magical object will pop up next. Harry's perhaps the most wonderful hero out there -- he embodies a bit of each and every one of us, and throughout every book we cheer for him. We want him to win in the end, and we're never let down. These books are wonderful. Don't stop reading them if you've gotten this far!
