Summary: Based on a Polish Legend
Review: The Basilisk is a creature that, if you take one look at it, it would kill you. Harry Potter makes contact with this Basilisk, even though most people might find it surprising that it is actually based on a Polish legend: 'Basiliksie'
The Basiliksie is pretty much the same creature, some versions tell that one look will kill you; others say that one look would turn you into stone. It is the same snakelike monster. Except in the legend, the hero killed it by holding a mirror in front of it so it killed itself by looking at itself. Turns out Harry didn't need a sword after all. :)

Summary: 1 more battle with voldemort in Harry's second year o Hogwar
Review: The best nook I have read in a long time since Roald Dahl. I think J K Rowling should keep making Harry Potter books.

Summary: Best suspense book!
Review: The best suspense book that I ever read. I strongly recommend for all ages. This book even beats Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in suspence and mystery. The way Hermione figures out what creature only Harry Potter hears in the story is just "bloody brilliant" -as Fred and George say. Again, I recommend this book to you STRONGLY.

Summary: A New Year Brings New Troubles for Harry
Review: The book begins with Harry back at Privet Drive with his horrible aunt, uncle, and cousin. Then on the night of his uncle's big meeting with a new customer for his drill company, a strange looking creature visits Harry in his bed room and warns him of awful things that will happen at Hogwarts in the up-coming year. This creature is the house elf Dobby. Dobby causes trouble for Harry so life at Privet drive worsens. Then Harry's best friend, Ron, and his two older twin brothers, Fred and George, fly their father's bewitched car to rescue Harry from the Dursleys. During the year at Hogwarts, a number of students become petrified by a creature that is loose in the school. The rumors of the Chamber of Secrets begin to spread throughout the school and it is believed to be opened once again. Many people believe that it is Harry who is the heir of Slytherin, which means that he would be the person responsible for the students, ghost, and cat that were petrified. To find out who the real heir of Slytherin and opener of the Chamber of Secrets you'll have to read the book for yourself!
This book was exciting and kept me on the edge of my seat. It was impossible to put down and I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys fantasy, thrills, and a little bit of mystery all in one.

Summary: Irony in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Review: The book Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling is a book put together with the use of the literary device of irony. It is said that Rowling puts together an excellent book thorough the use of the device of irony. Much of the book would have to be written differently if irony was not included.
For instance throughout the book students at Hogwarts are petrified due to the sight of the "monster", later known as the basilisk, hidden in the chamber of secrets. Almost every time this takes place Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger and Harry Potter are found at the scene first. Also it just happened to work out that the Defense against the Dark Arts teacher Gilderoy Lockhart is a fake and can't perform magic. Therefore Ron and Harry have to step up and take the lead in finding Ginny Weasley, Ron's younger sister who was captured by Tom Riddle.
Although irony made it possible for every thing to work in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, it is said that there is too much. Everything in the book keeps happening because Harry, Ron, and Hermione happen to be there. Then it is argued as mentioned before the book would not have been able to flow with out the literary device. So all in all Rowling's book was made possible because of irony.
