Summary: Everyone Has Secrets
Review: The second installment of Harry Potter picks up where the first left off. We find Harry at the end of summer vacation before returning to school: mean relatives, and the expectation of going back to school (that right there is fictitious!)

Again, an influx of some off-the-wall characters makes this story delightful. The fame obsessed Dark Arts teacher is the funniest...all text books are his own works.

We find Harry and his adventureous friends hearing rumors about the Chamber of Secrets, and the Heir of Slytherin: The one house that has produced the most dark wizards. But people (and Mrs. Norris, the cat) pop up petrified, and rumor suddenly becomes reality. The mysterious Heir of Slytherin is bound to unravel Hogwarts at its foundations.

The junior sleuths find their way to the Chamber of Secrets, and Harry once again to the Dark Lord himself, Voldemort. A nailbiting duel, a climatic ending...this will be sure to keep you from putting the book down too easily. An enthusiastic five stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Harry Does It Again
Review: The second installment of the Harry Potter series is a wonderful story that continues the young wizzards at Hogwarts. Although this book stands perfectly on its own, I strongly suggest that you read the first book in order to understand all the background.

The second book follows Harry, Ron, and Hermoine through their second year at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Once again, strange things are happening. This time however, they are affecting the students a bit more seriously. People are being petrofied and no one knows what is doing it. Then the rumors start about a secret chamber hidden somewhere in Hogwarts. Once again, Harry and his friends set out to find the truth.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It's just fun to be a child again!
Review: The second of the Harry Potter series is as delightful as the first. Harry is a precocious boy who has a nose for trouble, and seems to find himself in it everywhere he turns. This entire book is nothing but fun, each page a magical delight that turns you into a child again for awhile. I recommend taking the trip with Harry back to Hogwarts and into the Chamber of Secrets, if only so you can enjoy being eleven years old again for a short time.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Ms Rowling does it again
Review: The second one gets better than the first! My favourite among the lot of four! This one has more adventures but a great logical ending too! Loved it!! New characters are introduced in this one and believe me nothing like this book! Thank you Ms. Rowling for getting the kids off the idiot box! How can people even think of banning this series?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Book Two
Review: The second, and in my opinion best, novel in the fantasy/fiction series of Harry Potter by J.K. Rowling, is Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. As you all probably know Harry Potter is a young boy with an extraordinary life, in the muggle world at least. Harry is a wizard, unlike his aunt and uncle with whom he lives. Harry has inherited his wizarding skills from his late parents who died at the hands of the evil Lord Voldemort. Harry grew up knowing very little about his parents or his magical past and how he had been named, "the downfall of Lord Voldemort." During the first book Harry finds out he is a wizard, and is faced with battling the remains of Lord Voldemort.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets starts with Harry receiving a visit from a house elf warning him against going back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry ignores the warnings and after a few minor obstacles, he finds himself back at Hogwarts for yet another year.
The school year seems to be going great, with the addition of a new defense against the dark arts teacher, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart. However, messages have started to appear written on the walls, walls in which Harry is hearing voices from. It seems that yet again the chamber of secrets has been opened, and by the heir of Slytherin. Even though Harry is a Gryffindor, students, and some teachers, suspect he is the culprit. If the messages on the walls aren't threatening enough the fact that students are being petrified surely is.
Throughout all of the Harry Potter Books J.K. Rowling has created this wonderful fantasy world of wizardry, with the readers being able to really relate to the characters, and possibly learn from their struggles and triumphs. Not only does Rowling create such a positive and inspiring group of characters, but she does so in a way unlike many authors, that I can not even try to explain.
So it seems Rowling has made Harry's second year at Hogwarts yet again difficult for him. From a deathday party, to a living diary, and a giant talking spider, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a very good read. Whether Harry is the true heir to Slytherin or not, I'm not going to say, so I recommend you go out and read it this book to find out for yourself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: An amazing book for children and adults!
Review: The sequel to "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is even better than the first installment! You will find out some interesting information about Hagrid and meet some terrific new characters. There are several great comedic parts in the book and J.K. Rowling has an extraordinary ability to weave suspense. J.K. Rowling has created another masterpiece!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Harry's 2nd book is great!
Review: The sequel to "Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone" is just as transfixing and amazing as the first. Although it doesn't grab readers right in the beginning, after the first few chapters I was hooked. It had a great plot, characters, and end. Magical!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Almost as good as the first!
Review: The sequel to 'Harry Potter and The Sorceror's Stone is almost as enchanting. The Characters weren't as 'tight' as they were in the first book, and in some places things seemed to be forced out by the author. Still Five Stars!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Totally Bewitching
Review: The series was the most exciting series I have ever read. The suspense was great! Just when you thought you had solved it you turned out wrong.Hermione reminds me of myself...smart:), bold, and always on the right track! Harry Potter wasBrave and fearless which made the book even more amazing.The Weasly brothers made it comical, and Ron , so stuck on saving Ginny made it even more touching, it semmed as if he was always caring about loved ones. Oh, and the basilisk made it kinda scary. You see the way Istarted my intrest in the book was when one of my best freinds introduced the book to my teacher and we started to read "Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone to us. Ever since I have been totaly moved by it...Anyways I really loved the book
