Summary: You have to wonder...
Review: You have to wonder how a person such as J.K. Rowling spent her time prior to writing these books. I gather she was divorced, raising a small son (in a stroller) and writing in a local cafe. How did she go as long as she did without anyone knowing about the talent she had? Didn't anyone in her school (perhaps a teacher) notice the skill and imagination that goes into her writing? Well, anyway, on to the discussion of the book.In this second installment in the series, Harry Potter is now on summer break, staying with his aunt and uncle, and their fat and horribly spoiled son. The Dursleys (their son is named Dudley, of all things) hate Harry, the memory of his parents, and all things magical, so naturally they keep their nephew in a closet under the stairs. When Harry escapes their clutches the second time, to visit friends first and then go back to Hogwarts, the magic college, the adventure begins. There are mysterious things going on, though. A house elf tries to stop Harry from returning to Hogwarts, and when he arrives back at school, almost immediately students begin to appear, petrified, literally almost turned to stone. Harry's mysteriously attacked while playing Quidditch, his favorite game. And he has the start of an annoying occurence, a fan club. Even worse, there's a fraudulent wizard at the school who's supposed to be teaching "Defense against the Black Arts" and instead is mainly interested in increasing his own popularity and signing copies of his best-selling books. The adventure is fun, the characters are interesting, and you can see where parts of it are taken from other classics, reworked, and incorporated into the story. One odd note, which detracts (I think, anyway) from the British feel of the story. The spelling and punctuation are Americanized, for some reason. I'm not sure why someone would bother with this. Perhaps it's because the book's mostly for children? Regardless, I enjoyed it a great deal anyway.

Summary: Deeper and Darker Than Sorcerer's Stone
Review: You know a series is simply trememdous when the second book is far better than the first. Such is the case here. There are darker elements at play, and a bit more intrigue as well. CHAMBER a lot more depth than the first, and takes on some pretty intense action. The mystery of Lord Voldemort just keep on growing...and it's got me hooked.

Summary: Too old? Ha! Not me....
Review: You might expect a highschooler to be less than enthusiastic about a book written about...and for, really, a bunch of fourth graders. But, obviuosly, you havn't met me! I was hooked within the first three chapters of the first book, and went crazy until I could read this one! I read it while on vaction at a lake cabin...and barely put it down long enough to take a short swim. I ended up reading most of the book out loud to my best friend, who was having a hard time dealing with my numerous cries, yelps, fits of laughter and loud "conversations" with the characters. We were both very taken with the book, characters and adventures. When we finished the last few chapters, we were left sitting on the dock and looking pathetically lost. We wanted more! So, we picked it up and reread our favorite parts, laughing and talking. We both agree- everyone should read all the Harry Potter books! Everyone, of all ages! We gaurentee it'll make anyone feel good.

Summary: Anthony Michaels review of "Harry Potter - Book 2"
Review: YOU will instantaniously fall in love with "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". Not because it's a good book. But because it's a excellent book. The super imagination of J.K Rowling is what the book needs, but not the only thing. The book needs YOUR imagination as well. It needs you to imagine it and lock it in your mind as you read about the magic, fun, and HORROR that happens at Hogwarts. It is not a really scary book, but when you read it, you get a chill that runs through you. There are new characters and they don't take away from the story... they ADD to it. If you liked the first book, boy will you love the second. ALSO WRITTEN BY J.K. ROWLING

Summary: This book is outstanding!!!!!
Review: You will want to read this book because it has so many clever people in it. I think Harry Potter is intresting because he is not what he appears to be. He is a little child who is ignored by his family, but is famous to witches and wizards. This book is really exellent! I can't wait for the sequel.
