Rating: Summary: Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets By: J.k. Rowling J.K. Rowling wrote a great book about a kid with a mysterious past. With a mysterious scar Harry gets into new troubles in every chapter. He again has trouble with his muggle family and barely makes it to school. When he finally gets to school he seems to develop dangerous situations. Kids from the school start getting hurt, and rumors are going around that certain students are doing it. With a few new characters, and most of the old ones, this is a great book to follow the first one. If you liked the first year of Hogwarts, this year is even better than before. Although I think most of the Harry Potter books are great they have a lot of fictional characters and ideas with magical thoughts. This is what I think makes it good. I would recommend this book to a 10 year old but the book is good for anyone with a wonder of the world of magic.
Rating: Summary: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Review Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets By: J.K. Rowling Reviewed by: K. Huynh Period: 1 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is about a twelve-year-old boy named Harry Potter. He reluctantly finds out that he was a wizard and is recommended that he should go to Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. He's already been at Hogwarts for a year and is now getting ready for his second year. A strange creature named Dobby told Harry that if he returns to Hogwarts, he will be in "moral danger." When Harry went to Hogwarts, there were many new and strange surprises such as a new professor named Gilderoy Lockhart, a spirit named moaning myrtle that haunts the girls' bathroom, and a new student attending Hogwarts, Ginny Weasley, Ron's younger sister. But, the real trouble begins when Hogwarts students starts turning to stone while Harry is determined to find out who really is behind all the trouble. What I like about the book is that it is exciting to read, especially when Harry starts school in Hogwarts. After reading a dramatic chapter, you feel that you should keep on reading to find out what will happen next. Also, when Harry was living with his parents, it was very humorous with Uncle Vernon, Aunt Petunia, and Dudley. They are all scared of wizards and witches because they do not believe in magic. They yell at Harry all summer, mostly because they were scared that he might use some of his magic. One time, Harry said, "You've forgotten the magic word," and right after saying that Uncle Vernon yelled, "What have I told you, about saying the "m" word in our house." People who do not have any magical blood are called muggles, and finally Harry one day was able to escape from the Dursleys and go to Hogwarts. Another reason why I like about the book is because there are many different characters. Voldemort is the evil character in the book, Hermione and Ron, Harry's best friends, Draco Malfoy, Harry's rival, and Dumbledore, the headmaster of Hogwarts school. In each book, there is usually a new defense against the dark arts teacher and all of them a little strange and suspicious. There are also many events that happen in the book such as when Harry goes to Diagon Alley without the help of Hagrid, when Harry visits Sir Nicholas's deathday party, or when Harry was competing against the Slytherins in the Qudditch game. One time, both Malfoy and Harry were dueling with each other with Professor Snape's help. "A jet of silver light hit Malfoy in the stomach and he doubled up, wheezing." All the events lead finally lead up to who made the students turn into stone. My favorite part of the book is when Harry finds a secret diary written by Tom Riddle. When Harry opens the book, there were blank pages only. Harry starts writing in it, and somehow the diary replies to Harry. He keeps asking questions until the diary, which was actually Tom Riddle, takes Harry to the scene where the headmaster finds out who opened "The Chamber of Secrets." Harry was shock to find out who it was and wanted to talk to that person if it was really true that he got expelled. But, if you want to see what happens next, or why Dobby told Harry not to go to Hogwarts, or who opened the "Chamber of Secrets," then you must read this book to find out. An excellent book!
Rating: Summary: Harry did it again Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets By: J.K. Rowling Reviewed by: R. Itchon Period: P.3 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a good book and I liked it. Harry Potter comes back for his second year. When he comes back the book even starts off with a bang. I think this is a much better book than the first book. This is because the things that the author had to put into detail did not have to in this book. It is a good book and a good sequel. I liked this book. I liked that this book is suitable for all kinds of people being young or old. It is good that Harry and his friends always stay together even when they are mad at each other. The book shows this friendship when Ron is in trouble and Harry says, "Hurry up Hermoine lets take Ron to Hagrid, he'll know what to do with Ron." That's what I like about this book. I also disliked parts of this book. The only part that I didn't like is how Hagrid's dialogue is sometimes hard to read because of the way the author makes him talk. Such as when he would say something like this to Harry, "Said she was jus' lookin' round the grounds, but I reckon she was hopin' she might run inter someone else at my house." This is the only thing that I don't like about Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. There are many parts that I like about this book but one part definitely stood out for me. It was the part when they are arriving to Hogwarts for their second year when they lose control and crash into the Whomping Willow. I liked this part because before they crashed the author put a lot of suspense before and got excited at the event that was going to happen. This was my favorite part in the book.
Rating: Summary: The Chamber of Secrets Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets By: J.K. Rowling Reviewed by: W. ... Per.6 I like the second book better than the first one because this one is more scarier. The book is about Harry Potter's second year at Hogwarts. However, a few weeks before school was going to start, Dobby, an house elf, came in Harry's room and told him not to go to Hogwarts this year. Dobby also said that something horrible was unleashed and Harry Potter will be in great danger. Harry Potter tried to find out who's responsible, but Dobby won't tell Harry. Intead, he kept on bumping his head against the wall. Harry Potter didn't listen to Dobby and still went to Hogwarts. When he came to Hogwarts, something strange was happening, he's hearing a scary voice and he found out that he could speak parseltongue, the language of snakes. Something else scary was also happening, people were getting petrified by something, but what? Even Hermione got petrified by it. Will Harry get to the bottom of this mystery and will he defeat whatever's lurking around? I like this book because when I got to the middle of the book, it just gets more interesting by the page. Once I start, I can't seem to stop and rest, it seemed like I have to finish this book in one whole day. At the end it gets even scarier when the Basalisk battles Harry and Voldemort versus Harry. Harry was very fortunate to survive both attacks. At first Harry was injured by the Basalisk. However, the Phenix helped him like this: "A pearly patch of tears was shining around the wound-except that there was no wound." The Phenix healed Harry just in time to verse Voldemort! Although this book is like perfect, there are still some things that I don't like about the book. The main reason was Lucius Malfoy and his son, Draco Malfoy. They are so mean and they think they can do anything because Lucius has a very high position in the Ministery of Magic. This is how he treates his house elf, Dobby: "Lucius Malfoy stood there, fury in his eyes. And cowering behind his legs, heavily wrapped in bandages, was Dobby." Lucius actually beat Dobby down. The good thing is that Harry help freed Dobby by tricking Lucius into giving a cloth to Dobby. My favorite part of the book is when Harry saw how the Phenix dies and reborn. The Phenix burns up and turns into ashes when they die, however, from the ashes, a baby Phenix will be born. Isn't that amazing or what. You can have a loyal pet that lives forever until you pass away. The Phenix also have tears that have amazing healing powers. I wonder where will the Phenix go after it's master dies?
Rating: Summary: My review, for HP 2! Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Reviewed by: Ben Hogg Did you read the first Harry Potter book? Did you like it? If you did then you'll love the second one. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is possibly better than the first. It stars America's favorite boy wizard saving the world again from the forces of evil. Harry attends Hogwarts, a school for witches and wizards, with his two friends Hermione Granger and Ronald (Ron) Weasly. Harry suspects that something evil is going on when Dobby, a house elf, warns him not to go to school, for Harry is "too great to loose." He starts to really get suspicious when the barrier to 9 ¾ closes on him and Ron. And then when he finally gets to school, he hears an icy voice saying plans of murder, and students turning into living statues, and meets a ghost that haunts a girls' bathroom. He knows something is up. It's then up to Ron, Harry, and Hermione to save the school from who, or what, is causing all of this. This is a great book. It has mystery, magic, and proves that one person can make a difference. I think this is a must-read book. I believe that this book is for children and adults, making it a one-of-a-kind piece of literature. It's definantly a 5-wand book! Don't miss it.
Rating: Summary: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Review: Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets is a grate book for kids and adults. I would call it the best of J.K. Rowlings for books. This is a good book because all of Ron Weasleys brothers and his one sister are now entered and participating in the hogwarts school of wizardry. The beautiful minds and ideas of J.K. Rowlings make this book interesting and mysterious. This book is a fairly good size book. 77 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is kina weird and mysterious at a lot of points in the book, like because there is lots of pranks and murders going on that are bad enough that they are thinking about shutting down the school for good. Hagrid opened the chamber of secrets when he was young and was kicked out. The witches and wizards are thinking that the chamber is being open because of the killings. They think it is Hagrid that is trying to open the chamber of secrets so they took him to the prison of Azkaban the strongest and most secured jail on the planet. The wizard who runs hogwarts doesn't think that Hagrid is guilty of trying to open it. Some time later it was opened and now they were in trouble. Now Hagrid could not be guilty of opening the chamber of secrets. This book is great for everyone so take a look at the book.
Rating: Summary: Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets Review: Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets In the sequel to Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone, young Harry is at it again. Harry has spent a dreadful summer at the Dursley household anxiously awaiting his return to Hogwarts for another term at school. His joyful plans, however, become worried ones after receiving a warning from Dobby, the house elf. Dobby tells Harry not to return to school, for bad things will happen if he does. Not only does Harry receive a dreadful message, he is, then, locked in his room for the rest of the summer as punishment. When Harry does return to school, almost late with Ron and in a flying car no less, strange things do begin to happen, just as Dobby had warned. Draco Malfoy is clearly after Harry, and more importantly, students are being turned into stone, and rumors begin that Harry is the cause! Could he be the Heir of Slytherin and be causing all of this madness? This novel, just as magical and exciting as the first, is certainly one to enjoy. Fully packed with ghostly twists and bewitching entertainment, it provides readers with a magical adventure as well as story about a boy who triumphs good over evil, goodness over greatness, and remains our mystical hero.

Rating: Summary: Better than the first one Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of SSecrets is the sequel to the original book, Harry Potter and the Sorcorer's Stone. Harry, who has discovered he is a wizard in the first book, has met a house-elf named Dobby, who tells Harry to stay away from Hogwarts. Harry doesn't listen to Dobby, and when he goes back to the wizarding school, he begins to see why. It's every bit as good as the first one, if not better.
Rating: Summary: Another Piece to the Puzzle Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of was an exciting novel to be read by any literate person young and old. Although short in length when comparing it to the final book, The Chamber of Secrets leaves nothing short of pure perfection. The descriptive dialogue between Harry, Hermione, Ron and the deceitfully evil Draco Malfoy entangles the reader with the problems of being a famous wizard at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Twisting and turning through writings on the wall, whispering voices and a fifty year old percieved myth, J.K. Rowling makes each step of the Harry Potter legend better than before, crushing the previous books with ease and precision. Harry Potter is not just a book about a tale of a secret chamber and it's inhabitant, but the unraveling of a mysterious life. Inside of each experience there lies a small chunk of Harry's life and the life he never knew. J.K. Rowling entangles Harry's Quidditch lessons, classes, teachers, and trouble with information about the young wizards past and family. How his parents died, what the man was like who killed him, and everyone that is hiding Harry's life-threatening fears and most potent of hopes. It is he alone who must uncover the mystery to the Chamber of Secrets and save his friends from turning to stone.
