Summary: The Tale of Everything The First Book Never Did Answer
Review: Harry Potter, the famous wizard in training, is back in the sequel to the popular first novel. In this book, Ms. Rowling's imaginative language and skills are brought out as in the first book. In this story, however, Harry find himself visited by a house-elf named Dobby, slave to the Malfoys. He warns Harry about going back. Of course, Harry doesn't listen (does he ever?). What could be worse than the Dursleys? Obviously, everything. A new, conceited professor, Lockhart, shows up, teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, a new ghost, Moaning Myrtle haunts the girls bathroom, and someone is turning students into stone! In addition to that, Lockhart has a bad impression of Harry as an ego-maniac, and Hagrid, the gamekeeper, has secrets to tell. Of course, Harry is back to Quidditch, which he's most looking forward to, only to discover that mean, stuck-up, (and a personal favorite of mine!)Draco Malfoy has become the Slytherin seeker using his fathers money, (conviently turns out to really be bad at Quiddtich) and has the newest broomstick- a Nimbus 2001! Now, after all he's been through, everyone suspects Harry of truning them into stone! Muggle-borns now fear him and call him 'Heir of Slytherin'. Among the turned-stone students is Harry's friend Hermione Granger! No one believes him-not even Ron! How can he prove that it's not him, become the Quidditch champion, catch the criminal, handle many new characters (and old ones) and still survive? He's Harry Potter! Read the book and find out!

Summary: Hogwarts' Past Could End Everything!
Review: Harry Potter, the now 12 year old wizard, had a horrible summer that might have been prevented if a mysterious house-elf named Dobby hadn't appeared in Harry's room with the severe warning not to return to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry. Harry ends up locked in his room with no way out. But when Harry's faithful friend Ron and his brothers Fred and George fly a Ford Anglia to his house Harry escapes to the Burrow, the Weasley's home. After a lovely summer with the Weasleys, Harry returns to Hogwarts (With a very rough welcome from a bad tempered Whomping Willow). After the first wonderful school days with Ron and Hermione, an unseen beast from Hogwarts' mysterious past awakens to terrorize, by turning the school's resident muggle borns into petrified statues. Now it's up to Harry, Ron, and Hermione to uncover the Chamber of Secrets, a hidden chamber built by Salazar Slytherin himself. The Chamber is the key to stopping history from repeating itself. But someone-or something-is trying to prevent the discovery of the chamber by trying to take Harry's life. And the residents of the school are not about to help Harry as all the clues hint that he is the prime suspect of the attacks. A cast of wonderful new characters join the old favorites including Gilderoy Lockhart (the self absorbed Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher), Colin Creevy (Harry's biggest, camera carrying, fan) and Lucius Malfoy (Draco Malfoy's trouble making father). "The Chamber of Secrets" is a wonderful follow up to its prequel "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone". It reveals more of everyone's past and their envolvment when the chamber was first opened 50 years ago. I loved this book and I hope it will cast its magical spell on you too.

Summary: Truths be told
Review: Harry spends a frightful summer with the horrible Dursleys, and just when it seems like he'll never get back to Hogwarts, he gets a bizarre warning from a house-elf who says that if Harry goes back to the school, it will be dangerous and disastrous. After a few days with his friend Ron and his family, Harry returns to Hogwarts to find a new obnoxious professor and an equally obnoxious ghost haunting one of the girls' bathrooms. And soon disaster does strike as one student after another turns up seemingly turned to stone. Could Draco Malfoy, Harry's rival, be more menacing than originally thought? Or could Hagrid the gameskeeper somehow be connected to it all? Or could it actually be Harry himself, as some of his schoolmates believe? Harry is determined to figure out what's going on, especially after his friend Hermione becomes one of the victims. The best part about Rowling's storytelling abilities is how she can write a book that seems so familiar, and yet be entirely new and exciting and positively thrilling. The Harry Potter series deserves all the buzz given it, and more!

Summary: great imagination
Review: Harry was a great character in this book. I also saw the movie and he was excellent. The cat was really weird and outragous.When he died he was scary.
All the blood on the walls looked like some bubble-stretched alien and that was funny but freaky and I liked that because that got my attention.
I MISS DUMBLEDORE.
DUMBLEDORE: He was a great actor and a great professor. Rest In Peace Dumbledore.
P.S. Find someone like Dumbledore because of what happened. We need another movie, but make sure he has a long beard.I can't wait until the fifth book comes out because I'm going to buy it when it comes out in stores.

Summary: Terrific Sequel...
Review: Harry's adventures (and J.K. Rowling's ingenius writing) continues with this second installment. No disappointments here. Although the story sagged a bit in the middle (just a bit!), this one was just as good as the first.Terrific plot twists and vivid imagery. It was wonderful to get re-acquainted with some old friends and meet new ones...and as always, I love how Rowling depicts the Dursleys. She has a great sense of humor. The first chapter will have you in stitches. Get this one! Cris

Summary: Harry Potter 2
Review: Harry's aunt and uncle were so mean to him over the summer that all he wanted to do was go back to Hogwarts. When Harry was packing, he got a strange warning by an elf-like thing named Dobby who told Harry if he returned to Hogwarts, disaster would strike. But Harry went back anyway. Just as Dobby warned, disaster struck. Harry, now in his second year at Hogwarts and with a new teacher named Gilderoy Lockhart who comes into class in a very stuck up mood, along with him is a ghost known as Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girl's bathroom. Now the real problems begin. Someone or something is turning the kids into stone! Who could it be? Well, you'll just have to read it to find out. So pick up Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, written by J.K. Rowling at your local libary or bookstore. I recommend this book to all of you.

Summary: Harry's Done It Again!
Review: Harry's second year at Hogwarts was more exciting than thefirst. While reading this book, I felt like I was experiencingadventures right along with Harry and his friends, Hermione and Ron. If you read the book about Harry's first year, "The Sorceror's Stone", you know that Hogwarts is a school for wizards and worlocks. And you also know about Harry's famous background. In this book Harry meets the sorceror who killed his parents. If you want to know who it is and how he does it, you'll have to read the book for yourself. Along the way you'll meet lots of new characters like Moaning Myrtle, Dobby the house elf and Aragog the spider. END
