Rating: Summary: Even better than the first! Review: I first picked up a copy of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone at my brother's elementry school book fair. I was drawn to the cover, and I LOVE books about magic. I almost didn't buy it-but now I'm glad I did! All of my friends have read it. When this boook came out, I was afraid that it wouldn't live up to the original Harry Potter-but it sure did! I could not put this book down. It twists and turns more times than you would think possible, and the ending is completly unexpected. I LOVE this series! JK Rowling rates up with Brian Jacques, JRR Tolkien, and Terry Brooks. I don't think I'll wait for the Prisoner of Azkaban to come out over here-and I can't wait for the fourth book!
Rating: Summary: What is hiding in Hogwarts? Review: I first read Chamber of Secrets hot on the heels of finishing The Sorceror's Stone (book 1 in the Harry Potter series). I had run into a bookstore during a layover at an airport to buy Chamber of Secrets because I knew that I'd be finishing Sorceror's Stone by the time I reached my final destination. Down went one book and up came the other and I was transported straight back into Harry's world.The Chamber of Secrets opens, like with all other Harry books so far, at the Dursleys. Fearful of his magical abilities, the Dursleys have locked all of Harry's things away for the summer. Not only that but none of his so-called friends have been writing to him. Harry is miserable. Just when he thinks things can't get worse he gets a strange visitor warning him that he mustn't return to Hogwarts that year because dreadful things are planned! Of course Harry can't stay with the Dursleys - that is a fate worse than death so off to Hogwarts he tries to go. But something is wrong - why can't he get on the train with his friend Ron? When he does get to school, dreadful things really do start to happen. Filch's cat, the Gryffindor house ghost - even some of his best friends have a very mysterious fate in store! Worse than that - much of the school suspects Harry of being involved. It's up to him to get to the root of the trouble and he's sure the answer lies with his nemesis, Draco Malfoy. This is a better book than the first - though with the Harry Potter books, they are really in a class of their own. We get into the action much quicker this time - in fact, out of all of the books, this is really the most action packed. We also start to meet more of the wizarding world - including some interesting creatures, his best friend Ron's house and an extremely over the top Defect Against the Dark Art's teacher who might not be all he makes himself out to be. We also find out more about Harry - was he really supposed to be in Gryffindor and why is he so like Salazar Slytherin himself? I suggest you read these books in the order they were written - so read The Sorceror's Stone first. Enjoy!
Rating: Summary: Harry Potter is even famous with muggles like us! Review: I first saw Harry Potter in Barnes and Nobles and thought it was just another book. Then I got my school reading list and I saw it was on there. So I bought it and I read one or two paragraphs and I was hooked. It was the absolute best. When I finished the first one I was upset because I didn't have enough money to get the next one. So I was on vacation and I went to a bookstore and my Dad bought me the last copy of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." I got it done in 5 days. It was just as good as the first. I am now anxiously waiting for the third one to come out.
Rating: Summary: GREAT BOOK! Review: I first started with the series one year ago when I was 12 and went on a holiday to London (I'm from Israel) I am a book collector and quit mad on books, I saw that everybody was very ecxited about some book so I decided to buy the first book, The minute I started reading it I couldn't stop - it was wonderfull, I read through the night and when I finished it I read it again and again, I counted about 14 or more times. after that I bought the second book and the third they are all very nice and cool and I can't wait for the fourth book to come out! I would recomend this book not only for 9-12 years old but for 11-17. it is about Harry Potter (12 years old in this book) and his adventures in Hogwarts (A school for witchcraft and wizardry in England), There is alot of magic, evil and fun, I hope yoy will read and enjoy!
Rating: Summary: couldn't put it down Review: I first thought that i was too old for this, but I got into it and now I've read book 1 and 2. They're both very good and hard to put down, kind of Douglas Adams meets Roald Dahl, funny exciting and well written. Number one was better, but highly recommended.
Rating: Summary: Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets Review: I found this book because after reading the first one I said I had to read the other!Harry Potter2 has more strills and new spells to us.The plot of the book is more about Harry, secret abilities and destiny as a wizard. This book is also about a place in the school that they didn't think as real. The only dislike I have is the new defense teacher.
Rating: Summary: Harry Potter is #1! Review: I gave this book 5 stars because it was the best story I've read in about 2 years. I liked how the book was action-packed. The author gave good descriptions of the characters. Also if you like mysteries, this would be a good book for you!
Rating: Summary: read harry potter Review: I gave this book five stars because it gave alot of detail. Like when Harry saw Chamber of Secrets they told every thing about the Chamber of Secrets and what the people teach or do. The most interesting thing about the book is the magic words because they all meant something different.
Rating: Summary: henry potter and the chamber of secrets & the other h.p book Review: I gave this book to my 12 year old granddaughter along with the other 2 titles; she loved them as did her 9 year old brother and their mother is now reading them to her 3rd and 4th grade class which also loves the books. They were a real hit!
Rating: Summary: The number one book Review: I give "The Chamber of Secrets" five stars because the story was written so well that it was the only book I was ever able to read and picture a movie the whole way through. "The Chamber of Secrets was so good I was not able to put down. The first thing I thought about the book was this was going to be a good book. The story is about a boy who parents were killed by a man named Voldemort. On Halloween Mrs. Norris, a cat was frozen by something unknown. For the rest of the book Harry, Ron and Hermoine try to find out what it was. My favorite part was when Harry was in the Chamber of Secrets. I loved the ending it was sssooooooo tense. The ending was explained well, and I've never read anything like it.
