Editorial Review:
J K Rowling's sequel to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone carries on where the original left off. Harry is returning to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry after the summer holidays and, right from the start, things are not straightforward.
Unable to board the Hogwarts express, Harry and his friends break all the rules and make their way to the school in a magical flying car. From this point on, incredible events happen to Harry and his friends--Harry hears evil voices and someone, or something is attacking the pupils. Can Harry get to the bottom of the mystery before it's too late?
As with its predecessor Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a highly readable and imaginative adventure story with real, fallible, characters, plenty of humour and, of course, loads of magic and spells. There is no need to have read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to enjoy this book. However, if you have read it, this is the book you have been waiting for...

An outstanding work of fiction Rowling has proved herself yet again to be a master of fantasy fiction in the second installment of the Hary Potter series. The characterisations initially developed in the 'Philosopher's Stone' are considered in depth by the author, allowing presumptions to be overturned, and the impossible to be considered. From the start of this work, adventure and excitement become codewords, allowing readers of any age to engage with the well written literature. Much recommended.
Big Potter Fan Here! This is the second book in the series of Harry Potter, here is the plot:
On his twelfth birthday, Dobby, a house-elf, visits Harry to warn him that he will be in earthly danger if he returns to Hogwarts. Harry ignores Dobby's terrible caution but is determined to return. Harry unintentionally gets sent to Knockturn Alley in a store that Draco Malfoy (Harry's foe) and his father, Lucius, are stopping by.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione try to find out who the Heir of Slytherin is. With the help of Ron... more info
This book is superb! I like Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets because it's mysterious, magical, surprising and scary .There's a surprise round every corner.
Uneventful Yet Undemanding It is evidence enough that there are a variety of interesting qualities and overbearing faults within the book, but overall Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets is at best an average read that just prolongs a series that apparently becomes more evolved and 'dark'. The lack of detail used to create events and keep readers attention isn't used to great effect at times and the silly description though engulfs the Hogwarts world at times into a place of fun, to me just turns it into a place of mockery.... more info
