Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a book about a boy named Harry Potter that goes to a school called Hogwarts. In that school kids that are wizards learn to use magic. Harry is one of those wizards. His parents were killed by a powerful wizard named Voldamort. So now he lives with his aunt and uncle. Harry has two very good friends named Ron and Hermione. When Harry goes to school he starts to see signs that the chamber of secrets has been opened. This book was pretty good. Come on, just read the book already.
The Legend continues . . .

This book was better than the first but also had a lot more stuff that happened. It got progressively darker and there is even a mystery. I reccomend this book qiute highly. The movie left out 15% of the book.
Casting A Spell On The Reader
Rating:
4 / 5
"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is the second book in the well-loved "Harry Potter" series. Even though I've watched all of the films that have been released up to this point, this is only the second book that I've read. I have to admit that this tale is wonderful, but compared to the first book, it isn't quite as good. Don't get me wrong, this is a great read compared to many other novels out there, but it ended a little bit too abruptly for my tastes.
All of the characters from the first book return, excepting the Defense Against The Dark Arts teacher, who's been replaced by the glory hound Lockhart. Harry still has to deal with those wretched Dursleys, and he believes that his friends have forgotten about him. However, he happens to have a strange little visitor one night, Dobby, who warns him to not return to Hogwart's for his second year of wizarding school. Of course, Harry does manage to make it back to Hogwart's albeit not aboard the Hogwart's Express. He has to take a detour in order to get there.
This is just the first in a number of stumbling blocks and dead-ends that Harry and his friends run into. Not to mention the fact that someone or something is "petrifying" students at the school. Harry is also hearing voices through the walls of the school. Plus, he has to deal with Draco Malfoy and his cronies.
With Hagrid, Hermione, Ron, and Dumbledore, among others, on his side, Harry attempts to find out who or what is committing the multiple crimes at the school and clear his own name. It's a wonderful little mystery reader and I plan to pick up the third book as soon as I can.
Highly recommended.
