J.K. Rowling - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Review Summary
The second installment of J.K. Rowling's wildly popular fantasy series, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secretsfinds Harry about to begin his second year at Hogwarts school for the magically inclined. Evil forces are converging to lend a malevolent tone to this book. We also are introduced to Dobby, the house elf. Its not enough our young hero has to deal with Draco Malfoy, but a monster has been unleashed at the school and it is up to Potter to find the Slytherin heir who opened the Chamber of Secrets. One reviewer notes, "The second installment in the Harry Potter series is quite a bit darker than the first, and I think it's brilliant" Rowling maintains the elements of fantasy and whimsy while adding a darker sub-text. The story doesn't suffer however, "As usual excellent character development and creative story lines leads the reader on a grand parade"

The Case
When I finally got around to starting the Harry Potter series, I devoured book one. It was with great anticipation that I moved on to book two. I'm happy to report that I enjoyed it quite as much as the first! Though it doesn't tie in with the following books as much as I hoped it would,

Our second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry finds us in a race to save students from an evil and unknown entity that is attacking students.
This book is quite interesting, it is very entertaining for all ages, however for those of us who are a bit older and wiser there are parallels drawn in regards to racism and doing the right thing when no one is looking. This book flows really well, it's a bit wordy at some parts but that's the genius of JK Rowling she spins a plot unlike any other author that I have read.
Year two at Hogwarts begins like any other year, there are new...

The second enstallment of Harry Potter aids new characters, not so well rounded as our hero and his friends. These are the dark characters of Lucius Malfoy and some of his family and friends. It also itroduces the reader to Dobby a fresh, new and vital character. Dobby brings life into a story that at first seems to stahl.
Ms. Rowlings does seem to decide on a set course however and by the middle of the book the story is not so confusing. She leads us through paths of horror and susspense, laughter and tears.
As usuall excellent character development and creative story lines leads the reader...

Thank you again Rawling. Again, I couldn't put the book down. I love Harry, Ron, and Hermoine. My daughter and I just can't get enough. I love the Weasleys. The Chamber of Secrets is scary. I don't like snakes. I just love Harry's continued desire to solve a mystery and be the hero. He is great. A must read
