Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

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. (Ages 9 to Adult). --Philippa Reece

Again another solid book - Rated
Taking Harry Potter for what it is meant to be, a light reading childrens book then this, like the first one, ticks all the boxes. Rowlings writing style has seemed to improve with this book, the sentences are not as stark as in the first book and the description a little more vivid. The plot has enough twists in it to keep it interesting though the ending does seem to be over in about ten pages or so, thats the main criticism I have with it but apart from that once again a nice solid read...

Better late than never - Rated
Just getting into this series - a bit late - but then I am 60. Enjoying them much to my surprise.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets - Rated
This is one of my favorites, harry and ron have been left in london due to not being able to get on the train to Hogwarts. Although, ron has an idea, we should use "dad's" car to get us to Hogwarts, as you can imagine, it does not go to plan!. A great book to read and fun for all age's. 10/10
