Another great installment in the series! I like this one because it is the beginning of some of the darker elements we see in the series.

It is also our low-key introduction to the horcruxes…and we see how to destroy them too! I love rereading these and seeing this moment again, because it is so cleverly written. It makes so much sense by the time we get to the last book.

I swear each time I read this book Lockhart becomes more and more insufferable, haha. He is actually the worst and I hate how cocky he is when he knows noTHING. Either he or Umbridge have to be the worst characters in this series hahaha.

I genuinely love this book and love getting to know our main characters on an even deeper and more personal level. The character development is already happening early on in the series for Harry, Ron, & Hermione, which leads the way for the rest of the series. I love the way that they learn and grow each installment of the series. It really turns them into the people that they are meant to be by the end of the series.

Overall, I have always loved Chamber of Secrets because the last quarter of this book is actually insane. So much happens and the climax of this book is impossible to put down. It sucks you into the world and has you screaming and begging that Harry is going to make it. This is another installment that just makes me instantly want to pick up the next book in the series. Time for Prisoner of Azkaban now! I rate this book 5/5 stars! 🌟

3 out of 5 ☆’s.

”It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”

While I enjoyed the fact that we were able to jump into the Hogwarts happenings right off of the bat in this book - I didn’t enjoy CoS as much as I enjoyed its predecessor. 

I cannot pinpoint what it was that stopped me from enjoying this book more…I think this plot just didn’t intrigue me as much? ://
