4.0

Delving deeper into the magical world of Harry Potter, the second in the series starts to bring in a bigger sense of intrigue with the story of the Chamber of Secrets and bringing in Lord Voldemort even more. 

Rereading this I love picking up sections that link and foreshadow to later in the series.

I enjoyed this book a lot and found it written very similarly to the Philosopher’s Stone so very easy to read.

I particularly enjoy how Lockhart is written and had a giggle to myself in a lot of lines!

The second book has the shortest story but it is told fully.

The way main character try to solve the mystery like ordinary pre-teens is really amazing

The story is simple but fun

One of my childhood favorites. We see more antics from Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they try and piece together the awful attacks happening at school. Some tense moments but they ultimately pull through and save the day.
