Hi everyone,

Okay....so you can talk about the book but, I got some great questions for all you Harry Potter fans!! In the book Harry Potter chamber of secrets, what message was the author trying to get across? What was her purpose/point? What was the lesson or moral of the story? What can the reader of today learn from this story? :-)

Nazhirah

This book is an excellent book for all ages! I absolutely enjoyed this book.


Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by: J.K. Rowling
A great and dark thrilling adventure that kids and young teens would love to read over and over again!!

All Harry ever wanted was the summer to be over and that he could go back to Hogwarts School for witchcraft and wizardry and be with his friends Ron and Hermione. But as you know that the Dursleys despised Harry and would never want him to be happy, the Dursleys locked him up in his room hoping he would never go back to that retched school ever again. But as you know Harry, he always finds a way to escape from his wicked aunt and uncle.

In Harry's second year at Hogwarts, new horrors happen in the school, a ghost named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, including an arrogant new professor, Gilderoy Lockhart, and a new student in Hogwarts School, Ginny Weasley, Ron’s younger sister.
In this book the story is much darker than the first. You’ll see a much darker side of everyone than the first. Much of the students such as Harry, Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, and all the professors are getting much more serious on who opened the chamber of secrets and what he/she has unleashed from it.

This fascinating book has the pure qualities of a great and thrilling adventure. Every time you read a page you would want to read another page, and then another, and another, until you realized that you’ve finished over half the book. This book will keep you off your seat. As I’m finished reading the book, in a rating scale of 1-5 I would rate this a 5.
