Max
I read "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and it was great! I guarantee you to read it to because it's action packed and if your one of those people who doesn't believe in magic, read it anyways! It'll probably give you a surprise!

The book I am talking about here is Harry Potter book two. I'm eight years old and this is one of the best books ever, at least I think that. Some people want to get it off the shelf. I definitely do not agree with them. I know the book has a few un expected things but that doesn't bother me. If parents are looking at this message let your kids read it, just don't let kids under 6 read it, it could be a little bit to scary and confusing to them. Lots of parents enjoy the fascinating adventure too. I also read the first book. Everything you read in this book is going to make you never want to put it down.

I read Harry Potter #2. It was outstanding. You won't believe who opened the Chamber of Secrets the first or second time. I encourage you to read this action packed book!!!!!!!!


Nicole
I really loved Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! It is full of mystery and fantasy! The ending was a real surprise!! I am know reading Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban! Harry Potter was also very good!


Nicole
The books keep getting better, starting at the thrilling Sorcerer's Stone, and getting better. Page after page is strung through with brilliant plot - a great book to escape in! The story of Harry Potter is the best book I've read in months. I was hooked, and I am quite sure that if anyone sits down to read it, they will find themselves enjoying it all the way through. I can't wait for the next!

I have read all the HP books that are out. [Year 1, 2 and 3] So have my parents, and we all agree that if you HAVE NOT read them then you should GO INTO A BOOK STORE and BUY THEM. They are the best books I've ever read, and I can't wait for book #4 to come out. My parents (I'm sure) can't wait either. But I wish the author would make it faster........

This book is delightful and keeps you captivated until the end. A definite must read. I enjoy the clever use of names and the vivid descriptions and details. It has a place on my bookshelf right next to Tolkien.


Curtis Hollis
This is one of the best out of the whole series and I'm sure they are to get better Mrs. Rowling is a great author and I think she deserves all the attention she's getting
