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.

i liked all four books and can't wait till the fifth one comes out! i don't really have a favorite book because they were all wonderful!! daniel, rupert, and emma are my favorite characters!! they are all excellent so i can't really choose! (i went on a website) (mike@emma watson.com)(is the only e-mail address) they don't want to give out email or phone #'s. the harry potter series is awesome i agree!! i have read each book twice already!

I love Harry Potter books.Daniel Radcliffe's favourite book is the Chamber of Secrets, because it has a dark storyline. My favourite person is Ron, becuse I think he is cute.

I like all the books alot but my fave is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban best because Harry finds out he has a god father:Serious Black.

Does anybody know Emma Watsons email,if yes,please email it at KirstyK2003@yahoo.co.uk,thanks

I realy like this book. For those of you who don't Read the books just because you are afraid of WITCHCRAFT, THEN GET A LIFE. j.K. ISN'T doing anything wrong or illegal. Well anyways if you aren't one of those crazy fraidy cats, then I strongly advise you to read this book. The suspence always pulls you into the book.TextText
