Review on Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." CHILLS. (REREAD) Okay DUH v/5 stars. I actually liked this volume more I remembered! This used to be my least favorite of the Harry Potter books and, while that still might be truthful, I was more entertained than I expected! I e'er forget how dissimilar Book Ginny is from Picture show Ginny (way better all around) and how she has such a bigger role in the books than the films. NOW ONTO HP AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN!
JK Rowling really knows how to write a great volume, thats for certain! Although this wasn't my favorite book in the series, it definitely wasn't because it was bad. I loved the plot and disharmonize, even though it wasn't equally intense equally the others were. I was definitely shocked at the end...and then ballsy and mind blowing!

Notes: A bit banal at times, with less wonder and discovery than before, only finishes well with a more satisfying determination.
Standing my reread with the illustrated editions! Gotta go through this i so that my daughter can start it next. <iii ********************* "Information technology is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." What can I say that hasn't been said before almost this series? What words can do this volume justice? I've felt at a loss on how to explain my feelings for these books equally I've read them. I didn't feel them every bit a child and therefore my experience is conspicuously different than almost others on here, but in some ways I think it's only every bit magical to read these for the beginning time as an developed as it was for everyone who devoured these every bit they were published in their childhood. I take kids, then I was constantly wondering how my 5 year old volition have these books when she'due south a chip older and tried to view the story through her eyes. The holidays are e'er a decorated, stressful time for u.s.. All of our family unit is a hefty altitude to travel to and, on top of that, we're moving into our new place this calendar month. All I could think virtually was how desperately I wanted to escape all of my adult responsibilities for just a bit each mean solar day, and this was the perfect book to do and so with. No affair your age, the magical world of Hogwarts is truly spectacular; the characters are such that they stay with yous even after the last page is turned and the writing takes you dorsum to a identify you weren't certain existed for u.s. old farts anymore. If you have been hiding under a stone for the past 20 years like I have, I highly encourage y'all pick these books up and go swept away like I did. Time is a precious commodity these days, and yous couldn't spend information technology in a amend mode than with these precious kiddos.
I love this book, of course I practise, merely the fact remains that this book prominently featured two of my most hated Harry Potter characters. Ginny Weasley and Dobby. There, I said information technology. I detest them both. In my Harry Potter hate listing, Ginny and Dobby probably rank somewhere below Umbridge and Peter Pettigrew. Yeah, you heard me. I hate them that much. The reason I detest Ginny is---well, never mind. I don't desire to offset another shipping war here, the last one was terrible enough, so let the reason for my hatred exist implicit and unsaid. Dobby is freaking abrasive, yo. All his eagerness and shit - and yeah, I know what happens in the terminate. Doesn't affair. I still hate Dobby. Dobby is the equivalent of fingernails on chalkboard for me. If he had been my elf, I'd have given him a sock already and so he could his whimpering, sniveling ass out of my life. He means well, I know he does, information technology's just that he's such a frustratingly well-meaning bumbling idiot. "You know what, Harry? If he doesn't stop trying to salvage your life he's going to kill y'all."
Aaaaaaaand one final note. "Ginny!" said Mr. Weasley, flabbergasted. "Haven't I taught y'all anything. What have I always told y'all? Never trust anything that can think for itself if you tin can't see where it keeps its brain?"
No particular reason I included that, except for the fact that it reminded me of my ex-boyfriend :3

Notes: A clever conjuration, it's a cozy castle mystery, a creature-fest, and Ripper-esque: lit by monsters, ghosts, and history.
This was a beautiful heart grade book. Even though it was slow, I liked it a lilliputian more than than the first volume since at this indicate the earth has already been established and now we get to see more of the characters and the setting. Ron and his family unit, especially the twins, are endearing. I besides idea it was interesting seeing Harry's internal struggle with whether he was truly Gryffindor or Slytherin, and the payoff after on almost how it is our choices that show what nosotros truly are. I didn't like how the mystery was conveniently solved, the monologue of explanation from the villain at the end, and how Hermione was literally petrified throughout about of the book just so that she wouldn't take figured everything out right away. But I'm glad to finally exist done with this book then that, just similar Dobby, I am free.
"My late lamented lords, ladies, and gentlemen," Every time y'all loved the beginning volume of a serial, and then start reading the second - eagerly waiting for the story to continue - in that location'due south always the apprehension, that things might non exist as neat equally the first. Well, Sleeping room of Secrets will convince you otherwise: everything keeps getting better. "Have you e'er heard of a plan where so many things could go wrong?" I was glad to find everything I loved about the first volume still applicable to the second. Information technology'll be a bit redundant if all those plus points were to be repeated here, but yet, I cannot refrain from mentioning how easy it is to read the story. In no way I'm implying that the narration is evidently or but too simple - for it is definitely not the case - just it is just one polish flow. The story itself is much more detailed than the showtime ane, mainly because setting up of environment and characters were done in the original. Though I didn't experience so before, in hindsight, the get-go book now feels like an introduction to the series, and this as the showtime real take a chance. "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." And again, it's incommunicable not to outset reading the next i immediately. "Regrowing bones is a nasty business."
"The best of us must sometimes eat our words,"
Re-read sound 2017 ♥ Okay, I'thousand going to do a lilliputian *spoilery* in this review and so those of you that haven't read the book then y'all might just desire to look at the pictures. I take picked a ton of pictures from the book but believe me, there are enough more beautiful ones in the book. Plus, if your a Harry Potter fan you volition be getting the volume anyhow if you lot haven't already! Then poor Harry is stuck back with the Dursley's on Privet Bulldoze. And even though Harry is a relative, they still care for him like poo because he's magical. Ewwwwww. Harry is depressed because he has be cutting off from talking to his friends or getting any kind of correspondence. Fifty-fifty poor Hedwig has been locked in her cage and hasn't been able to fly effectually. CRUEL! But Harry tin can't apply magic within the muggle world. Then Harry meets Doby - the little business firm-elf that is waiting for him in his room. Information technology turns out that Doby has been intercepting his correspondence because he fears for Harry's life and doesn't want him to render to Hogwarts. So Doby causes some problems at the house that become Harry in trouble. I had to add this cute niggling film of Doby running off, expect at his little barrel. lol ↓ And then one night, Ron, George and Fred pull up outside Harry's window in their dads flying car to salve Harry. Information technology's pretty funny how they get it all going merely that is okay as long as Harry gets away from his evil relatives. Of form, Mrs. Weasley is not pleased when they go back home. The sneaking out part didn't work very well, but she welcomed Harry with open arms and he stayed with them until it was time for them all to go back to school. I dearest that picture of the Weasley house =) Life at The Couch was as dissimilar as possible from life in Privet Drive. The Dursleys liked everything keen and ordered; the Weasleys' house flare-up with the foreign and unexpected. Harry got a daze the commencement time he looked in the mirror over the kitchen mantlepiece and information technology shouted, 'Tuck your shirt in, scruffy!' The ghoul in the cranium howled and dropped pipes whenever he felt things were getting also tranquillity, and small explosions from Fred and George's sleeping accommodation were considered perfectly normal. What Harry establish most unusual about life at Ron's, nevertheless, wasn't the talking mirror or the clanking ghoul: it was the fact that everybody there seemed to like him Poor sugariness Harry and I would love to live with the Weasleys' for a bit =) Look at cute, fat little Scabbers ↓ The kids are going to meet Hermione to get some shopping washed. Merely ole Harry takes a wrong turn downward the chimney hole and ends up in some creepy shop. He hides and gets to hear some things Malfoy and his father are talking most. Finally Harry makes it out of the store and Hagrid finds him and gets him to the right place with his friends. Then Ron and Harry are blocked from getting on the railroad train soooooo back to stealing the flying auto. AND of course they get into trouble when they become to Hogwarts simply it wasn't anything also bad. Snape looked as though Christmas had been cancelled. He cleared his pharynx and said. 'Professor Dumbledore, these boys have flouted the Decree for the Restriction of Underage Wizardry, caused serious damage to an erstwhile and valuable tree . . . surely acts of this nature . . . At that place is a new Defence Against the Night Arts professor named Gideroy Lockhart. He's a bit off but still . . . Anyway things are non right at Hogwarts. (are they e'er?) And Harry and the gang must figure out what'south going on. Poor ole Hagrid gets sent off to Azkaban for something he didn't do! Malfoy is a jerk, every bit if nosotros didn't know that. lol Harry and Ron go out in the woods to come across Aragog the spider that is friends of Hagrid to detect out some truth backside some stuff. Comes to find out there is this diary of a person named Tom Riddle. I'm non telling yous who this person actually is only they are the one causing all kinds of trouble for a lot of people. In the finish Harry has to cease upwards fighting a Basilisk to set things right. He has the help of the sorting hat for reasons, Dumbledore's Phoenix and a sword. Oh happy day! There is loads more to the book and then the things I have described but y'all can just read information technology and if you oasis't, why haven't you? Harry Potter rocks and always volition. At that place is another happy ending for sweet Doby! ♥ Harry gives Dobby his stinky sock so this releases Doby. He now has his liberty from the evil Lucius Malfoy! Woot! 'Come, Dobby, I said, Come!' This book is wonderful, it always has been and always volition, and the graphics in this book brand it even amend. ♥ MY BLOG: Melissa Martin's Reading List
'Information technology will be for Professor McGonagall to make up one's mind on these boys' punishments, Severus,' said Dumbledore calmly. 'They are in her house and are therefore her responsibility.' He turned to Professor McGonagall. 'I must go dorsum to the feast, Minerva, I've got to give out a few notices. Come, Severus, there's a delicious-looking custard tart I desire to sample.' 
But Dobby didn't motility. He was property up Harry's disgusting, slimy sock, and looking at it as though it were a priceless treasure.
'Master has given Dobby a sock,' said the elf in wonderment. 'Master gave information technology to Dobby.'
'What's that?' spat Mr. Malfoy. 'What did you say?'
'Dobby has got a sock,' said Dobby in atheism. 'Master threw information technology, and Dobby caught information technology, and Dobby-Dobby is free.'
Lucius Malfoy stood frozen, staring at the elf. So he lunged for Harry.
'You've lost me my retainer, boy!'
Simply Dobby shouted, 'Y'all shall not harm Harry Potter!'
There was a loud bang, and Mr. Malfoy was thrown backwards. He crashed down the stairs, three at a time, landing in a crumbled heap on the landing below. He got up, his face livid, and pulled out his wand, only Dobby raised a long threatening finger.
'Y'all shall go now,' he said fiercely, pointing downwardly at Mr. Malfoy. 'Yous shall not bear on Harry Potter. You shall go now.'
Lucius Malfoy had no choice. With a last, incensed stare at the pair of them, he swung his cloak around him ad hurried out of sight.
"Information technology is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." And here I go with some other one of my short "My thoughts about this book" reviews. I can't believe that I forgot so many things. Like for instance the fact that Dumbledore actually was a Transfiguration teacher before he became headmaster. Kinda suitable that this is McGonagall's role now. ;-) 1.) "Harry Potter asks if he can aid Dobby … Dobby has heard of your greatness, sir, but of your goodness, Dobby never knew…" Aww Dobby! It was so good to see him over again! He's actually one of the best HP characters ever and this fifty-fifty though he made it kind of tough to similar him. *lol* Well, at least at the beginning. Poor Harry! XD ii.) "Your sons flew that auto to Harry's house and back last nighttime!" shouted Mrs Weasley. "What have you got to say about that, eh?" I'll always love how Mr Weasley is more interested in finding out if the car flew well than in his kids actually flying the automobile! *lol* Also Molly Weasley giving him hell for not reacting the way a responsible parent is supposed to is just epic! Haha! Those two. You tin can see they have a great marriage! ;-P iii.) "Mr Weasley had a cut lip and Mr Malfoy had been hitting in the heart by an Encyclopedia of Toadstools." How could I forget that Mr Weasley threw himself at Malfoy? 1 of the best things in this book ever! Not that I back up violence (I'm a pacifist) but even I can't help appreciating that Lucius Malfoy for once, really had his ass handed to him. XD 4.) "That vanishing chiffonier was extremely valuable!" he was saying gleefully to Mrs Norris. "Nosotros'll have Peeves out this time, my sweet." How come I never noticed this earlier?! The foreboding!!! OMG! Like damn, in that location are so many things that are mentioned only briefly and rather casually and then when yous continue to read the serial they reappear with a vengeance! O_o With every book I read I'm more and more awed by J.K Rowling's genius! v.) "Homework: etch a verse form most my defeat of the Wagga Wagga werewolf! Signed copies of Magical Me to the writer of the all-time ane!" Gilderoy Lockhart is so total of himself! I swear he must take been the worst DADA teacher they ever had. And they had many over the years which fifty-fifty Dumbledore can't deny. Loved that fleck at the ending when he said he'd accept to write an ad because they "seem to run through them". *lol* 6.) "You lot are Muggle-born?" There definitely was a history lesson hidden in there. It's fascinating how Riddle of all people could be a half-blood and so go against Muggle born wizards! I'm sure J.K. Rowling thought most World War Two when she wrote this, because all the pure-blood and half-claret etc. stuff reminds me of a very dark affiliate in German language history… >_< 7.) "But why's she got to become to the library?" Did anyone notice how well Ron knows Hermione? And how often he defended her in this book? I mean he actually would have fought Malfoy with his bare hands if Harry and Dean would accept allowed information technology! It's so obvious that Ron cares about her deeply! To vomit snails without complaining almost information technology should count as the ultimate indication of eternal love and affection! *LOL* viii.) "Of form," she said, and Harry, amazed, saw a tear glistening in her beady center. McGonagall losing it was another not bad moment in this volume! When y'all least expect it she always shows some kindness and heart and to be honest this never ceases to astonish me! XD She'south a slap-up instructor and I'chiliad not surprised that she always takes over when Dumbledore isn't around. 9.) "Yous're in luck," said Harry, forcing Lockhart to his anxiety at wandpoint. "We call up we know where it is. And what's within it. Let's go." I just beloved Harry, okay?! *lol* For such a immature kid he certainly has a lot of guts and backbone! The way he dealt with Lockhart? I think not even an adult magician could have washed it any better. XD The sheer audacity to demand aid from him like that. YES! Haha! <3 ten.) I Tin'T BELIEVE ROWLING ALREADY MENTIONED THIS IN Book TWO!!! I hateful Harry quite literally said that Voldemort put a flake of himself in him!!! A part of his soul!!! It's so obvious that Harry is a Horcrux!!! GAH!!! Information technology's all there and I never saw it!!! That's just brilliant! Dumbledore must have known all along! I really need to reread the entire serial because I can't call back if he already knew it right from the beginning or if information technology was only a theory at first. I can't wait to read "The Prisoner of Azkaban"! I'm afraid information technology might take to wait until side by side year though! And so many books, so piffling time! ;-) ______________________________ As always I loved this! <3 I'g already reading 6 books, Plus 2 of my six books volition be finished soon so this ways that I'll be down to five again which is my usual amount. XD Look at me being all reasonable and responsible. Haha! ;-P But honestly, practise I even need a reason to read Harry Potter?
"Did y'all really?" said Mr Weasley eagerly. "Did it go all right? I-I mean," he faltered, as sparks flew from Mrs Weasley'south eyes, "that-that was very wrong, boys – very wrong indeed …"
"Half-blood, sir," said Riddle. "Muggle father, witch mother."
"Because that's what Hermione does," said Ron, shrugging. "When in doubt, go to the library."
And boy there were so many hints! The foreboding is real in this 1! *lol*
Also I kinda like that every book ends with the school yr and that there's no cliff-hanger! I never idea about this just HP is so successful and this even though in that location are never cliff-hangers. XD (Well, at least non in the strict sense...)
Must be magic! ;-P
