Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a fantasy novel written by British author J. K. Rowling and the second novel in the Harry Potter series. The plot follows Harry's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, during which a series of messages on the walls of the school's corridors warn that the "Chamber of Secrets" has been opened and that the "heir of Slytherin" would kill all pupils who do not come from all-magical families. These threats are found after attacks that leave residents of the school petrified. Throughout the year, Harry and his friends Ron and Hermione investigate the attacks. The book was published in the United Kingdom on 2 July 1998 by Bloomsbury and later in the United States on 2 June 1999 by Scholastic Inc. Although Rowling says she found it difficult to finish the book, it won high praise and awards from …

A marvellous plot that leaves nothing to be desired

After the first book had turned out to be so great, I could hardly wait for this one.

At first, Rowling makes the mistake of copying the structure of the first book so that it starts at the insufferable Dursleys again, then there is a journey to Hogwarts which ends in a welcome dinner, and so on. However, once the proceedings at the school are underway, she presents us with a marvellous plot that leaves nothing to be desired: everything that is mentioned is woven in at some point and plays its part towards the very satisfactory end.

3.5 Stars. Rounding down because she doesn’t deserve rounding up.

As said previously and what will be said in future comments, I’m coming from a place of not having a pre-established relationship with this series. My bias against the author is always going to bleed into her work and muddy my perception. I am a bitter man with only a droplet of joy left in his heart and I’d be mad to spend it on some rich git who’d call me a slur slathered in a gaudy varnish of transphobic dog whistles. That being said:

After a very shaky start from Philosopher’s Stone, Year 2 of Hogwarts showcases significant improvement, but you wouldn’t know that from the first chunk. It takes Harry a wholloping seventy-odd pages to get himself out of his absurd-yet-upsetting-to-sift-through home situation. Rowling continues to treat fat people as subhuman, and her descriptions of the Dursleys have …

Jeg leste denne for første gang da jeg var 20. Min tanke da var at den var hakket bedre enn første, men jeg var ikke videre fornøyd. Og mens gjenlesinga av bok 1 var en positiv overraskelse, ble jeg mindre fenga av denne. Jeg lurer på om det er fordi det tilsynelatende er et mysterium de skal oppklare, men de egentlig gjør svært lite for å nøste opp i det hele. Det virker som om skoleåret ruller og går mens de stanger hodet i veggen uten å komme noe vei. Det er ikke like spennende når løsningene stadig vekk blir servert av andre og/eller tilfeldigheter. (Hadde Hermine ikke vært satt ut av spill store deler av boka, hadde de kanskje nøsta opp i det raskere.) ...Eller er det andre grunner som jeg ikke helt klarer å sette ord på. Lesinga var likevel fornøyelig da jeg hadde episoder av Potter-generasjonen på …

Journey through year two of Hogwarts with Ron, Hermione, and Harry. Reading this book again, I'm remembering how much I dislike Gilderoy Lockhart--why, oh why, is he such a flat, two-dimensional character? For a series with such interesting characters with so many layers, Gilderoy is a true disappointment. Book two follows much of the same pattern as book one. Harry is living with the Dursleys, they are mean to him, he leaves for Hogwarts, he gets into difficulties, and then the big mystery / drama is solved by our fearless trio. Enjoy!
