One of my favorite series ( ![]() One of my favorite Harry Potter books - I love the introduction of Dobby and the Moaning Myrtle, Lockheart's hilarious egocentrism and the mystery surrounding the Chamber of Secrets. NOTE: I do not support the author's actions and/or statements regarding the LGTBQ community and being transphobic. When you think about it, aspects of the book set up future books with Horcrux stuff. This was a very good sequel but it had less of a whimsical atmosphere and no wonder at new discoveries, in fact, this book was pretty bland compared to its predecessor. In the movies, I disliked Dobby but he's ok in this book. So gorgeous! Twenty years later and this is still a timeless classic I can enjoy over and over again. JK Rowling has such a gift for creating characters you want to cheer for, and a magical world that has its dangers, of course, but also those fantastical elements every kid dreams about. Her books are just such a treat... like those rare dreams where you can fly! I love "The Chamber of Secrets" for many reasons... the introduction of Ginny Weasley, who is one of my favorites, and all the cool history we learn about Hogwarts. Gilderoy Lockhardt made a perfectly obnoxious teacher this time around, and I loved the scenes with him and Harry. JK Rowling has a wicked sense of humor and so much dry wit! But I think my favorite thing is the way JK Rowling manages to weave in so much magical lore into the mystery of what's going on this time at Hogwarts... it's very much a wizarding book, a mystery, and thriller all in one, and she crafts it beautifully. 5/5 stars. Please excuse typos. Entered on screen reader.
The atmosphere Rowling creates is unique; the story whizzes along; Harry is an unassuming and completely sympathetic hero. But, truth to tell, you may feel as if you’ve read it all before. Rowling clearly hit on a winning formula with the first Harry Potter book; the second book — though still great fun — feels a tad, well, formulaic. Tras derrotar una vez más a lord Voldemort, su siniestro enemigo en Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal, Harry espera impaciente en casa de sus insoportables tíos el inicio del segundo curso del Colegio Hogwarts de Magia y Hechicería. Sin embargo, la espera dura poco, pues un elfo aparece en su habitación y le advierte que una amenaza mortal se cierne sobre la escuela. Así pues, Harry no se lo piensa dos veces y, acompañado de Ron, su mejor amigo, se dirige a Hogwarts en un coche volador. Pero ¿puede un aprendiz de mago defender la escuela de los malvados que pretenden destruirla? Sin saber que alguien ha abierto la Cámara de los Secretos, dejando escapar una serie de monstruos peligrosos, Harry y sus amigos Ron y Hermione tendrán que enfrentarse con arañas gigantes, serpientes encantadas, fantasmas enfurecidos y, sobre todo, con la mismísima reencarnación de su más temible adversario.
