In one of the most hotly anticipated sequel in memory, J.K. Rowling takes up where she left off with Harry's second year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Old friends and new torments abound, including a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls' bathroom, an outrageously conceited professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, and a mysterious force that turns Hogwarts students to stone.

It is a great book that is kind of gross in parts. If you like the other books, you will love this one,. There are some parts that are a little scary for small children.

In this second book of the Harry Potter series, people are popping up frozen all over the place, and no one knows why. With potions brewing in the bathroom and a self-centered new teacher, this book is full of adventure.

This book has many surprises! This is Ginny Weasley's first year at Hogwarts! This year the main bad guy is an evil journal/epic serpent! Harry feels a little bit more comfortable at Hogwarts because he is no longer a first year.

I did Quiz. Did anyone else did it? I think it's Fun!

This is a great book! It is about Harry Potter who faces many difficult problems and challenges, like battling a giant snake. Harry Potter learns more about magic, and grows up to be a great wizard.

This book is my favorite book from the series. It is a very good book.

This is a great series so far and one of my favorite books. The mist exciting part for me was when Harry went into the Chamber of Secrets and rescued Ginny from Tom Riddle. This is a great book and I recommend it to anyone who likes action and adventure.

Ok, I like this book because I started the series with the second book. Iread them in this order 2, 1, 3, 7, 6, 4, and 5. So this is by far really good. It is about another of Harry's adventures . Ginny has joined Hogwarts and is in Gryffindor but Harry and Ron get in big trouble before school starts. Also Voldemort's back and the Basilisk needs a Parselmouth. Tom Riddle's diary, a sword, a secret chamber with a evil Basilisk, and Ginny Weasley are center of this book's plot. Read this book for an adventure of a lifetime!
