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.

i honestly was COMPLEATLY TERRIFYED for harry when i read this book, idk how jk rowling does this but she puts such a big of an image of the setting into my head that i feel like harry (IGNOR MY SPELLING) this book is the one that almost made me stop reading because of how scarry it was, (I WAS A WIMP BUT NOT AnYmOrE hEhE) i have read this book 3 times already and each time i read it i always feel like "RUN HARRY HE IS VOLDEMORT THE PERSON WITHOUT A NOSE..."

I hv read all the books and watched all the movies

Dobby doesnt want harry potter to go back to school so he blocks all his friends letters and prevents him from going on the train. and Ron. but he finds a way. he saves ginny weasley from tom riddle aka voldemort. Happy reading!

You won't believe how I started this book. Once I closed the back cover of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" I immediately opened the front cover of this book. Its slightly more intense and it's a bit longer. So, just read it. Enjoy it. Have fun with it like I did.

This book is amazing. Harry potter is so brave. I would have died of fright if a huge snake came out of the mouth of a giant statue. But I still found it amazing.

This book was good! Harry Potter is back at his favorite place- Hogwarts. He is happy to be back with Ron and Hermione. But things start to go wrong. Harry missed the train to Hogwarts, and he and Ron get in big trouble on the first day back. Things are still going wrong at Hogwarts. People are getting paralyzed, weird messages have been written in the corridors, and much more. And to make matters worse, their new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Gilderoy Lockhart, is the worst. Can Harry save Hogwarts-or at least get to the bottom of the problem? I give this book 5/5 stars! J.K. Rowling does it again by combining magic and friendship into this nerve wracking book. Happy reading!

I loved this book because It was very suspenseful and you get to meet two very awesome characters, Ginny, and Moaning Myrtle. Also it helps the next books connect. Lastly you get to meet one of the villain when he was a kid! I definitely recommend this book if you like fiction, magic, and you have read the first one.
