Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets.
J.K. Rowling
Do you know what wizards study? Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secret is about a boy wizard. This book's author is J.K Rowing, and it's about fantasy at the wizard's school. Harry Potter is the boy who is the main character in the story. Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets is the second episode of the Harry Potter series. It's about the second term of Hogwarts school. In this story, he drove the flying car with his friend Ron, and he met a big problem about the Chamber Of Secrets that was connected to Voldemort. Then Harry needed fight to Voldemort again. Also within the story, it showed about the giant spider, Aragog, and the scary terrible snake, Basilisk. I think it is more interesting than the first episode, and you should read this book.
I'll explain the three important characters in the story. First, the main character, Harry Potter, is a dynamic character, and he is the protagonist. Harry is courageous, and sometimes he is so curious. He is thin and wears glasses. He has scar of Voldemort's attack, also he can talk to snakes (that is an important part of the chamber of secrets). Next is Harry's best friend, Ron Weasly. I don't think he is an important character, but he almost helped Harry. He is a static character, and he is a secondary character. Ron has red hair, blue eyes, and he looks absurd. Because he is impulsive, he does very ridiculous things, but he is very helpful to Harry. At last is Tom Marvolo Riddle. He really is Volemort. He is a dynamic character too, and he is the antagonist. He killed Harry's parents and he abhors Dombledore. But now Voldemort is dead, though he still has magic and his memory lives in the diary. He is so mean and he can give orders to Basilisk.
I like this book, because it is about fantasy and wizards, and it shows very interesting and serious problems in each episode. That makes it a more interesting book. This book has very serious and terrible events happening to Harry because of Voldemort. But the main character, Harry Potter, conquers each problem. The interesting things are within the plot of the story. When I read Harry Potter, I think it is the most interesting fantasy novel in my book list. Then I want say to you, "Read Harry Potter. You can learn the world of wizards."
Summary of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Book 2)
A special library binding for the Harry Potter seriesWhat makes the Harry Potter series so successful? Maybe it's the fact that J.K. Rowling doesn't write children's books, she writes children's stories, more in the tradition of the Brothers Grimm than Dr. Seuss. The exploits of Harry and his friends captivate even the shortest attention spans by engaging the imagination with vivid characters and fast-moving action, instead of trying to merely catch the eye with colorful pictures or pop-up effects. Not surprisingly, the Potter tales sound wonderful read aloud, and adapt to the audiobook format extremely well. Broadway actor Jim Dale's impressive vocal range gives each character in the book its own distinctive voice--a considerable task, given the pantheon of witches, warlocks, ghosts, ghouls, dwarves, and elves that Harry encounters in his second outing. And thankfully, since the book is read unabridged, no one's favorite character is omitted. Engaging for children without being childish, the audio version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is worthy addition to the deservedly popular series.
