Harry+Potter+and+the+Chamber+of+Secrets

The fabulous story I read was Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets. The author’s name was J.K. Rowling, and she is an excellent author. I would strongly recommend this book to someone who loves magic and mythical creatures. If I had to give it a rating I would give it a 9. I give it a 9 because overall it wanted to read more of it, but if it had a more interesting beginning I would rate it a 10. During the wonderful exposition I learn that Harry is at Hoggwarts for the second year in a row. Also Ron, Hermione, and Harry try to stay out of trouble like last year but they don’t. Also there is something that is on the loose, and it is terrorizing the school. Then Ron’s sister mysteriously disappears, and people in the start to turn in to stone and no one knows why. Then during the end of the rising action Harry finds what is causing the people to turn into stone and is off to fight it. During the climax Harry was expected to have an epic battle with something and that something was Voldermort and the basilisk. Also Harry almost parished during the battle, but Dumbledore’s phoenix was able to heal Harry. Thirdly Harry had slain the basilisk and Voldermort, but he is not gone yet. Lastly during the falling action Harry is aided by Dumbledore’s phoenix and helps everyone (Ron, Ron’s sister, Mr. Lockheart, and Harry) out of the chamber. Then as the resolution Harry receives glory from the school for slaying the bad guys. I think that my favorite character was Harry as always. He is my favorite because he gets all the exciting adventures and he is nice and kind to his friends. Also Harry likes to bend the rules if necessary to save the school or his friends. Honestly I would like to be Harry friend. On the other hand I really dislike Mr. Lockheart. He is a narrow-minded downright character. I think a reason why I hate him is because he is not a kind person overall. He is always trying to take credit for anything Harry does. Or he will tell Harry that he is not the center attraction. Like when Harry went to go and slay the basilisk Mr. Lockheart tried to use a forgetting charm but it backfired on him. Also I think that he deserves that for trying to take credit for Harry work. Another one of my favorite characters is Hermione because she is trustworthy and always resourceful. Furthermore the setting was in Hoggwarts School for witchcraft and wizardry, and below the girl’s bathroom on the third floor. I think it is a well ran school and it would be better if they stop giving so much homework to the students during there Christmas break or so much homework at all. Overall I think that Hoggwarts is an excellent school. Also it was described vibrantly. I felt like I was living the story and I felt the action, suspense, and thrill within the story. I think all of J.K. Rowling’s books are a work of art, especially this one. I think that the main theme in the story is doing what ever you have to help others and yourself to survive. I think that is the theme for all the Harry Potter books in the series. Also the books are filled with action and it keeps me on the edge of my seat. Also Harry has to slay the basilisk in order to save the school and himself from Voldermort. Eventually Harry gets into a routine were saving himself from Voldermort and the forces of dark magic users, and save the school. I would recommend any of the books in the series to people who love magic. Also J.K. Rowling kept me on the edge of my seat. With drama and excitement around every corner. I just want to read more of it but the book culminated and I had to read the next book to find out what would happen to Harry. Lastly I thought that this book was vibrant and wonderfully written. by:Brady
