n  Second Read Reviewn

This book was so much fun! And I honestly enjoyed it more than the first time I read it. I didn't know how much I forgot about this book until I reread it, so I probably enjoyed it very much because I mostly forgot many things in this book. So there are also some things that I want to talk about,

n   Gilderoy Lockhart n

He was so annoying and irked me so much. Especially in the scene where he set loose of pixies in Defence Against the Dark Arts class and he couldn't even fix this mess! And told Harry, Ron and Hermione to put them back in the cage and he left them, I was like " what the hell? " he's so unbelievable. But I must admit that he made me laugh like in the Duelling Club, he was disarmed by Snape and that scene was so funny until I laughed out loud.

I disliked him very much for lying about those stories! He's such a liar. Ugh. Oh and he deserved what he got in the end that he lost his memory because Ron's wand backfired at him.

n  Hermione Grangern

I was shocked when I realized that Hermione liked Lockhart. That guy was so annoying. Maybe he was charming BUT he didn't even know any useful spells, like when Harry broke his arm, he conjured a spell and that spell caused Harry to lose his bones in his arm! He just made it worse instead of helping him.

And even though I was shocked, I also laughed when I knew that Hermione put a Get Well card from lockhart under her pillow when she was in the hospital wing hahahahaha. I guess she really liked him. that scene was just so funny.

The magic of Rowling is captivating and spell-bounding.

Harry is back at the Dursleys' for his summer break. Their behaviour towards him haven’t changed much, but to the worse when they lock him up in his room with iron rods on all exists. Weasleys come for his rescue in their father’s flying car and Harry’s remaining summer holidays are spent in great spirit at their house.

Somehow Harry and Ron are not able to get through the wall for Hogwarts Train. They fly all the way to Hogwarts in Ron’s father’s flying car which gets them in a lot of trouble. Once again the Chamber of Secrets opened; many students were attacked and petrified including Hermione. Harry kills the basilisk who killed Myrtle long time ago and destroyed Tom Riddle’s (also known as Voldemort) book, which controlled Ginny Weasley’s thoughts and made her do all the attacks.

“It’s our choices, Harry, that shows what we truly are.” Dumbledore - best line!

RE-READ

Loved it despite it not being my favourite film or book!

FIRST REVIEW

Absolutely loved Chamber of Secrets! I will forever adore the Weasley twins.

EDIT: wow, Amber what a great review. But, I am now the owner of the illustrated version - not sure how to add that but oh well. I own it and it's good.

This was a cute middle grade book. Even though it was slow, I liked it a little more than the first book since at this point the world has already been established and now we get to see more of the characters and the setting. Ron and his family, especially the twins, are endearing. I also thought it was interesting seeing Harry’s internal struggle with whether he was truly Gryffindor or Slytherin, and the payoff later on about how it is our choices that show what we truly are. I didn’t like how the mystery was conveniently solved, the monologue of explanation from the villain at the end, and how Hermione was literally petrified throughout most of the book just so that she wouldn’t have figured everything out right away. But I’m glad to finally be done with this book so that, just like Dobby, I am free.

Overall, I loved this, and I can't wait to start Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban today.

Quick thoughts on the things that stood out to me:

Wow, the Dursleys were even more loathsome in this book than the first.
I love the Weasleys even more than I already did.
I am so glad my mother never sent me a Howler.
I thought Dobby was annoying in the movie (which I saw when it came out over a decade ago, not having read the book) but I thought he was awesome in the book. In fact, we rewatched the movie last night, and not only was it as unsatisfying as I remember it, it's just a shit adaptation of this book.
I thought it was delightful that the flying car went into the Forbidden Forest and went feral.
Tom Riddle's diary was really, really awesome. The entire idea and execution were fantastic.

I loved it when Dumbledore told Harry, "It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." I hope that, as the series goes on, we have more scenes with him, because I really love his wisdom.

My minor complaints seem a little nitpicky, and I suppose that if I'm going to suspend disbelief to accept that wizards are real, I should be able to accept that none of the adults at Hogwarts would look in Hermione's fist to see the paper that Harry and Ron found after she was Petrified and Fawkes somehow just found his way into the Chamber of Secrets, but I'm an adult and if I'd read this as a kid I wouldn't have cared for a single moment.

*Life lessons:

1. Don't trust too easily.

2. Unexpected grumpy people could mean everything in the end

4.5 stars

I don't regret many things in life and I don't really regret not reading this when I was younger but I do wonder what if.

I wish I had more bookish memories.
I wish I loved books the way only kids can.
But to not get lost in the wishing and the what-ifs, and to enjoy the now and the what's next, I must say I have the best of friends and I'm making the best of memories.
So to the old Fares that sees this one day, once you read this, you had fun and you were so very happy.

Thank you Azrah ❤

-----------------------------------------
The problem with having cool awesome friends is that when they ask you to do something you swore not to do, you can't help but say yes, just so you can impress them and hope they stay with you forever.
And now I must read this! I was fine being the cool kid, aka, he who never read HP, but now who am I?
Azrah, I hate you! Stop being too awesome for me!

THIS REVIEW, more like a rambling of opinions, MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS!

Still a five star read!
I still love Lee Jordan:
“Brilliant!" yelled Lee Jordan. "Inspired! What an entrance! Flying car right into the Whomping Willow, people´ll be talking about that one for years-”


We are introduced to one of my all time favorite characters, Dobby.



There´s still lots of great quotes, even though most will only make sense for those who´ve read the book.

“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”

“Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain?”

“Well, you're expelling us aren't you?" said Ron.
"Not today, Mr. Weasley."
Snape looked as though Christmas had been canceled.”

“When in doubt, go to the library.”

The characters are still amazing with a lot of humorous one-liners. This might be the only series where I, at least close to, love every character.

“Of all the trees we could've hit, we had to get one that hits back.”

“Honestly, if you were any slower, you’d be going backward.”

And the storyline is absolutely fantastic! J.K Rowling truly has a magical imagination.

Short "review", if you can even call this a review, because I´m heading strait in to Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

n  “You will also find that help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it.”n




Summer with the Dursleys has been excruciating. Cut-off from the magical world, Harry is alone.

He is more than excited to return to his favourite place in the world, Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry, but receives the strangest warning from a house elf. He tells him that Hogwarts will be a dangerous place for Harry to be this year.



But Harry doesn't want to stay with the Dursleys all year. So with the help of Ron and a flying car, Harry is off to his second year despite the spooky warning he received.

The year starts off normally, though when Harry begins to hear voices that no one else seems to hear and it becomes unsafe for students in the castle for fear of attack, he realizes that he should have taken that warning more seriously. Strange and dangerous things are indeed walking the halls of Hogwarts.

n  “It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”n


It's clear that there is an improvement in JKR's writing. What the Philosopher's Stone lacked, this book had.

The side characters are more fleshed out and we get to explore new parts of Hogwarts! I loved the ‘new’ characters introduced, like Dobby, Lockhart and Moaning Myrtle.



Lockhart was obviously very annoying sometimes but he brought a great element of humour that the story needed.

The mystery aspect of each of these books will always be a favourite, even if I already know what's going to happen.

It's the small details of everyday life at Hogwarts that makes this world seem so vividly real to me. I love finding all the Easter eggs that will come into play in the later books. It's so amazing how something as inconsequential as a wardrobe has its own significance that you'll only pick up on further down the road.

This re-read was the best idea and I'm having an awesome time slowly convincing Fares (who I'm buddy reading with) that this is an epic series.


______
My reviews for:

1:  Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone
3: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
4: Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire

Harry Potter reread...HARRY POTTER REREAD....already 2016 is looking awesome.

Reading with a few other Potter heads at Buddies Books and Baubles. Let the magic commence.

Me: Harry Potter Reread! YAY *squee*

Hubs: Seriously, you are rereading them. Haven't you read them already and watched all the movies.

Me: Yes....but I like to reread them every few years. They are magical like that and I want to jump back into that whole world again.

Hubs: *Blank Stare* but you already know what happens.

Me: That doesn't mean anything. Well it does, it means that I now have time to over-analyze the whole thing and catch little things I missed the first few times. That is the best thing about rereading the HP books.

Hubs: I don't understand....you could just watch the movies it would take less time.

Me: *blank stare* How did we ever end up together? The book is always better than the movie. Except Stardust and The Princess Bride those I liked the movies more.

Hubs: Inconceivable.

Me: There 'that' is how we ended up together.

Still it is amazing to me to reread these with a group of people and relive all the little things I'd forgotten along the way. I love growing up with Harry, Hermione and Ron all over again and going through all those trying times that solidify them as a great trio of friends.

Chamber of Secrets is so well done and I absolutely loved having the why would they ever hire Lockheart as a professor. Well....I now know definitively why according to JKR but we had some fun ideas too.

For a children's book I can't stress how well thought out all these are and the magical feeling I get when reading one. I'm almost always sad to realize that I'm probably a muggle *gasps* or a squib but either way I don't care I'll always try on occasion to cast a spell...because yes I have a wand and I'm convinced that one day it will work so I just have to keep trying.
