Back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his second year, Harry hears strange whispers echo through empty corridors - and then the attacks start. Students are found as though turned to stone... Dobby's sinister predictions seem to be coming true.

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Harry Potter Illustrated Box Set

Taryn

Ever since Harry Potter had come home for the summer, the Dursleys had been so mean and hideous that all Harry wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he’s packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange impish creature who says that if Harry returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike.

And strike it does. For in Harry’s second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor and a spirit who haunts the girls’ bathroom. But then the real trouble begins – someone is turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects… Harry Potter himself!

Harry Potter #2

“You’d  better hope Creevey doesn’t meet Ginny, they’ll be starting a Harry Potter fan club” ~ Ron 

Endlich wieder Schule!!! Einen solchen Seufzer kann nur der ausstoßen, dessen Ferien scheußlich und die Erinnerung an das vergangene Schuljahr wunderbar waren: Harry Potter. Doch wie im Vorjahr stehen nicht nur Zaubertrankunterricht und Verwandlung auf dem Programm. Ein grauenhaftes Etwas treibt sein Unwesen in den Gemäuern der Schule - ein Ungeheuer, für das nicht einmal die mächtigsten Zauberer eine Erklärung finden. Wird Harry mit Hilfe seiner Freunde Ron und Hermine das Rätsel lösen und Hogwarts von den dunklen Mächten befreien können?

Viel mehr als unsere Fähigkeiten sind es unsere Entscheidungen, Harry, die zeigen, wer wir wirklich sind.

Harry Potter e a câmera dos segredos

Beatriz Carvalho

São as nossas escolhas, Harry, que mostram quem de facto nós somos, mais do que as nossas capacidades.

- Deves ter demonstrado uma grande lealdade para comigo. Só isso poderia levar a Fawkes a ir ajudar-te.

Dobby só poder ser libertado se os donos lhe derem roupa, senhor.

- Porque é que alguém se lembraria de festejar o dia em que morreu?

O Dobby ser um elfo doméstico, obrigado a servir uma casa e uma família para sempre.

Eu vou ficar no meu quarto, sem fazer barulho e fingindo que não estou lá.

You're running away? After all that stuff you did in your books?

My dear boy, do use your common sense! My books wouldn't have sold half as well if people didn't think 

“I!” said Aragog, clicking angrily. “I was not born in the castle. I come from a distant land. A traveler gave me to Hagrid when I was an egg. Hagrid was only a boy, but he care d for me, hidden in a cupboard in the castle, feeding me on scraps from the table. Hagrid is my good friend, and a good man. When I was discovered, and blamed for the death of a girl, he protected me. I have lived here in the forest ever since, where Hagrid still visits me. He even found me a wife, Mosag, and you see how our family has grown, all through Hagrid’s goodness….”

Harry summoned what remained of his courage.

“So you never – never attacked anyone?”

“Never,” croaked the old spider. “It would have been my instinct, but out of respect for Hagrid, I never harmed a human. The body of the girl who was killed was discovered in a bathroom. I never saw any part of the castle but the cupboard in which I grew up. Our kind like the dark and the quiet….”

“Strangers,” clicked the spider who had brought Ron.

“Kill them,” clicked Aragog fretfully. “I was sleeping….”

However, you will find that I will only truly have left this school when none here are loyal to me.

Help will always be given at Hogwarts to those who ask for it

“It’s all over,” he said. “I’m going to have to turn you in, Rubeus. They’re talking about closing Hogwarts if the attacks don’t stop.”

“I don’t think you meant to kill anyone. But monsters don’t make good pets. I suppose you just let it out for exercise and –”

“It never killed no one!” said the large boy, backing against the closed door. From behind him, Harry could hear a funny rustling and clicking.

“Come on, Rubeus,” said Riddle, moving yet closer. “The dead girl’s parents will be here tomorrow. The least Hogwarts can do is make sure that the thing that killed their daughter is slaughtered….”

“It wasn’t him!” roared the boy, his voice echoing in the dark passage. “He wouldn’! He never!”

“Stand aside,” said Riddle, drawing out his wand.

“You live in a Muggle orphanage during the holidays, I believe?” said Dippet curiously.

“Yes, sir,” said Riddle, reddening slightly.

“Half-blood, sir,” said Riddle. “Muggle father, witch mother.”

“My mother died just after I was born, sir. They told me at the orphanage she lived just long enough to name me – Tom after my father, Marvolo after my grandfather.”

Dippet clucked his tongue sympathetically.

Such a fun read! Can’t wait for book 3 🤗

Actually forgot that this book was a little scary. Still a clever little plot imo. How long do you think it’ll take me to finish rereading the whole series

-Harry going to Ron’s home and thinking it’s the greatest thing he’s ever seen was adorable

-Lockheart was just there like bro had no purpose but I thought after he lost his memory and was like “ I don’t have a sword that boy does though he can lend it to you” was funny

-Ginny’s crush on Harry was so cute and he was so worried about her when she was in the chamber

-The Weasley’s are feral they be trying to fight anyone once somebody they love is disrespected (Fred and George trying to beat up Draco for calling Hermione a mudblood, Ron also trying to defend Hermione and saying he’ll kill Draco with his bare hands,Ginny telling Draco to shut up - notice how the problem is always Draco -)

-everyone being like has Dumbledore come back? Have they found the heir of Slytherin? And Oliver Wood being like is quidditch back on was hilarious and really speaks to his priorities

-poor ginny she just wanted to write about her feelings and instead got traumatised

-dobby has the right intentions just went about it the wrong way he’s super cute though so he’s forgiven

However, I must admit that I enjoyed the first part much more. Toward the end, the story lost momentum very quickly, and in my opinion, there was little to no suspense left.

Nevertheless, I’m looking forward to "The Prisoner of Azkaban," as it sounds very exciting so far.

The book is well-written overall.

4.5/5 

So fun and immersive, not quite as well written as Sorcerer's Stone!

Emily

I don't have much to say besides, I'm glad I don't have to think too much about Gilderoy anymore.

Honestly you can't beat this nostalgia!!! Full potter head and hufflepuff but haven't read the full series yet and haven't read the first few since elementary school lol. I love getting deeper into learning the characters and really enjoying the world building. I've been annotating and tabbing this book while I'm reading and it's really fun!!

My favorite of the series. It was down hill from here.

Maria

always found this to be the weakest in the series, and looks like it hasn’t changed. i did enjoy seeing small clues for later important plots in the series being mentioned, and i do think one thing that’s really well done is the general atmosphere of everyday life at hogwarts. but plot-wise this has just never worked that well for me. i’m also already exhausted of villain monologues. voldemort talks too much that’s why he never gets the job done.

Rodrigo Figueiredo Severino

This was miles better then the first book. Having seen the movies I was very afraid I’d never enjoy the books much due to knowing what happens. But I was wrong. This book was fantastic.

Being a mystery fan, this book was just right up my alley. It almost felt like a slow burn at times in terms of how much the main storyline moved along, but at the same time since the main trio was always up to some trouble it never really got boring and the payoff to the buildup was great. I honestly did not remember who the culprit was and how they did it and it was fascinating going trough it again, specially with that much more detail and explanation that they give out in the book compared to the movie.

Overall this just worked for me, both from a character standpoint (I already knew the characters and they spent less time antagonizing Hermione in a not so funny way, which made me get attached to everyone) and from a story standpoint, where the actual main plot was very evident in this one, whereas as the first book was more introductory, the plot was much more all over the place.

I've said it before & I'll say it once again: If Harry Potter is good when you read it for the first time, it only gets better when you reread it.

Jim Dale is mind-blowing. Harry Potter are the first audiobooks I've ever listened to, but I know no one will every be as a good narrator as he is. He gives a different tones to each character, not just reading their lines, but acting them. He seriously adds to the whole experience. 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Harry Potter & I definitely think the audiobooks deserve to be heard as much as the books deserve to be read.

am i reading a book or am i showering in a warm delicious chocolate milk? because reading this gives me that sweet and comfy feeling that i totally need right now. 

funfact: this was the first harry potter book i read when i was little (i think i didn't have the first book back then, so i skipped it)

Imba phoenix brutalises poor enslaved snake so the climax can be carelessly stuffed into an editor's wordcount intray. We didn't even get to see the mandrakes suffer with the nihilistic dread of early adulthood!

Having seen all the movies before reading the books, it’s been a little challenging to read these “for the first time.” I’m going to have to watch the movies again to see how they compare with the books.

Jacob Edmonds

I loved this book so much!

I CANT EXPLAIN THE AMAZINGNESSS. Already off to start the next! Man, these are the BEST.

In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the summer after Harry's first year at Hogwarts has been his worst summer ever... the Dursleys more distant and horrible than ever before. But just as he's packing his bags to return to school, a creature named Dobby the house-elf announces that if Harry goes back to Hogwarts, disaster will strike. And it turns out, Dobby is right. Harry and Ron miss the Hogwarts Express, so they fly to school in a blue Ford Anglia, crash landing in the notorious Whomping Willow. Soon other worries accumulate: the outrageously stuck-up new professor Gilderoy Lockhart; a ghost named Moaning Myrtle, who haunts the girls' bathroom; the strange behavior of Ron's little sister, Ginny Weasley; rumors about the "Chamber of Secrets," a cavern buried deep below Hogwarts; and a magical diary owned by Tom Riddle, a Hogwarts student of long ago. Harry is also shocked to discover that he can speak Parseltongue, the language of snakes - a rare ability that Lord Voldemort also possessed - and that anti-Muggle prejudice exists in the Wizarding world, even affecting Harry's friend Hermione. But all of these seem like minor concerns when someone starts turning Hogwarts students to stone: an evildoer said to be the fearsome Heir of Salazar Slytherin, on of the founders of the school. Could it be Draco Malfoy, Harry's most poisonous rival? Could it be Hagrid whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one person everyone at Hogwarts most suspects: Harry Potter himself?

4.5 🌟 
Another great book read by Stephen fry with his amazing voices. This wasn't my favourite book in the series, but it was still pretty great! I enjoyed the ending ❤️
