Review of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

ROWLING, J. K.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.
Bloomsbury, 1998
ISBN 0747538484

What wonderfully realised creations are Harry Potter and his world at Hogwart’s School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. Once again, the likeable Harry is cast in the hero role when he emerges triumphant after fighting the forces of the Dark and ridding the school of a dreadful monster unleashed when a secret underground chamber is re-opened. A welcome sequel to Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, this story is also certain to capture the imagination of children and adults across the globe. Like its predecessor, it has a well conceived, substantial storyline, fine characterisation, entertaining, occasionally spinechilling action and adventure, all spiced with magic, mayhem, and a delightful sense of fun.
