A little bit about this book
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets , the second volume of the now classic series of fantasy novels by British author JK Rowling.
“There is a conspiracy, Harry Potter. “A conspiracy to make the most terrible things happen this year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.”
Harry Potter’s summer has included the worst birthday of his life, the dire warnings of a house elf named Dobby, and the rescue of the Dursley home by his friend Ron Weasley at the wheel of a magical flying car. Back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he is about to start his second year, Harry hears strange whispers echoing through the empty hallways. And then the attacks begin and several students appear petrified… Apparently, Dobby’s sinister predictions are coming true…
My opinion and review
My rating♥♥♥♥
After its publication, the critic said…
“I sincerely believe that all fantasy fans should rush to the nearest bookstore in search of their Harry Potter.”
Pau Joan Hernàndez, Avui
“It does not seem very risky to resort to the cliché to affirm that Rowling’s book will mark a before and after in European fantasy literature.”
Eva Piquer, El Periódico
«Keep this name: Harry Potter. It belongs to a 10-year-old boy, gangly and with glasses and identifiable by a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead… We just have to add that we are looking at one of those books that when a father reads it to his son, He must remind you to please do it out loud.
Luis Conde-Salazar, The World
« Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second book in Joanne Rowling’s series and, unlike many other “sequels”, it is just as good as the previous book.»
