Well, what can I say I don't really read many books at all but as soon as I picked up the book I was amazed I really got into it, I don't think I put it down for more than 15 minutes until I finished it, for a 17 year old boy there isn't much time for books but for me all I can say is "bring em all to me" cant wait till I see the film.

I love to read Harry potter books because it seems like everything that happens to Harry happens to us. When ever I read any Harry Potter books I always want to read on and on and see what happens to Harry. There's always something magical happening to Harry. I hope I get all the Harry Potter books so I can read them over and over again.

I'm 13 years old I don't like to read very much. I heard about Harry Potter and that is was very good so started reading and couldn't stop. It is a great book about magic and mystery. I love how the book is written. I would recommend this book to all ages.

I really like the Harry Potter books. I really like Harry Potter and The Chamber Of Secrets. It is exciting and mysterious. I like Dobby because he gets Harry into trouble and he is funny. I think it is cool how J.K.Rowling thought up all these things! I can't wait until the next one comes out.

the first I saw it is when my classmate, kitchie, is reading it and when I saw it I borrowed it from her and then I read the first chapter and then never stop reading until I finished the whole book . it is the first story that I was amazed. the story is funny and it is tricky. you will see from the first book up to the last book that the people didn't change at all except their age of course. this is a book that not to be exhausted. the most exciting is the Quidditch game , I've never thought of a sports that you will need a flying broomstick.

I don't read that much in fact chamber of secrets is the longest book I ever read. I didn't think that I was going to finish it because I have read the beginnings of most of the Harry potter books and had no desire to reading until I read about to chapter 5 and I was hooked when I finished it I started on the third on now I want to read the 1st and the 4th on and cant wait until the movie comes out

It's interesting because Ginny did it and HP met Voldemort when he was young! I am surprised because HP had the legacy of Slytherin.

I am 18 years old and I absolutely love Harry Potter books. I think they are so great. They let me use my imagination, which hasn't been used in a while. Harry Potter is full of excitement and I can't wait to read what happens next. If a person thinks that Harry Potter is immoral, don't read it. It is a fictional story about a young wizard. My advice to concerned people: Don't over analyze the books. Children love them because it is a fantasy story. I love them because of that, too.

I am captivated by Harry Potter. I wouldn't normally read a book or I would start one and not finish it, but I have read every one of the Harry Potter books and find myself waiting for the next one to come out. I think it's wonderful how Joanne Rowling thought up this world of magic and mystery, strange objects and mystical beings. My favorite has to be "Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban", there's so many twists and happenings in the story I couldn't put it down. I started reading it at about 8:00pm and ended up staying up until 2:30am in the morning. Was Sirius Black going to get Harry? How could he do such a thing as betray Lily and James Potter all those years ago? And will Crookshanks the cat eat Scabbers the rat?

I thought that Harry Potter and the Chamber of secrets was a great book. Except when Harry fought Tom Riddle at the end. That got kind of gruesome, u think so?:)

The Chamber of Secrets was an absolutely wonderful book! I live in South Korea, and even here it's the most popular book nowadays. Harry Potter has gone international, and for good reason. It's so magical and thrilling- it's packed with suspense. It gives us readers such a vivid picture of the imaginary world, that it no longer seems like another realm, but one very close to ours, and possibly ours itself. I hope all muggles get a chance to read the Harry Potter series, because it is such an unforgettable read.

I have only read 2 HP books so far, but I think the Chamber of Secrets is the best book I have ever read. J.K Rowling is very imaginative! Her way of writing is quite unique. I have read the first two books 3 times and I like them very much. I hope to read the other two books as I am a great fan of HP.JK Rowling has become my new idol. Keep writing!

I am 11 and have got all the Harry Potter books. Those were the best books I have ever read for a long time. I love Goblets of Fire the best. I think all the authors should write books like this so kids imagination could run wild for a while. Nowadays there are hardly any good writers. Ms Rowling is the best. I am surely going to go crazy waiting for the 5th book to arrive. In my class I am the only one to have all the Harry Potter books and I am very proud of them. I have to go now. Bye.

The book was very exciting and suspenseful. As a 12 year-old, I barely read books, but this one I could not put down. Ms.Rowling is very descriptive in her writing. It makes me feel like I am at Hogwarts or at the Dursley's house. Overall I thought it was a great book.

When my grand-father first gave me a Harry Potter book I was very skeptical. After all... how good could a book that was found in the children's section of the book store be? So the day after I read the Philosopher stone I went out and bought The secret chamber. I loved it because you never know who the bad guy will be. The ending was such a shock. This book is really well written, and has a lot of humor in it as well.

I wanted to know what the big deal was about Harry Potter. I am 30 years old, have no children, read the first book and it made me long for my childhood days when my friends and I use to get in loads of harmless mischief because of our imaginations. I have not read such a well written book in years and years - and I read about 2 books a week. It is the most refreshing, most imaginative and most thoughtful book I have ever read. An added plus is that it recognizes growing pains that all children go through: dealing with the bully, the mean teacher, the well-meaning friend and especially the famous (most popular) boy who remains humble and true to himself.
Great work and I only wish there were more books like this around. I have heard that there is a lot of controversy surrounding these books but I would recommend every person read them with an open mind and uncritical eye and I'll bet you find a beautiful story about life.

What I really like about this book is that it teaches people not to jump to conclusions and that one shouldn't judge another person by their reputation. What I also like are the references being made about Harry's late parents; I found that to be very touching. It made me want to know more about them and Harry's love for them and desire to know them, since the mean old Dursleys never talk about them, except in a negative way. Speaking of that, I like what he did to Aunt Marge when she dissed his parents, and the fact that he got away it. Phew! That was a relief.
