this book was very nice and interesting but some places it tends to get a bit overboared

This is one of the best books I have ever read, I love all the Harry Potter books and can't wait for book five.

Holy Cow! I think i am the #1 Harry Potter Fan! I like all the books that J.K. made especially this one. I like when J.K. told different stories about the different characters. This book made me think about what was causing all this mess and it was a strange but exciting ending. I recommend this to young readers and even older ones. At first I didnt think this collection was going to be good, but after reading this book and the third one I loved it so much. The first book to me is better than the movie they made for it. I will continue on reading the rest of the Harry Potter Collection and probably watch all the movies too. If you LoVe FanTaSy stories you'll truly appreciate this adventurous collection!!!

Oh my gosh, this has got to be the best in the series so far. I totally love the twist it takes at the end, you'd never expect that it was who it was. Throughout the entire book, J.K. keeps you guessing. What I also like is that she introduces the reader to more of the Weasley's life. All you know in the first book is that there are alot of them. In Chamber of Secrets, we find out where they live, what kind of lifestyle they lead, and get to know more about Ron's dad Arthur Weasley. I've recommened this book to all my friends and do the same to anyone who reads this review.
