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.


Mark Dejan
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 thought The Chamber of Secrets was excellent I couldn't put it down I've read it loads of times and I think it's the best book ever. Thank you J.K Rowling

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?:)
