Harry Potter has spent a terrible summer with the Dursleys. They even stop him from boarding the train to take him back to Hogwarts at the end of the summer. It's one hazard after another until Harry gets to the safety of the school, but how safe is it?
Evil voices whisper to Harry through the walls. Another student seems to have it in for him. Then mysterious words appear on the wall, "The Chamber of Secrets Has Been Opened. Enemies of the Heir, Beware". Harry and his wizard friends Hermione and Ron succeed in cracking the mystery but not without a large dose of humor and suspense

i liked all four books and can't wait till the fifth one comes out! i don't really have a favorite book because they were all wonderful!! daniel, rupert, and emma are my favorite characters!! they are all excellent so i can't really choose! (i went on a website) (mike@emma watson.com)(is the only e-mail address) they don't want to give out email or phone #'s. the harry potter series is awesome i agree!! i have read each book twice already!


I love Harry Potter books.Daniel Radcliffe's favourite book is the Chamber of Secrets, because it has a dark storyline. My favourite person is Ron, becuse I think he is cute.

I like all the books alot but my fave is Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Askaban best because Harry finds out he has a god father:Serious Black.

Does anybody know Emma Watsons email,if yes,please email it at KirstyK2003@yahoo.co.uk,thanks

I realy like this book. For those of you who don't Read the books just because you are afraid of WITCHCRAFT, THEN GET A LIFE. j.K. ISN'T doing anything wrong or illegal. Well anyways if you aren't one of those crazy fraidy cats, then I strongly advise you to read this book. The suspence always pulls you into the book.TextText
