From Amazon.co.uk
J K Rowling's sequel to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone carries on where the original left off. Harry is returning to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry after the summer holidays and, right from the start, things are not straightforward.

Unable to board the Hogwarts express, Harry and his friends break all the rules and make their way to the school in a magical flying car. From this point on, incredible events happen to Harry and his friends--Harry hears evil voices and someone, or something is attacking the pupils. Can Harry get to the bottom of the mystery before it's too late?

As with its predecessor Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a highly readable and imaginative adventure story with real, fallible, characters, plenty of humour and, of course, loads of magic and spells. There is no need to have read Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone to enjoy this book. However, if you have read it, this is the book you have been waiting for. (Ages 9 to Adult). --Philippa Reece --This text refers to the Paperback edition.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   26 of 26 people found the following review helpful: I Can't Praise This Excellent Recording Highly Enough, 12 Sep 2000 By A Customer This review is from: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Unabridged 8 Audio CD Set) (Audio CD) Stephen Fry's superb readings of the Harry Potter novels have already become contemporary classics: they are far too good to be left for children only. I am delighted that they have been re-issued on cd, as the cassette medium is all-too-fragile and many repeated plays leave the cassettes in an all-too-worn state. CDs are much more durable. And believe me, though these recordings are expensive, they are well worth the money as they will be played over and over again. Stephen Fry is a highly talented comedian and actor with a very wide range. Without seeming to try too hard, he gives each of Rowling's characters their own voice, which is necessary in a reading of this sort, but the voices he uses are so cleverly chosen and executed that they do far more than merely help us distinguish one character from another. By assigning each character a specific accent he places them in the Great British Class Battleground and with his excellent sense of timing and nuance he accentuates Rowling's satires with his own sly wit. I actually prefer Fry's readings of the Harry Potter novels to the novels themselves, as Fry adds a whole new dimension to the books, grounding them firmly in the debates (squabbles?) of modern British life. An especial joy in his reading of Chamber Of Secrets is his interpretation of the ghastly Gilderoy Lockhart, who becomes almost frighteningly alive and believeable in Fry's hands. I would not be at all surprised to find the Loathsome Lockhart popping up on Start The Week! He'd fit right in...  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Phrases like: 'Harry, Harry, Harry', and 'Fame is a fickle friend', gave us hours of tumultuous hysterics. This story is for all ages and despite not being the best of the novels, it is the epitome of family fun, and if you can only buy one set of CDs/tapes this should be the one. J. K. Rowling mixes wit, an intoxicating plot, vivid description and a fascinating culture into an unforgettable experience. This is the ultimate 'must-have' of the audio CD world. Stephen, you have created a masterpiece out of a masterpiece.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

We were planning on reading it aloud, but each of us would steal the book away and read in bed at night, or when he rest of the family was gone. Then, when my brother went to camp with my dad, my mom and I finished the book, photocopied the last 4 chapters and sent them to him. Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets is an exciting book of a wizard boy who is warned not to go back to his school, Hogwarts, or terrible things will happen. He goes back anyway, and is faced by small problems: a snobby new professer, Filch, the Caretaker, a ghost in the girls bathroom, Moaning Myrtle, and Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris. But all these are small problems when something starts petrifing students, and Hagrid the gamekeeper is Taken to Azkaban, the Wizard prison. It is an exciting tale of adventure, and I recomend it to everyone.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
