My book review is about Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. I chose this book because I love Harry Potter and decided to read the books. It was first published on July 2, 1998. Before there was Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and after Chamber of Secrets it was Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Say no to plagiarism.

He learns that he is actually a wizard and has been invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Harry lives with his aunt and uncle in Surrey, England. He goes to school at Hogwarts, Scotland. JK Rowling said that Harry was born on July 31, 1980. The main story begins when he is 11 years old, meaning it takes place throughout the 90s. Harry finishes his final year at Hogwarts in 1998. Harry's horrible uncle, aunt and cousin keep him locked in the house with no one to keep him company except his snow-white owl, Hedwig. He's afraid that the magical life he had at Hogwarts is just a dream. Her summer sucks, until a house elf from the magical world appears in her room. Dobby, the house elf, warns Harry that danger awaits him at Hogwarts. Hogwarts was his first real house where he finally had real friends. Dobby deliberately causes destruction downstairs to discourage Harry from returning. Harry's horrible Uncle Vernon is outraged and locks Harry in his room. In the middle of the night, Harry hears a noise outside. His friend Ron and his twin brothers came to save him. Harry escapes Privet Drive and they fly to the Burrow, the Wesley home. Mrs. Weasley is happy to see Harry in the morning, although she is angry at her sons for sneaking out during the night. The Weasleys and Harry go to Diagon Alley to buy their Hogwarts things. In Diagon Alley, they see Harry's other best friend, Hermione. They also meet Draco and his father, Lucius. Harry also meets Gilderoy Lockhart, his new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. Harry and the Wesleys head to the Hogwarts Express station. Harry and Ron can't get into the station so they get into Ron's flying car, following the Hogwarts Express. Harry and Ron arrived safely at Hogwarts, after being beaten by the Whomping Willow, which earned them detention. A few days later, Quidditch practice begins. Draco is the new researcher of the Slytherin team. Draco calls Hermione a "Mudblood", which insults his Muggle family. After training, Harry hears a frightening voice in the castle and soon after sees Filch's cat petrified and hanging near the wall where someone has written in blood: "The Chamber has been opened." Enemies of the heir, beware. Harry, Ron and Hermione are shocked. They investigate and discover that fifty years ago, a room at Hogwarts was opened and a student was murdered. During the Quidditch match, Harry is hit by a magic ball which knocks him off his broom. He is brought to the infirmary and sees a petrified first year. When Harry gets better, he discovers that he can speak Parseltongue to snakes. Everyone is afraid of him because only the heir of Slytherin had the ability to speak to snakes. Later, other students and even a ghost were petrified. Harry is confused. Harry, Ron and Hermione are determined to solve the mystery. They brew a potion called the Polyjuice Potion, which turns someone into a different person. Harry and Ron transform into.
