“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets takes the characters previously introduced in The Sorcerer's Stone and opens them up more to the readers. We get to see more witty Harry, irritated Snape, sassy McGonagall...it's really delightful. This book also introduces and cements the ongoing connection between Voldemort and Harry—and the identity crisis that ensues. Although in these first two books I found the tension/climax too quick and short, I attribute that to the fact that we haven't really gotten to the "dark" and increasingly heavy tones of the series. Altogether, The Chamber of Secrets was a lovely 2nd book in a series that only gets better as you continue on.
