((support trans people, one possible organization to support here: https://translifeline.org/about/))

the chamber of secrets is my favorite of the movies (i dont think it is the "best" movie, but it is my favorite... if that makes sense...) so i was excited to revisit this book especially.

Overall, the character's bonds seemed to solidify more in this book with Harry, Ron, and Hermione starting to grow into their recognizable qualities. I also think the threat is more ominous and the conflict in the chamber of secrets is actually scary, compared to the goofy conflict in the first book. I also appreciated the parts that deviated from the movie in small ways.

The main issue I have is the incessant repetition of background information that was painstakingly explained in the book before. But, this is a literal book for children so. Okay I guess.
