Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling
5.0
The complexity of The Chamber of Secrets amazes me. Having read up to Half-Blood Prince, I can see the foreshadowing Rowling writes in the series. There are so many little clues here and there that tell you what’s going to happen.
There are so many little things I love about this story. I love when Harry meets Fawkes, Professor Dumbledore’s phoenix. I love reading about his uncertainty of whether Gryffindor is the right house for him. And, I love the interactions between him and Dobby. I also loved learning about Tom Riddle and who he really is.
The first time I read Chamber of Secrets in 2001, I figured out the mystery long before Harry, Ron, and Hermione did. But, I still remained on the edge of my seat, excited to see how and when they found out what everything meant and how to put a stop to it.
I also found a kindred spirit in Ron because he's also terrified of spiders. Aragog and his family are the thing of nightmares. I'm glad reading is not a visual experience for me or I may not have been able to keep reading Harry and Ron's conversation with Aragog.
There’s so much more I can say about Chamber of Secrets, but I don’t think anyone wants to read all of it. Simply put, it’s a wonderfully, complex, rich story and makes me excited to continue on with Harry’s adventures in the next books.
