Book # 50 Harry Potter and The Chamber Of Secrets


Progress Book # 23.29 of 100

I remember liking this book the least of the whole series (due to the snakes) but actually really enjoyed reading it.  Something new I picked up this time was how funny the whole Mandrake storyline was.  The Mandrakes are a plant that will help cure people petrified by the unknown problem.  To be effective they have to reach maturity.  They start at crying babies, then get start getting older.  A sign that they have almost reached maturity is when they lock themselves in the greenhouse and throw a part like teenagers- it’s funny.  It’s year two at Hogwarts and Harry, Ron and Hermione are growing up.  In this novel moaning Mytrle, Ginny Weasley and Dobby the house elf are introduced as secondary/main characters.  We learn why Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts, discover more about Lord Voldermort’s past, and that Harry can speak with snakes. 

I will give book two an A- 91 %
