The Guardian recently published a review of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. As many of us may recall, this book originally hit bookstores in the UK in 1998, and in the USA one year later in 1999. The Guardian’s review mainly summarizes the novel, giving a brief opinion at the very end:

This is another great story by J.K. Rowling. It shows how Harry and Ron get on throughout the ‘clever stuff’ without Hermione and how the Chamber of Secrets was supposedly opened before by their biggest friend. It also shows a side of Hogwarts possibly without Dumbledore.

Just like the first book this is superbly written with amazing descriptions to make you feel as if you are Harry attending Hogwarts!

However, it is a good opportunity to sit back and reflect on our memories of when Chamber of Secrets entered our lives. Back when Harry was just getting off the ground on his Nimbus 2000, it has been nearly 16 (or 17 in the UK) years since the publication of Chamber of Secrets, and so much has unfolded within the Harry Potter world since then.
