Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
In one of the most hotly anticipated sequels in memory, J.K. Rowling takes up where she left with Harry's second year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Old friends and new torments abound, including a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girl's bathroom, an outrageously conceited professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, and a mysterious force that turns Hogwarts students to stone.

I don't know why, but neither this book nor the movie based off of it ever really did it for me. I actually found myself annoyed through most of the reading of the novel, which strikes me as odd, in retrospect, given the great love I have for the series in general.
Where do I start with my issues with this book? The flying car bit irritated me to no end...when I do re-read this book, I tend to skip up until the characters are actually all back at the castle. The mentality of the main characters in the book annoyed me as well, something that didn't happen before and didn't occur again until Book 5. And Dobby...oh, where do I start with Dobby? The Jar Jar Binks of Harry Potter. If only I could console myself with the thought that he was created to sell toys, then at least I could partially understand his presence. Imagine, in approximately equal proportions, the more irritating parts of C-3PO, Yoda, Gollum, and the kids from a Special Ed. class. (show less)

This was a very good read, it was a shorter read than what was to come in the following books and was still very much a youthful storyline/

A really good sequel to the first book. And the plot twists and turns were indeed interesting. Many aspects of the story were introduced here and that made me see that this series would be around for a long time to come if it addressed the dimensions raised in the later books.

Movie
I liked this one as a book, but really didn't think the movie was that good... something about it was kind of slow to me

Is this your least favorite?
I don't really understand why people say this was their least favorite of the series. I think the fourth was not that strong. Your thoughts?
