My favourite book, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K.Rowling, is set in a fictitious world during the 21st century. This book witnesses Harry Potter’s first year in Hogwarts, a marvelous school of witchcraft and wizardry. There, Harry makes friends with Ron and Hermione. Later, Harry and his friends accidentally discover the leader of the dark, Lord Voldemort’s conspiracy of stealing the Philosopher’s Stone. After great difficulties, these three brave guys successfully protect the stone from their enemies. I love this book, not only for its brilliant imagination, but for the message it conveys. From Harry, I learn that no matter what difficulties we are meeting, we should face them bravely. Only in this way can we achieve what we want.

so much so that it cannot help but in turn

spur the imagination of the young who read

it. There's no doubt that when I read Harry

Potter, I feel that I am walking the halls of

Hogwarts (Harry's school) beside me.

It opens with Harry pining for the end of

summer recess so that he can return to

Hogwarts. There is no happiness in the

home in which he lives with his uncle and

aunt, the Dursley’s, where he is in general

looked down upon and mistreated. Harry's

own parents are dead, and he has been taken to his uncle and aunt, who treat him as a second-rate citizen. They might even treat him worse than they do except that they fear his powers of magic.

There is as much humor in Chamber of Secrets as there is imagination. Harry is told by his uncle to go to his room and there remain perfectly quiet while the Dursley’s entertain some guests. While in his room, Harry is visited by Dobby, an elf-like creature who warns Harry not to return to Hogwarts as danger awaits everyone there. Dobby, not the quiet type, begins to make a racket, much to Harry's profound dismay. Harry attempts and fails to keep him quiet. Needless to say, the Dursley’s are ultimately not happy with Harry as much destruction occurs.

With Dobby’s warning to Harry that danger awaits him in Hogwarts, the book becomes as much a mystery as a fantasy. Once in school again, there are signs (literally scrawled messages on the wall) that the Chamber of Secrets will again be opened and the evil contained therein again set loose. Children are later frozen (shades of Medusa) and very nearly killed by something unseen crawler in the halls of the school. It is up to Harry and his friends, Ron and Hermione, to discover what it is and to stop it.

extremely frightening to sensitive (and younger) children. Harry enters the Chamber of Secrets and encounters Ginny's still body and Tom Riddle. Tom

turns out to be a younger version of

Voldemort, who has been enchanting Ginny

through his journal. Harry calls for help from

Dumbledore. A phoenix and a magic hat

arrive. Tom summons a basilisk, but the

phoenix punctures its eyes. The hat

produces a sword, which Harry uses to kill

the giant snake. Harry sticks a basilisk fang

through the diary, destroying Tom. Ginny

wakes up.

Along the way, there are enough surprises

and imaginative details thrown in as would

normally fill five lesser books. There is the

magic way Harry is supposed to travel to school (on the subway platform) and then, when he fails to make his train, the adventure with the flying car, culminating with the Whomping Willow's distress. One ghost haunts nothing else but a girl's bathroom in the school, and a wonderful diary that can write back to you as you make entries -- like having a friend in your pocket, as one character says. A broken wand creates

(inadvertently) many incorrect and funny circumstances as magic spells backfire, and one egotistical teacher's lack of talent quite often does the same. There is the magic of "Floopowder," by which a wizard can travel anywhere through the fireplaces of buildings as long as one states the destination clearly and clocks that have no numbers but rather say things like: "time to make tea" or simply "you're late". It is all of the details (those mentioned here and many more) that truly make Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets a wonderful book, a book that is a pleasure for us to read but which will for a child prove to be a true and memorable joy.
