Dear Reader,
I have finished reading the book Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It is a great book and recommend it for everybody. In the beginning it talks about a boy named Harry in England and is eating dinner with his hated family. They are the Dursleys. Harry is a wizard, but the Dursleys don't like anything abnormal. When Mr. Vernon Dursley said that a visitor was coming for his job he told Harry to stay in his room and not make a sound. When Harry was in the room he saw a little elf named Dobby. It told Harry to not go to Hogwarts this year because of great danger. Hogwarts is the famous Witchcraft and Wizardry school. Harry said no but Dobby went out the room and caused a ruckus in the dinning room where the Dursleys were. They thought it was Harry and made him clean up the mess. Then an owl came in and scared one of the visitors. Mr. Dursley read the note it brought and glared at Harry. He showed him the letter and it said don't use magic again or you will be expelled from the school. The Dursleys did not know he was not allowed to use magic and locked him in his room and barred his window because they know he cannot use magic and come back out.
One night he was dreaming and he heard something. He looked out his window and there was his friend Ron floating in a car. Ron tied the car to the window and put pedal to the metal and broke the window. His two twin brothers, Fred and George, came and lock picked his room door. They went to get his stuff while Harry put things he needed into the car. When they were about to leave Harry forgot his owl and went to retrieve it but Mr. Vernon saw him and yelled he was escaping grabbed his ankle but Fred and George managed to pull him into the car. The flew to an lopsided looking house and then Mrs. Weasley saw them and started yelling at them because they were not suppose to have the flying car. Then she saw Harry and greeted him warmly. Harry had a great time in the house and met Ginny, who is a fan of Harry because he made the evil wizard Voldemort disappear when he was just a baby.
Harry was at school for a while when he saw that the care taker's cat, Ms. Norris, petrified. Harry was the first there and when everybody came they pointed at Harry for doing the crime. Also on the wall their was blood and it spelled out something like the Chamber of Secrets has been opened by the Heir of Slytherin. Slytherin is a house or group in the school for people who have all wizards or witches in their family. Then came more attacks. Harry found a diary in the toilet and wrote in it and it wrote back. Then it showed 50 years ago when the person who owned the book, Tom Riddle, was in Hogwarts. He blamed Hagrid and that is how he got expelled when he was in Hogwarts. He secretly owned a big spider.
He was also one of Harry's friends, and was about to be sent to jail, but before he left he said follow the spiders. Harry and Ron followed the spiders (Even though Ron is terrified of them.) and they found a huge spider that told them that what was attacking the school was feared by them and would not say its name. One day, one of Harry's best friends, Hermione was attacked. They found in her hand a couple days later a piece of paper torn out of a library book. They found out that it was a basilisk that was petrifying everyone.
They went to a ghost to see if the basilisk killed her. Her name was Moaning Myrtle and was easily offended. They found out how to get in with one of their teachers and when they went in the teacher tried to take all the fame and used a memory charm with Ron's warn but it backfired because it was broken. The ceiling crumbled and Harry and Ron were on opposite sides. Harry went in and found Ginny on the floor. He tried to rescue her but then saw Tom with his wand. He called the basilisk but then a Phoenix of the headmaster, Dumbledore, came with the sorting hat, a hat the puts you in a house. In the hat there was a sword. The phoenix was attacking the basilisk and then it bit Harry. The Phoenix cried and the tears healed Harry's wounds. Harry then took the tooth that was in his arm and stabbed the diary with it.
My favorite part of the book was the end because it was the most interesting and detailed. My least favorite part of the book was when Hermione got petrified. I rated this book 5/5 because of the great imagination and quality in it.
Sincerely,
Alexander Yan
