An amazing book. I love this series they are awesome. This one would have to be my favourite one of the whole entire series i just really enjoyed reading it. It made me feel really good after i put it down. I love reading about the adventures that Harry, Hermoinie and Ron get up and how they save Harry from Voldermort
a wonderful sequel to the first harry potter book- harry potter and the philosophers stone. most readers will find this one a rather large jump towards the darker magical arts, but will, to their relief, find it does nothing but enhance the splendiferous story telling that lies in waiting between the covers
the second book in the Harry Potter series.
Harry is about to return to Hogwarts a school of witchcraft and wizardry for his second year. After a disastrous accident involving a house elf, harry is nearly expelled from Hogwarts, and is locked up for the rest of the summer by his muggle uncle and aunt. Fortunately; after getting worried, Ron Weasley and his brothers come to rescue harry in a flying Ford Anglia! What hilarities and adventures will ensue in the second book of the series?
the harry potter books just get better and better.a darker tale than the first but still very good.harry and ron fly a ford anglia to hogwarts ,nearly get expelled, plays quidditch and without knowing destroys one of voldemorts horcrux.the book is alot better than the movie,well thats what i think any way.
This second book in the Harry Potter series is just as good as the first. As the year progresses Harry, Ron and Hermione uncover secrets the school is holding. Then with Hermione out of the picture, until she wakes up after an attack, its up to Harry and Ron to solve this mystery before Hogwarts is closed forever.
An even better read than the first book.
Harry is in his second year of Hogwarts, and things are progressing nicely. Here he discovers a mystery, and a dark secret about himself. He gets to go to the Weasley's house, which shows him magic in everyday life, which is terrific. A darker tale than the first book, but still fine for younger readers.... much better than the film version.
In this book at the beginning Ron and Harry get into a spot of trouble for flying a ford anglia to hogwarts and getting spotted by no less than 7 muggles! Harry once again plays quidditch, gets into trouble and faces voldemort when he saves Ron's sister Ginny. Without knowing it Harry destroys a horcrux and a part of voldemort.
Great carry on from the last book. The thing that impresses me about these books is the creation of the world of Harry Potter. It very well done and is very complete, great book for all ages. May not be a work of absolute brilliance, but I do not think it was intended to be so. It is great for what it is.
I love the flying car its one of the best things in the movie i loved how they are in the front of the train also when they get smashed up by the tree. I loved this book and every other book that this lady bring out. Fatastic and exciting what more can i say. Excellent. 10/10
