The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he’s packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike
And strike it does. For in Harry’s second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockhart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girls’ bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley’s younger sister, Ginny.
But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble begins, and someone — or something — starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects . . . Harry Potter himself?

MY THOUGHTS
Here I am again struggling to write a review again and wondering If I’ll be ever able to decide one favorite book from this series.
“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
Dursley’s are not as much good as I was assuming they are so annoying, Still they always let Harry stay with them in vacations, I couldn’t understand why.
“Honestly, if you were any slower, you’d be going backward.”
And yes we met Dobby he is so adorable character, I just loved him. This book was a bit dark as compared to the first one…It is only me who always fall for past stories? I enjoy present but not as much as I love past stories, When these mysteries open in layers (I hope it makes sense 😂), Weasley family can’t be more perfect…Can they?
Who doesn’t like Fred and George?
Quidditch is becoming my second favorite sport after cricket, I keep waiting for quidditch matches unconsciously while reading the other scenes.
“When in doubt, go to the library.”
Harry, Ron and Hermione trio is getting strong day by day…Snape is totally pain and Lockhart OMG was he annoying? I haven’t ever read any other character who is that much self-obsessed I mean really how can someone?… I loved this book SO MUCH.
Winer+HP+blanket+munching, Vacations can’t get better 😁
And it gets even darker from here! 😂 Especially with the plot-changing events which happen in the next book. I’m excited to hear more of your thoughts!

I loved all the books (I loved the movies too but felt that you have to read the books to get the complete story and spend more time with the wonderful characters.) If I were to pick my least favourite (but still loved) Harry Potter book the it would be Chamber of secrets.(After this book the series really takes off! If you loved the first two then you have so much more to look forward to!
