Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets- Book to Movie Comparison

After reading every Harry Potter book, it is safe to say that there is not one that I did not enjoy. J.K. Rawling does a great job of coming up with new events in each story to write about. She has such a vivid imagination that she finds a way to make the stories almost seem life-like. Harry, Ron, and Hermione seem like regular kids that the reader can relate to. They go through much of the same problems that we do, only they also have supernatural ones added on as well. Harry Potter becomes a hero to us as we are reading the books because of all of his heroic acts. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is one of my favorite Harry Potter books. I enjoy it more than the first because it spends less time explaining the background of Harry Potter because the reader already knows it. Therefore, there is more action in this book. Of course, Harry and Ron start the year off in the same manner that they spent much of the last one- in trouble. They don't make it through the barrier to get to the Hogwarts Express, so they take the Weasley family's flying car. They end up crashing it upon their arrival. The year continues to pose problems for them. Students start becoming petrified and rumors start to fly around that The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Harry, Ron, and Hermione go on a quest to find out why this is happening and why their teachers will not discuss with them what The Chamber of Secrets is. The book is long, but can be read within a day. It is so suspenseful that I was not able to put it down until I was finished. I would not suggest starting any Harry Potter book if you do not have an entire day that will be interruption-free because you are not going to be able to pry your eyes away from the page.
