The ability to completely immerse the reader in a fictional world and make it seem so real is her strongest card and her strong characterisation further enhances this. The lovely thing is that she pays homage to these influences in her own style and this has made her stories compellingly unique. Rowling has drawn on many influences within their construction.
The Harry Potter series cannot lay claim to being the most original as J.K. The Harry Potter series is a must read for all children as they are best enjoyed when the imagination is undimmed by age. That would, however, be extremely unfair as this is a fine book in its own rights and deserves to be praised every bit as highly as the original. Gilderoy Lockhart is a superb character that steals the spotlight from Harry and his friends on more than one occasion.Ĭynics may say that the success of the first Harry Potter book made this success of The Chamber of Secrets inevitable. The humour, in particular, is once again rich in the narrative, a humour that will make both children and adults laugh at loud. Rowling’s vivid imagination and full to the spine with magic, spells, companionship and humour. This is a rich fantasy tale, fuelled by J.K. There are mysterious happenings at Hogwarts and Harry, assisted by his staunch friends Hermoine and Ron set about discovering the truth to the Chamber of Secrets and look for clues to help them understand the attacks on the children at the school.Īll the ingredients that made The Philosopher’s Stone a much-loved success are once again here in abundance. The Dursleys are, to put it mildly, unpleasant and the arrival of the house elf Dobby sets in motion a chain of events that ends with Harry, thanks in no small part to a flying car, happily back at Hogwarts.
The Chamber of Secrets begins, as did the Philosopher’s Stone, with Harry once again at home with the dreadful Dursleys. Rowling’s series began with the Philosopher’s Stone and The Chamber of Secrets continues the adventures of the young wizard Harry and his friends at Hogwarts.
