Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
J.K. Rowling and Mary GrandPré
Edition published 2000

Mock me if you will, but I intend to reread the series now that I have a new found appreciation.  That being said, I don't have the attention span to sit down and read them back to back.  I am sure that I would despise Mr. Potter as much as the Malfoys.

 In Book 2, Potter returns to Hogwarts in an unconventional way after a miserable summer in the Muggle world. With the introduction of a new flamboyant professor and a dramatic ghost, Harry and his friends once more save the school while dealing with adolescence and all its trappings.

I love watching the characters grow up and how their relationships evolve. While Rowling has crafted a great adventure story, she has shown how important friendship is, even with all of its quirks.  But it did leave one mystery to be solved: What role did Mary GrandPré have in writing this book?
