Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K.Rowling

This is the second installment of the illustrated Harry Potter books. I love reading these books with my 7-year old son. They have just enough illustrations to keep him interested from page to page, especially since this is an unabridged version of the books. There are even a few extras, like this page: Not only is it relevant to the story, but it offers a little bit of extra information for those who can’t get enough of the wizarding world. In this story, we meet […]

Cbr11bingo I love this. When the first Harry Potter book came out, I read a review of it in the New York Times and thought it sounded like a fun series for kids. After The Chamber of Secrets came out, the Quality Paperback Book Club (of which I was a card carrying member) offered a deal to get both volumes in hard cover, so I took advantage of it. Like millions of people around the world, I fell in love the the stories and their […]

This little beginning of the month Harry Potter re-read is turning out to be quite delightful. Normally I just mainline them as fast as I can back to back. But new month, new Harry Potter book to read, is a nice change! A little trip to Hogwarts to start February off right. I’m going to continue with the format I used last go-round, since it was pretty stress-free, and didn’t involve a heck of a lot of thought. Plus, my usual tactic with reviews is to focus […]

Friends, I finally remembered what initially began the itch to reread Harry Potter. Our very own narfna, along with some cannonball and not cannonball friends, did a Medicinal Re-Read and I remember following along (thanks, Goodreads)! It’s been since 2013! Okay, as you were, let’s get to the actual reviewing. I have always thought book four, Goblet of Fire was my least favorite Potter, and that may still be true for the book versions (we’ll have to see when I get there in a few […]

Rereading Harry Potter for Sanity and Resistance, Book 2

The second Harry Potter book is not my favorite in the series. It’s not bad, it’s just not my favorite. I am going to assume that if you are reading this review you are familiar with the series and I’m not going to worry about spoilers. That said, it’s the one where some very important political ideas are brought forward – most importantly, how do we divide ourselves, how do we treat people who are not exactly like us? Dobie the House Elf makes his […]
