Since the end of the book, I've thought that the artefix of all the murder couldn't be anyone exept Draco...but suprise! it was always Voldemort's fault...he has been able also in this book to appears in other new form to make trubles and obscure plans.

Although an enjoyable read with imaginative elements, I found the over-all structure predictably like the first.

Like a second part of the same amazing story

I've always considered the first and the second HP as Part 1 & 2 of the same book.

I've always considered the first and the second HP as Part 1 & 2 of the same book.
If we think about it, there are little differences. "The Chamber of Secrets" gives us further details missing in the first book and helps us to have a complete and absolute clear idea of the world we've just been dragged into. Sure enough, the second challenge between Harry and Voldemort gives us a hint of what is revealed only later on - but only if you already knwo the whole story, otherwise it's impossible to guess.
Gilderoy Lockhart is one of the funniest characters I've ever read of - after Fred & George. He is a real weirdo wearing a bit of madness. A really well-constructed character, supposed to be just a side one but that in the end has even more space than Snape himself - and who knows if all that space wasn't planned at all, at the beginning?
In "The Chamber of Secrets" it's like Harry, Hermione and Ron are still kind of unaware, despite all they've seen and faced already. The real change starts in fact with book 3, which is like a transition between what they were and what they are going to be.
Surely this book is still as nice as the first and never boring - I owe it a good deal of laughter, especially thanks to that crazy peculiar character called Lockhart.
