Kell Posted October 19, 2005 Share Posted October 19, 2005 Author: J K Rowling ISBN # 0747538484 Not bad. Not bad at all. This one picks up where The Philosopher's Stone left off (as if there's anyone on the planet who doesn't already know that!), in the summer holidays between Harry's first & second year at Hogwart's School of Witchcraft & Wizardry. All the favourites from the previous book with a few extras thrown in for good measure, most prominently Ginny Weasley (younger sister of Ron & the seemingly millions of other Weasley boys); the ghost haunting the girl's loos, Moaning Myrtle, & the flamboyant new teacher of Defence Against the Dark Arts, Gilderoy Lockhart. My main gripe is that Professor Snape is barely mentioned at all. He was my favourite character in the last story (although, even in that one, was criminally underused) & I only wish he'd featured more heavily in this one, but he hardly graced the pages at all. My greatest wish is that he be given the coveted Dark Arts teaching post he so richly deserves in the sequel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wiccibat Posted June 17, 2006 Share Posted June 17, 2006 It certainly moved on from the philsopher's stone, becoming that little bit darker. I liked getting to Know more about the Weasley family. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
