Soon after Harry and hisfriends arrive after Hogwarts, a message is written on a besiege in bloodthat says enemies of the heir, beware, the put up has been opened.Harry is found near the sight so people suspect he was the one who dunit.

Theyhave many frightening and exciting adventures along the way, buteverything changes as students start to get petrified. Near the end,Hermione gets petrified and its up to Ron and Harry to save theirfriends and fellow students.While I was reading this book many questions came to my mind. Iwondered why Harry didnt tell anyone about him hearing the voices inthe wall. sluice though it could have been a bad sign, if he had toldDumbledore, the teachers at Hogwarts might have been abl e to solve themystery and stop Tom Riddle sooner. I think if I were Ron I wouldconvinced Harry to tell Dumbledore about the voices. I also would havestayed away from where all of the writing on the wall was going on.While I was reading this book I never would have though that it wasGinny Weasly that opened the Chamber of Secrets. I also never wouldhave thought that the reason Hagrid got expelled from Hogwarts wasbecause Tom Riddle accused him of opening the chamber. I think this isa great book because of how everything in the end ties to each early(a)to make an awesome ending.JK Rowling writes in a very unique style. From the very beginning of the book you can tell the book is going to be effective of adventure, close calls, and mystery.Imagery is used a lot in the Harry Potter books because JK Rowlinggives the reader a very unique and intense idea of how Hogwarts looks,and what happens in Harrys adventures. While reading this book thereader can almost picture the enchanted ceilin gs and the lacysnowflake cookies.There isnt very much figurative nomenclature in this book. Most of thefigurative language occurs in the first book when JK Rowling explainsmore in detail what Hogwarts looks exchangeable. This book, however, does havesome figurative language. Personification like the tree yawned andthe car burped out the suitcases give the reader a much more vividpicture of what is happening in the story because they can touch base it
