“It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.”
Reading this book really did feel like watching the movies! I doubt the next few books will feel like that though, and I still can't wait to see what I forgot from the books! Oh Potter, you rotter being one of them. The twists and turns that happen in this book are actually crazy, oh wow. I'm seriously enjoying this re-read, more than I was expecting. And this isn't even my favorite Harry Potter movie!

I swear each time I read this book Lockhart becomes more and more insufferable, haha. He is actually the worst and I hate how cocky he is when he knows noTHING. Either he or Umbridge have to be the worst characters in this series hahaha.
I genuinely love this book and love getting to know our main characters on an even deeper and more personal level. The character development is already happening early on in the series for Harry, Ron, & Hermione, which leads the way for the rest of the series. I love the way that they learn and grow each installment of the series. It really turns them into the people that they are meant to be by the end of the series.
Overall, I have always loved Chamber of Secrets because the last quarter of this book is actually insane. So much happens and the climax of this book is impossible to put down. It sucks you into the world and has you screaming and begging that Harry is going to make it. This is another installment that just makes me instantly want to pick up the next book in the series. Time for Prisoner of Azkaban now! I rate this book 5/5 stars! 🌟
