It's already the end of January meaning it's the fourth week of my challenge! It is not ok that it's already the end of the month though. Not. Ok.
This week, given that last week was Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, was of course Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets! This isn't my favourite of the series, but of course I love it! I just love how the magical world develops and we meet more people, creatures and magic. I think this one begins to introduce the darker side of magic, although it certainly doesn't throw you into it just yet!
"The Dursleys were so mean and hideous that summer that all Harry Potter wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he's packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange, impish creature named Dobby who says that if Harry Potter returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike. And strike it does. For in Harry's second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girl's bathroom, and the unwanted attentions of Ron Weasley's younger sister, Ginny. But each of these seem minor annoyances when the real trouble beings, and someone--or something--starts turning Hogwarts students to stone. Could it be Draco Malfoy, a more poisonous rival than ever? Could it possibly be Hagrid, whose mysterious past is finally told? Or could it be the one everyone at Hogwarts most suspects...Harry Potter himself"
