BOOK DISCUSSION: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Nov 04, 2014 06:49

There are strange likenesses between us, after all. Even you must have noticed. Both half-bloods, orphans, raised by Muggles. Probably the only two Parselmouths to come to Hogwarts since the great Slytherin himself. We even look something alike…
~Tom Riddle

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was first published in 1998. Often the least popular book in the series among fans (though still, of course, beloved), it gained new significance after the Half-Blood Prince and the discovery that the diary had been a horcrux all along. In Book Two, we were introduced to house elves and basilisks; to the Burrow and flying cars; to Gilderoy Lockhart; to Godric, Rowena, Helga, and Salazar; to parseltongue, petrification, and polyjuice potion; and to Tom Riddle and his diary.

Several comment threads will be started with questions to get the discussion rolling. Feel free to reply to as many or as few as you’d like, or start new threads with questions or comments of your own.

The discussion on Philosopher's Stone was absolutely FABULOUS - let's keep it going! :D
