"Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets"

I was sooooo excited to read and watch Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets this semester! I never would have imagined doing this for a class, and it gives me a fresh new perspective on literature classes. The Harry Potter series is by far my absolute favorite series, and I have been interested in it since third grade when it became popular. I have always enjoyed reading it and getting lost in this magical world Rowling so brilliantly created. It is just amazing. The movies are really good, but they do not do the book justice. The two main "pet-peeves" (Harry Potter pun! :P) I have with the movie are when they switched Dumbledores and how Harry is portrayed as kind of egotistical in the movies. I liked the original Dumbledore because he seemed more mysterious to me. I did not notice "Movie Harry" being cocky until the fourth movie when he opens the egg from the dragon challenge in the Triwizard Tournament in the common room in front of everyone. I am SUCH a Harry Potter nerd!!!

  1. I am such a Harry nerd too lol. My mother is just as bad as I am. Me, her and my grandmother all go see the movies together the day they come out. I still cant imagine how J.K Rowling came up with this idea. And I absolutely despise snakes, so the Chamber of Secrets creeps me out a little. But this is my favorite book series (:
