English books: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

What's up, folks? I've been reading (as ever) and yesterday I managed to finish the very last book I had to read in English on the Harry Potter saga: "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets".

That's right, I've read the Harry Potter books in English and in Spanish, all of them (and several times, too...)

The thing's that a friend of my brother's was "sleeping-over" yesterday and I nearly died, they kept on talking up to three and a half in the morning!! I didn't kill them because I was too sleepy to get out of bed, ;).

Well, but in the end I finished the book, letting myself wander through Hogwarts' corridors and feeling afraid of the Chamber of Secrets' monster.

In this second book on the saga Harry returns to Hogwarts, with the advise of a house elf named Dobby, who tells him not to return to the school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

"Bad things are going to happen this year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry", Dobby tells Harry.

In spite of it the young wizard manages to return to school, and, as the house elf said, attacks start to happen. The Chamber of Secrets has been opened!

What will happen? I'm sure you know but I leave you its data:

English books: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Hello over there! How is it going? Myself? Oh, thank you for asking. ;) I'm reading, as ever. Enjoying the summer. :) Well, let's get to it.

Yesterday I finished the first book of "Harry Potter", you know, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone". As I think you have deduced, I'm a huge fan of Harry's and I've read the books loads of times. In Spanish more than seven times each and now I've bought the whole collection on English. You know, it's quite funny but without knowing I got the first edition from the original printer in each of them. In some years they'll be quite expensive... But I won't buy them, I won't even think about it. :)

Well, as you know Harry is a wizard and in this first book he discovers about it. He lives at Privet Drive in England with his aunt and uncle but one day Hagrid, a huge man, appears and tells him he's about to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Amazed, Harry starts his adventure to Hogwarts buying everything he needs at Diagon Alley, from a cauldron to a wand. Then he gets to Hogwarts through King Cross station in London, we're he will meet his best friend Ronald Weasley in the Hogwarts Express. But what Harry finds out is the truth about his parents. A dark wizard, Lord Voldemort, killed them and aim to kill him too but... He couldn't. Now he seems to be wanting to regain his power. Will he manage to do it?

I'm sure you know the story but I'm still not telling you about it. ;) Evil me!! :)

I hope you enjoy it and re-read it if you already have. It's astonishing, by my point of view... I just can't help feeling excitement every time I read its pages. It's like a new world for me each of those times, even dough -as I said before- I have read it loads of times.

Become a wizard with Harry in his first year at Hogwarts!

Love,

Miriam
