Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

This book was captivating and I would say even more so than the first. The clues got together quite nicely and this mystery was quite a little bit harder for the golden trio to solve which I liked.
I also liked how we got to meet several new characters, including some minor ones, and professor Lockhart. He is an idiot, but a great character nonetheless.
I thought this was a great and enjoyable book with dark themes to it which I now understand is just a foretaste of what is to come in the latter books
