The Chamber of Secrets is book number two out of the seven popular Harry Potter books. Harry, after the first book, now knows that his life isn't a normal typical one, not even a typical wizards life and with that there is the knowledge that the greatest evil in recent history is dead set on killing him. The book introduces a few new characters, such as more of the Weasley clan as well as Gilderoy Lockhart, who I'm pretty sure Dumbledore thought would be a laugh to hire. Naturally new evil plans run afoot and the trio need to balance their school life with the growing dangers and looming threats.

Once again we're treated to some stunning illustrations, one of my favourite being the ghost horse and its rider at the Deathday Party, another look down Diagon Alley (wonderfully different from the first book, so take your time taking in all the little bits of this street), Harry being pulled in the diary and or course one can't miss out mentioning the Basilisk. There is also a gorgeous two page spread on Phoenix's. None of the pages are plain white, all have a slight tinge to them as well as faint patterns, so no boring pages here. When Harry enters the chamber the pages become black (with just a hint of snake along the bottom), so it isn't just the illustrations used to help create the mood.

A great addition to the illustrated books and it had me wanting to continue collecting the rest.
