Reviewed on 13/03/2003. OK, I'll admit it. It's not the most difficult read for an adult! That does nothing to diminish the brilliance of J.K's writing style though. Once you are sucked into the world of Harry, there's just no turning back.All you need to enjoy this book is an open and willing imagination.

Reviewed on 01/09/2003. An excellent follow-up to the first book.The Chamber of Secrets can be read without first reading the original, but it's advised not to do so. This book follows a similar story as the first as Harry starts his second term at Hogwarts. The suspense is well maintained and there is a clue as to who the villian is - if you are sharp enough.

Reviewed on 08/09/2003. A bit of a darker tale in this the third book in the Harry Potter range. The characters are well developed as Harry continues to develop his powers. More is revealed about the death of Potter's parents as an escaped convict, seemingly intent on killing Harry, forces tight security at Hogwarts. All is not what it appears though, as even the new gatekeepers to Hogwarts are potentially dangerous to the central character. The usual Quidditch match is thrown in along with some new and interesting lecturers and students. This is another hit for Ms. Rowling.

Reviewed on 29/09/2003. Double the length of the previous Harry Potter books, the Goblet of Fire is a meatier read. Prior to re-joining Hogwarts, Harry and his friends are caught up in the excitement of the Quidditch World Cup. It is here that the first signs of Voldermort's increase in power and the rising of the "Dark" side first appears. Voldermort plans his "re-surfacing" while the Triwizard Tournament takes place. The finale is probably the best yet in terms of suspense.

Reviewed on 27/01/2004.The long awaited return of Harry Potter finds the main character in trouble , even before the start of the Wizard school. Lord Voldermort's followers form formidable foes for the Order of the Phoenix - a secret order formed to ward off the evil. Not all wizards believe in Harry's stories and this makes life difficult for all at Hogwarts. Once again the finale is well crafted and rivetting. One of the good guys also gets killed in this book.You'll have to read it to find out!
