The Great Harry Potter re-read: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Rebekah Send a noteboard - 19/07/2010 09:32:22 AM
Hi, Rafonauts

Welcome to discussion of the second book. We're doing this one a little differently. Today's discussion centres around chapters 1-3, Tuesday = 4-6, Wednesday = 7-9, Thursday = 10-12, Friday = 13-15 and Monday 26 = 16-18.

As before, these are the rules:


- Please keep your replies under the sub-threads below. You are welcome to start your own main headings as well.

- Although this is a re-read, it is possible that people haven’t yet read the books and are just reading this to help them decide whether they’re finally going to take the plunge and start the series. Accordingly, please keep spoilers out of subject lines.

- If you’ve got any suggestions for the rest of the re-read then post them in the suggestions thread below.


Delight.

Enjoy!

I can't remember how much I hated him the first read Deadsy - 21/07/2010 03:44:15 AM 1891 Views
You're right. It's not as bad the second (or third) time around with him. StormCrow - 21/07/2010 01:54:01 PM 1694 Views
I don't think I ever truly "hated" Lockheart Seriana Sedai - 26/07/2010 06:09:20 AM 1692 Views
My problems with Dobby are very different from my problems with Lockhart Camilla - 21/07/2010 07:02:55 AM 1791 Views
I can see that and I understand completely. StormCrow - 21/07/2010 02:06:27 PM 1947 Views

Yeah. Rebekah - 23/07/2010 10:15:21 PM 1775 Views
This section really brought home to me how well Rowling writes about love and relationships. Rebekah - 21/07/2010 07:22:43 PM 1804 Views
That last remark made me check out the names in the French translation... Legolas - 26/07/2010 05:18:36 PM 1831 Views
Don't get me started on the Norwegian translation. Camilla - 26/07/2010 09:52:09 PM 1749 Views
Ahahahahaha! Rebekah - 26/07/2010 09:55:17 PM 1630 Views

Deathday Party - seemed like filler to me. Not a big fan. StormCrow - 21/07/2010 02:33:53 PM 1770 Views
Yeah, I didn't like that either. Rebekah - 22/07/2010 06:56:39 PM 1709 Views
It is a plot device Camilla - 23/07/2010 10:11:45 PM 1693 Views

Re: Yup. Camilla - 26/07/2010 03:01:15 PM 1715 Views
I agree. And plain jealousy that Harry's hogging the spotlight time and again. Legolas - 26/07/2010 05:28:09 PM 1831 Views
And then some... Camilla - 23/07/2010 10:31:56 PM 1572 Views

Character development Rebekah - 19/07/2010 09:37:01 AM 1580 Views
Re: Character development Seriana Sedai - 20/07/2010 06:45:43 AM 1611 Views
Similar to the first, but a nice step up in complexity. Nate - 19/07/2010 07:56:45 PM 2115 Views
I found an error i the POA preview in the back of my book Deadsy - 20/07/2010 10:51:42 AM 1581 Views
Yeah i have that edition too *NM* Dark Knight - 21/07/2010 12:43:12 AM 968 Views
Thoughts on the movie quality Deadsy - 21/07/2010 04:15:20 AM 1511 Views
I always felt that the first two movies were the best, and the others bungled the atmosphere. *NM* lord-of-shadow - 21/07/2010 03:08:29 PM 985 Views
I wonder if Rowling ever looks back and wishes she could change some stuff Dark Knight - 21/07/2010 06:44:41 PM 1613 Views
I think this book isn't as deep or as thoughtful as the first. Rebekah - 23/07/2010 11:36:17 PM 1657 Views
I feel the same way. aria - 24/07/2010 01:04:39 AM 1529 Views
Agreed. Camilla - 26/07/2010 03:22:48 PM 1617 Views

Re: OK. Camilla - 23/07/2010 10:43:56 PM 1701 Views
Do we want a wee break before the next book? Rebekah - 24/07/2010 10:47:07 AM 1554 Views
I'm indifferent 'cause I can't find my copy of POA *NM* Deadsy - 26/07/2010 01:27:05 AM 1058 Views
Nonononono! Camilla - 26/07/2010 03:12:56 PM 1591 Views

we need an impatient smiley that taps its foot while looking grumpy. *NM* Camilla - 27/07/2010 08:51:30 PM 967 Views
More than anything! *NM* Seriana Sedai - 27/07/2010 09:01:33 PM 973 Views
It's not Wednesday yet! *NM* Legolas - 27/07/2010 09:26:21 PM 883 Views
But it was a question: Camilla - 27/07/2010 10:25:27 PM 1556 Views
Yes, but the two possibilities in Rebekah's post were either Wednesday or next Monday. Legolas - 27/07/2010 10:33:10 PM 1914 Views
