In one of the most hotly anticipated sequels in memory, J.K. Rowling takes up where she left with Harry's second year at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Old friends and new torments abound, including a spirit named Moaning Myrtle who haunts the girl's bathroom, an outrageously conceited professor, Gilderoy Lockheart, and a mysterious force that turns Hogwarts students to stone.

My reading of Harry Porter is blended with french and english: I started off with english and right at half of it, i turned to french. The reason why i did that could turn into a long story, but that's not what i am trying to discuss here. Anyhow, it may be due to the reason mentioned aboved, my impression to this book is not very grandiose. I mean, it was a fast reading. but anyhow, no deeper meaning, no wonderful vocabulary, it just meant to be a fastfood sort of thing. Other than that, great use of foreshadowing, the plot is consistent, no major holes in the story, quite imaginative description here there, it certainly is not a cheap story.
