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 1756 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 1575 Views
I don't think I ever truly "hated" Lockheart Seriana Sedai - 26/07/2010 06:09:20 AM 1572 Views
My problems with Dobby are very different from my problems with Lockhart Camilla - 21/07/2010 07:02:55 AM 1669 Views
I can see that and I understand completely. StormCrow - 21/07/2010 02:06:27 PM 1821 Views

This section really brought home to me how well Rowling writes about love and relationships. Rebekah - 21/07/2010 07:22:43 PM 1688 Views
That last remark made me check out the names in the French translation... Legolas - 26/07/2010 05:18:36 PM 1715 Views
Don't get me started on the Norwegian translation. Camilla - 26/07/2010 09:52:09 PM 1638 Views
Ahahahahaha! Rebekah - 26/07/2010 09:55:17 PM 1494 Views

Deathday Party - seemed like filler to me. Not a big fan. StormCrow - 21/07/2010 02:33:53 PM 1654 Views
Yeah, I didn't like that either. Rebekah - 22/07/2010 06:56:39 PM 1605 Views
It is a plot device Camilla - 23/07/2010 10:11:45 PM 1574 Views

Re: Yup. Camilla - 26/07/2010 03:01:15 PM 1602 Views
I agree. And plain jealousy that Harry's hogging the spotlight time and again. Legolas - 26/07/2010 05:28:09 PM 1703 Views
And then some... Camilla - 23/07/2010 10:31:56 PM 1466 Views

Character development Rebekah - 19/07/2010 09:37:01 AM 1472 Views
Re: Character development Seriana Sedai - 20/07/2010 06:45:43 AM 1497 Views
Similar to the first, but a nice step up in complexity. Nate - 19/07/2010 07:56:45 PM 1994 Views
I found an error i the POA preview in the back of my book Deadsy - 20/07/2010 10:51:42 AM 1471 Views
Yeah i have that edition too *NM* Dark Knight - 21/07/2010 12:43:12 AM 881 Views
Thoughts on the movie quality Deadsy - 21/07/2010 04:15:20 AM 1392 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 897 Views
I wonder if Rowling ever looks back and wishes she could change some stuff Dark Knight - 21/07/2010 06:44:41 PM 1502 Views
I think this book isn't as deep or as thoughtful as the first. Rebekah - 23/07/2010 11:36:17 PM 1548 Views
I feel the same way. aria - 24/07/2010 01:04:39 AM 1413 Views
Agreed. Camilla - 26/07/2010 03:22:48 PM 1513 Views

Re: OK. Camilla - 23/07/2010 10:43:56 PM 1584 Views
Do we want a wee break before the next book? Rebekah - 24/07/2010 10:47:07 AM 1432 Views
I'm indifferent 'cause I can't find my copy of POA *NM* Deadsy - 26/07/2010 01:27:05 AM 966 Views
Nonononono! Camilla - 26/07/2010 03:12:56 PM 1481 Views

we need an impatient smiley that taps its foot while looking grumpy. *NM* Camilla - 27/07/2010 08:51:30 PM 875 Views
More than anything! *NM* Seriana Sedai - 27/07/2010 09:01:33 PM 881 Views
It's not Wednesday yet! *NM* Legolas - 27/07/2010 09:26:21 PM 795 Views
But it was a question: Camilla - 27/07/2010 10:25:27 PM 1452 Views
Yes, but the two possibilities in Rebekah's post were either Wednesday or next Monday. Legolas - 27/07/2010 10:33:10 PM 1795 Views
