Harry Potter and The Chamber Of Secret - My Favourite Lines

Below were some lines in 'Harry Potter and The Chamber Of Secrets' which made way to my notepad.

1. Hearing voices no one else can hear isn't a good sign, even in the wizarding world.

2. Celebrity is as celebrity does

3. Books can be misleading

4. Anyone can make a mistake,

5. When in doubt, go to the library.

6. Honestly, if you were any slower, you’d be going backward

7. Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can't see where it keeps its brain?

8. The best of us must sometimes eat our words,

9. It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.

10. His eyes are as green as a fresh pickled toad,
     His hair is as dark as a blackboard.
     I wish he was mine, he's really divine,
     The hero who conquered the Dark Lord.

11. Oh, Potter, you rotter, oh, what have you done,
     You’re killing off students, you think it’s good fun

Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets by J. K. Rowling

Second in the series after 'Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone', Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets continues  to be favourite among teenagers.
Harry Potter is eagerly waiting for his second year to get started at Hogwarts. Each passing day brings in more hatred to him from Dursleys. His wait is finally over but the adventures begun before he could even board the train at King's Cross Station. Hogwarts suddenly faces a serious warning as mysteriously gleaming, foot-high words on the wall that proclaim, "The Chamber of Secrets Has Been Opened. Enemies of the Heir, Beware". Harry along with his best friends is obviously on his to solve the mystery and face several near death encounters - stolen flying cars, giant spiders, giant serpent and many more.

The author, J.K. Rowling, has really built up the characters in the earlier novels so it made me feel as though they are real. I was well connected to them. The flow of story was nice and easy to follow.

What I liked about the book:
1. Easy connection to the previous series.
2. The anagram to "Tom Marvolo Riddle" was really a surprise factor.

What I did not like about the book:
1. I felt the story moved at a very slow pace.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed the book and it was only thing on my mind till I finished it.
Lost in the world of magic, here are some notable lines I could catch while reading it - My Favourite Lines From Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets.
