Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Potter #2)

By J.K. Rowling

When the seies of Harry Potter Books first came out it wasn't until a write up in the newspaper about this one that I went back with my class and began my very first novel study. I have often heard it said that the biggest contribution to boys literacy was when J.K. Rowling began the Harry Potter series- it got boys back into reading once more. Equally though all those gains were lost when she sold the movie rights a few years later. Well, it was fun while it lasted.

Author

Born in Yate, England, on July 31, 1965, J.K. Rowling came from humble economic means before writing Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, a children's fantasy novel. The work was an international hit and Rowling wrote six more books in the series, which sold hundreds of millions of copies and was adapted into a blockbuster film franchise. In 2012, Rowling released the novel The Casual Vacancy.
