Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets 8/20

Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets

Pages 115-341 end

Prompt 1.) What is the main conflict of the book? 2.) What was the thing that surprised you the most in the book? 3.) Would you recommend this book?





             The main conflict of the book is about how student at Hogwarts are being petrified (petrified to be frozen in a coma state) and Harry Potter has to find out how is doing this. This conflict is man vs nature do to the fact that the character that have were petrified are by a magical creature. This is shown on page 290 where it is stated "This snake, which may reach gigantic size..."Which shows the reader that the thing petrified the student in the book is an animal, and animals are part of nature.  The conflict is resolved when Harry Potter eliminates the giant snake, this is shown on page 320 where it is narrated " Harry threw his whole weight behind the sword and drove the hilt into the roof of the serpent's mouth-" Which shows the reader that the snake would have been terminated.


 
               The thing that surprised the most in this book is the fact that J.K Rowling decided that Hermione could not be in the final act of the book. The reason that this excited me is the fact that most author are very care of not harming their main character to much. Another reason is that she had nearly no interaction or mention for over multiple chapters. She also completely uninvolved in the climaxed she is not reference or seen or even knowing that it has happening at all.  She only comes back into the picture until the last chapter of the book.



                I would recommend the book Harry Potter and The Chamber to my friends and family member for multiple reason. The first reason that I would recommend this book is because the character development is very good you can see how the characters are changing after experiencing new things. Another reason that I would recommend this book is the fact that the book is very hard to put down after you start reading you will be invested in the character so you want to know what will happen to them. Even though the climax of the book is not at full potential, the resolution makes you feel like the book has a great ending.  The book also has great moments that you will not see coming and surprise you.
