chamber conclusions

Well, I've just finish Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by the one and only, most lovely Jo Rowling. Last blog I was having conflicting opinions about whether it was one of my least favorite in the series and I have come to the conclusions that, as much as I hate Lockhart, it's not.

The ending, in the actual chamber is one of my favorite parts in the novel. I get to see Ginny, Tom Riddle, Fawkes and best of all a dumb founded Gilderoy Lockhart.

I know I touched briefly on the horcrux thing last blog, but in the last two chapters there's a ton of foreshadowing. It's crazy that we knew about something before we were introduced to it. Riddle tells to Harry in the chamber, "I grew stonger and stonger on a diet of her deepest fears, her darkest secrets." Much like the sixth books when Dumbledore puts on the ring and it reminds him of his sister, and in the seventh book when the trio passes around' the locket making them moody, and finally when Ron kills the locket, the horcrux preys on his love for Hermione. Or how crazy the piece of Voldemort makes Harry in the fifth book.

In this chapter we also learn how much alike both Voldemort and Harry are. "Both half-bloods, orphans, raised by Muggles. Probably the only two Parselmouths to come to Hogwarts since the great Slytherin himsel. We even look something alike..."

Might I add that Dumbledore even says that a piece of Voldemort is inside Harry. "Not something he intended to do, I'm sure..."

This book really wraps up nicely. Hermione awake, Ginny alive and most importantly Gilderoy in St. Mungo's for good.

Onwards to Azkaban!
