Publisher's Summary
‘There is a plot, Harry Potter. A plot to make most terrible things happen at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry this year.'
Harry Potter's summer has included the worst birthday ever, doomy warnings from a house-elf called Dobby, and rescue from the Dursleys by his friend Ron Weasley in a magical flying car! Back at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his second year, Harry hears strange whispers echo through empty corridors - and then the attacks start. Students are found as though turned to stone... Dobby's sinister predictions seem to be coming true.
Having become classics of our time, the Harry Potter stories never fail to bring comfort and escapism. With their message of hope, belonging and the enduring power of truth and love, the story of the Boy Who Lived continues to delight generations of new listeners.

Jim Dale isn't my favourite
Reader pronounces certain words differently than I expect them to be said, but overall a pleasant experience.

A great travel buddy
Our family greatly enjoyed listening to this on our road trip. The kids preferred to hear Harry Potter over watching DVD’s.

Fabulous Book, Okay Narrator
Obviously the book is a well-loved classic, and I knew that re-reading this in audible form, I would love it just as much. However, the narrator is not at all my favorite. It was read at a good pace and the descriptions and general story were easy to listen to, but the way he read people's voices and conversations bugged me a lot. He would drag out words that I would read short, and changed the way characters said things from the way they are described. It made a lot of the talking points a bit hard to listen to, it got a bit irksome! I may be being a bit hard on it though, as I have read the books so many times and watched the movies, that things are burned in my mind a certain way and I don't love when it is changed up.

This was the first HP book that I have ever read
I watched Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and decided to get this book, and then I was hooked. I remember the first time I read this book.

Calming and funny
This story is a classic and I always love listening to it while I fall asleep. The reader has great impressions of the characters and I absolutely loved this podcast

Not as good as book 1
Fantastic narration but the story wasn’t as compelling as book 1. I will go on with the series.

Making No Noise and Pretending I'm Not There.
“When in doubt, go to the library.”
― J.K. Rowling, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Reviewing these books again as they've come out on Audible has been a thrill. My kids are at the age where they are venturing alone now into YA classics.
What I love most about Chamber of Secrets is how this novel proved that Sorcerer's Stone was NOT just a one-off-wonder. JK Rowling actually had a plan, a progression, and an ability to grow her characters and her series. 'Sorcerer's Stone' was great for its discovery, its newness, its magic. Chamber of Secrets was great because it was the first book of JK Rowling's where I discovered that JK Rowling was the REAL magician.

Excellent
This narrator is the reason why I fell in love with audiobooks 11 years ago, I'm so glad the whole series is now here.

10/10. Like watching a movie in your head.
Jim Dale can read the most boring book in the world and make it seem alive and interesting. Needless to say though, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is far from a boring book. Greatly enjoyed it from start to finish.

Enchanting
We all need fantasy to turn to when reality closes in. The Chronicles of Narnia, Lord of the Rings, Peter Pan and now Harry Potter lead the way.

Creepy and Perfect
Any additional comments?
This was my favorite of all the harry potters when I was 11. This reading made me feel certain of this again. Jim Dale did a mystical job and made me love how creepy this story was. Showed you the characters true colors in his changing of his voices for every character. Very funny moments throughout. BUY THIS AND EVERY HARRY POTTER BOOK.

What is not to like about Harry Potter
Where does Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Book 2 rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is in a class of its own. Jim Dale makes these books so enjoyable and even though I have read this book about three time, it was a pleasure to listen to it.
Who was your favorite character and why?
In this book my favorite character is Ron Weasley. Ron is so brave while being so frightened that he just makes me laugh.
Have you listened to any of Jim Dale’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
I listened to Jim Dale narrate The Sorcerer's Stone and thought there is someone who really understands what it means to read Harry Potter aloud. His voice characterizations are superb...he has picked up many of the movie characters inflections, which makes the reader think there is more than one reader.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
Since this book is a film that is a difficult question...
Any additional comments?
Everyone who has the opportunity should listen to these books. Even if you have read them, just for the sheer enjoyment.
