Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

     I just finished a book called Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. It is one of the books in the magnificent series written by J.K.Rowling. Even though it is very good, I didn't rush through it because I had been rushing through the books in this series for 6 times, not counting this time. Therefore, I took my time and read it throughout and to absorb the small details that I missed while rushing through the book the previous times. This is the book:

I must say that I love this series very much because of its intensifying plot and magnetism. It attracts everything even if you are a person who find reading's a bore. As you read this book, or series, you will find yourself lost in a world of magical beings that will hypnotize your consciousness and will bring you away to another world of adventure. You will be accompanying Harry and his friends on their mission to defeat Voldemort and bring peace to both the Magical and Muggle world.











Book Review:
     In this book you will find Harry lost in another year at Hogwarts with loads of troubles and problems to solve. This year, Harry is learning a lot more things and also his social life also became more comfortable because he is making new friends. His friends aren't just the people he learns with, the people who helped him and assists him when he runs into a trouble.
     This year, there is a new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher which is professor Gilderoy Lockhart. He was known for doing many heroic things for many people using his skills to fight against the Dark Arts. However, in the end, everything reveals that he is only a liar who casts the Memory Charm on people who did huge things for people and erase their memories. As he does that, he steals the credit.

Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince!

          Everyone must had heard of the series Harry Potter. I am reading this series for the 7th time of my life. However, this time I decided to read it disorderly, therefore, I started with the 7th book, then the 5th book, then the 4th book, then the 3rd book and now the 6th book, Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. You see, it's because that the series is really good, that's why I had read for so many times.



So, I just finished this and this is exceptionally addictive. ;) I read this book very quickly ... It was really hard to release your fingers from the book. Even though this is the 7th time reading it ... I still have such enthusiasm reading it because J. K. Rowling made a WONDERFUL book. I am serious! People are borrowing books from this series, I can't find this book in the library so I had to read my copy ... a paper copy :(. So anyway, this book is wonderful. Let's hear what people think about Harry Potter and the 6th book of the Harry Potter series. 


So.... This book is about Harry 6th year at Hogwarts! Well, he was visited by Dumbledore when he was in uncle Vernon's house in the summer. Dumbledore brought him to visit his new Potion teacher, Horace Slughorn and ended up at the Weasleys' house. Everyone in the Weasleys' house were very surprised that Harry was there but ended up laughing knowing that Dumbledore brought him here. And I was kind of surprise knowing that Dumbledore likes knitting. So yeah, Harry attended his 6th year at Hogwarts. This year, professor Snape, teaches the subject "Defense Against the Dark Arts", which was the subject he had been wanting to teach. Harry used to hate the Potions class but not anymore with the new teacher, Horace Slughorn. One day, Harry finds this Potion book written by an expert in the art of Potion making, called Half-Blood prince. With the help of the book, he had learned many things about potion and his friends don't, even Hermione was surprised to have to admit that Harry is getting better in potions. Also, in this year, Dumbledore taught him the concept of Horcruxes using Professor Slughorn. They tricked him to give them his memory of the day Tom Riddle, Voldemort now, talked to him about Horcruxes. Horcruxes simply are things that are used to overcome death. These are magical tools that keep your souls in there and prevent you from dying. He ripped his soul into 7 pieces and put them into 7 Horcruxes. Harry and Dumbledore will have to destroy the Horcruxes in order to put Voldemort to an end. Will they accomplish this? Will anything happen that seems to be bizarre? Read this book and answer your questions.

Children of the Lamp - The King Cobra of Kathmandu

      Children of the Lamp had gotten into its intensifying moment. I just finished the third book of the series which is the Cobra King of Kathmandu. Today, I am going to introduce to you this amazing book.

The adventure begins on the birthday of John and Philippa, when their friend Buck, who's a djinn, just like the twins, doesn't attend the party.  He's gone somewhere. A few days later John gets their new birthday computers up and running, and as soon as he opens his email account, a message from Buck pops up. Buck is in trouble and he is needing their help. He had made two new friends and they have been murdered, and the killers are now after him.  Killers who turn out to look very much like the burglars who broke into John and Philippa's house, these killers who use the venom of the king cobras to kill their victims, killers who seem to be after a picture Buck has, a picture from India, of a huge king cobra, being prayed by the men surrounding him. 
Uncle Nimrod and his friend Mr. Rakshashas are on the trail of tracking down the Eight Cobras, but they will need the help of Buck, John, Philippa and even Layla or also called Mrs. Gaunt, the twins' mother, who will be the next Blue Djinn. They go from New York to London, from London to Nepal, and from Nepal to India, the home of the cult and the giant snake god.  They must defeat him, or die trying.
