"You will find that I will only truly left this school when none here are loval to me" 

The second book for Harry Potter is a lot like the the first one, it is an easy read that goes by really quickly sometimes to the detriment of the overall book. 

The highlight of this book is Gilderoy Lockhart and how he is used as a commentary on celebrity. He is perfect as the annoying teacher who is actually a fraud and knows nothing about what he is supposed to. The only thing that bugs me about it is why would Dumbledore hire someone that he knows is not a good wizard. 

The book continues the themes of trying to figure out who you are and what makes you from the first one. 

This book is just like the first book but a little less magical
