Malfoy is sacked as governor, the final exams are cancelled, and Lockhart resigns as a professor.Publication and reception Development. Rowling found it difficult to finish Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets because she was afraid it would not live up to the expectations raised by ( Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in the U.S.). After delivering the manuscript to Bloomsbury on schedule, she took it back for six weeks of revision. 2In early drafts of the book, the ghost sang a self-composed song explaining his condition and the circumstances of his death.

This was cut as the book's editor did not care for the poem, which has been subsequently published as an extra on J. Rowling's official website. 3 The family background of was removed because Rowling and her publishers considered it an 'unnecessary digression', and she considered 's own journey of discovery 'more important to the central plot'. 4 Publication. Original 1999 US cover of Chamber of Secrets.Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was published in the UK on 2 July 1998 and in the US on 2 June 1999. 5 6 It immediately took first place in UK best-seller lists, displacing popular authors such as, 2 and, 7 and making Rowling the first author to win the Children's Book of the Year for two years in succession. 8 In June 1999, it went straight to the top of three US best-seller lists, 9 including The New York Times'.

10First edition printings had several errors, which were fixed in subsequent reprints. 11 Initially Dumbledore said that Voldemort was the last remaining of, instead of his descendant. 11 's book on werewolves is entitled Weekends with Werewolves at one point and Wanderings with Werewolves later in the book. 12 Critical response. 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' was met with near universal acclaim. In, Deborah Loudon described Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as a children's book that would be 're-read into adulthood' and highlighted its 'strong plots, engaging characters, excellent jokes and a moral message which flows naturally from the story'.

13 Fantasy author agreed, and considered the second Harry Potter book as good as Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, a rare achievement among series of books. 14 Thomas Wagner regarded the plot as very similar to that of the first book, based on searching for a secret hidden under the school. However, he enjoyed the parody of celebrities and their fans that centres round Gilderoy Lockhart, and approved of the book's handling of racism. 15 Tammy Nezol found the book more disturbing than its predecessor, particularly in the rash behaviour of Harry and his friends after Harry withholds information from Dumbledore, and in the human-like behaviour of the used to make a potion that cures. Nevertheless, she considered the second story as enjoyable as the first.

16Mary Stuart thought the final conflict with Tom Riddle in the Chamber was almost as scary as in some of 's works, and perhaps too strong for young or timid children. She commented that 'there are enough surprises and imaginative details thrown in as would normally fill five lesser books.' Like other reviewers, she thought the book would give pleasure to both children and adult readers. 17 According to, the early reviews gave unalloyed praise while the later ones included some criticisms, although they still agreed that the book was outstanding. 18Writing after all seven books had been published, regarded Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as the weakest of the series, and agreed that the plot structure is much the same as in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. He described Fawkes's appearance to arm Harry and then to heal him as a: he said that the book does not explain how Fawkes knew where to find Harry; and Fawkes's timing had to be very precise, as arriving earlier would probably have prevented the battle with the basilisk, while arriving later would have been fatal to Harry and Ginny. 19 Awards and honours.
