Right now I am reading Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets by J. K. Rowling. Right now I am on page 42. So far Harry has been trapped in his Aunt in Uncle's house and is forbidden to leave. All he can look forward to is going back to school. But he is warned by a house elf that sneaks into the house. The elf said that Harry should not go back to school for he is in grave danger. Harry kind of ignores it. A few days later Ron Weasley comes and breaks Harry out of the house he was trapped in.  I think that the book is ok so far. It has started with some action but not a ton. Suspense is starting to build though because Harry is warned that he is in danger. I think the author wrote this to continue the series and keep her imagination going. I also think she did it to provide for her only child. So far I think a big theme is poor living. Ron Weasley is very poor and Harry lives a horrible home life.  I think the author wants to remind readers how lucky you are to be who you are. The best quote so far is when Ron says "You have forgot who I have got with me." This is Ron referring to his brothers who can do anything. The question I have is if Harry is really in great danger or if the elf is tricking him or something.
