Novel: "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrects"

Summarize:

After Harry and the Weasleys bought books and some other equipments for the 2nd year. they went to the Hogwarts Express in platform 9 and 3/4 . However, the gateway was closed unusually, so Harry and Ron couldn't go through the wall to take the train. Ron decided to drive his father's flying-car to go to school with Harry on the Muggles' sky. They arrived on a large tree in front of Hogwarts and that tree was attacking them. The strange tree was the Whomping Willow. Because of that accident, they almost would be expelled. Fortunate, thank to Professor Dumbledore, they didn't be expelled. And then, Harry and Ron met Hermione in front of the portrait " Fat Lady", which is seemed the key to go inside the Gryffindor. The next day, in the Gryffindor's breakfast, Ron received a red envelope-howler from his mother. It was terrible with Ron. Next, they learned about the Mandrake which is used to return people who were cursed or petrified; and the cry of them could make someone who heard it will be fatal. Furthermore, Harry and the Quidditch team seemed very busy with lots of practices before "Quidditch Match". They made friend with a poor girl whose name is Myrtle was died on the girl's bathroom in 1st floor. While Harry, Ron and Hermione were talking with Nearly Headless Nick, Harry was hearing a strange voice that Ron and Hermione couldn't hear. It said that "......kill.......time to kill......". Harry told Ron and Hermione to follow the voice but they misunderstood Harry because they couldn't hear any strange voice. No one could hear it except Harry. When they run through the Great Hall to go to the corridor, they saw Mrs Norris, who was the caretaker's cat of Mr Filch, was hanging by her tail. She was stiff like a statue and her eyes were wide and staring. In addition, in the wall, " THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS HAS BEEN OPENED. ENEMIES OF THE HEIR, BEWARE" was written by blood. At that time, almost students of Hogwarts and professors were coming the corridor. Mr Filch was very angry when he saw his cat was stiff. He thought Harry and his friends did it, he wanted Professor Dumbledore to expel them. However, Dumbledore seemed to know what had happened. Since the unusual warning that was written by blood appeared, Hogwarts had lots of rumors.


My opinion:
I think this chapters that I summarized are very attractive. Although I used to watch that movie, reading Harry Potter is more excited that watching TV. Because the real story in book has more details than the movie. Also, that makes my reading skill be improved. Right now, I'm trying to get what will happen in the next chapters ( I forgot almost the movie for I just understood about 3o% of the movie). In addition, I felt sad and compassionate about the poor death of Myrtle in the girl's bathroom in 1st floor. Everyone always call her " Fat Myrtle, Moaning Myrtle", and she took an appealing death in a restroom.
