Harry Potter and the chamber of secrets
by JK Rowling

I re-read it more than a decade later with an intention of introducing my wife to Harry Potter adventures, and this is also undoubtely the first book I read to someone. We started it early February and completed it on 24th March. I realized lots of things which I had forgotten/missed in the first reading. I seem to be able to see more plot holes and silly occurences, but in general the charm is still the same and I had fun reading dramatically to my wife to add suspence.

It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
