(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Mary Grandpre. In this sequel to the phenomenally popular Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Harry returns to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his second year. The atmosphere Rowling creates is unique; the story whizzes along; Harry is an unassuming and completely sympathetic hero. Rowling clearly hit on a winning formula with the first book; the second book--thought still great fun--feels a tad, well, formulaic.
