The time for them to grow up comes all too quickly. They were so charming and fresh that the reader won't grow tired of them after only two books. The same could be said for the characters. To leave the school grounds during the second book would have certainly given the reader a sense of missing something. Hogwarts is an overwhelming place, there are lots of secrets that are yet to be revealed even now that the seventh book is complete. It is otherwise the same people doing the same things in the same setting.

The only thing that changed is the mystery that has to be solved. I believe anyone who enjoyed The Sorcerer's Stone will also enjoy Chamber of Secrets and for the same reasons. Ron, Hermione and Harry don't believe it is him, and they set off to clear his name and rescue Jinny before it is too late. When Ginny, Ron's sister, comes up missing, the Ministry finally acts and takes Hagrid to Azkaban Prison. If a student dies this time, the school will certainly close. Unfortunately, a student died before Hagrid was brought to "justice".

The attacks back then ended when Hagrid was forced to part with his familiar, a giant spider, and was forbidden to ever use magic again. Teachers nervously explain to their students how similar attacks happened years ago. But the school is shocked as cats, students and ghosts become petrified. In the second book of the series, Harry eagerly returns to Hogwarts and his friends.
