Hilarious story, dodgy accents

Brilliant story that had me laughing out loud. The narrator was generally good but he cannot do a British accent. Miles’s accent was Australian, not British, and Dumblesnore just sounded creepy. Other characters (who are English) were intermittently given Scottish accents. However, this all just added to the fun and general laughter from this this book. A must listen to for die-hard Harry Potter fans.

The gap between the end of a chapter and the start of a chapter is quite large.

I didn’t like the amount of swear words but everything else was so good I have read Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

An alternative perspective on chamber of secret

Having just finished another read through the HP story i needed a quick fix to ease my back to normality and this popped up.
It was so surprisingly good i was hooked and finished in two sittings. The story line fits in perfectly with the events of the chamber of secrets and beautifully fills some of the latter’s plot holes.
The narration, while not in the league of stephen fry, is so zany that it just adds to the magic and humour.
I laughed a lot, definitely worth a read/listen if you’re into this world. I have my fingers crossed for more in the future.

Really stupid

I really enjoyed how everyone was supposed to have an English accent and some of the name changes (copyright purposes of course) but the chapter numbers were mixed up

Don't keep it a secret

I enjoyed this quirky alternative to the Harry Potter series. This is based on the second book in the famous series and although the author has changed the names (some with highly amusing results) you still feel like you are in Hogwarts. I like that it is an American student sorted in to Slytherin (sliperin) and although Harry is in the book he is just a side character and instead Hermione Danger gets her chance to shine and help Austen. Although it is never going to compete with its counter part it is still a fun alternative and explains why things might have played out how they did. I got this for my niece who is the big Potter fan, after she had listened to all the books and while I am not sure she enjoyed it, I certainly found it entertaining.
When Austen's father moves him to England so he can start a new job, he never imaged chasing an owl out of his room would change his life. He has received a letter from Hogwarts. Knowing nothing about magic he will have to learn fast as not only will be Have to learn to fly, do spells but also survive the dungeon. As a sliperin who's dorm is in the dungeons it is not a good time for the chamber of serpents to be open. Can he make friends and survive year two of Hogwarts?
I liked the narrator. Especially when he did the voice for Snape, it sounded just like the late Alan Rickman.

A must read for HP fans

this was just amazing, the way he bends the real story, where it is still basically true to the original storyline just from another angle, the best non-Harry-Potter Harry Potter book I have ever "read"

just a phenomenal job! 😍😍
