Advantages: Great story, good price, helps improve german knowledge Disadvantages: None for me
Harry Potter undDie Kammer Des Schreckens is the german translation of the second book in the very popular Harry Potter series by JK Rowling.

The basic storyline is that of a police agent who goes to see his wife and kids who he lives apart from in new york for christmas, but when he is at the office block she works in, all hell breaks loose and a huge ...
