Sorry, just had to take issue with this statement. Let's take a moment
to examine just how "easy" this was :

Harry Potter was 12 and at the beginning of his Magical learning.
He had to find the chamber of secrets which NO ONE (not even DD) in
the history of the school had ever done (except Lord Voldemort).
To get that meaningless "poisoned fang" he had to fight and defeat a
beast that few ever survive meeting, much less fighting.
All the while he had to deal with whatever feelings a 12 year old who
is watching his best friend's sister (and closest thing to a real
relative he has) dying in front of him at the feet of the "ghost" of
the one person in the world who's only purpose is to destroy Harry.

Maybe it's just me, but "easy" doesn't seem an apt description of this
particular accomplishment.
