I liked CoS when I read it for the first time, liked it better than 
PS/SS, anyway. What spoiled it a little for me was the resolution of 
the Diary story line - a memory, possessing people and materializing 
at the end - it seemed not very convincing to me, even for a story 
about magic :-). Now that I know the Diary was a Horcrux, it all 
makes sense, and I like CoS more for this. 

Carol and others already named a few things to like about CoS, but I 
want to add the Weasleys and the Burrow to the list. I also think 
that Lockhart was a great character, although incredibly annoying - 
but that was the whole point, wasn't it :-)?
