Harry unlocks the Chamber of Secrets riddle and ends up in mortal combat with a monstrous snake and the person behind the plot. Harry finds a book with no writing that speaks to him and tells him about a boy named Tom Riddle, who found the Chamber of Secrets 50 years before. Uncle Vernon puts bars on the window to Harrys room, and three of Harrys friends from Hogwarts, including the red-haired Ron Weasley and his brothers, rescue Harry from the clutches of his muggle relatives in a 1950s flying British car.Īfter several adventures, Ron and Harry make their way back to Hogarth and find out that some strange things are happening at the school, all of which point to a curse that will be unleashed if the ancient Chamber of Secrets is opened. Like any house elf, Dobby makes a racket. He warns Harry not to go back to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. A nicely animated CGI house elf named Dobby appears, who is one of the few real characters in the movie. These caricature people make it clear that they do not like Harry and that he should stay in his room and not interfere with their lives. The movie opens with Harry back at home with his horrible uncle, aunt and miserable cousin Dudley. Several of these manipulate the audience into feeling good about the characters in the movie and perhaps even clapping for the movie. When the jeopardy does engage, the movie becomes an exciting action adventure fantasy that follows the classic model of heroic tales, but, then, it has several curtain call endings. With nothing at stake, the movie at first appears to be a series of vignettes. Like the first two books and the first movie, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets suffers from an ambling, prolonged introduction that doesnt quite clarify what the jeopardy is or who the villain is. However, be forewarned: knowledge of the Harry Potter books or the first movie is a necessity for fully comprehending this second in the series. The second edition of Harry Potter is slightly better constructed and more emotionally involving than the first movie, which, of course, will help it to make a lot of money.
