About this movie

After a long summer with the horrid Dursleys, Harry Potter is thwarted in his attempts to board the train to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry to begin his second year. Harry's only transportation option is a magical flying car, but, unfortunately, it crashes into a valuable Whomping Willow. Still, all this seems like a day in the park compared to what awaits Harry that fall within the haunted halls of Hogwarts.Chilling, malevolent voices whisper from the walls only to Harry and it seems certain that his classmate Draco Malfoy is out to get him. Soon it's not just Harry who is worried about survival, as dreadful things begin to happen at the school. The mysteriously gleaming foot high words on the wall proclaim: "The Chamber of Secrets Has Been Opened. Enemies of the Heir, Beware.

Ratings and reviews

Ok, so its not the most original story, being a rip-off of "the worst witch", but its still one of the best films series of all time! Although this 2nd film in the series is the weekest if you ask me. They cut out about 80% of the story from the books though, so I would LOVE to see a full and unabridged TV series from the books!

This movie wasn't my favorite but it's so hard to do justice to JK's work and ideas in only a couple of hours. It was definitely directed to be more family friendly and my boys enjoy it. It's pretty cool to share something from my childhood with my kids 😎

Thank the series Author for her insensitive comments. I don't support anyone that spews and condones hatred.
