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 (and clearly vexed) 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".

With the character-establishing first book adaptation out of the way, the Chamber of Secrets gets to play around in the world of Harry Potter and have a little more fun. It succeeds very well in finding the mood of the surprisingly scary second novel, and everything (performances, set design, effects, score) goes above the quality of the first film. Columbus' lazy edits still bother me, but overall he puts out a much more quality film. The extended cut helps to flesh out several scenes much better in this sequel than in the first movie.

All of a sudden, last week, my extended edition is GONE. It switched to the normal version. I paid more money for the extended, now I have 2 of the same version since I bought both versions. What a rip off. We should just stop buying from Google play store.

Forever I have loved the harry potter series and my favorite book and movie is The Order of the Phoenix and if you pay attention like me you can see that the extra six minutes adds things from the book. P.S. Any Body Who Has The Nerve To Say Harry Potter sucks I will use the Corfundus charm on them! P.P.S. THROW THE CHEESE!!!!!!!
