 | | The darkness that invades "Chamber of Secrets" underlines how well the books managed to exactly balance good and evil, dark and light, so that within their pages you seemed to be experiencing both at the same time. | | | To be fair, these creatures appear in the book as well, but it is one thing to read about them and another to actually see them on the big screen, a difference the filmmakers, without a sense of what is fitting in a film like this, should have been sensitive to but were not. | | | To give the devil its further due, "Chamber" has a bit of the magic of the Rowling originals, mostly in its ability to reproduce some of the book's peripheral tricks. |

| | Mystified by Magic?: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets |
| | Harry and Ron defend Hagrid and see his name returned to its deserved good repute, because he is their friend and they believe in him. | | | Also, Harry’s loyalty to good professor Dumbledore is what summons help to him in his battle in the Chamber. | | | The snake’s tail thrashed, narrowly missing Harry, and before Harry could shut his eyes, it turned — Harry looked straight into its face and saw that its eyes, both its great, bulbous yellow eyes, had been punctured … blood was streaming to the floor, and the snake was spitting in agony.” |

| | Amazon.com: DVD: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (Widescreen Edition) (Harry Potter 2) (2002) |
| | However, I predict its relative simplicity will make "Chamber of Secrets" the most successful book-to-movie translation in the series, as it is undoubtably better than the first movie, and it will be a daunting task for film-makers to tackle the intricate plot lines of book three and the collosal book four. | | | "The Chamber of Secrets" novel in the Harry Potter series is generally considered the weakest of J. Rowling's books - it does not have the joyful discovery of "Philosopher's Stone", the dark twists of "Prisioner of Azkaban" or the epic nature of "Goblet of Fire", but is simply a very good story. | | | Excitement is already on the move however, as when Harry enters his bedroom the house elf Dobby is waiting for him, who warns him that under no circumstances is he to return to Hogwarts, where a great danger is waiting for him. |

| | There are, of course, certain things the filmmakers need to sort out before Harry Potter can really contest with movies like Lord of the Rings. | | | If the filmmakers continue to stay faithful to the books, the ratings of future Harry Potter movies is a very pressing issue. | | | Any possible development in character, plot, and theme is sacrificed. |

| | But students, suspect Harry is the culprit, given his gift to speak Parselmouth, the language of snakes. | | | Harry, Ron and Hermione, must work together to stop the evil, that is literally petrifying the students. | | | Like it's predecessor, HP-CoS is again lacking an audio commentary which should have been considered a mere formality on such a high profile disc. |

| | The Z Review - Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets |
| | People start to suspect that Harry is responsible for the attacks seeing he appears to be the heir of Slytherin due to being able to speak Parsel-tongue (basically snake language). | | | There’s a clip with every character that speaks in the movie more or less, my favorite being the interview with Jason Isaacs who really shows his love for his character of Lucius Malfoy. | | | This sets up many diverging plot lines with Harry and Ron searching for the Chamber with help from Hagrid who is sent to the Prison at Azkaban upon suspicion that he opened the Chamber. |

| | The evil snake monster that resides in the Chamber of Secrets “was quite a challenge,” Thom says, “because it's a giant snake, but it's also like a dragon — not many snakes have teeth like that. | | | The principal trick was to play each word in some kind of deep reverb — usually a chamber, with a long decay time — and then reverse that so you hear the word sort of rush in backward up to — in the case of the word ‘kill’ — the first consonant. | | | Thom did nearly all of his work in Pro Tools doing his initial conceptions at Skywalker, but then headed over to Shepperton Studios in England for the bulk of the assignment. |

| | DVDFILE.COM: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets review |
| | I know I'm supposed to be surprised by the twists and turns of the story, but since there is absolutely no deviation from the original source material, am I wrong for wanting to stick to my own imagination and just read the book? | | | New forms of magic, character relationships and long-kept secrets are revealed so often and so arbitrarily that I soon lost track of how it all worked. | | | Chamber of Secrets is hyper-active, breathless in how it jumps from one scene to the next, from magic trick to huge action setpiece. |

| | This review may not be reprinted, in whole or in part, without the express consent of its author. | | | That the film is a worthy swan song for Richard Harris, a man of a storied career, is first a surprise, then an incalculable relief--and destined to be the proudest legacy of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, a beautifully crafted dark fable. | | | Best of all, its makers understand that in a magical alternate universe, the sight of an animate tree or a moving painting is as mundane as a daisy or a toaster. |

| | Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets |
| | Some of the best movie adaptations do not adhere rigorously to the author's text. | | | It's up to Harry and his two friends to uncover the individual behind the plot and foil him or her before Hogwarts is closed. | | | The second film may be a little darker than the first, but the two pictures mesh perfectly — not surprising, considering that many of the same people were responsible for both. |

| | The title doesn't bring a whopping amount of innovation to the table, but it does at least know what works. | | | The Chamber of Secrets, developed skillfully by Eurocom Entertainment, closely follows the book and movie of the same name. | | | There are also lots of mini-games, from dunking gnomes in water to competing in contests to see how far one can throw them. |

| | The story is one that, even with a full knowledge of the book beforehand, grabs the viewer and leaves him gasping with each new twist and turn. | | | Suddenly everyone is on their guard against the heir of Slytherin, the one who was prophecied to come back and open the chamber, releasing horrible death on those who were not of pure wizard blood. | | | The second in the Harry Potter series finds Harry returning to Hogwarts (requiring some help from the Weasley's and their flying car to effect his escape from the Dursley's.) But shortly upon arriving, bad things begin to happen. |

| | If you liked Philosopher's Stone, then I recommend you add this to your collection as well. | | | The down-side to this approach is that we don't have any in-depth character exploration, and we also lose out on some of the humour of the book, such as much of Rowling's witty self-parody of the best-selling author, Professor Gilderoy Lockhart. | | | Chamber of Secrets was a wonderful aural experience at the cinemas, and it is a real home-theatre gem when it comes to sound. |

| | I regret telling you such a foolish story!" | | | The Chamber of Secrets is a legendary secret room constructed by Salazar Slytherin to house a monster which would finish his "noble work." This noble work would be accomplished when his true heir would open the Chamber and release the monster which lived within to rid the school of non-pureblood students. | | | The reason no one could find the Chamber is that it required someone to speak in Parseltongue to open its entrance, and this was a power which only a very few have ever had. |

| | Tower Records - Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets - Original Soundtrack |
| | Prologue: Book II And The Escape From The Dursley's | | | HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS provides a perfect reminder of the excitement, intrigue and light-hearted spirit of both the film and J.K. Rowling's novels. | | | This style may seem slightly out of character for Williams (who's known more for his grand, sweeping statements and heart-stopping climaxes), but the effect is totally appropriate for what is, after all, a movie about a teenage wizard who rides around on a broom in a coat and tie. |

| | Review: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets |
| | Whenever Columbus steps back from his story for just a second to let his audience marvel at the work he and JK Rowling have created, the film is at its most magnificent. | | | The effects are cleaner, the story is more complicated and interesting, and the acting and even the set pieces are more elaborate than the last time. | | | In the end though, Harry Potter is all about magic and Chamber of Secrets lacks some of the magic and heart that made the first so special. |

| | The third book is even more frightening, which makes the issue of substandard action music even more weighty. | | | The integration of character cross-references is, of course, a strong highlight of the books, and Williams has proven with the increasingly complex Star Wars score that such integration is no difficulty for him. | | | The lengthy emphasis on the Fawkes theme, which isn't particularly memorable in the first place, is a curious aspect of especially the album of music from the film. |
