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."

"Harry Potter must not go to Hogwarts this year!"
Following the well-deserved success of the 2001 film "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", director Chris Columbus returned in 2002 with the impressive sequel, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". Based upon the children's books written by acclaimed author J.K. Rowlings, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" is a much darker tale than its predecessor. As the famous Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) prepares to return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his second year, he is saddened by not having heard all summer from his good friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson). One night, while his Uncle Vernon Dursley (Richard Griffiths), his Aunt Petunia (Fiona Shaw) and his cousin Dudley Dursley (Harry Melling) are preparing to entertain important guests, Harry gets an unexpected and unruly visitor: Dobby the House Elf (voice by Toby Jones). Dobby warns Harry not to return to Hogwarts this year because he would be in serious danger, but Harry refuses to heed Dobby's warning. Dobby then gets Harry into some serious trouble, but Ron and his twin brothers Fred and George (James & Oliver Phelps respectively) rescue Harry from the Dursley's in their father's flying car. Harry & Ron eventually get to Hogwarts, but get into more trouble. Also, suspicion towards Harry grows as people and animals start to become petrified with warnings written in blood that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. Can Harry find out who or what is behind it all before Hogwarts is shut down, and will he understand that he really belongs in Griffindore?Returning Hogwarts staff in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" include Professor Snape (Alan Rickman), Professor McGonagall (Maggie Smith), Professor Albus Dumbledore (Richard Harris, 1930-2002), Argus Filch (David Bradley) and groundskeeper Rubeus Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane). Hogwarts new Professor Against the Dark Arts is the acclaimed author Gilderoy Lockhart (Kenneth Branagh), and the magical plants professor is Professor Sprout (Miriam Margolyes). Also returning is ghost Nearly Headless Nick (John Cleese, who is well known for his work in the British TV comedic series "Monty Python") and students Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis), the obnoxious Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) and Percy Weasley (Chris Rankin). In addition to Mrs. Weasley (Julie Waters) is her husband Arthur Weasley (Mark Williams) and their young daughter Virginia 'Ginny' Weasley (Bonnie Wright), who is going to Hogwarts as a first-year student. Draco's father Lucius Malfoy (Jason Isaacs) is also introduced and illustrates where Draco got his attitude. Also introduced at Hogwarts is another of its many ghosts, Moaning Myrtle (Shirley Henderson) and a past student named Tom Marvolo Riddle (Christian Coulson).It was very sad when long-time actor Richard Harris passed away shortly before the theatrical release of "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". He was twice nominated for Best Actor by the Academy Awards for his work in the 1963 film "This Sporting Life" and the 1990 film "The Field". He was well known for his work in the 1967 musical "Camelot", in which he played King Arthur, as well as his leading roles in the films "A Man Called Horse" (1970), "Cromwell" (1970), "Gladiator" (2000) and, of course, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" (2001). Though Michael Gambon will play the character of Albus Dumbledore in future Harry Potter films, Richard Harris' contributions to these plus his other film roles will never be forgotten. Thank you Richard Harris.Memorable scenes in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" include the flying cake, the flying car scenes, the chimney, the bookstore, the whomping willow, the spiders, Moaning Myrtle, the transformation spell, Professor Dumbledore's office, the challenge with Draco, the chamber, and the final scenes. Overall, I rate "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" with a resounding 5 out of 5 stars. It's a wonderful film that I highly recommend to everyone.
