Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a 2002 fantasy film directed by Chris Columbus from a screenplay by Steve Kloves. It is based on the 1998 novel Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J. K. Rowling. Produced by David Heyman, it is the sequel to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) and the second instalment in the Harry Potter film series. The film stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, with Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as his best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger respectively. The story follows Harry's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where the Heir of Salazar Slytherin opens the Chamber of Secrets, unleashing a monster that petrifies the school's students.

The film was released in the United Kingdom and the United States on 15 November 2002, by Warner Bros. Pictures. It became a critical and commercial success, grossing $878 million worldwide (domestic 29.7% and foreign 70.2%)<ref name="BOX" /> and becoming the second-highest-grossing film of 2002.<ref name="BOX" /> The film was nominated for many awards, including the BAFTA Award for Best Production Design, Best Sound, and Best Special Visual Effects. It was followed by Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2004).

Plot

While Harry Potter spends the summer with the Dursleys, Dobby, a house-elf, warns Harry of an "impending danger" at Hogwarts. He attempts to prevent him returning to Hogwarts by sabotaging an important dinner with Vernon Dursley's boss. Vernon tries to prevent his departure in retaliation, but his friend Ron Weasley and his brothers Fred and George rescue him in their father's flying car. Harry meets up with Hermione Granger in Diagon Alley, where they meet Hogwarts' new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Gilderoy Lockhart, along with Draco Malfoy and his father, Lucius, who Harry sees slip a book into Ginny Weasley's cauldron.

After being blocked from entering Platform Nine and Three-Quarters at King's Cross railway station, Harry and Ron fly the car to Hogwarts, where they crash into the Whomping Willow. Ron's wand is broken, and they each receive detention, during which Harry hears a strange voice and subsequently finds caretaker Argus Filch's cat, Mrs Norris, petrified with a message written in blood: "The Chamber of Secrets has been opened, enemies of the heir... beware." One of Hogwarts' founders, Salazar Slytherin, supposedly constructed a secret Chamber containing a monster that only his heir can control, capable of purging the school of Muggle-borns. Suspecting Malfoy to be the heir, Harry, Ron, and Hermione plan to question him.

Harry's arm is broken by a rogue Bludger in a Quidditch match; while recovering, Dobby visits him and reveals he closed the barrier and made the rogue Bludger to force him to leave the school, in addition to the Chamber having been opened in the past. After students are found petrified, Harry is suspected of being the heir of Slytherin after communicating with a snake - an ability shared with Slytherin. Disguised as Crabbe and Goyle, using polyjuice potion, which they brew in a bathroom haunted by the ghost of Moaning Myrtle, Harry and Ron learn Malfoy is not the heir, but that a Muggle-born girl died when the Chamber was last opened 50 years ago. Harry finds an enchanted diary owned by a former student Tom Marvolo Riddle, who blames a young Rubeus Hagrid for opening the Chamber, leading to his expulsion.

When Hermione is petrified, Harry and Ron question Hagrid, who is sent to Azkaban by Minister of Magic Cornelius Fudge, while Lucius forces the school governors to remove Dumbledore from office. Hagrid discreetly tells the boys to "follow the spiders"; they venture into the Forbidden Forest and meet Hagrid's spider, Aragog, who reveals Hagrid's innocence and provides another clue to the Chamber's monster. A book page in Hermione's hand identifies the monster as a basilisk, a giant serpent that kills people who make direct eye contact; the petrified victims only saw it indirectly.

Ginny is taken into the Chamber, and the teachers nominate Lockhart to save her; Harry and Ron find Lockhart preparing to flee and expose him as a fraud. Deducing that Myrtle was the Muggle-born girl that the basilisk killed, they find the Chamber's entrance in the bathroom she haunts. Once inside, Lockhart tries to erase Harry and Ron's memories and take the credit, but his spell backfires when he uses Ron's broken wand, erasing his memory and causing a cave-in, separating Harry from Ron and Lockhart.

Harry enters the Chamber alone and finds Ginny unconscious and Riddle - Slytherin's heir and Voldemort's younger self - who reveals he used the diary to manipulate Ginny into reopening the Chamber. Harry expresses his loyalty to Dumbledore, whose pet phoenix Fawkes arrives with the Sorting Hat. Riddle summons the basilisk, who Fawkes blinds, and the Sorting Hat produces the Sword of Gryffindor, which Harry uses to kill the basilisk after a battle, but is poisoned by one of its fangs. Despite being injured, Harry stabs the diary with the basilisk fang, destroying Riddle and reviving Ginny. Harry is healed by Fawkes' tears and returns to Hogwarts with his friends and a baffled Lockhart. Harry learns that Dobby's master is Lucius, whom he accuses of planting the diary in Ginny's cauldron, and tricks him into freeing Dobby. Dumbledore is reinstated as headmaster, the basilisk's victims are healed, Hermione reunites with her friends, and Hagrid is released from Azkaban.

Production

Costume and set design

The flying Ford Anglia used in the film.

Production designer Stuart Craig returned for the sequel to design new elements previously not seen in the first film. He designed the Burrow based on Arthur Weasley's interest in Muggles, built vertically out of architectural salvage.<ref name="Burrow" /> Mr. Weasley's flying car was created from a 1962 Ford Anglia 105E.<ref name="FordAngliaBBC" /> The Chamber of Secrets, measuring over Template:Convert long and Template:Convert wide, was the biggest set created for the saga.<ref name="ChamberSetVogue" /> Dumbledore's office, which houses the Sorting Hat and the Sword of Gryffindor, was also built for the film.<ref name="DumbledoresOffice" />

Lindy Hemming was the costume designer for Chamber of Secrets.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> She retained many of the characters' already established appearances, and chose to focus on the new characters introduced in the sequel. Gilderoy Lockhart's wardrobe incorporated bright colours, in contrast with the "dark, muted or sombre colours" of the other characters. Branagh said, "We wanted to create a hybrid between a period dandy and someone who looked as if they could fit into Hogwarts."<ref name="CinematographyCR" /> Hemming also perfected Lucius Malfoy's costume. One of the original concepts was for him to wear a pinstripe suit, but was changed to furs and a snake head cane in order to remark his aristocrat quality and to reflect a "sense of the old."<ref name="CinematographyCR" />

Filming

Principal photography began on 19 November 2001, only three days after the wide release of the first film.<ref name="FilmingArizonaDailySun" /> Second-unit work had started three weeks before, primarily for the flying car scene.<ref name="FilmingNYTimes" /> Filming took place mainly at Leavesden Film Studios in Hertfordshire,<ref name="LeavesdenTime" /><ref name="LeavesdenGuardian" /> as well as on the Isle of Man.<ref name="IsleofMan" /> King's Cross railway station was used as the filming location for Platform 9¾, though St Pancras railway station was used for the exterior shots.<ref name="StPancrasKingsCross" /><ref name="StPancrasKingsCross2" /> Gloucester Cathedral was used as the setting for Hogwarts School,<ref name="GloucesterCathedral" /> along with Durham Cathedral,<ref name="DurhamCathedral" /> Alnwick Castle,<ref name="AlnwickCastle" /> Lacock Abbey,<ref name="LacockAbbey" /> and the Bodleian Library at the University of Oxford.<ref name="BodleianLibrary" /> The Burrow was built in Gypsy Lane, Abbots Langley, in front of Leavesden Studios.<ref name="BurrowBuzzFeed" />

Roger Pratt was brought on as director of photography for Chamber of Secrets, in order to give the film "a darker and edgier feel" than its predecessor, which reflected "the growth of the characters and the story."<ref name="CinematographyCR" /> Director Chris Columbus opted to use handheld cameras to allow more freedom in movement,<ref name="ColumbusVindicator" /> which he considered "a departure for [him] as a filmmaker."<ref name="CinematographyCR" /> University of Cambridge linguistics professor Francis Nolan created Parseltongue, the language spoken by snakes in the film.<ref name="NolanParseltongue" /> Principal photography wrapped in July 2002.<ref name="WrapYahoo" /><ref name="WrapCronica" />

Sound design

Due to the events that take place in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the film's sound effects were much more expansive than in the previous instalment. Sound designer and supervising sound editor Randy Thom returned for the sequel using Pro Tools to complete the job, which included initial conceptions done at Skywalker Sound in California and primary work done at Shepperton Studios in England.<ref name="ThomMIX" />

Thom wanted to give the Whomping Willow a voice, a deep growl for which he used his own voice slowed down, equalised and bass-boosted. For the mandrakes, he combined baby cries with female screams, in order to "make it just exotic enough so that you think, 'Hmm, I've never heard anything quite like that before.'"<ref name="ThomMIX" />

Thom described the basilisk as a challenge, "because it's a giant snake, but it's also like a dragon — not many snakes have teeth like that. He had to hiss, he had to roar and there were times at the end when he was in pain." He mixed his own voice, tiger roars, and horse and elephant vocalizations.<ref name="ThomMIX" />

Special and visual effects

Template:Multiple image

Visual effects took nine months to make,<ref name="ColumbusVindicator" /> until 9 October 2002, when the film was finished.<ref name="FinishBBC" /> Industrial Light & Magic, Mill Film, the Moving Picture Company (MPC), Cinesite and Framestore CFC handled the approximately 950 visual effect shots in the film.<ref name="VisualEffectsCR" /><ref name="Cinefex" /> Jim Mitchell and Nick Davis served as visual effects supervisors. They were in charge of creating the CGI characters Dobby the House-elf, the Basilisk and the Cornish pixies, among others.<ref name="VisualEffectsCR" /> Chas Jarrett from MPC served as CGI supervisor, overseeing the approach of any shot that contains CGI in the film.<ref name="3DFestivalp1" /> With a crew of 70 people, the company produced 251 shots, 244 of which made it to the film, from September 2001 to October 2002.<ref name="3DFestivalp2" />

The visual effects team worked alongside creature effects supervisor Nick Dudman, who devised Fawkes the Phoenix, the Mandrakes, Aragog the Acromantula, and the first Template:Convert of the Basilisk.<ref name="VisualEffectsCR" /><ref name="BasiliskSFX" /> According to Dudman, Aragog was the most challenging character to create. The giant spider stood Template:Convert tall with an Template:Convert foot leg span, each of which had to be controlled by a different team member. The whole creature weighed three quarters of a ton.<ref name="VisualEffectsCR" /> It took over 15 people to operate the animatronic Aragog on set.<ref name="LondonTourCreatures" />

The Whomping Willow sequence required a combination of practical and visual effects. Special effects supervisor John Richardson and his team created mechanically operated branches to hit the flying car.<ref name="LondonTourSFX" /> A 1:3 scale set was built on stage at Shepperton Studios, which featured the fully-sized top third of the tree with a forced perspective to appear a height of over Template:Convert high. The courtyard and the tree were built in 3D. Some shots ended up being entirely digital.<ref name="3DFestivalp2" /><ref name="3DFestivalp3" /> Jarret identified the rendering as "the biggest challenge" of the scene, because "there was just so much going on in [it] ... It was simply massive."<ref name="3DFestivalp3" />

Music

{{#invoke:Labelled list hatnote|labelledList|Main article|Main articles|Main page|Main pages}}

John Williams, who composed the previous film's score, returned to score Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Composing the film proved to be a difficult task, as Williams had just completed scoring Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones and Minority Report when work was scheduled to begin on Catch Me If You Can. Because of this, William Ross was brought in to arrange themes from the Philosopher's Stone into the new material that Williams was composing whenever he had the chance. Ross also conducted the scoring sessions with the London Symphony Orchestra.<ref name="Filmtracks" /> The soundtrack album was released on 12 November 2002.<ref name="SoundtrackNet" />

Critical response

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film has an approval rating of Template:RT data based on Template:RT data reviews, with an average rating of Template:RT data. The site's critical consensus reads, "Though perhaps more enchanting for younger audiences, Chamber of Secrets is nevertheless both darker and livelier than its predecessor, expanding and improving upon the first film's universe."<ref name="RottenTomatoes" /> On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 63 out of 100, based on 35 critics, indicating "generally favorable" reviews.<ref name="Metacritic" /> Audiences polled by CinemaScore gave the film a rare "A+", the only film in the Harry Potter series to receive such grade.<ref name="OpeningWknd" /><ref name="CinemaScore" />

Roger Ebert gave The Chamber of Secrets 4 out of 4 stars, especially praising the set design.<ref name="EbertReview" /> Entertainment Weekly commended the film for being better and darker than its predecessor: "And among the things this Harry Potter does very well indeed is deepen the darker, more frightening atmosphere for audiences. This is as it should be: Harry's story is supposed to get darker".<ref name="EWReview" /> Richard Roeper praised Columbus' direction and the film's faithfulness to the book, saying: "Chris Columbus, the director, does a real wonderful job of being faithful to the story but also taking it into a cinematic era".<ref name="RoeperReview" /> Variety said the film was excessively long, but praised it for being darker and more dramatic, saying that its confidence and intermittent flair to give it a life of its own apart from the books was something The Philosopher's Stone never achieved.<ref name="VarietyReview" /> The Guardian praised the darker storyline, but said that the acting could have been better.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

A. O. Scott from The New York Times said: "instead of feeling stirred you may feel battered and worn down, but not, in the end, too terribly disappointed".<ref name="NYTimesReview" /> Peter Travers from Rolling Stone condemned the film for being over-long and too faithful to the book: "Once again, director Chris Columbus takes a hat-in-hand approach to Rowling that stifles creativity and allows the film to drag on for nearly three hours".<ref name="TraversReview" /> Kenneth Turan from the Los Angeles Times called the film a cliché which is "deja vu all over again, it's likely that whatever you thought of the first production – pro or con – you'll likely think of this one".<ref name="LATimesReview" />
