My fave things from The Chamber of Secrets that they left out from the movies 🐍🏰📚🪄
1. Harry spent a month with the Weasleys at their home, The Burrow, before the new school year started. A ghoul lived in their attic above Ron’s bedroom. 👻
2. Mr. Weasley literally fought Draco Malfoy’s dad in the bookstore at Diagon Alley for making fun of Hermione’s parents. 👊🏻
3. Peeves, the school poltergeist, always causing insane mischief (I forgot to mention him in the first post)! 🏰
4. Nearly Headless Nick’s Deathday Party on Halloween with the other ghosts and ghouls of the school that Harry, Ron, and Hermione went to. 🎃
5. It was Professor Binns, the only ghost teacher, who educated the students on the Chamber of Secrets (not McGonagall like in the movies). 🐍
6. When Lockhart organized a Valentine’s Day to lift school spirits, complete with little dwarves that were hired to deliver & sing Valentine’s songs. Harry was sent a Valentine’s song, and his delivery dwarf tackled him lol. 💌🧌
7. The Battle in the Chamber of Secrets with Harry & Fawkes the Phoenix vs. Tom Riddle & his Basilisk was just so much more satisfying/fast paced than the movie’s portrayal! ⚔️🐍📔
