It was the first Gamecube game I finished and enjoyed it a great deal. An interactive map of the most iconic Harry Potter film locations across the. If interested, I have another review of Starfox Adventures. If you're a Harry Potter fan or have a child that is a fan, then the chance to play as Harry Potter will make it 'funable' and make this game a good purchase. It caters more to the younger audience, although this middle-aged guy still enjoyed it. It's not for the 'gamer' that wants to have his ego satisfied by beating a 'hard or long' game. I say this not as a 'spoiler' but mostly as a way of enjoying the game where you don't get frustrated and quit, especially for the younger people that might get upset seeing their hard work of collecting Beans all gone to waste.) I give this game a 9 and not a 10 because it is easier and shorter than some would like it. There are floors in Hogwart's where you can collect 10-15 Beans each time you enter, so a few minutes there will give you a plentiful amount in a short time before saving the game or buying something with the 'Beans'. For the most part, accept it and just fight the 'bad guys'. As you try to pick up the Beans, you're attacted again which leads to even more Beans being lost.
Another thing, you're constantly losing the 'Bertie Bott's Every Flavor Beans' you've been collecting when someone attacks you. (A few minor annoying things would be: To talk with someone or to open a chest, the controls make it where you have to stand perfectly in front of them. You get to explore Diagon Alley and Hogwart's, etc. The parts that don't follow the book actually add to the game, because these side quests add a different avenue of exploration not given while reading the book. The game has great graphics and for the most part follows the book. There are 'save' areas in appropriate places, quick and easy. Each level basically sends you on a quest that will lead you to learn a new skill of magic which in turn will have to be used to complete the level.

Of course, I would have liked to see a bit more scenes from the book added, but I understand time restrictions.I like Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for the Gamecube. All in all, I give this a 5 out of 5.fantastically done. Children will love this for the wizardry and magic, the struggle between Harry and his foes, the friendships that abound, and the simple fun of it all while adults will love it for bringing them back to a time when magic was, indeed, real. But for the rest of us, Chamber of Secrets accurately depicts what until now, only our imaginations could see. It is not for the die-hard action fan, the horror-only fans, or those that dislike a bit of magic, imagination, and fantasy.
HARRY POTTER AND CHAMBER OF SECRETS MOVIE
The movie undoubtedly draws you in and makes you forget that this isn't real.quite an acheivement! Of course, not all moviegoers will enjoy this one. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson do superb jobs of playing Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
The set design for Diagon Alley and the Weasley house was fabulous! How wonderful to see these places come to life outside of our imaginations! This stays true for nearly every aspect of om the greenhouse, to the moving staircases, the dorms and Dumbledore's office. However, with both Harry Potter movies, the visuals were spectacular, the acting well done, and the characters almost perfectly matched. As an avid reader, I am quite hesitant to see my beloved books displayed on screen only to have the directors do them no justice. Sure, some things were left out undoubtedly due to time constraints, but overall, it conveyed the story well. However, when I saw the first Harry Potter, I was terrified it was going to be "butchered" like most "books to movies" are but was pleasantly surprised by the relatively "stick to the book" script it displayed. The subterranean Chamber of Secrets was created by Salazar Slytherin without the knowledge of his three fellow founders of Hogwarts. I chose to read it to them so we could ALL enjoy it.and we did! Naturally, the kids were excited when the movie came out.
Having three daughters I have a choice when a great book comes out: buy three of them (EXPENSIVE!!), force someone to wait until the other is done before they can read the book (sure, I enjoy breaking up fights!), or read it to them.
