Man, costume department, how is it possible to mess up that gorgeous face? *sadly shakes head* When Snape slams down the Muggle newspaper reporting a mysterious, flying car in the sky, berating Harry and Ron – he’s a bit puffier than normal, and his wig is awfully centered. This is not Alan Rickman at his most flattering. The set director and artist must have had a blast with creating Lockhart’s portraits I’m just sad we never got to see the one of Lockhart in hair curlers.Ħ. His flowing robes, his luscious hair, his ever-present, toothy smile, his blustering persona, his wide-eyed confusion after Ron’s wand backfires – man, the casting director was spot on with this one. Kenneth Branagh is magnificent as the horribly cheesy, incompetent Professor Lockhart. Their apprehensive faces give me so much life, especially when the camera pans over to the actual boys, whose faces fall into those exact same expressions once Molly swoops into the kitchen, demanding to know where they’ve been.ĥ. Those little tablespoons, stamped with pictures of the Weasley boys’ faces, matter-of-factly tracking from “LOST” to “HOME” make me giggle with happiness. And it’s as exactly as I imagined it when I first read the books. Of all the elements that distinguish the Weasleys’ magical house from the Dursleys’, the living room clock is my absolute favorite. Molly Weasley’s living room clock is boss. Ron, Fred, and George’s flaming red hair and ridiculous knit sweaters literally breathe life into Harry’s dreary, gray existence, and I can’t help but tear up when Harry finally tumbles into the Ford Anglia.Ĥ. are in CoS: They are downright gleeful after realizing Harry has no magical sway over them, and Vernon’s sneer as he’s barricading his nephew into his miserable room makes my blood boil. However, I never realized just how awful Vernon and co. Throughout the entire series, JKR consistently emphasizes the importance of familial love, trumpeting it over financial success and wealth, and she’s conveniently able to pit the Dursley duds against the welcoming Weasleys. In direct contrast to the warm and nurturing Weasleys, the Dursleys are extra despicable. (Don’t even get me started on the movies’ horrible treatment of Kreacher.) While Dobby is supposed to be annoying and frustratingly unhelpful, the movies don’t do much except ramp up his annoying qualities until he’s a squeaky, one-dimensional, Claymation-like figure who exists only to keep moving the plot forward.

Unpopular opinion: I can’t stand the movie versions of house-elves. Every time I watch CoS, I know that’ll happen, but I always forget when, and then I spend a good five minutes cooing and aww-ing over how adorable they sound, only to have to rewind back so that I don’t miss how fantastic the entire Weasley clan is. Boy, do the boys’ voices start cracking like crazy from the moment Ron breaks Harry out of the hellhole that is the Dursleys’. They were close to 13 by the time they got to the filming of Chamber of Secrets. (Before we get started, here’s a handy link to the first entry in our movie re-watch series, in which Creative Team staff member Aaron Schwartz took you down that particular rabbit hole.)ĭaniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint hovered around 11 years of age when they filmed Sorcerer’s Stone.

Welcome to Week 2 of MuggleNet’s Harry Potter movies series re-watch! We will be diving into Chamber of Secrets – which, complete disclaimer, I actually liked least out of all eight movies, until this time around – and y’all have a front seat to the rambling thoughts I had while re-watching the second movie.
