My Thoughts On Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets

Because the weather wasn't nice or because we couldn't agree on anything else to do, a few days ago my kids and I watched the second of the Harry Potter movies, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

(Just to be crazy, I decided to watch all the Harry Potter movies in order.)

(I'm nuts that way.)

The Chamber of Secrets was just as delightful as the first movie - squee!

You may have guessed it, but the Chamber of Secrets follows Harry's second year at the Hogwart's school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

During the viewing of this movie, I discovered that I have a lot in common with Harry's friend Ron Weasley. Like, a lot in common. Take, for example, our shared loathing of spiders. The severe arachnophobia became apparent when the, ahem, rather large vehicular sized spiders came onscreen. Both of my children have seen this movie numerous times and both know of my loathing of spiders, yet did either one of them give me a head's up on the impeding scene starring the eight legged creatures? No.

I freely admit to pausing the movie and taking a few minutes to collect myself. And by collect myself I mean yell something akin to "Can you warn a body next time? About the bus-sized spiders? Gah!" while brushing spilled popcorn off of my lap.

Other than giant spiders, the second of the Harry Potter movies was just as wonderful as the first one. And, as an added bonus, Hermoine had much better hair in this flick.

(Home girl found some conditioner.)

To recap: Watched Harry Potter and the Chamer of Secrets and loved it. It would rank very high on the Molly Ringwald scale, you know, if I were to finish developing it. Oh, and I figured out who Filch the caretaker reminds me of: Neil Young. You see it now, don't you?

Neil Young
Filch




















As strong case could be made for Willie Nelson, too.


I would accept either Mr. Young or Mr. Wilson as a substitute for Filch if something unfortunate were to happen to the man before the end of filming all the Harry Potter movies.

I'm glad we had this conversation.
