972/5000
After the first hour my vote already drops to 5.4
Flaws:
1) How did Ron know about the bars in Harry's bedroom window? He immediately proceeded to pull out a kind of hook to detach the bars. I know you'll say "It's magic, what do you expect?" Yes, but for the sake of the film, he could have said something like "Hey Harry, we've been watching you without getting caught in these months ..."
2) And it was not explained how Harry had the suitcase ready at that exact moment. "Magic, dude", all right but Logically, he would have already prepared it because he was trembling at the idea of returning to Hogwarts, but I'm still not sure, he doesn't even mention it ...
3) Harry Potter ends up in Diagonally and what do the Weasleys do? they leave him defenseless, without protecting him.
But luckily he meets Hagrid, and this saved him from the dangerous people around Diagonally. Very very dangerous.
4) Ron and Harry have to take the train, and they are late. Since the wall is impenetrable, they lose the train. The demented Ron is convinced that his parents will never return, so what does he do? The right thing to do is to use the car and fly with Harry to Hogwarts. Are you serious? But also Harry, why does he let Ron do that, when both are only 12 years old? his head doesn't seem to work sometimes. I'd forgive this huge mistake of using the flying car if they were influenced by Dobby, but the elf never mentioned it. Can you ever imagine the reaction of Ron's parents? When they say goodbye to the children and see the train disappear, and go back to the station parking lot and then notice that they are left without a car?
5) As soon as they arrive to Hogwarts, the car starts to mumble and ends up on a giant tree, this tree is deadly and furious and would have killed them and destroyed the car in a flash. Ron and Harry survive, the car is in pitiful condition now. The car at a certain point, after the impact, drives off into the forest, without a driver. Wait a second, why couldn't the magic car get away from the tree first and save two children from certain death? Or maybe it was Dobby the driver? I don't know, I'm confused ...
6) The Herbology professor who tells the children after Neville Longbottom's fainting something like "Just leave him there". Seriously? It's funny though.
7) I would have liked to see the sorting of Ginny since she is an important character in the film.
8) But what happened to the first lesson of Gilderoy? As a coward, this teacher runs away leaving the children in danger. Not a big deal, in fact Hermione saves everyone with a spell. What a child prodigy, really. But everything that happened in that class is still serious. Neville was hung several meters high. We don't know what happened next, like how the other teachers reacted? Would Lockart hide everything from the other teachers? I have no idea...
9) The school is incredibly big. But somehow, the whole school meets the trio right in front of the crime scene "The chamber of secrets has been opened. Enemies of the heir, beware"I don't really buy that.
10) Why didn't the more experienced wizards stop the crazy ball during the Quidditch game? Hermione hinted that it would be dangerous to do so, to stop the ball, for the risk of accidentally hitting Harry. The most powerful sorcerers in the audience would have had no problem stopping a crazy ball. But finally, Hermione destroys the ball. Again, what a child prodigy.
Best parts:
Music always so nostalgic
Dobby's scene is a classic, the cake and the flying car and the fall of his uncle.
The journey to Hogwarts with the flying car visible to all muggles.
The lesson of mandrakes.
The scene of the blood on the wall and the petrified cat. Unforgettable.
The scene where Hermione is bullied by Malfoy and Hagrid's words of comfort for Hermione.
The quidditch game in which Harry is hit by the crazy ball but still manages to win the game. Quidditch is always cool to watch. And the scene in which Draco complains about a pain in the hospital, and Harry who spits the potion thinking he is drinking pumpkin juice, very funny.
After the second hour my vote went down to 4.0
Flaws:
11) I would have liked to see more of the "underwater" house, the Slytherin house, a little consideration for them would have been highly appreciated.
12) Hermione turned into a cat. I would have liked someone else's reaction besides Harry and Ron, like Madame Pomfrey or Minerva.
13) In one scene, the bathroom of "Moaning Myrtle" floods and Harry and Ron go to see what happened. All right, but in the end what happened to the flooded bathroom? How had Argus reacted? I would have loved to see his reaction. With the mop, cursing death curses.
14) In a key scene in the film, Hagrid warns Harry and Ron to go to the forest, they must find the answers from the giant spider Aragog. The famous "Forbidden Forest", of which Harry encountered something very dangerous the previous year: voldemort who was sucking the pure blood of a dead unicorn. He certainly would not have gone to the forest without his precious invisibility cloak. But for some mysterious reason, Harry forgets his cloak at Hagrid's house and walks through the dark forest, chasing spiders in the middle of the night, with Ron. With their cloak, they would have been immediately saved from certain death by hungry spiders. But guess what, the movie likes it difficult.
The best parts:
The Polyjuice potion scene.
The Slytherin house
The victims of the basilisk
Tom riddle's diary scene
Final part of the film: vote dropped to 3.2
Flaws:
15) The Chamber of Secrets scene was perhaps the most important scene in the whole movie. In my opinion they had to add more drama and epicness to this part.
16) The basilisk, terrifying. But the film doesn't do it enough justice. He shows up for five minutes and dies.
17) The CGI ... but you have to appreciate the effort.
The best parts of the film:
The music
The Chamber of Secrets
Fawkes, the phoenix
"It's not the abilities that define us but our choices," says Dumbledore. Well said.
The ending, perhaps the most beautiful ending of the entire saga.
