Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) - Choices vs Ability - The Desert of the Reel #102

Back to Hogwarts, and this time into the Chamber of Secrets. For the second Harry Potter film, we are welcomed back with another mystery. However, Jason argues that this is just a retread of the first film, and Ryan argues that the lore and story is expanding and deepening. What do you think?We go over pros and cons. According to Jason, some of this film's major flaws are several logical flaws (most of which surround the basilisk) and Ron's "whiny voice." But there is still a lot to love!And we explore the deeper meanings and insights we had while watching. We explore the ideas behind the concept of our choices vs our abilities, structuralism and binary opposites, and use a post-humanist lens. What are your thoughts on the second Harry Potter film?
