A. WELCOME BACK, POTTER

The young wizard is back in town, all the ghouls and goblins wear a big frown, headed back to Hogwarts to kick up some dirt, but he’s got to get a new shirt, his old digs no longer fit, ‘cause he’s grown up just a bit.

He’s Harry Potter, our no longer little Harry Potter!

“Welcome Back, Potter” was filmed before a live studio audience.

The Chamber of Secrets has been opened and we’ve collected some of the escaped movie secrets just for you! Enjoy them if you dare!

B. ENROLL AND BE SORTED

What has become of our Harry since he completed his first year at the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry? Seems some things never changed, returning home once again Harry is submitted to same shabby treatment he always got from his so-called family. He’s been literally locked in his room half the summer after a mischievous house elf, named Dobby, caused a major stir at the Dursley household. Dobby warns Harry not to go back to Hogwarts, but Harry has to get out of that house!

C. PRESTO!

But Harry has friends. The real good kind. His old pal Weasley comes to Harry’s rescue in order to bring him back to his house for the remainder of the summer. Cool part is, he does it in a Ford Anglia car that can really FLY! As with many rescue attempts, not all goes as planned. The car ends up being more trouble than they hoped for…

D. PLATFORM 9 3/4

Using the Ford Anglia to get to the Hogwarts train so they can go back to school, they end up missing it at Platform 9 3/4. Not truly knowing the way to Hogwarts, they have to make a dashing race to chase down and follow the train over the vast mysterious land to the magical place. The result is…

E. WHOMPING WILLOWS!

They crash smack into the legendary Whomping Willow tree, badly damaging the poor thing. Things take a turn for the mysterious and the blood starts curdling when Harry starts hearing cruel malevolent whispering seeping from the walls of Hogwarts. Worse yet, the whispering seems to be one-by-one turning the “Mudbloods”, people from Muggle families, into petrified stone!

F. VENTURE OFF SCHOOL GROUNDS

Things get more complicated by his very egotistical DADA (Defense Against the Dark Arts) teacher, Gilderoy Lockart (played by Kenneth Branagh). Lockart wreaks much havoc on Harry’s life. When Harry breaks his arm, Lockart attempts to mend it and accidentally removes all the bones in Harry’s arm! Luckily for Harry, Madam Pomfrey has just the cure for the missing bones.

G. THE DAILY PROPHET

Harry becomes a suspect of the evil doings when they discover he’s a Parsel-tongue, a person who is able to speak and understand snakes, after he has an unsightly run-in with a talking cobra.

This occurrence makes Harry even more famous, because only a true descendant of Salazar Slytherin is able to open the dreaded Chamber of Secrets, being a Parsel-tongue was the famous trait of Salazar Slytherin. With these strange circumstances Harry finds himself in deep trouble.

H. BERTIE BOTTS EVERY FLAVOR BEAN

Plagued by Draco Malfoy’s hatred and Professor Snape’s dislike, Harry with his trusty sidekicks – Ron Weasly and Hermione Granger, set out to find the true culprit behind the dreaded petrifactions. But who is doing the dastardly deeds? Could it be Draco Malfoy getting even with Harry or Groundskeeper Hagrid or is Lord Voldemort making his villainous return? Or could it be Harry himself?

I. CHAMBER OF SECRETS

This is the last go round as director for Christopher Columbus. On the upcoming third film, HARRY POTTER and the PRISONER OF AZKABAN, he will hand over the reins to the critically acclaimed Mexican film director, Alfonso Cuaron. In the past he has directed the children’s story, A Little Princess and the 1998 big screen version of Great Expectations. He gained his widest praise for his most recent hit, Y Tu Mama Tambien. All the current Harry Potter cast members have taken a liking to him and the next film looks to be as a big a hit as ever!

The word around Hogwarts is that J. K. Rowling is putting the finishing touches the latest installment in Harry’s adventures, titled – HARRY POTTER and the ORDER OF THE PHOENIX, this adventure will see the return of Mundungus Fletcher!
