Storyline
Forced to spend his summer holidays with his muggle relations, Harry Potter gets a real shock when he gets a surprise visitor: Dobby the house-elf, who warns Harry Potter against returning to Hogwarts, for terrible things are going to happen. Harry decides to ignore Dobby's warning and continues with his pre-arranged schedule. But at Hogwarts, strange and terrible things are indeed happening: Harry is suddenly hearing mysterious voices from inside the walls, muggle-born students are being attacked, and a message scrawled on the wall in blood puts everyone on his/her guard - "The Chamber Of Secrets Has Been Opened. Enemies Of The Heir, Beware" . Written by Soumitra

Trivia
The film earned over $88 million in the US on its opening weekend, which at the time placed it third in the all-time biggest opening behind Spider-Man and Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. See more »Goofs
Incorrectly regarded as goofs: For most of the movie, it is shown that Moaning Myrtle is not solid, and that solid objects pass through her. However, when she jumps into the toilet, the water splashes. A splash can only be made by a solid object having sudden impact with water (this was also in the book). However, traditional ghost lore has ghosts able to move physical objects when they (the ghosts) are in an aggravated state of emotion, so we can assume the book/film follows that notion.
