Okay, let's be real for a second. We all love Harry Potter. But which movie do we really secretly binge-watch when no one is looking?
Is Chamber of Secrets Underrated?
I'm going to say it. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is criminally underrated. Yes, I said it!
Everyone goes on about Prisoner of Azkaban being the best. Or maybe they’re die-hard Goblet of Fire fans. But hear me out.
Why It's Secretly the Best
First off, Gilderoy Lockhart. Need I say more? The man is a comedic goldmine. Kenneth Branagh absolutely nailed it.
His utter incompetence and vanity? Perfection! Every scene he's in is pure, unadulterated joy.
And who can forget his "autobiographies"? A true artist, truly!
Then there's Dobby. Sure, he's a bit annoying at first. But his heart is in the right place.
Plus, he's instrumental in saving Harry’s life. And who doesn't love a good, loyal house-elf?
Let's not forget the sheer creepiness factor. A giant snake petrifying students? Terrifying!
The suspense is real. The atmosphere is dark and unsettling. Perfect for a cozy night in.
The scene where Harry and Ron follow the spiders into the Forbidden Forest still gives me chills. Aragog, the giant spider, is terrifying.
And did I mention the flying car? Because the flying car is awesome.
Plot Holes? We Don't See Them!
Okay, fine, maybe there are a few plot holes. But who cares? We're here for the magic, right?
Maybe why Dumbledore didn't do more to stop the petrification is questionable. But let's not dwell on it.
Plus, teenage Tom Riddle is seriously chilling. His calm, calculated demeanor is so unsettling.
Final Verdict: Secret Binge-Worthy
