It's hard to believe that the second installment of the Harry Potter series happened WAAAY back in 2002!
In this movie, Harry is visited by Dobby the House Elf who actually becomes far more trouble than benefit as he begins Harry's second year at Hogwarts with a bang - or, more literally, a crash of a giant dessert on Uncle's Vernon's boss's wife. Soon after, as Ron and Harry attempt to board the Hogwarts Express, they find that somehow the portal has been closed to them. Instead, they take a little ride in Ron's dad's flying car and end up crashing into the Walloping Willow by the time they make it to school.
Also in this movie, there are spiders and blood and snakes and changing into things after drinking potions and re-growing bones. This is also the movie that has Gilderoy Lockhart - one of those sickly selfish vomit inducing self-assured jerks that really make you roll your eyes. Lockhart thinks a LOT better of himself and his powers than are actually the case. Thanks to his inabilities to follow through with his braggadocio, he manages to get Harry, Ron AND Hermione in quite a mess. Of course we know Harry will always manage to find his way out. And in THIS case, he manages to do that AND save the girl that will become quite important to him some day later in life.
