About This Game

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the sequel to Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for PC and Mac. As its prequel, five different versions of this game were released for different gaming platforms. In this version, you control Harry in an action-adventure platforming gameplay. The most significant difference from the previous game is that gameplay is less linear, with Hogwarts becoming more of an open world. You can Interact with familiar characters from the movie like Ron, Hermione and of course Gilderoy Lockhart. Additionally, there are multiple mini-games and side quests.
