Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a 2002 fantasy-adventure film directed by Chris Columbus and based on the novel by J. K. Rowling. The film is the second entry in the popular Harry Potter film series and was released on 15 November 2002 in the UK and North America. Steven Kloves returned to write the screenplay along with David Heyman who produced the film.
Most of the major cast and crew from Philosopher's Stone (known as Sorcerer's Stone in the United States) returned for Chamber of Secrets, including child stars Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. However, it was the last appearance by Richard Harris as Dumbledore and the last Harry Potter film directed by Columbus. New key actors included Kenneth Branagh as Gilderoy Lockhart and Jason Isaacs as Lucius Malfoy.
The film was very well received at the box office, making $879 million USD worldwide. It was nominated for three BAFTA Film Awards in 2003.
