The added scenes aren't bad per se, so I'm giving both versions of the movie the same score, but given the choice between the two, I'll likely be watching the theatrical version in the future. All in all though, none of these scenes adds anything of great importance and only serves to make the film's middle section drag a bit more.

Running thirteen minutes longer than the theatrical version (final running time for the Extended version: 174 minutes!), the Extended Version adds in scenes like an earlier introduction for Lucius Malfoy (now seen with Draco at Borgin and Burkes) and more of Harry's concerns about what his status as a Parseltongue means – plus an amusing pop quiz Lockhart gives about his favorite subject: himself. One thing that Chamber of Secrets didn't need was to be longer – it's already the longest of the Potter films and definitely is bogged down at times by Kloves and Columbus' overly literal adaptation techniques. The Ultimate Edition contains both the theatrical cut of the film and a new to home video Extended Version, though it's been shown on TV before.

Overall though, it's a satisfying film for Potter fans and a nice bridge from the Chris Columbus era to the series being turned over to more imaginative hands with Prisoner of Azkaban. Columbus and screenwriter Steve Kloves are still hindered here by almost being too faithful to the source material, at the expense of making a more lively film experience – some of Chamber of Secrets drags, as the filmmakers strive to include as much as possible from the books. The final battle between Harry and the Basilisk is very cool and tense, and begins to hint at the darkness later films in the series would more fully embrace. While we're still far from the realistic tone Alfonso Cauron and David Yates would bring to subsequent sequels, Chamber of Secrets does have more atmosphere and character than The Sorcerer's Stone, and there are some effective and exciting moments, such as Harry and Ron's encounter (and subsequent race away from) a horde of giant spiders. While Columbus lacks any real artistic flair, he does a notably better job on this movie than he did on the first.

Chris Columbus returned as director for the second Potter film. Isaacs, always a go-to movie villain, is wonderful as the sneering, scheming Lucius. We also meet the nasty Lucius Malfoy ( Jason Isaacs) in Chamber of Secrets, the father of Harry's rival Draco ( Tom Felton).
