The Heir opens the Chamber of Secrets that is hidden in Hogwarts and unleashes the monster inside, which petrifies some of the “Mudbloods”. Harry Potter finds the Chamber of Secrets and faces a basilisk; a creature known for its killing gaze. Harry Potter, in his latest adventure, saves the Muggle-born witches and wizards in Hogwarts from a powerful adversary.

A good example of these special effects is when Harry’s glasses become cracked when he exits the chimney at the beginning of the movie. He manages to get back to Diagon Alley where he is greeted by Hermione. As ever, she knows the right spell to repair Harry’s glasses. “Oculus Reparo ”, she says, and there is a faint flash whereupon you can see the cracks in Harry’s glasses being repaired. The next thing you know, his glasses are looking as if they hadn’t been broken seconds before. Another example of special effects is when Snape casts his spell upon Gilderoy in the dueling class, and he’s sent twirling in the air with a spectacular flash! Lastly, the special effects in the scene where Harry destroys Tom Riddle’s diary with the basilisk fang are superb. The memory seeming as if he’s becoming more fragmented the more Harry stabbed the diary with the fang. Eventually, the memory of Tom Riddle disappears with a bright explosion of light. The special effects of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets are remarkable and add to the immersion of the

    K. Rowling. We are presented to Harry’s ordinary world, and he receives the letter to Hogwarts. In this movie, Harry refuses to believe that he is a wizard and the mentor, Hagrid, is responsible for proving this to him and for leading Harry through stage 5. Once in the school, the stages 6 and 7 flows naturally. The stage 8 is when Harry finally faces Lord Voldemort, the man who killed his parents and Harry, therefore, his biggest fear. After had defeated the enemy, at least for now, Harry recovers and with a picture of his parents (the reward) in his possessions, he goes back to the initial point, but not the same as he was.

    For example, in the popular movie by Tim Burton,”Big Fish”, it contained two scenes with a dramatic difference. That difference was the lighting. The first scene that was played showed the spectrum with beautiful grass and polished buildings, the mood was obviously exciting and cheery. The lightning showed me that since the scene was very bright. However, the second scene which showed Edward walking back to the spectrum and him being surprised for the reason that the grass was dead and the once architecturally detailed buildings were now at their ends. The lighting (dark) had an extra effect of making the scene sorrowful. In another case, Edward Bloom’s room was very dark and encouraged how Edward could be many seconds away from dieing. Lastly, the movie, “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory”, when all the kids and parents continued walking in the factory, following Willie, I noticed the lighting slowly get brighter while they walked into the room with the chocolate river, which made me feel less stressed since the kids were about to have great entertainment in that…

    From the warm yellow light for a Christmas party on Christmas Eve, to the hue light with snow falling, the lighting and special effect played an important role in completing the world suggested by the ballet. And I must say that the part where lighting and special effects did it best job was the performance of the Prince, Clara and many other dancers when they get to the Land of Sweets, when the snow is falling, creating a wonderful and magical images. This was the only time that they used special effects with a white theme - white dresses, white snow, white and hue lights. What a nice ending to Act I!…

    The storyline in the book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, by J. K. Rowling is consistent with its namesake movie; yet the movie loses a bit of magic that comes with reading this masterpiece. Understandably, changes were necessary to morph this lengthy book into a film of reasonable length. The movie was thoughtfully created and directed to maintain the integrity of the original story. Slight alterations within the movie from scene to scene or character to character were added and details were deleted to shorten the film to a reasonable length. Still, the theme of good always prevailing over evil and procuring the ending is found in both pieces. Although many small changes were made, I will…
