Fun with Franchises: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002), Part IV — “Ten Years Under the Stairs Will Do That to a Person”

What better way to start Fun with Franchises than with the king of all franchises (that we haven’t done yet)? This is the highest grossing franchise of all time, and is without a doubt the main one I grew up with, so it made sense to start with it. Harry Potter is by far the one franchise that every single one of my friends and I could make jokes and references to and have everyone get those jokes and references. Plus it’s just great.

I had so much fun with the Disney films and later the Bond films, I thought, “Let’s just try this with everything else.” Essentially this is us just watching these movies that we can talk endlessly about because we grew up with them and just cracking jokes and asking all these logical questions. It’s all for fun and basically for parody. We do this because we love them.

And that’s Fun with Franchises. Right now, we’re doing the Harry Potter franchise, and today is the fourth and final part of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Fun with Franchises: Final Thoughts on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

All right… the final article on our first film. This feels… actually not as exciting as you’d think. Since we have seven more films already banked up and are working on another (undisclosed, because that would give away what franchise is coming next) amount. But still, it’s momentous. So that’s something.

I’m drunk. Just go with it.

So we went through the entire film and did our thing with it. And it was great. And then we picked out our favorite images from the film. So now all that’s left is us summing up our thoughts about the film as a whole.

So without wasting time (something I am very good at doing), here are our final thoughts on Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: Read the rest of this page »
