There are some odd jobs that can be done as well. While missions are not being done, Hogwarts castle and the grounds surrounding it can be freely explored.

Magical trick items like dungbombs and certain spells to distract these watchmen can be purchased. If the player is caught by a prefect or Filch however, some points will be lost. Like in the books, there is always a contest going on between the houses in points, which are gained by doing things well in the classes.

When it's dark, prefects will roam the halls of Hogwarts, as well as the grounds outside. The game has a day/night cycle, and some missions must be done during nighttime. In between classes, players can also take missions from pupils. The player will come across a spell that turns giant blue eggs into birds if the "Transfiguration" class is taken, while the "Incendio" spell that sets object aflame will be learned in the "Defense against the Dark Arts" class. Upon taking one of the classes, the player will be sent into a backroom of the classroom in order to retrieve a spellbook associated with that class. The player will need to take classes to advance the story. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' gameplay is somewhat similar to that of Bully ( Canis Canem Edit or Bully: Scholarship Edition), Rockstar's over-the-top highschool simulator. Here, the game actually adds the first additional gameplay sequence by expanding on the little side trip Harry makes.Īfter this sequence, the player gets taken to Hogwarts, where the game begins in earnest. The game starts out at Ron Weasley's house, where some chores must be taken care of in which the player will play some mini-games.Īfter that, the player gets sent to Diagon Alley. The game follows the plot of the book for the most part, although random missions were thought up to add length to the game, like multiple missions where Harry havs to save or help other pupils.

Specifically, the game is based on the second book and film in the series of the same name. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a game published by EA based on J.
