Professor McGonagall would not have the power to expel Ron and Harry as only Dumbledore has that authority as he is the headmaster. In the film, while Malfoy was dodging the Bludger, he tilted his broom too low, the tip of his broom hits a beam, causing him to catapult off his broom, and land on the grass, doing a full split. He was still moaning in agonising pain at the Hospital Wing when Madam Pomfrey tells him not to make such a fuss.

In the book, when Harry is in the hospital wing following the Quidditch match, Ron, Hermione and Madam Pomfrey are the only people there when he takes the Skele-Gro, the rest of the team come in later and Madam Pomfrey shouts at them to leave. In the film however, the entire team plus Ron and Hermione come with him, and Madam Pomfrey tells them to clear her way. Picture The darker mood to this second film is also reflected in the shadow-layered cinematography, making this a more challenging transfer to DVD than the first film. Ironically, the picture quality is even better for this disc set, with virtually no trace of grain in the widescreen release. Defence Against the Dark Arts shows both Hufflepuffs (Justin Finch-Fletchley and Susan Bones, for example) and Slytherins (Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle) in the same class as the Gryffindors.

If Steve Spielberg became the director of the Harry Potter films, he was going to combine the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and this film and make them animated. [7] Harry and Ron get to Hogwarts with almost no problem in the book, whereas in the film they nearly get hit by the Hogwarts Express, and Harry nearly falls out of the car. If you're after teasers for how work on the third film is progressing, then Kloves feels that "Three could be very interesting" from the script work done so far. The film shows that the characters are carried by Fawkes to a cave entrance in a cliff wherein a full moon gleams and they land onto the grounds of Hogwarts, then head to Dumbledore's office. The landing at the Hogwarts grounds and heading to the headmaster's office is done offscreen. Production designer Stuart Craig returned for the sequel to design new elements previously not seen in the first film. He designed the Burrow based on Arthur Weasley's interest in Muggles, built vertically out of architectural salvage. [27] Mr. Weasley's flying car was created from a 1962 Ford Anglia 105E. [28] The Chamber of Secrets, measuring over 76 metres (249ft) long and 36.5 metres (119.8ft) wide, was the biggest set created for the saga. [29] Dumbledore's office, which houses the Sorting Hat and the Sword of Gryffindor, was also built for the film.
