The first major difference is the way Harry is rescued from the Dursley’s. While the Dursley’s are having company over, Harry is warned that he needs to be on his best behavior and stay upstairs so they do not know he exists. He unexpectedly gets an unwanted visitor. It is a house elf named Dobby who wants to protect Harry and warns him not to go back to Hogwarts. When Harry refuses, Dobby gets very upset and makes a scene which makes the Dursley’s mad and they declare Harry is not going back to Hogwarts. Thanks to his best friend, Ron and his twin brothers, Harry is rescued from his personal prison. To illustrate, in the article entitled “10 Important Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Book and Movie Differences” from Bustle, Casey Rackham writes, “In the book, Fred and George have to get Harry 's trunk out of the cupboard under the stairs, but in the film, the trunk is conveniently right next to Harry” and “ I remember this part of the book being seriously stressful and exciting, so it definitely would have been fun to watch the twins try to get his trunk out from the cupboard.” (Rackham 1) The next main difference includes a very important rule. For Hogwarts students, magic is not permitted outside of school if they are under the age of 17. In the books, Mr. Weasley fixes Harry’s glasses after they break but in the movie, Hermione fixes them. This is a crucial fact because since Hermione fixed them, she should have technically been expelled. The final difference is that the movie never mentions that Filch is a squib. A squib is someone born into the magical world who cannot perform any magical tasks. In the books, the reader gets a sense of compassion for Filch but in the movie, he is just a mean, old guy who is too involved with the students business. Although there are many differences, there is still a plethora of similarities. The similarities include
