Didn't you say that we would lose money after filming?

Time flies by like a shuttle.

Soon, another six months passed.

Finally, amidst much anticipation, "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" has been given a release date after a busy nine-month filming period.

The difference in shooting time also shows that as the shooting progressed, the shooting difficulty gradually increased.

This is only the second installment; the filming of the subsequent installments will likely be even more challenging.

Fortunately, new technologies are developing rapidly, and as AI technology matures in the coming years, there may be opportunities for its technological capabilities to decline.

After much anticipation, the movie was finally released.

It almost immediately triggered a box office explosion.

It immediately topped the box office charts in various countries and regions.

This also sparked a strong reaction.

In Hanxia's home country, "The Secret Room" received a high score of 9.6 on Douban, a website where Hanxia films rarely get high scores.

Although this rating will definitely drop later and won't stay there indefinitely, it also shows just how powerful the film is.

The reviews also rose sharply after she cried.

“Starting from the second part, the world-building is laid out on a deeper level.”

Tom Marvolo Riddle at 16: jet-black hair; tall, slender frame; long, thin fingers; a high-pitched, cool laugh. At 18: While working at the Burkin-Bock store, he visited Hepzba Smith, dressed simply in a black robe, his hair a little longer than in school, his cheeks thinner, but all of this suited him well, making him look even more handsome than before. A red glint flashed in his dark eyes when he saw the Hufflepuff Cup.

Tom Riddle was a diligent student at school, eager for knowledge, and very polite. He was a handsome and academically excellent student.

The teachers all had a very good impression of him. Due to his excellent grades and outstanding performance, Tom was elected prefect in fifth grade.

In seventh grade, he was elected president of the boys' student council. During his time at school, he also received awards such as the Outstanding Character Award and the Special Contribution Award, and was awarded the Order of Merlin.

Dumbledore later recalled, "Intelligent. Certainly, he was the most intelligent student I had ever seen in the history of Hogwarts."

I'm afraid some viewers haven't seen the movie, so I won't say who Tom is. He's portrayed as a particularly charming, brooding, and handsome British senior, and he's incredibly charismatic when he wants to achieve something. Plus, the movie line, "I'm very good at persuading people," makes me really want to see him use his charm to trick Lady Grey, the ghost of Ravenclaw, into revealing the whereabouts of the Ravenclaw tiara.

"I always get so cravings for the Hogwarts banquets, so is there any content creator who can recreate them?"

"Roast beef, roast chicken, pork chops, lamb chops, sausage, steak, boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, potato chips, Yorkshire pudding, pea sprouts, carrots, gravy, ketchup, and mint hard candy."

Ice cream in various flavors, apple pie, syrup fruit pie, chocolate muffin, fried fruit jam donuts, liqueur-soaked fruit jam pudding, strawberry, jelly, rice pudding... sandwiches, and chilled pumpkin juice—a big thumbs up!

"The novelists explained that there is no such thing as 'nobles' regarding the bloodlines of wizards. There are only pure-blood wizards, half-blood wizards, and wizards of Muggle origin."

If both parents are pure-blood wizards, then you are naturally pure-blood as well (e.g., Ron, Draco, Neville, Sirius, etc.).

If one parent is a Muggle or a wizard of Muggle origin, then the child is a half-blood wizard (e.g., Voldemort, Harry). The child of a half-blood wizard is also a half-blood wizard, but this is usually not explicitly stated (but they will never treat you as a pure-blood).

Finally, there are wizards who are purely Muggle-born but possess special talents (e.g., Hermione, Lily). The children of these wizards are also considered half-blood wizards.

Do you feel there are too many half-blood wizards? Hagrid mentioned in the first book that the vast majority of modern wizards are half-bloods. It is precisely because of this that the few pure-blood wizards feel superior to others.

Furthermore, there's no reason for not marrying a Muggle to preserve magical talent. Purely magical families can have Squibs, and purely Muggle families can produce wizards. Magic isn't a genetic issue.

"Is it possible that Voldemort only targeted Muggle bloodlines because of this, since there are too many mixed-race people?"

Because Voldemort represented only pure-bloods, he was destined to perish. He failed to win over the half-blood wizards who formed the main force of magicians, relying solely on the support of pure-blood nobles to exterminate Muggle bloodlines and maintain oppressive rule over half-bloods.

"Pure-bloods are powerful too. The Prince of Light and the Prince of Darkness are both half-bloods. The outcome of the battle is irrelevant to them; they benefit from whichever side wins."

Dobby's initial actions are the easiest way to test whether a person can distinguish between primary and secondary contradictions:
Dobby's purpose: He knew the Malfoys were planning to kill Harry through the diary, and he wanted Harry to survive.

The reason he went so far at his uncle's house was intentional. As a house-elf, he didn't have any practical way to stop Harry. His idea was that Harry was trapped in the Muggle world, and in his uncle's house at that, so he could at least get through this ordeal.

Therefore, Harry had no idea that he would be killed by a conspiracy upon returning to school. The audience, with their omniscient perspective, knew that Harry would not die, but the characters in the story did not know.

Does that mean living at my uncle's house is better than dying at school?
Don't get into the habit of using the protagonist's invincibility halo to analyze the character's rational motivations.

"The young actor who plays Ron is so cute. Although his appearance doesn't strictly match the original character, he's got that adorable and funny vibe so well. The 'fake smile boy' persona remains intact."

Furthermore, the actress who played Ginny was a good fit, but there's one thing: although the young actress who played Ginny was also very pretty, the actress who played Hermione, Charlene Choi, was just too beautiful, and she was completely overshadowed.

"Don't you know who Xia Roujia is? Her father is Xia Yuan. She's a rich girl. The reason this movie even exists is because of her."

"Why does Harry have to go back to the Dursleys every year to suffer? It's because of Harry's mother's magic. As long as Harry stays in a place he can call home once a year before he turns seventeen, Voldemort and his minions cannot harm him. So Dumbledore requires Harry to go back once a year, even if he only stays for a short time."

"I really hate Dobby at the beginning of the movie. I'm really angry. Maybe it's because I'm already a corporate slave. If my project was ruined like that, if I were my aunt's family, I would want to kill Harry and Dobby... No matter how touching Dobby is later, I just can't get into the movie."

"Here, I have to admire Xia Yuan's portrayal of the character." (End of Chapter)
