Game description: Be Harry Potter in a new adventure with more magic, friends, and danger. In his sophomore year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry stumbles upon a dark chapter in the school's past. In an effort to confront the powers at the heart of the Chamber of Secrets, you'll learn new spells, undertake new quests, make. And where last year's Potter game had to construct an action-adventure from the mostly action-free first book and movie, the plot of Chamber lends itself more easily to a game. All of the cool scenes are here, such as Harry and Ron hijacking the flying car, fighting the creepy Aragog spider-monsters, and exploring the forbidden Chamber of Secrets.

We just released a Feb. 5 '89 prototype of DuckTales for the NES!

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?
Notes: Try to convert the audio files and search further in the text files.

To do:
Extract the sound files including dialogue and checking the .BIN language files for anything that isn't spoken or shown in-game.

There are files mentioning characters like Dobby, the Bloody Baron and Dedalus Diggle. Find a way to decode '.geo' files.

Unlike in the PC version, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is another example of how video games often vary from game systems. Like this for instance, where you can just spam the Knockback Jinx [Flipendo] on people all day just to hear their annoyed, but often hilarious, complaints and pain sounds if you're bored.

Unused Enemy

Troll

A troll is present in the game's files, especially in the test level. It has no collision nor movement, it just stays still and makes some animations. The textures are badly done and it has no AI. It had to be abandoned very early in its creation. Its rejection seems quite obvious (there is no troll in Chamber of Secrets). However it can be seen in a painting...

Unused Sounds

Test Sounds

Button Sounds

This sound, found in the one for menus, is never used.

This sound was used in the PlayStation 2 version of the game, but not here nor in the Xbox version. It would end up used in the succeeding game.

Spell Sounds

Flipendo Switch

Harry potter and the chamber of secrets gameboy advance

These are strange sounds that seem to come straight from the PS1 version.It refers to 'Flipendo Switch', probably the sound the Flipendo buttons were supposed to make.

Unused Dialogue

Dobby

These two lines reveal that Dobby was supposed to be present in the game.As in the movie, the narrator explains that Harry set Dobby free. Then Dobby looks surprised to see Harry, this indicates that he was not supposed to appear at the beginning...This line is pretty much the same using the ps1 version and the dobby voice actor is the same as in the PS1 version

Unused Level

Test Maps

In the game's files of the GameCube and Xbox versions of the game are some test maps which can be loaded via file replacement. They all have the same level structure, but with different objects. The file names are most likely the initials of the developers who used them. Interestingly, at least one of the test maps in the Xbox version has a bigger file size, but whether any of the test maps are different on the Xbox version still needs to be investigated. The PlayStation 2 version either doesn't have these test maps or stores them using different formats. Some of the test maps have broken collision, and one doesn't load at all.

The Pink Room

In the game's files, there is a test level named 'PinkRoom.geo'. It can be loaded by replacing files.This level is quite simple: There are various objects that don't always work. The most interesting thing about these objects is that there are unused ones like a rotating trash can that gives infinite beans. But most notable is Dobby's head, its head is animated. Harry seems to have an interaction in front of him (the dobby model is actually used in the PS1 version of the game, the images use in the book is the version models of the gamecube/xbox version). There are also scales that don't look like the ones that can be seen in the game.

Unused Dungeon

This dungeon is called 'PreLibry' and from its appearance, it would be an early version of the Restricted Section...This level is really unfinished and has a lot of bugs: the doors are invisible (this is fixed when a Prefect sees you), the spells don't work (even those cast by Prefects) and when you restart the level all the sounds of the game except the music and Harry's voice will be disabled. There are LOTS of chests and jars but they are all empty. There is no overhead camera as in the final version, so the camera is always stuck between two walls.The Prefects have a slightly different behavior more reminiscent of the PS2 version, only the spells don't work. They do chase you as in the PS2 version however, and them catching up forces restarting the level again.When you arrive in the big room, there is a blocked door (although the video doesn't show it), you were probably meant to cast Flipendo on a button, only since the level is unfinished and spell projectiles won't spawn, that has no effect...

A large, empty grey room named 'Viewer'.

Unused Lines

Inside the langtext directory of the Filesystem, one can find the .BIN files which are all for captions of dialogue in-game. Though, some are unused...

Supposedly, this was for an intended Level Select cheat considering there is a string for 'Cheats' as well as 'I'm a big cheater!' in the language files.

Wizard Cards...?

Who knows? It is possible these were temporary strings to ensure no Wizard Card ended up using the wrong text string, when the later cards would display in the Folio Magi. This string appears 10 times.

You collected a...

The formest line in this suggests the Lumos spell was to be toggleable, as Nox is the canon incantation to disspell Lumos. However, the spell was presumably made to dissipate after a short time making Nox unecessary. The later lines here are generic-styled pickup text strings, while the PAUSED_CONTINUE string is what it is, for pausing the game.

The other strings after it are never displayed; the formest is plainly obvious, no text is displayed when picking up a Wizard Card the moment it vanishes in Harry's hand, and neither Knuts nor Galleons appear in Diagon Alley.

Much like before, these are generic strings for collecting mandatory items for Harry's second-year adventure at Hogwarts.

The first line regarding a potion kit suggests Harry'd keep a kit containing his set of any potion
