Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
At 34%, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is below average — but the pattern matters. It has strong rounds and weak rounds, and the weak ones tend to be the finals. The second Potter film carries the franchise's massive built-in audience but also the awkward-middle-chapter energy that comes with being nobody's favourite instalment. Loyalty to the series does the heavy lifting. It ranks among the weakest 2000s performers on the platform. Most voters pass in 2.2s. The ones who pick it do so in 5.2s — faster, more decisive, like they came in with a plan.
Synopsis
Cars fly, trees fight back, and a mysterious house-elf comes to warn Harry Potter at the start of his second year at Hogwarts. Adventure and danger await when bloody writing on a wall announces: The Chamber Of Secrets Has Been Opened. To save Hogwarts will require all of Harry, Ron and Hermione’s magical abilities and courage.
The 33-point drop from semis to finals defines Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets's bracket identity. It builds momentum through the middle rounds and runs into a ceiling when the competition narrows to the best.
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets dominates KPop Demon Hunters at 100%. Weapons at 25% is the one matchup where that confidence disappears.
#3 of 3 in Chris Columbus's filmography. Home Alone sets the pace at 48%, but Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is competitive with the top of the catalog.
