Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets Movie

"Let me introduce you to your new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher: Me. Gilderoy Lockhart, Order of Merlin, Third Class; Honorary member of the Dark Force Defense League and five time winer... of Witch Weekly's Most Charming Smile award. But I don't talk about that. I didn't get rid of the Bandon banshee by smiling at him"-Gilderoy Lockhart
Ok so I was going to start with Parseltounge but I couldn't figure out how to write in Parseltounge so I figure a Lockhart quote would be just as good. Forewarning there are SPOILERS in this review. 
This movie follows the book fairly well. As in basically every book to movie adaptation ever, there are a few small errors and things left out. 
My top problems:

• The beginning bothers me because it leaves out a little with Harry having to do yard work.
• The degnoming scene got left out, which yeah isn't that big of a deal but I love that part in the book so I wish it was in the movie.
• Harry doesn't really give Ginny his books in the movie. In the book Harry gives Ginny his Lockhart books because he knows how expensive they are and he has plenty of money and its kinda sweet and cute that he gives his to Ron's family. 
• Lucius and Arthur don't get into a fight. That part really bothers me. Lucius insults his family and then he doesn't actually get to fight him? I think they handled that very well though. 
• You miss Lockhart being really vapid and not taking them to class like he's supposed to and then Harry and Ron go visit Hermione. 
• The Deathday party. Does that not being in the movie bother anyone else? I mean I get why they didn't include it with all the CGI they'd have to have and all but substituting detention with Lockhart just bothers me. I mean he did get detention with Lockhart but he has detention before that. 
• Lockhart's detention. So Harry does indeed have detention with Lockhart for being late and crashing into the Whomping Willow, which will from now on be WW. And he does hear voices. However, Lockhart doesn't show up outside the bathroom where they find Mrs. Norris. No that is after the DEATHDAY PARTY^^.
• The complete absence of Penelope Clearwater as a character. I mean she gets petrified with Hermione and is Percy's gf. 
• Also Ginny loses a bit in the translation to movie. Not much but you never see her get pale and jumpy and try to tell everybody about Percy and Penelope.

So those are my biggest problems with the movie, yes the scene in the forrest bothers me a little but it isn't one of the worst parts. I give it seven of ten paw-prints🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾 It's a definite need to watch. I love it because it's Harry even with its flaws.

Always look around corners,
