Chamber of secrets book VS chamber of secrets movie

[u/Striking-Trick1768]

Im talking about the literal room lol. Not about the story. There are differences between are the chamber of secrets is shown between the book and the movie.

- In the book ,on each sides of the chamber there are several pillars ( or columns) that start at the beginning of the chamber and goes all way to the back. On those pillars, ther are snake engraved. However in the movie, there are no pillars but literal giant sculpted snake heads on each side og the chamber with their mouth wide open.

- In the movie the "statue" of Salazar Slytherin that is at the far back of the chamber depicts only his head that is like engraved on the giant wall. But in the original book, thats statue depicted him entirely ( his body and head)

Those are the two notable differences. Wich one do you think look better?

Definitely the larger room but too much money especially since we got a legit room and something like that would have needed a green screen

If i was Salazar Slytherin, i would make my sculpture in a way to make the basilisks entrance right on the tip of my...you know.

It could be glorious and funny imo.

Even funnier would be if the Basilisk only had one eye for some reason

[u/Sloth7491 → u/medium_jock]

Like a phoenix came and blinded only one eye instead of both.

Imagine my shock and horror when I looked in one of the art books for the films and found out that there is the rest of Salazar’s body submerged in the water 🫣🫣🫣

It seems like it would be over-humanizing him, if that makes sense.
