Hey everyone, welcome to Harry Potter Theory.

In my most recent video I broke down some of the biggest plot holes in Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. And before I had even finished writing the script for that video, I realized there were probably enough plot holes in each book for this to be a video series.

Once you start looking closely enough, you begin noticing all sorts of strange contradictions and moments where some of the internal logic feels..Dubious at best. And Chamber of Secrets, which we’ll be focusing on today, is probably one of the best examples of this in the entire book series.

Now, just like last time, I do want to quickly clarify what I mean by “plot hole.” I’m not talking about characters making bad decisions or simply withholding information from the audience. A real plot hole happens when the logic of the story itself starts conflicting with previously established rules or information. There are plenty of lists online with ‘plot holes’ that do not fit this criteria AT ALL, and I know I’ve been guilty of doing some of that in the past.

Chamber of Secrets is a book that relies VERY heavily on mystery and hidden information, so we’re in for a treat here.

Let’s dive into it.
