Differences between the book/movie and game[]
- The GBC version of the game is by far the most faithful to both the film and the book.
- Only the GBC version, along with the PS1 and PC versions, features Ron and Lockhart accompanying Harry into the Chamber of Secrets like in the book/movie.
- Ron does not go into the Forbidden Forest with Harry in any of the games except in this version. Nevertheless in the PC version Ron appears in the initial cutscene of this level and remarkably says: "You'll have to brave the Forbidden Forest alone."
- The GBC version, along with GBA, PS1 and PC versions, does not feature a Whomping Willow located at the Forbidden Forest.
- In the book and the movie, Harry kills the Basilisk by stabbing the Godric Gryffindor's sword into its mouth. In the GBC version of the game, Harry swings the sword at the Basilisk whereas in all other versions of the game Harry has to use sword to fire lightning or magical energy at the Basilisk.
- In the book and the movie, Harry stabs the diary with Basilisk's fang. In the GBC version he also stabs it, but using the sword. Whereas in the other versions the diary is destroyed when the Basilisk lands on it or when it drops poison over it.
Trivia[]
- In the Game Boy version, Harry has to sneak into Filch's Office to take the Marauder's Map, but the Map isn't mentioned until Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.
