My only problems with this film

Both pertaining to the Duelling Club!

I hated how all the spells in the club were exactly the same, I remember looking forward to seeing Malfoy be tickled and Harry dance ridiculously :p and even after being Expelliarmused, Lockhart was still holding his wand!

And then, we hear Harry speak Parseltongue. We should have heard him say "leave him!" and join Harry in the confusion as to why everyone was angry ...

I just like how you made "Expelliarmus" a verb.

That's my opinion and I'm sticking with it.

My problem had to do with the entrance to the Chamber of Secrets.

I'll accept it remained unfound for 1,000 years but what I can't buy is that the snake enblem was on a faucet in a bathroom. Did the original founders of Hogwarts create faucets and flush toilets when they were building the castle? It just seemed out of place for me.

the plumbing at Hogwarts does seem a little advanced for the era of its construction. but flush toilets were first introduced by the Mionoan Civilization roughly 2000 years before Hogwarts. The Greeks about 1500 years earlier developed hot and cold plumbing. The Romans who built the great baths in England had all this and had faucets. So the plumbing at Hogwarts is not that much of a stretch.

The fact that the spells all have pretty much exactly the same effect has always bothered me as well, and the fact that Lockhart still had his wand was the worst part of it all.
