Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (PC)

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a game based on a film of the same name. The PC version surpasses Sorcerer's Stone in every way.

Debug Mode
To enable debug mode, open game.ini with a text editor.

Game.ini will either appear in the system folder where the game was installed, or in the Harry Potter II folder in My Documents, where the game stores save data.

Find this piece in the file:

[HGame.baseConsole]

bDebugMode=False

bUseSystemFonts=True

Change bDebugMode=False to bDebugMode=True and save the game.ini file.

Once the debug code is activated, press one of the following keys during gameplay to activate the corresponding cheat function:


 * Delete - Ghost Mode Toggle (Use arrow keys to move forward/back; mouse to steer).
 * F4 - Shortcuts Menu (Use mouse to make a selection).



The Shortcuts Menu allows you to access Levels, Bookmarks and Sounds. There are only a handful of bookmarks, and they appear to be commonly seen game scenarios like Quidditch. Sounds appears to be a full set of speech files for characters. Double clicking the sound files does nothing.

GSTATE is short for Game State. Its function is currently unknown. The list of available GSTATE values are: 000, 010, 020, 030, 035, 040, 045, 050, 060, 065, 070, 080, 090, 095, 100, 110, 115, 120, 130, 140, 145, 150, 160, 170, 180.

Unused Level: Gryffindor's Challenge
There is a hidden challenge stage that appears to be mostly completed. There are two ways to access the level.

1. Harry must be in Ghost Mode in debug. The warp is placed behind a locked door in the Gryffindor Common Room.

2. The level can be accessed in the Levels part of the Shortcuts Menu. The level is called Ch7Gryffindor.unr



The entrance area is on the left side of this screenshot.

Entry.unr
A level named "Entry" can be found in the Shortcuts Menu. It is a bare room with a single texture repeated.



Small Chasm
A small area exists underneath the dungeons. It was built as part of a puzzle to get a Wizard Card. A platform drops partway into the area, leaving the rest unused and inaccessible.



The unused area is at the bottom of this screenshot, and has blue/grey stone textures.

Unused Cutscene Areas
These are areas that are used exclusively for cutscenes, and cannot be accessed through normal gameplay.

The Fat Lady's Room
The Fat Lady's portrait is static when looking at it. However, when Harry approaches the portrait, the Fat Lady's dialogue is spoken in a cutscene. These cutscenes take place in this room.



Transition.unr
This is a level containing an unfinished wall of Hogwarts. The entire backside is unfinished, and some parts are missing textures. As the name suggests, this level was used to display time transitions.



The level can be accessed through the Shortcuts Menu, or through a warp somewhere in this actor's room.



The actor's room is on the left, and the entrance hall is on the right.

Unused Music
A song called Flitwick's Boogaloo from the Game Boy Color version of the game is used as the level music in Gryffindor's Challenge. This song can be quietly heard in Gambol & Japes' shop in the GameCube/PS2/Xbox version.
