For a text to be considered fantasy genre, its setting, plot, characters and themes need to have certain elements. Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets consist of all of these fantasy elements. The purpose of my essay is to explain how the conventions of fantasy genre are evident in the film Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The storyline of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets starts out with
Clay Jannon and the supporting characters of Kat Potente and Neel Shah to prove the importance of having accomplices when a protagonist tries to uncover a mystery. This theme is also prominent in J.K. Rowling’s book Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, where the protagonist, Harry Potter, is supported by his friends Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley.

The book I read was Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, written by J.K. Rowling. The story takes place at Hogwarts, a school of witchcraft and wizardry. Harry Potter is a student at Hogwarts, and Ron and Hermione are his best friends. The main focus was a secret chamber hidden in the school, that has been opened and was opened years before.
