Did Chamber Of Secrets PS2 age well? 

"There's 2 things Ron loves in the games: beans and sleeping." Gotta say, the man has his priorities in order.

"That was exhausting Harry, I'm off to bed" -Ron after watching his friend take the whole grade flying exam in one day 👌👌

As a kid, Ron getting tired after doing one thing was hilarious to me As an adult, his getting out of bed has me applauding

I love Harry and Ron being "late" while standing right next to Lockheart... a teacher... who can definitely get them to Hogwarts

I appreciate Kevin hiding under his desk and moving his chair back and forth for all his talking bits like I’m a 4yr old watching a magic puppet show lol *clapping toddler hands together*

At this point Kevin’s previous playthroughs are nostalgic to me 😂 Honestly Kevo I’m living for you replaying HP games!

"the boy who lived... Laughed and loved" - of course the best joke of the whole video was waiting like a little Easter egg at the end 😂😂😂😂

This was a horror game for me as a kid. I remember being terrified of the chase music whenever you got caught during one of the sneaking sections.

Kevin’s adventures at Hogwarts is one of my favorite series. So glad it’s coming back.

an hour of kevin? what did i do to deserve this absolute gift?

Words to live by: You can't kill me. I'm in a cutscene.

The answer is “yes”. This game has actually aged incredibly. The only issue is the load times.

Are we actually going through the whole entire Harry Potter Series again? Because I’m totally here for that!

THIS GAME WAS MY CHILDHOOD. So many good memories of shooting everyone with spells and stink pellets. I'm happy to see Kevin choosing to ruin this game as only he can.

Always amused me that Salazar was like 'okay, gotta make a secret chamber. what should be in it? I know! A giant statue of my angry face!'

i'm so confused why every single battle in the game pails in comparison to the pure fear that the random shopkeeper at 11:55 instills?? why did they make HIM so scary???

As soon as I realized this video is an hour long I immediately felt an overwhelming sense of happiness. Your Harry Potter play throughs are honestly some of my favorites. I rewatch them when I need comfort. Thank you for being you Kevin. You’ve helped me through so many hardships in life.

Who knew Kevin's chair could fill in so perfectly for him. A true method actor

I absolutely adore the soundtrack in these, one of the lesser known works of Jeremy Soule (Elder Scrolls Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim,...), trully a hidden gem ^^

This game has a really special place in my heart. Growing up, we were really really poor, so I couldn't afford new games and played this over and over and over again. Great video.

Kevin appears to really be getting his money's worth with that invisibility cloak he bought, it seems to come in very handy

As a child that section of the game when you're breaking into the animal shop was terrifying for me as a kid, the horror music gave child me a heart attack everytime he spotted me, it also didn't help the fact that he looks like a moldy squidward.

Sometimes I wonder what situations happened where students would rather work together than tell a teacher and potentially get house points taken. Like someone turned half their bed frame into a giant frog and the fellow dorm peeps are like, well we don't want to lose points so we'll put up with the occasional ribbits.

you really are 😐 one of the most 😐 talented flyers 😐 i’ve ever seen 😐 and you deserve 😐 the highest grade 😐 a distinction 😐

I think the reason Ron and Hermione always give out these tasks in the middle of the night is because they go to bed at like midday, sleep all day and are awake all night.

Thanks to you Kevin, my husband and I invented and use the phrase, “I’m Ron exhausted”, to describe when we’re really tired

I think Kevin's nailed the frequency of these longer videos. There's definitely an appetite for it and it feels like a nice surprise present to unwrap when they're uploaded! If the main course is the usual 15-20 min videos, this feels like a big dessert! If you're reading this, loving the work man

I never got past the polyjuice potion mission because I softlocked the game. Discovered getting caught in that mission took house points from Slytherin so kept doing it & managed to sneak outside to play on the broom. Whilst outside the polyjuice potion wore off and Snape camps at the main door catching you but it respawns you just in front of the door (and Snape) to get caught again

I love how Kevin used the fade effect on the beginning invisibility cloak bit, instead of using a greenscreen effect, despite the cloak clearly being designed for greenscreen use. 🤣

I really needed some childhood nostalgia. I loved the Harry Potter games. Even the Call Of Duty Deathly Hallows spin-off. Thank you, Kevin. You're a legendary Irish Angel. ☺️

You know, I won't claim to be a Harry Potter expert or anything, I haven't watched the movies in a while and I didn't read the books, but I don't seem to recall the part where Harry had to run through an elaborate death maze every time he wanted to learn a new spell.

Ron glitching into the wall made me laugh an unreasonable amount, it was just like watching you play these the first time

I've had a fucking terrible terrible day, and to see that Kevin has uploaded an hour long sequel to his best video in a long time, just turned the whole thing around Thank you Kevin :)

Just imagine Kevin Moving his chair from the ground without being in the frame is hilarious x)

This is probably the best video yet. There’s just something about Harry going “oof” after every cutscene and Kevin making a comment about it. I’m crying

I would have loved to see the PS1 Chamber of Secrets again. Lockhart’s “dear dear” lives in my head constantly. I hear it whispered in my mind sometimes.

The funny thing about Kevin saying that Arthur Weasley must be a death eater is that there are probably dozens upon dozens of fanfics in which he is a death eater.

I've never read the books, watched the movies or played the games, but Snape seems like a swell fellow. Hope he becomes the Headmaster at some point.

I find it hilarious that Kevin made almost all the same jokes as in his previous playthrough of the game, his sense of humor is timeless

Harry sloooowly lowering himself to the ground on the broomstick and then it cutting to an explosion made me actually laugh lmfao.

Getting caught by the shopkeeper at 11:48 was the most terrifying thing ever for me as a kid.

If Kevin became a mostly Harry Potter games channel, I wouldn't be opposed. I want to see him actually play through the entirety of the Lego Harry Potter games. That would be amazing.

With the tree battle, there is actually a "safe zone" by the roots to the left where none of the force field hits can reach Harry and he won't lose health the whole boss battle.

He was so close to figuring out the ultimate cheese in dueling. I used to get so frustrated back in the day because the AI in game can be annoying with how many times they’ll counter, but then I found out that diffindo has virtually no travel time when you cast it. You can effectively counter once, immediately cast diffindo and watch as they completely botch their counter…works every time.

In my youth, I played the PC version. Watching this, it's incredible they managed to share so much (Sound clips, textures, missions) and came up with games so different.

I love how he rebooted the series in this legacy format. Hopefully he'll actually play the 4th one fully

You know, he asked it as a joke, but... relying on their wands to cut threads means they really don't use scissors for the simple things.

The blank stare Harry gave me and the way Goyle laughed about mudbloods are exactly how I feel today

It took me 21 minutes to realize that Kevin's chair was empty because he's wearing the invisibility cloak from last episode.

I had this one on PS2 as a kid, and i have a very… odd memory lmao. My sister and I were obsessed with finding “secret spots” in games. I’d get ti the point where I’d have the broom and fly around looking for “secret spots”, which are basically like nothing areas in the game that NPC’s don’t go to, are hard to reach, or maybe have a secret item and require some obscenely weird thinking to get to. I don’t remember the spots in this game, but i do remember “THIS IS MY SECRET SPOT” and “AWWWW YOU GOT THE LAST ONE” 🤣🤣🤣

i actually liked a lot this game, even though night phases were terrifying me as a kid and forever haunted me in any stealth game

I'm so glad Kevin's hour long HP vids are a thing now. This was a fun evening watch thanks for doing what you do Kev!

Kevin is single-handedly keeping the PS2 Harry Potter games alive

Seeing lockhart painting Jim Pickens explains why harry had to go through a death maze.

Kevin's HARRY POTTER game play got me through the lock down and I still come back to it a handful of times every year.

The Spinning Mace Bridge makes me suspect that before Hogwarts was Hogwarts it was some kind of Sen's Fortress type place.

It’s crazy how different this game is so different to the PC version, it’s basically a completely new game!

I'll be the first to say, this game did definitely not age as well as you did, Kevin. You're like a fine wine, only finer.

Getting caught by the shopkeeper almost gave me a heart attack as a child

I'm so glad you're continuing doing these Harry Potter playthrough! I enjoyed the previous playthrough and I was hoping to see another one. Best hour spent in my life! Thank you so much for your hard work!!! ("The Boy Who Lived, Laughed, Loved" is my favorite thing from now on)

In the sneak-passages there is a loud sound, if a "seeker" sees you. As a child this sound scared me so much, i was afraid to keep playing. So i just played the start of the game over and over again and had a great time. I was weird. Edit: Kevin is referring to it as "the horror music" :,D

I'm still upset Kevin hasn't played the PC version of this game yet. It's the best of all the Harry Potter games.

This and Grand Theft Auto Vice City were my first two PS2 games and I found Chamber of Secrets incredibly charming and fun...except the frequent and long load times even when going from one door to another. It was insane. If not for that major flaw in the programing, this would have remained one of my sentimental favorites.

Also that orchestra that comes out of hiding every time someone finds him out of bed at night.

I know they aren't practical to do often but I am loving these super long special videos recently! This one was great

“I know at least seven people that would swipe right on him.” Wait- Kevin knows seven people?? I’m jealous

I've been re-reading the books so I came onto his channel to rewatch the other HP games. And I found this! Blessed. Also whenever he mentions he's 2 years younger than me a part of me goes into existential dread.

The Jim Pickens painting at 34:29 is such a nice touch *chef's kiss*

I didn’t realize this was over an *hour* long… guess I’m getting the popcorn! Keep up the great work, Kevin!

Literally opened youtube to see that Kevin uploaded 30 seconds ago. So glad that the cult hivemind is still kicking in when needed

Finding out that Flipendo was brought back in Hogwarts Legacy made me happy, from the PS1 games to the PS2 and PC games, Flipendo has always been the one Spell that you could rely on from helping with puzzles to stunning enemies for an opening, or even interrupting Prefects that are in mid-cast of loco-moto-motoris trying to catch you.

0:17 - Oh god. The moment Ron said that line, memories came flooding back about this game. I had entirely forgotten I even played this at some point...

I remember as a kid, I’d get to a point in the game where I had no idea what to do. I would just start over and keep repeating the parts of the game I did know how to do and I still had a lot of fun!

So here I am at 3 AM unable to sleep, going through Kevin's Harry Potter videos to relax me as every night, and I see a thumbnail that's not familiar. A new HP video?! All the love, Kevin!

"Dad tried charming it". I know in context of the book that means he tried to enchant it but if taken without context it sounds like Arthur really wanted to bang his washing machine.

I used to be inexplicably terrified of the prefects in this game. I tried to boot my copy up again but alas she was proper dead. Nice to see a full playthrough from Kev though!

Me: Sees Kevin has uploaded over an hour of Harry Potter content. Also me: Locks self away like a creature with food and drink and no distractions.

I vaguely remember playing the PC version of this back in the day. Now that I am older I come to realize that bertie botts every flavor beans being practically everywhere (and I think they were the currency in that version) is both disgusting and unlikely. Old me was all about collecting them though so I guess that's game design for the win?

34:31 Lockhart painting Jim Pickens in the background! 😂

Love Jim's cameo at 34:29 . Very sneaky

I remember playing this game as a kid, I thought it looked so realistic at the time 😂

When I saw that this was an hour long, my jaw DROPPED. I am *thrilled*!! I really hope these marathon videos do well, because I LOVE THEM!!!

It's rare I think, I wish I could go back to that time but this entirely batshxt crazy game does make me wanna experience a time when my only real world problems were beating Fred's gnome score or getting shxt done without a prefect catching me.

Why does this seem significantly different than the GameCube version? This was my absolute favorite game growing up aside from The legend of Zelda and God of War, but either my memory of this is very off or the PS2 version was astronomically different. Love your videos Kevin! Keep up the amazing content! ❤️

I can’t wait for him to get to the 4th game. I would be surprised if it’s more than a 5 minute video.

my mom and i spent HOURS playing this game together when i was a kid, this makes me so nostalgic 😭

I loved when Harry said "ITS GOYLEIN' TIME!" and goyled all over the castle

i currently have the worst stomach ache ever, and kevin keep making me laugh. it hurts, but he’s so fecking funny that i’m willing to live with the pain

Day 283 of asking Kevin to play Disney Princess: Enchanted Journey

Omg lord washing machine is so nostalgic 😂 I forgot that was a thing till this exact second. Loved that whole mission

Absolutely loving these hour-long full playthroughs Kevin, keep 'em coming!

These games were my childhood, waking up on christmas morning playing it with my brothers. These videos will always have a place in my heart, thanks for playing them so much kevin!!

Checks if Kevin uploaded today (glad he's on a more laid back schedule). Sees its an hour long full HP playthrough. HEAVY BREATHING

it's crazy just how different these games are on different platforms. i grew up on the pc chamber of secrets, and it is vastly different to this.

Hearing Kevin calling Ron Weasley's dad a lunatic is the funniest thing I've heard in a long while, and it's got me rolling, lol.

This makes such hilarious background noise for reading! Also I used to have such bad aracnophobia that the entire spider scene in the movie would make be nauseous. Now I don't even get scared at all lol

i'm enamored with these playthroughs. i didn't realize i had been watching for longer than a normal vid's length until i looked at the time bar and saw i was forty minutes in. i know youve mentioned that most of the time, these videos dont do the best with views, but your hp gameplay makes for some of my favorite videos on the chsnnel. i'm absolutely chuffed you've been replaying these.

The only thing better than The Sims from Kevin, is Harry Potter. I will never tire of this channel, Kevin is so hilarious

Man I forgot how traumatic it was to get caught in this game, the insane music sting and losing all our house points terrified me up as a little kid.

Of all the games I never completed as a kid, never getting past the transfiguration class still haunts me 😭
