Trivia about Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (film) includes:

• Alternate DVD Commentary:
  • Riff Trax
  • The fansite "The Leaky Cauldron"
  • Wizard People, Dear Reader
• The Cameo:
  • Chris Columbus cast his own children in various nonspeaking background roles. Most famously, his daughter Eleanor is Susan Bones, who is seen in nearly every crowd scene.
• Throw It In:
  • The initial concept for Lucius Malfoy was of a man with short blond hair and a pinstriped suit. Jason Isaacs argued that Malfoy, being a wizard supremacist, would want to look as different from a Muggle as possible. He put on a blond wig and velvet cloak and suggested a cane for grand gestures, leading to the now-iconic Lucius Malfoy look.
  • In Chamber of Secrets, when Harry and Ron are disguised as Draco's minions, Harry forgets to take off his glasses. Draco points them out and Harry says he was just doing some reading. Draco's response ("I didn't know you could read") was an ad-lib by Tom Felton.
  • In Chamber of Secrets, the bit with Harry going "Don't worry, I will be" was Daniel Radcliffe deliberately channeling another Harry.
• What Could Have Been: Hugh Grant was cast as Gilderoy Lockhart, but had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts.
