“Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” (ハリー・ポッターと秘密の部屋), Original Release Japanese Movie Poster 2002, B1 Size (c. 71 × 103 cm)

This is an original Japanese B1 theatrical poster printed in 2002 for the first Japanese release of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (ハリー・ポッターと秘密の部屋), directed by Chris Columbus and based on J. K. Rowling’s second novel. Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson, the film deepens the series’ tone—darker mysteries, bigger creatures, and the first truly ominous year at Hogwarts—cementing the franchise as a long-term phenomenon.

Design
A classic early-series key-art collage built for maximum impact in the larger B1 format: Harry, Ron, and Hermione dominate the frame in Gryffindor uniform, with Harry gripping his wand and sword, framed by the shadowy architecture of Hogwarts. At the bottom, Dobby rises from misty darkness—an instantly recognisable image for this chapter—while the gold Japanese title treatment ハリー・ポッターと秘密の部屋 anchors the centre with the familiar Warner Bros. credit block beneath. The top-line Japanese copy 「2年目が始まる！」 (“The second year begins!”) perfectly captures the campaign’s hook.

This poster is in excellent condition (please refer to imagery of the exact poster for sale). The colour and contrast remain strong, and the overall presentation is extremely displayable—once framed, it will look superb.

It is over 23 years old.

It is not a reproduction or a reprint.
