Abstract/Summary
This thesis is a comparison of the novel and the video game adaptation of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. Using the three elements of fiction, plot, setting, and characters, I was able to compare and contrast the similarities and differences of the video game adaptation from the novel. The principles of video game adaptation written by Daniel Tanguay and Albert Boylen justify the alterations in the video game. In examining the phenomenon of adaptation, I have used the theory of disenchantment of art by Walter Benjamin.
