The tone of the first two movies, The Sorcerer?s Stone (2001) and The Chamber of Secrets (2002), may have appealed to a fascination with the capricious machinery of meta-natural laws at Hogwarts school. The movies? spookiness was a Halloween trick (or, if they liked it, treat) - the equivalent of a mischievous uncle shouting Boo! on the other side of the door.
