Website Game Asylum has more information on the “Chamber of Secrets” game:

Much like the first Harry Potter movie tie-ins, each version of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets been tailor-made for its host format. PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube and PC owners can look forward to a 3D mini-game packed affair where “players become Harry Potter and delve not only into Harry’s world, but also into his personality, via an internal voice”, while the PSone version sees Harry on a quest to win the House Cup while completing coursework for his potions, transfiguration and herbology lessons.

Nicely, the Game Boy Advance incarnation will be able to link-up to the GameCube version, so players can transfer maps, magical items and secret spells back and fourth. Last, but not least, the Game Boy Color game will be an RPG featuring mini-games, duels and multi-player modes.

All seven versions are due out this November, just in time for the new movie. Now there’s a surprise.
