How to play Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on Mac
Game summary
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second game in the series for the Game Boy Advance. Like its predecessor, it is an action adventure game but this time with an isometric perspective. In Harry's second year at Hogwarts, the ancient Chamber of Secrets has been opened, and what lurks within is attacking students. To get through this ordeal alive, Harry must again complete various challenges. These mostly consist of navigating large mazes, fighting monsters, solving puzzles, flipping switches and pressing buttons for doors to open. As Harry is often in places he shouldn't be, stealth sequences are also a large part of the game. To avoid teachers and prefects, he can sneak around slowly and hide behind curtains. If he is caught, he is thrown out and house points can be deducted. Finally, Quidditch is also back in this game, this time in three-dimensional space, viewed from the back.

Play Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
