Hey Mike, I just spent the last hour watching the Chamber of Secrets run. Both video and audio quality is good. I am going to give this run a strong accept. The runner uses some astonishing stair jumps and trick jumps, as well as great cutscene skippage. Also, thank the runner for giving me a good breakdown of the segments, it really helped!
I would question though weather the 'Bean Room' is skippable. It was a few months since I last played this so I don't know. Theres a cutscene right before it so I guess you can't skip it.
Verdit: Strong Accept

...I'm speechless. I'd seen a few segments during the production of the run, some clips showing how great it'd be, and really the run is incredible. Everything is perfectly done. This game should not have an entertaining run, and yet I'm glad to rewatch this!
So many amazing skips I'd never thought of, and I've scoured this game for hours. I'm just glad to have been able to contribute one skip, and one of significance too :).
Incredible run, easily accept.

Comments are in the spoiler tag.
The audio/video quality was good, no
cheating detected either.
The overall execution and tricks were
above average as well.
Easy accept.
Things of note:
In the lessons (the part with the
arrow keys) it may be slightly faster
to fail the first round 3 times (to
skip some dialogue).
EXTREME EPICNESS (Segment 1)
~7:00, snails are not goombas
(Segment 5)
~14:27 crabs are goombas (Segment 11)
Wait what? (ALL of Segment 16)
~23:00 Diiiii- (End of Segment 20)
~23:50 Missed a jump over a gate,
forgiveable due to the unskippable
cutscene prior (End of Segment 21)
~27:05 Morre like a 150 degree turn,
but still perfect execution (Segment
24)
~27:49 lolwaitwut [my actual
reaction] (Segment 25)
~29:24 yay trigger dodging (Segment
27)
~31:20 another missed jump
opportunity (Segmjent 29)
~33:02 Goyle. (Segment 32)
~36:08 I liked that part, except for
missing items down there as Goyle and
having to get them as Harry... so...
many... tries... (Segment 34)
~36:47 Poor Nick... (Segment 35)
~39:03 Staying back, then moving
forward so Harry has momentum going
through the doorway would have been
faster (Segment 36)
~40:10 O.O (Segment 37)
~41:05 Poor Nick... (Segment 35, I
mean 39)
~41:41 Boring part. (Also Segment 39)
~43:55 Mind=blown (Segment 41)
~45:20 Rictuspamra (Segment Life, the
Universe and Everything)
~46:17 Poor Nick... (Segment 35, I
mean 39, no wait, 43)
~47:55 What just happened here...???
(Segment 46...that explains it[it's
in the commentary as "This is a short
and awesome segment!"])
~50:40-51:10 ... wow ... (Segment 50)
~51:21 Did this really warrant an
additional segment? (Segment 51)
Timing:
starts at 0:10
ends at 51:32
Run length 51:22?
tl;dr version: accept.

Great run, really well-executed and a heap of fun to watch. Some brilliant skips and optimisations were found here, without needing to break the game or clip through walls to achieve the desired effect. I especially liked the racing commentary
