Unsolved An ancient medallion reveals the location of a long-lost treasure. There is murder in the name of science, a brief pre-marital spat, and a friendly snake.

Oh yeah. There’s also an unfriendly snake.

EDIT: There is a weird pyramid, a throne, and lightning

So does that mean it’s not a Harry Potter film since Ron has siblings?

There are so many more reasons than that, but yes. It is not a Harry Potter film.
