Bloody Brilliant!

Rating: 10/10 (1 December 2002)

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the fast paced sequel in the Harry Potter series. The young actors have matured in more ways than one, the older actors are still amazing, but what else is to be expected when teaming together Richard Harris (Prof. Dumbledore), Dame Maggie Smith (Prof. McGonagall), Alan Rickman (Prof. Snape) and Robbie Coltrane (Rubeus Hagrid). This movie is slightly darker than the first, but that's to be expected when there are disembodied voices and one gigantic snake. The film introduced aspects such as new characters with a fluidity that if made like the first movie would have looked choppy and second rate. This movie is absolutely fantastic and has me counting the days until the release of the third movie which will be the introduction of a new director and many new characters to the world of Harry Potter.
