An inordinately well-acted film!

Rating: 10/10 (21 November 2002)

Gee, and I thought I liked the last movie...
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is the second installment of both the books by J.K. Rowling, and the movies directed by the very talented Chris Columbus.
I warn you, the following may be thought of as spoilers; if you do not wish to hear such things, leave now.
Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), along with friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) are to begin their second year at Hogwarts school of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Much like the beginning of the last film, the Dursleys are mistreating Harry, complaining about the noise caused by Hedwig (his snowy owl) amongst others.
Dobby, a house-elf, comes into Harry's room one evening and says that he cannot return to Hogwarts, for there is a great evil amongst the grounds.
The Weasley brothers (Fred, George, and Ron) come to rescue Harry from the Dursleys, and bring them home to their house, The Burrow.
As always, Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) is Harry's arch-nemesis (aside from Lord Voldemort, of course). Felton is probably one of the better actors out of the students at Hogwarts, in my opinion, and Jason Isaacs, who is Luscious Malfoy, his Father, gives an Oscar-worthy performance. You can definitely tell that they're Father and Son in the film.
Harry is accused of killing Filch's cat, Mrs. Norris, when he is found at the scene of the crime, along with other victims.
This means the Chamber of Secrets has been opened, unveiling a great new evil.
Cristian Coulson plays the new evil in this film.
As the plot unravels, the audience will become more and more intrigued and engrossed by what is happening.
If I had a choice out of five stars (the Canadian rating of films; may not be in other countries), I would definitely give it that. I highly recommend this to those who may, and even who may not have, seen Harry Potter and the Philosopher's (Sorceror's) Stone.
