A Triumph Over the First

Rating: 10/10 (7 June 2008)

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a triumph over the first. Harry is warned by a house elf named Dobby not to go to Hogwarts for his second year because he will encounter grave danger. He does when the Chamber of Secrets is opened, Muggleborns are petrified, and Harry is accused of being the Heir of Slytherin. Daniel Radcliffe is a better actor since the first, as are Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. Everyone in this movie is great, as is the young Voldemort. Dobby was pretty cool, and I kind of wish that they kept him for GoF and OotP. As a triumph over the first, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is possibly the best entry in the series.
