Hogwarts begins to reveals ins secrets...

Rating: 7/10 (26 February 2020)

This second book in JK Rowling's "Harry Potter" series sees our trio of wizarding weans start to develop a much closer relationship with each other; and we begin to realise the challenges young "Harry" is to face as he grows up. This is much more sinister than the opener; Alan Rickman "Prof. Snape" starts to come into his own as his evil nemesis v Maggie Smith as his professional proponent and "Dumbledore" (Richard Harris) starts to develop more as a character too. I could possibly have done without "Moaning Myrtle" but the story is well adapted and moves along quickly, with a little more humour than the first one. Again, score and effects are hugely complementary to what is simply a cracking fantasy adventure story.
