Stronger than the first film.

Rating: 8/10 (2 February 2004)

Having established all the characters and set up most of the foundation of Harry's world in the first movie, this sequel is free to concentrate more on the storyline and action. At times it suffers from being a little too similar to the first movie. Nevertheless, the child actors and special effects are better, as is the action. A strong, enjoyable movie. Like the books, the movies seem to get stronger as they progress ... Here's hoping "Azkaban" will be even better!
