More of the same but still fun.

Rating: 7/10 (3 December 2005)

For me, this film, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is merely a continuation of the first Harry Potter. But that necessarily isn't a bad thing because I very much liked the first one and the same director Chris Columbus is back for this outing. Like the first one, we have a Quidditch match again, the kids looks exactly the same, and it is again a true adaptation of the novel with another intriguing detective story (finding out who the Heir of Slytherin is). And again, John Williams (with William Ross' help) gives us a clone of his Sorcerer's Stone score (which again isn't a bad thing though I will have to wait until Azkaban for a truly incredible Potter score from Williams). All in all, a 7 out of 10.
