Better than the first

Rating: 8/10 (8 January 2003)

I liked the first 'Harry Potter'-film. It wasn't a masterpiece but it was very entertaining. This film is as entertaining as the first.
I liked this one a little better since we know the characters now. The visual effects were better than in the first film, and a funny performance by Kenneth Branagh is added in this one. I also liked Dobby, a new computer generated character that punches his own head when he wants to punish himself.
The story was exciting and clever. Although that was more the work of J.K. Rowling the screenwriters did a great job adapting the book. A great adaptation and a story for almost the whole family, may be not the smaller children.
