Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets

Rating: 8/10 (31 May 2015)

PG(Supernatural Themes, Some Violence|161MINS|Adventure, Family, Fantasy Users need to know that this installment is more frightening than the first installment in the Harry Potter series and children spend a great percentage of the film in extreme peril. There are frightening creatures, including Acromantulas (giant spiders) and a deadly Basilisk (a giant snake) that can murder anyone who stares at his eyes. Though it appears that the children have been injured of murdered, all the students end up perfectly fine. Children who have not familiar with the series may be confused. There are some gross moments, such as when Ronald's spell backfires and he vomits slugs, and when another misapplied spell leaves Harry without any bones in his arm. Friendship, bravery, love and loyalty are always major themes in the series.
