Better than the first

Rating: 7/10 (28 January 2003)

While I despised the first Harry Potter movie, this one proved to be much more engaging and better made than its predecessor. The kids obviously look more polished in this film, having actually learned something from the rather pitiful Chris Columbus. For posterity's sake, I'll give this film a 7/10 merely fro the fact that the special effects didn't look tacked on and the performances were much more grounded and realistic. All I can though, is we need more of the Weasleys! Just looking at them as a family is a hoot! Oh well, I'm rambling.
