Back to Hogwarts!

Rating: 10/10 (7 April 2006)

It's back to the Wizarding world with Harry Potter. The cast that brought the first movie to life are back, with an absolutely brilliant addition, Jason Isaacs as Luscious Malfoy, Draco Malfoy's deliciously evil father.
Again, the script writers condense a full novel down to a 161 minutes in a way that, rather that leaving you feeling cheated by what was left out, you want to go back and read the book again.
The breathtaking cinematography and instantly recognizable score take the viewer into the wizarding world where we find Harry on his way through his second year at Hogwarts. He and his two best friends, Ron and Hermione, thought they were going to have a quiet year at Hogwarts. Instead they end up trying to find out who opened the chamber of secrets and set a monster loose in the castle.
Along the way, we learn a little more about Hogwarts and some of it's past students, including Tom Riddle, a charming young man who is much more than he seems.
