Quite Unhappy

Rating: Null/10 (10 November 2002)

I just got home from the premiere of Chamber of Secrets. I feel that too much creative lisence was taken with this film. It was fine if you have never read the books, and were just watching a film, however it left many gaps that I am not sure how they will be recovered in the 3rd movie.
The omission of the detail in Knockturn alley, the change of the events in the ending scenes were key scenes, that were frankly written perfect by J.K., why would there be a need to change them.
On a positive note, the casting was perfect! I am only sorry that the scenes with Gilderoy were not as good as the book.
I would not put anyone off from seeing this once, but I certinaly will not be returning 3 and 4 times like I did for HP SS.
