Better by far than the first, but...

Rating: 8/10 (29 November 2002)

"Chamber of Secrets" were much better than the first attempt to portray Harry Potter on the Silver Screen. Mind you, we should expect as much, since the actors have become older, more experienced and even mindful of what they are doing. However, I do miss a wider perspective on who Gilderoy Lockhart is, just like I miss the lack of exposure of Snape in the first movie. These are vital persons that would need a wider exposure in the story. Neither movie would lose in becoming a few minutes (10?) longer. The evil Lucius Malfoy, however, was great! This guy could really give you the creeps! Totally Arian, nazi-like, bad-dude... I look forward to seeing more of him in the movies to come... And who the heck is going to play Dumbledore from now on???
