Great sequel, wonderful direction, good screen adaptation.

Rating: 10/10 (18 March 2003)

It's difficult to watch a movie after reading the book without prejudice or bias, so with great trepidation and anticipation I took my family to see the second Harry Potter movie. I loved it! I know it's difficult to include everything in a movie and although I missed a lot of things in the movie, like the denogming and Percy's girlfriend sub-plot, their lack of appearance in the movie didn't take away from the movie plot at all.
The attention to detail made it evident that this was Columbus' favorite book and it made for a better movie. The grounds of Hogwarts were just as I pictured them to be. The casting of Lockhart could not have been better!

I can't wait for the DVD! This is a definite must-buy for any Harry Potter fan and Muggle as well!
