Harry's back

Rating: 5/10 (23 December 2003)

The second outing for Harry Potter. After spending the summer back with his guardians Harry is finally summoned for the second year at Hogwarts. This is slightly darker than the original and shows us what to expect during the next few years.
The main three leads do little in terms of character development over the original film. The most interesting character in this is Draco Malfoy who certainly does develop from his role in the first film. It is also quite scary in places and you could argue that the spiders and tree scene are more scary than similar scenes in Lord of the Rings. I'm sure children will have had sleepless nights over those scenes.
