Simply as good as the 1st

Rating: 10/10 (18 November 2002)

The only reason the first Harry Potter movie may be better is because it was the opener to the series and therefore more magical and new. This new one offers everything the first did AND more (especially in the climax), but as much new stuff as there is, some of it is still just more of the 1st movie. It is another episode into the story, so we revisit things from the 1st movie, whether this is good or bad is up to the viewer. The kids are all great, the teachers are all great, and the action sequences are all great. 10 out of 10
