Magical sequel.

Rating: 8/10 (4 March 2014)

Based on the book Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, this is the second film in the Harry Potter film trilogy, a story about Harry Potter who is rescued from the clutches of his neglectful aunt and uncle and a bratty cousin from his Hogwarts friend, Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), and taken back to the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in a flying car. From this scene on, you will know this will be an magical and adventurous movie filled with surprises and spells. Harry ends up back at the school, despite warnings not to return, and hears mysterious voices from inside the school's walls. He also learns that muggle-born students (students born from humans, not witches) are being attacked and soon everybody discovers that the Chamber of Secrets has been opened. What follows is a daring mission to discover the Chamber and to solve the ongoing crises.
Witches Professor Snape (Alan Rickman) and Professor McGonagall (Maggie Smith) and the school's all-powerful headmaster, Albus Dumbledore (Richard Harris), return in this sequel, providing another mystical performance.
Like the first film, I think this movie followed J.K. Rowling's novel very well, including in it most details that capture the imagination, magic, adventure and drama of the story. Director Chris Columbus and the team of writers and special effects people gave again a pretty entertaining and believable movie, with some more heart-pounding action than the previous film.
Overall, it's a good sequel and I think is one of the best in the series altogether.
Grade B+
