Better than the First

Rating: 8/10 (10 April 2004)

Able to do away with with character introductions the second Harry Potter film can move straight on with action.
Although the film still suffers from being a bit too long the film has nowhere near as many draggy parts as the first one. If anything its the rabbit to the first one's turtle.
Set pieces involving Ron's magic flying car are wonderful, and the spiders in this film would give the spider in Return of the King a run for their money.
If you liked the first film, or even if you didn't, give this film a try since its a large step in the right direction of fantasy films.
(Although a large cash reward for the remains of that annoying house elf will be paid if it can be promised that I will never have to set eyes on him again.)
