Blah blah Wizards, blah blah Magic, blah blah Monsters...

Rating: 6/10 (28 April 2003)

The "Harry Potter" books are still much more fun than the movies, but I liked "Chamber" better than the first one. Of course, this could just be because I don't remember that much from this particular book in the series. It should be noted that while there is a moving (if very brief) final performance from Richard Harris, this film -even more so than the first- is an even bigger waste of John Cleese.
Interestingly, the various "tours" on the special features disk on the DVD set are far closer to the spirit of the books than anything in the movies. Check out the visit to Diagon Alley, make sure you explore everything, and see what I mean.
