The Chamber of Secrets owns the Sorcerer's Stone.

Rating: 10/10 (30 November 2002)

I recently got into Harry Potter, after seeing the Sorcerer's Stone. The first one was really good. The Chamber of Secrets, however, was a greater accomplishment. I heard nothing but good about this movie, and I got even more than what I had expected. I didn't expect this movie to be as great as it was. I thought it would be good, but not THIS good.
Richard Harris' illness was apparent in this movie, as his voice was raspier than it was in the original. Rest in peace, Richard Harris. Your final movie was great.
I also noticed the kids have grown up a bit. This made the movie seem less like a kid's movie than the first.
I'm not going to go as far as to say this was better than LOTR (like someone foolishly said), but Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets SHOULD be among IMDb's top 250.
