Did the Stephen Knowles read the book?

Rating: Null/10 (11 May 2003)

I have to say that the director Chris Columbus did a great job with the second installment of the Harry Potter films. But did Stephen Knowles read the book?
The entire film was brilliant, much better than the philosophers stone - which is expected because each book is better than the last - but what happened to the ending?
Maybe it was because Mr Knowles is a Texan that the ending got screwed up! I mean it is not difficult to make the ending good because it is all written in the book!
I could not believe it! The film was made so well, and portrayed J.K.Rowling's world so well that the last five minutes proved to be a disappointment - I am just glad I did not go to the cinema to watch it.
Apart from the ending which is cheesy (American) I would give a 8/10 as the film follows what J.K.Rowling has written. If you have not seen this movie then you must - BUT read the books first!
