The Harry Potter films keep getting better film by film

Rating: 8/10 (16 October 2004)

There is a rule which say that a sequel is always going to be worse than the first film. But with Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets and Lord of The Rings: The Two Towers it is shown that a sequel can be equally good or even better than the first film.
As long as you have got a good story ,something that J.K Rowling certainly has delivered. Then the film makers is going to be able to do a even better job with the experiences they got from the first film
While i liked Harry Potter and The Sorcerers Stone it had the problem of having to introduce the characters and the wizarding world (fx. Quidditch or the maildelivering owls).
Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets perfectly draws out the important things from the book and mix it up with some of the funny moments that make J.K Rowling's books a joy to read (I'm a big fan of the books if you haven't noticed).
The difference between the two films is that the important thing in the first is the introduction of Harry Potter and his surroundings and then the story is just something that you put in between. In the second film the story is the thing which is focused one and you are still able to get some new informations about the characters, and at the same time introduce some new. You also got better actors, because the kids have matured and got some experience.
When you combine the better structured story, the more experienced actors and the experiences that the crew have got from the first film, you get a very very good film which captures the essence of the books.
All in all "The Harry Potter films keep getting better film by film" and if you have only just seen Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets you can look forward to Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban
