**** out of ****

Rating: 9/10 (6 January 2002)

Next to "The Mummy Returns", "Harry Potter" is the second best film of the year. It's 2 1/2 hour running length didn't hinder my enjoyed in the slightest. This is a wonderfully imaginative film, which is scary in the just right places, but not too scary. It knows its limits, and that's what makes the film work.
