We have a lot of DVD's in our collection, and this one is by far the most-viewed. The thrilling plot and climax keep you on the edge of your seat, even after you have read the book!! Daniel Radcliffe gives an excellent portrayl of Harry Potter, as do the other actors and actresses. Even if you aren't a big fan, you should still view the movie as it has amazing technology advances, an exciting plot and climax, and excellent actors. Not just for kids!! A highly reccomended movie from a Harry Potter freak!!

I saw 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' the first night it came out in theatres. I obviously had high expectations as it is an excellent book and they had to make it an excellent movie. I saw the first movie, 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone' and enjoyed it, but this was seriously twice as good. I didn't think the book was twice as good as the first, but they really made the movie good.The effects were as good as ever. The Quidditch match was excellent, Dobby was funny, the giant spiders, the slugs coming out of Ron's mouth, the flying car, the snake, the willow tree, the mandrakes, all very good.I thought the beginning was funny because Harry was so much bigger than the first, and Ron's voice had broken, but I got used to it. I also couldn't help laughing when I saw Draco Malfoy. I know he' supposed to be mean, but what's wrong with Draco's hair? Another amusing scene was when Crabbe and Goyle just happened to see some food floating in the air and they eat it. Ron's wand backfiring also made me laugh.The movie was also better because in the previous movie, I noticed a lot of scenes being cut out, especially in the beginning but it was not the case in this movie.Finally, Richard Harris as Albus Dumbledore who recently died played an excellent part. He was an excellent Dumbledore, and I doubt the next one will be as good.Overall, I loved 'Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets' and everyone should see it because it's a great movie that nobody should miss. 5 stars definitely.Also, stay until after the end credits for guarenteed laughs.

For starters, TPoA is my favorite book of the series so far and I was highly looking forward to seeing its movie adaptation. I loved the new feeling Cuaron brought to the story itself. Don't get me wrong, Columbus did a good job with the first two movies, but I like Cuaron's style much better. It's darker. It has a little more edge to it. We are seeing Potter grow up in front of our eyes and we know that his journey is only going to get darker before the inevitable confrontation with He Who Must Not Be Named.
One of the only problems I had with this movie is the fact that I felt Cuaron could have focused a little more attention on the Marauder's Map and it's creators, plus, I felt a little more time could have been spent explaining the animagus (and the fact that Harry's dad was one too). I might get stoned for saying this, but I'm glad quidditch wasn't a major focus area with this movie. Plus, I loved how the characters evolved not only with the book, but also in the movie. Was I the only one who applauded when Hermione punched Draco? Come on, we all know he had it coming! I love Remus Lupin and Sirius Black (RIP) and thought the performances by David Thewlis and Gary Oldman did their characters justice.
Overall, I'm satisfied with Cauron's vision with this movie, but the only disappointment I had was that it brought up important points which weren't explained enough for the sake of leaving the movie under three hours. I don't know about you guys, but I could have also seen a few more Fred and George Weasley scenes. Those guys always put a smile on my face.
