“Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets” Movie Review
“HP and the Chamber of Secrets” Plot Summary
Harry ignores warnings not to return to Hogwarts, only to find the school plagued by a series of mysterious attacks and a strange voice haunting him.
Worth the price of admission.
Warning to those who are avid fans of J.K. Rowling–I LOATHE the Harry Potter books. Yes, I have read them. I find her writing to be more than a little plagiaristic of the style of C.S. Lewis, but without the skill that he employed. That being said, I thoroughly enjoyed both this and the first movie. Frankly, I don’t care if the scriptwriters left this bit or that bit out; it is simply impossible for all parts of any novel to be completely included in a film without turning it into an epic of a minimum of seven hours, which is ridiculous. That is the nature of a film; much over two-and-a-half hours and the theatres are only going to be able to show a limited number of screenings, which will, of necessity, limit the profit to be made on the film–and the bottom line of any film project is ‘How much of a profit will it make?’. (And, of course, how many people are going to be able to sit through it without multiple bathroom breaks? I had to run out myself once, cursing, just when they were about to ‘follow the spiders’…)I found the casting to be clever and appropriate; of special note is, of course, the late Richard Harris as Dumbledore (and I wonder if they will make the obvious choice to replace him in the next movie with Max von Sydow, who could be made to look and sound exactly the same?) as well as the return of Robbie Coltrane and Alan Rickman. Both of these actors can actually act, as opposed to simply being screen personalities. The visual effects are stunning, although just a little too obviously digital in more than a few cases. The story is easily followed, which is more than I could say for the original books. The pacing was almost perfect; I only looked at my watch twice–my measure for a movie in which I am immersed. Both times occurred, I might add, when I was distracted by Rupert Grint’s voice obviously cracking–they’re going to have to do something about the fact that their stars are definitely more than a few miles down the road of adolescence
This movie, of course, is raking in the cash. Deservedly so; it’s not by any stretch of the imagination a movie of any deep and lasting meaning, but it gives good value for one’s entertainment dollar, and at the scandalous prices that movie admissions are reaching now, that is certainly a ringing endorsement. It was able to take me away from the insanity of a stressful holiday season, and for that reason alone I was completely satisfied. See if it can do the same for you.

This Movie Is MAGIC!
I was lucky to see a special preview of this movie last night and can highly recommend it, it is even better than the original movie. All the actors seem to be enjoying themselves immensely and there are a lot of funny scenes that will make you laugh out loud. It is a much more darker movie than the first but is a very faithful adaptation of the book. Kenneth Branagh is perfectly cast as foppish Gilderoy Lockhart and Jason Isaacs is a very sinister Lucius Malfoy. A special mention must go to Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, his facial expressions are superb, especially during the slug scene!Go and see this movie, I can guarantee you won’t be disappointed, 10/10.

A wonderful journey into a world where magic is, indeed, real.
Having three daughters I have a choice when a great book comes out: buy three of them (EXPENSIVE!!), force someone to wait until the other is done before they can read the book (sure, I enjoy breaking up fights!), or read it to them. I chose to read it to them so we could ALL enjoy it…and we did! Naturally, the kids were excited when the movie came out. However, when I saw the first Harry Potter, I was terrified it was going to be ‘butchered’ like most ‘books to movies’ are; but was pleasantly surprised by the relatively ’stick to the book’ script it displayed. Sure, some things were left out undoubtedly due to time constraints, but overall, it conveyed the story well
Chamber of Secrets did this even better
As an avid reader, I am quite hesitant to see my beloved books displayed on screen only to have the directors do them no justice. However, with both Harry Potter movies, the visuals were spectacular, the acting well done, and the characters almost perfectly matched. The set design for Diagon Alley and the Weasley house was fabulous! How wonderful to see these places come to life outside of our imaginations! This stays true for nearly every aspect of Hogwarts…from the greenhouse, to the moving staircases, the dorms and Dumbledore’s office. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson do superb jobs of playing Harry, Ron, and Hermione. The movie undoubtedly draws you in and makes you forget that this isn’t real…quite an acheivement!Of course, not all moviegoers will enjoy this one. It is not for the die-hard action fan, the horror-only fans, or those that dislike a bit of magic, imagination, and fantasy. But for the rest of us, Chamber of Secrets accurately depicts what until now, only our imaginations could see. Children will love this for the wizardry and magic, the struggle between Harry and his foes, the friendships that abound, and the simple fun of it all; while adults will love it for bringing them back to a time when magic was, indeed, real
All in all, I give this a 5 out of 5…fantastically done. Of course, I would have liked to see a bit more scenes from the book added, but I understand time restrictions. Great film and a definite must see!
