Summary: Excellent movie, good special features
Review: The movie, is fun and exciting, as is to be expected. Although both this movie and its predicessors are perhaps so much like the books that a certain amount of creativity or freedom seems lost to the movie's director and producer. This detracts little for the true Harry Potter enthusiest.

Summary: All the mistakes of the book and some new ones
Review: This is the popular movie version of the second Harry Potter book. Once again, popularity and quality are not related. This movie has all of the flaws of the book (almost too many to count). The major ones are:
Ron Weasly breaks his wand. It is a hand-me-down. But we know that wands choose their owners and a wizard should never use someone else's wand.
Magic users are completely ignorant of the muggle world. One student cannot conceive of a poster where the pictures don't move. Students have never heard of basketball. Ron's dad works for the Ministry of Magic and yet is clueless as to how a bus stop works (and he works in London). (etc. etc.).
Muggles are not to learn that magic exists. Hermione's parents visit Diaganon alley and they are both muggles. How do they know their daughter is a witch? How does any mixed parentage work if letting muggles know about magic is a horrible crime?
Apparently it is illegal to enchant anything that is of muggle origin. I would love to know the "magical origins" of all of the objects populating the book.
The defense for the dark arts teacher is a complete buffoon and yet the wise heads of Hogwarts are completely fooled.
Hagrid has been wronged for many years (is he really 62?) and yet when his name is cleared there are no reparations or apologies.
Hogwarts is a center of magic but not the only place magic is done and yet they don't seem to be able to get a hold of any mandrake (there is no evidence that they even tried).
I still have been unable to figure out money in this world. There is magical money, of which Harry has hordes, but it doesn't really seem to be good for anything (although the Weaslys don't have enough). Harry stays with the Weaslys but never offers any help. Muggle money is for muggles and Harry has none. What is the magic money for (other than school supplies?). We'll have to see how Rowling settles that (although I doubt she will).Some changes were made to the plot in the first movie and I was curious how they would get resolved in this one. they weren't. Bad boy Malfoy has bought his way onto his house's Quiddich team by getting everyone new brooms. Since a seeker is the most important player (the only one who can win a game) it seems unlikely that one can buy into that particular spot. but wait! Malfoy is already on the team and already a seeker (see the first movie). It was a big deal that first year Potter was on the team and a seeker, but no big deal was made that first year Malfoy was on a team and a seeker. Now we are just confused. Did Malfoy buy his way onto the team as the new seeker in year two or was he already a seeker in year one?
I know special effects artists can get carried away with their craft but the sheer number of spiders in the woods is completely implausible. There would be nothing but spiders. They would have eaten all of the other inhabitants is there were as many as the movie shows.
But, mistakes aside, people like this film, or at least spent a lot of money on it. No long novel can be fully made into a single movie, but it seemed like the choice of scenes to include was almost random. One should really not waste one's time on this.

Summary: Based on the book by J.K. Rowling
Review: I am a huge Harry Potter fan, and I felt that this movie improved drastically over the first. Somehow, it managed to keep to the book while branching out juuust enough for it to not clunk along. This movie ends up being tighter and easier to follow for those who have not read the book. I would have given this movie 3 and a half stars if I could. This is because I had some little nit-picks. For example, many of the lines that were originally Ron's in the book were spoken by Hermione, making her seem like the flawless know-it-all and Ron like the dull and dumb sidekick. Also, Ginny was almost a complete absence from the movie, making it a total throw off the track when it was her opening the Chamber of Secrets for those who haven't seen the movie; in the book you can go back for all of the little clues. There were also some deleted scenes, like the Valentine, that I was upset about. Despite those, however, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Some of the inserted lines (follow the butterflies!) made me laugh out loud. Kenneth Branagh was hilarious as Lockhart, Jason Isaacs was perfectly evil as Lucius, and Rupert Grint was great. The DVD features include deleted scenes, and they are much easier to get to! Overall, this is one of my favourite movies.

Summary: Worth the Money, Worth the Wait
Review: Harry Potter fans all around the world have waited a very long time for the series' movies to be made, and it was so worth the wait!
Even though the DVD was fairly expensive, I am really glad I spent the extra money. Not only did it come with just the movie, but an extra DVD for special features. The actors acted out the characters exactly like I imagined they would be from the book, the diction of the actors was incredible and the image clarity of the movie was outstanding. The only part of the movie I did not like was with the spiders since I have an extreme fear of them, but the rest of the movie was just like I imagined it.
In this movie, Fred, George and Ron rescue Harry after he is being starved at the Dursley's house. Harry was locked up because Dobby came to tell Harry not to go back to Hogwarts, and that terrible things were about to happen. Harry is taken to the Weasley's where he has a bad experience with Floo Powder, meets his new Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher and goes to the train station to meet the Hogwarts express. The only problem is, when Harry and Ron try to go to Platform 9 3/4, it was closed. They have to fly to Hogwarts in Ron's dad's car, risking expulsion from school. During the year, Harry starts hearing voices that no one else cannot. There are also strange events in which students, and an animal, were petrified, and no one knows why. Harry, Ron and Hermione set out to find why Harry is hearing voices, why these strange events are taking place and what exactly the Chamber of Secrets holds.
This was a movie that I will continue to watch for a long time, because I love the Harry Potter books so much. No cost was spared with making these movies, and it shows in the quality of the movie. I loved the "Sorceror's Stone", but I love "Chamber of Secrets" even better!!
