  Sequel just as good as the first

Having read all the books so far it has been a natural progression to watch all the films firstly in the cinema and now collecting them on DVD.

Unlike most film sequels, Harry Potter doesn't lose any of the magic or spark.
However as I said about The Philosophers Stone, read the book before you see the film, it does make it all the more enjoyable.

We thought we had this title in the series but unfortunately we had not bought it when it was first released. We looked on ebay and grabbed a real bargain. The case and dvd were in mint condition and we were very pleased with the transaction.

  Kept Honest To The Book, One Out Of Two Great HP Films
Review created: 22/06/08

This film, like its predecessor, Philosopher's stone, higlighted JK Rowling's amazing story lines and kept to the book, not creating imaginary happenings that didnt happen. I have never really like Emma Watson's and Daniel Radcliffe's acting styles, but they certainly look the characters. Each individual, such as Kenneth Branagh, stayed true to the role. Richard harris was indeed the best Dumbledore. Compared tot the idiot Gambon we have now which has NO IDEA what the character should be like, I thought Harris portrayed him wonderfully. These first two HP films were spectacular, but as soon as we reached the 3rd and 4th film, HP lovers groaned. Changing the story line with some truly dreadful actors, us film and HP lovers remember the good first two films. Lets hope the 6th and 7th films exceed our expectations, which are pretty low at the moment. (5th was ok)
