Advantages: better than the first film and enjoyable
Disadvantages: it could have been much better

...up to the release of Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix DVD next month I have decided to review the previous films in the series. So this is number two in my series of reviews - Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets (2002). As I sat waiting for the second instalment of the Harry Potter film franchise to start, I kept thinking "Please be better than the first film" (I have a feeling my husband was thinking this too!). Yes I had enjoyed the ...
...In this film we see Harry and his friends return to Hogwarts for their second year where another plot is brewing to bring the evil lord Voldemort back to his former power.

Disadvantages: None for me

This Harry Potter DVD was taken from the second book in the saga.As the second movie, ardent fans had already been introduced to the film characters. For fans of the books it is a reasonable representation. For newcomers it is an easy to pick up tale without knowing the background.There is ,however, at the start of the dvd brief clips from the first film which help set the scene.Having said that it still has its whodunnit element entwined with suspense, ...

Disadvantages: Die-hard Potter fans will be disappointed in the lack of some subplots

...the transition of the famed Harry Potter books from paper to screen. The first four films have outstanding moments, but also disappoint the die hard Potter fan in so many ways. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix is no different, as many of the details included in the book have been omitted from or amended in the film. However, do not despair. It is still an edge-of-your-seat adventure that people will love. The Plot In this Potter tale, ...

Branded a liar by the Ministry of Magic, its head decides the academy is out of control. So he appoints Dolores Umbridge as the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher. However, her government-approved course leaves the young wizards unprepared to confront the massing dark forces that threaten ...
...where in the real world Harry and his bullying cousin are chased through an arid summer landscape by faceless Dementors. He partly achieves this with his use of handheld cameras that bring a sense of immediacy to the events while adding a sense of danger.
