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.

Disadvantages: Innacurate Arthurian references(I dont remember a Ruber in the legends)

...2 things drew me to the movie firstly there was the 2 headed dragon on the cover, secondly the word "camelot" in the title, you know you're in for a sword swinging, Knight filled adventure when you see the word "camelot" (thats unless it's realated to the lottery, but anyway.....)
