Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (DVD review)

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and a large supporting cast. This is a faithful reproduction of J.K. Rowling's book, and as such it shares the flaws and virtues of the original. The world of magic that Rowling has created is charming, but the plotting of her books is flimsy. Yet perhaps it is wrong to be overly critical of a book series which targets, principally, children. There's a lot of great fun to be had in the Harry Potter books and films. Grade: B
