Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Who's in it: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Christian Coulson

What's it about: Harry Potter(Radcliffe), Ron Weasley(Grint), and Hermione Granger(Watson) are on the move again. This time, Harry begins hearing voices in the castle. Mysterious messages begin to appear on the walls and people are being petrified. Journeying into the Chamber of Secrets they meet Tom Riddle(Coulson), the spirit of Voldemort. They need to seal it forever and save their friends once more from the evil Lord Voldemort.

What I Think: J.K Rowling still does her very best when writing her stories. Again there was alot of detail left out. Kids are growing up. Different Voldemort and everything and I enjoyed that. Coulson played a great Tom Riddle. Still kind of wish everything wasn't so bright. Great movie, kinda boring in places, but in all I loved it. Of course, I'm a fan of Harry Potter in general.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Who's in it: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Alan Rickman, Robbie Coltrane, Richard Bremmer

What's it about: Harry Potter(Radcliffe) has been famous since the beginning of his life. Voldemort(Bremmer) killed his parents, yet he survived the 'Killing Curse'When half-giant keeper of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hagrid(Coltrane), comes on his 11th birthday, he discovers he's a wizard. Harry and Hagrid go to get his school supplies. At the bank, Hagrid gets out a mysterious bag. On the train to Hogwarts he meets Ron Weasley(Grint) and Hermoine Granger(Watson). They immediatley start unraveling the mystery of the Sorcerer's Stone which prolongs life. Voldemort is trying to come back and finish off Harry. Professor Snape(Rickman) is looking quite suspicious

What I Think: Book was great. J.K. Rowling is one of my favourites. Rickman does a great job. He really had the right stuff to play the evil Professor Snape. The beginning careers for three young people. Radcliffe was great. Cute little accent. Grint is adorable. He just puffs up those cheeks when he smiles and you just want to hug him. Watson has the most uncontrollable hair but acts well. Alot of detail was left out from the book and that is what made the movie not so great. Book was definetely better than the movie this time.
