Harry Potter as Cinema: ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets’
Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Directed by Chris Columbus
Written by Steve Kloves
USA, 2002
Director Chris Columbus returned with the second Harry Potter installment a year after the first’s release. As a film, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets is a marked improvement over first installment. It’s not even close to being perfect and it has gone down greatly in my estimation since when I first saw the film in the theatre. However there is enough good stuff in there to make it an adequate Harry Potter film while not really holding up when compared to the films following it.
