Synopsis
Young wizard Harry Potter and his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger face new challenges during their second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as they try to uncover a dark force that is terrorizing the school.

Review
The saga continues as Harry's second year gets darker and scarier. Not quite different with its predecessor, the second instalment maintained the same aspects of cinematography (director Chris Columbus' second stint..) and performance by the cast. While the tone of the film got a wee bit darker this time, the enchanting world of Harry Potter is still bright and wholesome enough to charm young and old audiences alike. The formula of telling the story is no difference to the first one as staying faithful to the book seems to be the only way to get things right. Fans of the series will definitely favour this.

Rating
3/5 Stars
