This was the most anticipated sequel to the highly popular film Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone. This film begins with Harry living with his aunt and uncle away from the wizarding world. A house elf pays him a visit that creates a small stir within the house. Harry is forbidden from going back to Hogwart's, but through a mischievous act by Ron, and his twin brothers, Harry escapes and returns to the wizarding world. There is an dark presence at Hogwart's, and it isn't long until muggle born's begin turning up petrified. It becomes a quest to save the muggle born's and keep the school from closing.This book surprised most audience's because it was darker than the previous film. This film assisted in creating a solid foundation for the Harry Potter franchise. The old cast returned for this film, and new cast members arrive including a Ford Angelia. The actor chosen, Jason Isaacs, to portray Lucius Malfoy was a great choice. Kenneth Branagh arrives as the infamous Gilderoy Lockhart, and he did an excellent job with this character. However it was unfortunate that Richard Harris, Albus Dumbledore made his last appearance in this film. He created a gravitas impression of the character which made him seem very wise and knowledgable. The story remains as true to the novels as it can while fitting it to reel time. The plot develops more on what was mentioned in the first, and opens it up to the future films-future dangerous spells, feelings between Ron and Hermione, and a different form of Voldemort. The effects add to the story greatly, and the use of lighting really brings aids in presenting the characters.
I give this film a 10 out of 10 stars! This is another great family film. It is a great sequel to the first, and it cemented the film series in film history.
