I love Harry Potter. I did not watch this film with a critical eye, so don't expect much real commentary.

This movie was definitely better than the first one, which I did like. I don't think that the quailty was higher or the directing was better, I just think this one was better suited for a translation to film. Tons of excitement and tons of new adventures. I only have two major complaints. The first, which is minor, is that the kids are just average actors. Still, they're kids so it's ok. The second is that Chris Columbus is a boring director. He took zero chances and it was noticeable. I blame the studio as well, but it's not all their fault. I'm curious to see what Alfonso Cuarón, the director of Y tu Mamá También, will do with the next one. I just hope it will not involve any threeways.
