The Second film in the Harry Potter film series shows Harry (Radcliffe), Ron (Grint) and Hermione (Watson) back in Hogwarts for a second year. But this time a Chamber of Secrets has been opened and a monster is attacking the students. The headmaster- Albus Dumbledore (Harris)- does not know what to do, Hagrid (Coltrane) has been framed and the only clue is a diary from fifty years ago belonging to a boy named Tom Riddle (Coulson)...
Oh yeah, and their new defence against the dark arts teacher- Gilderoy Lockart (Branagh)- is an idiot.
HPATCOS is the last Harry Potter film directed by Christopher Columbus, It is the last film that has the innocence of Harry Potter before it all turns dark and tragic. It is also unfortunately the last film that Richard Harris played Dumbledore due to his death in 2002. The Chamber of secrets contains better acting than The Philosopher's stone and shows humour as well as tension which is what some of the later films fail to do. Cheesy ending though.
*****Brilliant
