Top Critics Reviews
fresh:
This new Harry Potter has its flaws, but it's better, as well as darker, than the first.

rotten:
Two down, presumably five to go, and already the franchise is entering dangerous territory: if you aren't one of the many who know their Harry Potter chapter and verse, prepare for a nap.

fresh:
Radcliffe, 3 inches taller and an octave lower than last year, is growing comfortably into his character, as is Watson, the fetching and confident Hermione.

rotten:
It doesn't help that Chamber is pretty much all business from the opening shot, trading in Stone's sometimes-clunky exposition for full-steam-ahead action.

Like many children I've met, director Chris Columbus seems never to have heard the word no.
