Well, sure, I haven't made it out to too many movies of late. I plead frugality. But this past weekend, I stayed at home and watched a double feature of Harry Potter movies. I'd already seen the first one, HP and the Sorcerer's Stone, and enjoyed it for the depth of detail shown in Potter's world. But I hadn't yet seen the second one, HP and the Chamber of Secrets. I enjoyed it immensely. Because they didn't need to establish the world of Hogwarts, they could instead use the time to delve deeper into the detail of the world and traits of the characters. Dark and intricate, the movie was long enough (at 2 hours and 41 minutes) to cover it all well and still leave you wanting more. (Take note, Tarantino and Miramax.) And what a wonderful casting decision to bring in Kenneth Brannagh as this episode's professor of Defense against the Dark Arts.
Okay, I'm ready for the next episode to come out. June 2004, apparently.
