This movie was a very fun classic Harry Potter film.This movie I think is a little bit stronger than the first movie. Some reasons are the child actors improved immensely,also did the CGI. A couple small flaws were the final battle is quite scary for younger children. The only other thing is this movie is Too long. It was like 2 and 1/2 hours for adaptation of the shortest book.One mega positive is the CGI improved hugel.,from spells to house elves and snakes,The CGI was awsome.

It's actually not bad for a movie. Although, the change in voices confused me for a minute. Being blind really sucks when it comes to trying to watch a movie. But they did an almost good job with this one. They should have left the sene from the library in there. The movie doesn't make sence with out it. But aside from that, they did a good job. Almost all of the senes they did put in there, were as good, or in a few cases, like Dobby in the hospital, were better. Of corse a few were changed. But All in All, this is one of the better ones. Of corse that doesn't mean I like it. They were almost close to the book this time, but it is one of my least favorite books. However, I'll leave that bit of judging to others.

This movie wasn't scary. Maybe some scenes were intense, but not SCARY. The only part that made me hide under the blankets was the part where giant spiders came out (and of course my friends pulled the blankets and pillows away and made me watch the scene anyway.) Of course the book was better, but the movie was so much like the book. I enjoyed the movie a lot.
