Aroview: The second Harry Potter adaptation is better fun and more settled in its mingled tone of magic, fantasy and thriller.

Daniel Radcliffe again plays the bespectacled hero of J. K. Rowling’s cult novels, returning to Hogwarts for more training in wizardry (and rivalry with other students), only to find a spate of ‘petrifications’ threatening the institution. He also is starting to hear strange voices in the air…

4 stars (Very Good) Harry returns to Hogwarts for his second year, with even more magic to learn and dark forces to battle. An improvement on the first installment with more action, humour and special effects. ~GenXGirl
