Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

2 Reviews

Overall Rating of the Movie (1=terrible, 10=fantastic) - 7 

What I Liked About the Movie

I nteresting plot and characters, but more horrific than its predecessor. The main characters have matured. Kenneth Branaugh brought great comic relief in his role which was a nice change from the horrific scenes, snakes and spiders. I wouldn't take a child or teen who has concerns in those areas

Additional Comments

The snakes and spiders phobias could be a problem at any age. I'm 52 and the spiders definitely bothered me.

Age Range I Recommend for this Movie - 10+
