Our reviewer

8.0/10

Cars fly, trees fight back, and a mysterious house-elf comes to warn Harry Potter at the start of his second year at Hogwarts. Adventure and danger await when bloody writing on a wall announces: The Chamber Of Secrets Has Been Opened. To save Hogwarts will require all of Harry, Ron and Hermione's magical abilities and courage.

The review

You're a Wizard Harry!

Many Christians have avoided watching or reading Harry Potter because of it revolving around witches and wizards. However, the witches and wizards in this Harry Potter universe are very different to what we would think of as the occult. Its more of a fantasy world like Lord of the Rings or Narnia.

This movie promotes bravery, friendship, perseverance and love.
