Based on my least favorite Potter novel, the film folllows suit. The actors have gotten better, but are still finding their voice. On par with the first, but not better.

Good Adaptation

One of the better adaptations, "Harry Potter and the Camber of Secrets" brings to life one of the better books series I've read.

The story was good, and from what I remember, doesn't miss the big picture of the book. The acting is good, using most of the same actors from the first movie. The magic that the book had was really brought to life through the imagination and ideas of the directing and acting crew.

The characters in the film were almost exactly as they were in the book, which made for a great experience watching. I can't remember any details in particular that made the movie different from the book character wise.

I loved the adaptation more than the other Harry Potter movies.

The worst of the books

As it should be, the worst of the books became the worst of the movies. As the kids grow, so does their acting ability, which was very weak in the first film. But, this one is only so-so because of two things, the source material was average at best and Chris Columbus's directing was no good. He tried to turn every moment he could into a Hallmark moment, when he should have just let it be.

A decent sequel

As a follow up this was good. To create a well made sequel, even if it is off of a famous book, is not an easy challenge. The effects were well done, and the adaptation to screenplay was decent. Unfortunately this is also one of Richard Harris' las roles. He performed very well as Dumbledore and he gave the character a certain charasmatic charm.
