 | | Children, Harry Potter fans, and fantasy addicts will find much to love in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", but it might just not be worth it to anyone else. |
 | | The treatment of minor characters is disappointing: many characters from the novel are included for a brief cameo, as a treat for the book's readers. |
 | | This has the unfortunate side-effect of making the screenplay feel oddly like a role-call — a character appears in a scene, someone (usually the late Richard Harris) intones their name, they smile and nod, and speak a line or two, and are forgotten. |
