From: Remi Category: Films Date: 25 August 2007 Time: 06:20 PM Review: A definite improvement on the last one. Not another 'goodie disguised as a baddie and vice versa' film. Had a believable (well, almost) plot, the usual characters a little of older and few new ones thrown in. The computer graphics have improved since the first one, not so wobbly. The occasion was my nephew Pascal's eleventh birthday. Since then we have taken to reading Harry Potter to each other and testing each other on words. So many great things come out of this cultural experience. Potter is somewhat harder to stomach now as a middling teenager, and a fairly surly one at that. Of course, he has his reasons, but his younger self was more naturally cinematic. Is he a worse actor than the others? I'm not convinced. I've got so used to them it's hard to tell. I thought he was great in 'Extras', so that makes me think he's alright. Haven't seen the other child actors in anything else, aren't they good enough to do other stuff?
