Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002 Chris Columbus)

Much as before, with a beautifully animated house-elf, some spiders, an independent-minded Ford Anglia and a giant snake which owes a certain something to Ray Harryhausen. Over-acting honours this time go to Jason Statham. Kenneth Branagh is the new Defence of the Dark Arts teacher.

Shot by Roger Pratt (Brazil, Batman, The Fisher King, Dorian Grey) in Panavision.

It is useful to have a phoenix about you.


I love the attention to detail and production design.
