katikat | Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets

Well, that was... rather boring. I found the book boring too, so... It was too long, too confusing, too ridiculous. If they had cut out a good half an hour of it, it would've been much better.

What I liked: Lucius Malfoy. Gosh, what a character! Severus Snape! I'm still unsure about his motivations. Harry, Ron and Hermione! Their friendship is a beautiful thing...

What I didn't like: Dobby! That one gets on my last nerve! It was so in the book and in the movie too. Ginny Weasley! A whiny little girl. Voldemort! What a disappointment. I expected someone scary and got a scorned teenager.

I'm glad that they cut out parts of the book - like Hermione's infatuation with her teacher! - but without some of the bits, the story felt rather... confusing in places.
