Me gusta, aunque es bastante clásica, la construcción de la trama, trayendo cosas del principio de la película hacia al final, para que asocies.
Además, los efectos especiales mejoran en bastante consonancia, pensad que es de 2002 la película, y la anterior, que los Fx eran medio medio, solo es de un año previo.
El tono se va tornando más oscuro, para ir adaptando al espectador a lo que se viene en posteriores entregas, eso, y el eco detectivesco que tiene, es una maravilla, aunque sí que es verdad que podría haber indagado algo más en los temas más sociales como la fama y demás.
Me quedaría con eso, un reparto más maduro, y los añadidos que hacen que no sea tan monótona durando tanto, todo el tema de sonido y banda sonora, que es una maravilla, el diseño de producción una locura, y los efectos especiales, muy buenos para la época.
Lo único que no me llega a convencer es la duración, ya que sí que es verdad que es un poco más de lo mismo pero dura prácticamente 3 horas.… Expand

Harry Potter has just experienced his first lap around the sun in the world that defines him: a wizard, yet he spends the entire dreaded summer with the barbarous Dursleys, which meant no magic in the duration and waits for his second lap andHarry Potter has just experienced his first lap around the sun in the world that defines him: a wizard, yet he spends the entire dreaded summer with the barbarous Dursleys, which meant no magic in the duration and waits for his second lap and is intervened with warnings.

While being forbidden to use magic in the Muggle world, Harry is faced with even more non-magic warnings when a house-elf warns him to not enter the perimeter of Hogwarts for the upcoming term. The house-elf’s reason for abandoning Hogwarts is concealed, which does not give Harry enough motivation to stay home and ignores the warnings to live in his world of harmony.

Upon arrival at Hogwarts, Harry is proven wrong about his warnings when some of the insiders are stuck in limbo by a beast living in the school controlled by its pundit, who is anonymous to the student body. Since Harry is unable to manage the Muggle world, he puts his all into saving the learning nest of his world, and hopefully continues his education in the arts of magic with the help of the brainiac Hermione Granger and the devoted yet cocky Ron Weasley. As the trio make effort to unveil this ancient mystery, they enter a conspiracy of the adjective “Mudblood”, which is what Draco Malfoy’s alliance calls his peers who are related to Muggles. One of the trickiest things about filmmaking is the conservation of exposition and making its pacing work. This film runs at two hours and forty minutes including credits, which is estimated to be 40 minutes of secondary build-up, 80 minutes of exposition, and the last 30 minutes of a final showdown. The protagonist usually has the most amount of screen time and with this position taken by young Daniel Radcliffe who has burgeoned since the production of the first film, his smooth voice keeps our minds stable for every scene he is in. The first film was housed with frumpy special effects that made me rotate my head a whit, but here the effects team updated their past slip-ups and found their way of making us believe the definition of today’s effects.

I feel like some debris of reception has collapsed a wee bit since the first film, but the performances here, especially by the students, are exceptionally invigorating and will most likely improve as they evolve over time. Top it all off, a lot of storytelling, but very meticulous dialogue by the impersonators, no matter their age or experience.… Expand

It's not bad, but it completely lacks that wow factor that made the saga great and that you only get with the later chapters. However, it remains a very important episode for the economy of the saga.
