The second Harry Potter movie was completely over rated! It dragged out for ages, there are almost no american actors at all, if any. The children are crap actors, like they're doing a school assembly, reading their lines, no expression or anything.

Everyone talked about Scary Movie 2, it was OK, but after all those missing finger jokes, I couldn't keep up with the story, with the ghost and the professors wife.

Why would they have American actors in a film where all the charaters are British?

I thought the second Harry Potter movie was very good. The kids are good actors in my opinion. I read that the author of the books wanted all British actors in the film and I don't blame her with her being British and the story taking place in Britian, the actors should all be British.

I think they should've sticked to another proposed idea, set the movie in America, not every movie stays that faihtful to the story. Besides there are certain parts were the British accent of snobbery is heard (Chamber of Secrets, Ron gets Harry's bars away with car, Harry goes 'George, Ron) and British people are overwhelmed by acting, especially children, they picked the actors of Crabb and Goyle from students of a school near the set. In the UK, there are hardly any studios for anything.

Anyway, this series is going to go downhill, it's taking the authour too long to write her next few books, and the next film isn't out till 2004, so, depending on how long it takes for the release of books, in 2017 we'll se the final. Bye the 4th film, some actors will have changed around, which no one will like. They should've filmed like they did lord of the rings, film all at once. Besides, if JK writes two crap books next, they are in a contract to produce them. (Just with Home Alone 3, this movie will die)

Yeah, you do have a point about the 4th film the actors they have will be too old. Personally, I think they should stop at 3. Just my opinion, though.
