The Music of John Williams: 40 Years of Film Music
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-07-28 Summary: A most complete collection ... For those of us that have collected soundtracks for many years and specially John Williams' music, it might seem a little redundant to buy this four disc compliation of his music that has every single track that I am sure every collector owns at least once. However once you start listening to the pieces you start to notice the little differences in their performance from the original versions. There are subtle changes in rythm and tempo and even different instruments play certain parts. These nuances make this redition ...more

Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets
Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-10-16 Summary: Year Two at Hogwarts ... After the phenomenal success of J.K. Rowling's first four Harry potter novels and the first Harry potter film, there was no doubt that the boy wizard would be returning to the big screen. In Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, we are given a darker tale that explores the pasts of Hogwarts' students and professors. It was with this story that author J.K Rowling first began to experience a backlash from more conservative parents. Most were disturbed by the themes of death and violence, which Rowling insisted was ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-09-29 Summary: Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets-Bluray ... love each and every Harry Potter film so I'm sort of biased, but I will comment on Picture quality. Very good picture quality for an older Potter film coming from WB. I give it a solid 4/5 as there is a bit of softness throughout the movie, but still looks great coming from the DVD version I've seen so much of. ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-09-25 Summary: Better acting, that's for sure. ... The trio is growing up. And so are their acting skills. I loved the ending with the... wait no spoilers! Great movie! ...more
Editorial Reviews — [1] ... Amazon.com | First sequels are the true test of an enduring movie franchise, and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets passes with flying colors. Expanding upon the lavish sets, special effects, and grand adventure of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone , Harry's second year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry involves a darker, more malevolent tale (parents with younger children beware), beginning with the petrified bodies of several Hogwarts students and magical clues leading Harry (Daniel Radcliffe),...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-08-18 Summary: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix for Wii ... This game is fun and challenging. I am not a big gamer in fact the Wii is the first game system I have ever bought, because it is more interactive. I love the way it plays over other systems. Harry Potter is a fun game to play and I have gotten stuck and had to ask someone how to get out of it, but that makes it more fun because it is not too easy like some of the other games I have played on it. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-20 Summary: Better than expected ... This was my first Harry Potter game and I found it to be fun. Using the Wiimote as a wand to cast spells made the game interesting. Trying to convince a new player to say the magic words outloud while playing is even more fun though. ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-06-20 Summary: good game but no code ... We got the game fast as requested. But when we tried to install it there was no code in the box. So we could not play the game. It was for my daughter's birthday. She was really disapointed. So the next week we went to a Walmart and bought the game again. She really enjoys the game. But we had to buy it again. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-12 Summary: Best Game I've Ever Played ... This is the best game I've ever played. The video game has nearly flawless graphics that make me thankful I am running it on a PC. It is fast, fun, and, much like New York City in Spider Man 2, there is not a single area in Hogwarts that you cannot travel. I have spent hours upon hours playing this terrific game. Don't listen to the other negative comments- this game is Perfect. :) ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-15 Summary: Reading this was like sitting with an old friend.... ... and recalling that magical night in July of 2007, when all the speculation, theorizing hype had hit breaking point: the night of the book 7 release was a night few Potter fans will ever be able to forget.

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-13 Summary: A Window Into The Harry Potter Fandom ... You can't help but enjoy this book. It's an inside look into what is now known as "The Harry Potter Fandom". Even being apart of it all, you will still find yourself caught up in the way everything unfolded. Halfway through you find yourself cheering for the author and hoping she does indeed get that interview she dreams about (even though you know from reading the foreword she already had).

Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The Harry Potter Books Were Just The Beginning of the Story... During the brief span of just one decade, hundreds of millions of perfectly ordinary people made history: they became the only ones who would remember what it was like when the Harry Potter saga was still unfinished. What it was like to seek out friends, families, online forums, fan fiction, and podcasts to get a fix between novels. When the potential death of a character was a hotter bet than the World Series. When the unfolding...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-02-23 Summary: for every Potter fan ... We purchased this plush as a gift for our 12 year old Potter fan and she absolutely loves it. Even her 5 year old brother loves it, especially when he pulls the tongue. It was a big hit with her friends too. In fact, we bought a second one to give as a birthday gift. It is soft and light, making it an easy travel toy. It is a nice edition to any Potter fan's collection. The one caveat ... there seems to be no way to replace the battery. A major flaw in this otherwise whimsical and charming toy. ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-01-07 Summary: Adorable stuffed toy for the Harry Potter fan ... This is a must have for the die hard Harry Potter fan. It is basically a stuffed animal but so adorable and it looks just like the monster book in the movie. I bought it for my 9 year old Harry Potter fan and she loved it.

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-11-03 Summary: Harry Potter Boxset ... I was very excited and pleased to be able to purchase this set, as I am a new Harry Potter fan.
