'Harry Potter and the Sorcers Stone'
The action, adventure, and of course magic of "Harry Potter" is back. And this time it's unlocking ancient evils in "The Chamber of Secrets."
Millions of muggles, that's non-magic folk, are counting the days until the second "Potter" picture hits theaters. But wait no longer. Only "extra" has the first words from the cast. Daniel Radcliffe says, "The second film has proved to be much more of a challenge."
The boy wizard himself and wand-waving pals Rupert Grint and Emma Watson have conjured-up some new co-stars this go round. Kenneth Branagh appears as smarmy defense against the dark arts teacher, Gilderoy Lockhart. Watson says, "Hermione is seriously dreamy about Lockhart. He's basically the Brad Pitt of her day."
And there's a new heavy giving Harry a hard time; Lucius Malfoy, played by Jason Isaacs. He says of his character, "He's completely supreme in his arrogance and ruthlessness."
Daniel and company plan to stick around. They've already signed to shoot the third film, and Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore, better known as Richard Harris, says the young stars are having the time of their lives. Radcliffe says, "I am so lucky."
