These days, the Harry Potter franchise is not the feel-good escape from reality it used to be, as many fans now can’t get lost in the fantasy of the Wizarding World without thinking of J.K. Rowling’s transphobic Twitter rants. So maybe it shouldn’t come as a surprise that streaming audiences, at least those not determined to boycott the HP universe at all costs, are revisiting one of the series’ finest entries in a bid to recapture a bit of the old magic.
Fans’ mileage on the later films in the eight-film saga may vary, but it’s a universally held truth in the Potter fandom that the first two movies are gold, thanks to the charm and panache brought to the (Hogwarts Great Hall) table by director Chris Columbus. Not to mention composer John Williams at the height of his powers. So naturally, after Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone already climbed the charts earlier this week, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets has now joined it in flying up the rankings.
