The second movie.
Richard Harris still as Dumbledore.
The amazing thing about this series is how they could pick the kids before filming and somehow get the choice right for the next 9 years of filming.
The ensemble dynamic between the kids stands out in this movie, especially the three - Harry, Hermione and Ron.
Then there are the British adult actors having a ball with their characters (Alan Rickman stealing virtually every scene he can!).
The special efects even better than in one - I particularly enjoyed the CGI Dobby (house elf) and Fawkes the phoenix.
The John Williams soundtrack is sublime - character, dynamics, drama, satisfaction.
With each movie the tone darkens a shade or two - this one still has a bit of youthful humour to it, but the Prisoner of Azkaban will wipe that away...
10/10.
