The child actors who appeared somewhat dazed in the first film seem more alive and relaxed now - especially 12-year-old Emma Watson as the know-it-all little witch Hermione Granger. In Chamber of Secrets, the romance between Hermione and Ron begins to blossom - but just slightly. The set itself was more randy, and hormones sometimes...
