i gotta ask:
was this one another fan submitted script?
I hate to be a jerk but it really fell flat with me which is a shame since I enjoyed the first Harry Potter riff thoroughly. This one, however, just solidified my belief that I shouldn't watch the riff if the movie doesn't take itself too seriously. I mean, where can you take a movie that's about child witches and elf slaves? The premise is already so absurd that it doesnt really lend itself to anything more than boing noises and banter between Mike, Kevin, and Bill.
I think this one goes down with Batman and Robin as one of my least favorite riffs.
I dont know, maybe I'm wrong but hopefully someone will see this as constructive. I have high hopes for Momento since it's already a pile of garbage and it takes itself SOOO seriously.

I liked this one better then the first Harry Potter riff, I would place this up near the top. I guess everyone just has different tastes. The last 50 minutes had me laughing pretty hard.  A lot of funny lines, and some great call back references to some old MST3K favorites.  I highly recommend this one! Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to go back to cheering  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:  :clap:

I guess I'll give it another watch. People seemed to love it and I'm pretty curious to find out why I didn't get it.  ???

I thought the first Harry Potter one was alright, but it had a lot of down-time. This one, alternately, I loved from beginning to end. I think it's actually my favorite one at this point, it was great. It gets a 10 from me, no doubt.

Did have some technical issues, though (not so much the occasional drift, but it actually started to repeat itself at one point. Got it figured out, but t was very strange. I think my file's a bit corrupted, I may need to re-download it).

I had watched Wizard People, Dear Readers the day before the Chamber of Secrets RiffTrax and I honestly thought it was funnier. This Trax was certainly among the better lot, but it wasn't as good as the first Harry Potter and certainly doesn't crystallize itself as a "classic" in my mind like the Star Wars Holiday Special, Spider-Man 3, or Nestor.

7 / 10

The first Harry Potter riff was good, but forgettable. This one had me rolling for the whole 2 and a half hours. I don't pass out 10s lightly, but this was a solid 10.

oh my gosh, I thought this one might be overhyped for me, but I LOVED it. Especially the mudblood jokes. 10/10

Wow... I'm not sure why this one rubbed me so differently than everyone else. I thought it was one of the worst yet; only slightly better than batman and robin. The jokes on this one just weren't funny to me.

We just watched this one. We thought the trax was really solid (I'm giving it an 8 ) though the movie seemed like it would NEVER end!

Strong 9! I really like the way they have been riffing the Harry Potter movies. This one had some good riffs.

I raise my eyebrow at you, sir.

I liked the first Harry Potter riff, but this one was even better!  Just when I was calming down from one bout of laughter, I was launched into another one.  I especially liked all of the riffs about mudbloods and Ron's murder of Lockhart.  It's a definite 10*s from me!   ;D

I thoroughly enjoyed the Philosopher's Stone, but felt the Chamber of Secrets was a bit weak. There were some *very* clever moments (particularly the "everybody must do the death march cheer" ending) but seriously - Rosie O'Donnell jokes are *boring*. They are *predictable*. They sound like you wrote them in your sleep.

Rosie O'Donnell jokes are to Rifftrax what Harrison Ford's performance is to Firewall.

You guys are better than that.

Extremely funny I give it a 10. I usually don't like the long ones as well but this one is the exception.
