"Pirates"' Captain Jack captured the top spot for favorite male movie-related costume, but Spider-Man, Dracula, Batman and Harry Potter were not far behind. Interestingly, "Star Wars" protagonist Luke Skywalker did not crack the Top Ten, whereas nemesis Darth Vader did make the cut.

Chris Columbus is certainly doing well as the Potter films' director, and it will be a shame to see him replaced on the next installment, but he does exercise some of his more mundane habits in this film. Primarily this means formula, formula, formula. Columbus is a formula director, the whitest slice of vanilla white bread you can get short of a Mormon. As a result, the pacing of the film, the sequence of events, the camera movement and lighting are all virtually identical to the first film. This is not a direct result of the source material, either; it's just the way Columbus works best, in a safe and calculated environment. It's not a slight against the film, but viewers of the first will find the surprises are well-telegraphed, and the build up to the climax is clearly identical to the first film.

Not too fond of Dan's desperation to leave behind his Potter image but he's a man and this is making him more popular than he was before. I've heard the WB contemplating firing him and I wouldn't mind because I don't think he's a good actor but he's been Harry for the past 5 movies and it would just be weird to see someone else, even if Dan now has little respect for the role.
