The Spiderwick Chronicles might be a good choice for Harry Potter fans

spiderwick.pngNeed something to tide you over until Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince comes out on film? You might want to give “The Spiderwick Chronicles” a try. Here’s what the Movie Review had to say:

They’ve tried, hard —- “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” “The Golden Compass,” “Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events,” among others. Of those three, “The Lion” did well, “Compass” fared better overseas, and “Snicket” sank like a stone.

But now they’ve tried again —- and won, if not the gold prize, than at least the silver.

The new “The Spiderwick Chronicles,” which opens today, is based on a recent young-adult series, but it has older roots, some going back to Victorian England. It’s a story about young children, true, particularly teens and tweens squabbling with each other and their mother. But it’s also about the Little People —- hobgoblins, brownies and fairies.

Here’s the trailer:
