TONIGHT'S MUST-SEE

"Hannah Montana," 8 p.m.; "Wizards of Waverly Place," 8:30 p.m.; "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" (2002), 9 p.m.; all Disney Channel. This is how Disney controls viewers on Fridays: It has cute teens, music, silly sight gags and then a strong family film. "Hannah" has a visit by the Jonas Brothers. They sing with Miley and write with her dad. "Wizards" has pure silliness. After Alex cheats at school by using a "pocket elf," her brothers strike. On her dream date, they use an elf to make her obsess over chocolate. The result has lots of big, smeary, chocolaty scenes, the sort kids will love and parents will abandon. The family can reunite, however, for this "Harry Potter" film. It includes a great supporting bit by Kenneth Branagh.

"The Godfather" (1972), 5 p.m., A&E. Every movie this week doesn't have to aim at Halloween. Here's the Oscar-winning Mob classic, beautifully directed by Francis Coppola.
