Sorcerer's Stone is a classic

HP and the Sorcerer's Stone is the first and best! We learn about the boy, Harry, and his history living amongst muggles. The magic in this movie is all the wonderful cgi effects, and I prefer this actor's Dumbledore to his replacement (yes, I know the original actor passed away). THE HD DVD video has amazing clarity. I can watch this movie again and again! June 23, 2008

Classic Movie from the Present
Loved the book so I had to watch the movie over again. All the magic starts here and it's just the beginning to a whole new experience if you intend to see all the sequels that follow. June 23, 2008

Very faithful to the novel.
I wasn't expecting much from Hollyweird considering their track record on making books into movies.
I walked away VERY impressed.
A very faithful adaptation.
Nothing major is left out and all the characters are perfectly cast.
My favorite?
Alan Rickman as Snape.
Could he be any more perfect? No.
A must see for all Potter and non Potter fans alike. June 19, 2008

Great book-to-movie adaptation
"You're a wizard, Harry." -- Hagrid

I first saw this movie in cinemas when it came out. I had read all of the books released at the time and I thought it was a fantastic adaptation. There was great casting for Richard Harris as Dumbledore, Ian Hart as Quirrel, Maggie Smith as McGonagal, Alan Rickman as Snape, Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, Rupert Grint as Ron and Emma Watson as Hermione. The screenplay was beautifully written by Steve Kloves. J.K. Rowling must be proud. Colombus did fantastic work as a director too. May 24, 2008

M A G I C al film
This first Harry Potter film is the best to date. Chris Columbus stayed true to the book and gave us a clean, golden image of Hogwarts and the rest of Harry's new found world of magic. (From the third film on the image is old, in ruins, dark, dirty and untidy and far from the actual books. How can the 7th book be filmed when everything and everyone important to the plot and ending has been left out?) Enjoy this first film and fill your mind with the true image of the books.
