it's the actors that stand out!

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2002)

first of all, a warm of applause for Christ Columbus for trying his very best to be faithful as possible to the book.
Now for the comments: I understood that it is obvious that some scenes might be cut or added on the movie if it's a book. There were several characters, scenes and minor whatsits not included in the film. For example is the Potions scene where Hermione amazingly answer the logic riddle. Peeves, an important character to take part of the mischief of Harry Potter. and who knows what else. I've only seen it once, but I'm pretty sure there are more scenes missing.
But the best part of this film is the actors. Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are brilliant and perfect to fit their parts. They are all adorable and they hold their characters with pride! Same goes with the other characters of the film, (I'm getting tired of typing their names, so sorry!) they are all wonderful!
All in all, I'd still give this movie a 9.5/10. yes, there were slight "imperfections" and others but I enjoyed the movie. seeing it FINALLY on the big screen (after months and months of anticipation), having full view of the Quidditch scene (yeah!), and experiencing the real magic. Although my imagination as I read books will never fade, it's nice to see a close-enough adaptation of a wonderful book. Cheers!!
