True to the fabulous book that inspired it.

Rating: 10/10 (29 January 2002)

Harry Potter has captured my imagination and taken it places I've not thought possible. The movie was pleasant to look at, with gorgeous scenery and eye-popping special effects. I was shocked to see that 'Harry' hadn't cracked the top 50 fantasy movies. Judging by the numbers, I'm in the minority, but if I compare this series to the Lord of the Rings, there is no contest in my opinion. Harry takes the day. The Lord of the Rings would be a three-hour nap for me. Perhaps I dislike it because I had to read 'Rings' in school, although I had to read `The Adventures of Tom Sawyer' and became a huge life-long Mark Twain fan.
The movie is true to J.K. Rowling's wonderful book, and I, for one, cannot wait until the next installment!
