Quite Funny

Rating: 9/10 (14 April 2002)

For the ones who have read the book in which this film is based this is a funny, enchanting and good movie. For the people who haven't read the novel by J.K. Rowling it may be fool and empty.
The story is about Harry, an ordinary kid who is an orphan and lives his some relatives who hate him a lot. Everything changes and he is told he is a famous wizard in another world to which he must go to start his studies on Witchcraft and then face the dangerous Lord Voldemort, who killed his parents and wants to control Hogwarts School.
Chris Columbus, who have directed quite a few movies for the whole family, did a great work when adapting the story for the cinema. It's obvious that some details brought on the novel are not included on the film, but the cinema version of Harry Potter's saga pleasing and full of magic anyway. Many things happen on the big screen just like we imagine when reading the book. Highly recommended for everybody who wants to have fun and light entertainment.
