Wonderful adaptation of the book

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2001)

It's hard to get away from one of THE hypes of 2001 and having read the book last summer and having liked it quite a bit I decided to go see the movie, although knowing that a film adaptation hardly is of the same standard as the book.
But not this time. Harry Potter is funny, very well acted, has great cinematography and some wicked special effects which make parts of the book look even better on screen as show for instance the wonderful Quidditch-scene and the scene in which Harry, Hermoine and Ron have to win in chess to get to the next room. For Potterfans an abolute treat but a great movie all in all and very well worth the watch. 8/10
