The first Potter film is a spectacle worth seeing.

Rating: 8/10 (23 July 2011)

I have watched Harry Potter and its stars grow from adolescence to adulthood. This is the beginning of the journey. And I would say that Potter got off to a good start. The Sorcerer's Stone is full of neat visuals and charming characters. Though I have never read the novel, I can tell from this adaptation that it is a pleasant read. The young actors are also excellent here, unlike most child actors who rely solely on their age in order to give them the passing grade. It is a fun, yet flawed adventure bound to please young and old alike with its magical charms and a keen sense of adventure, wonder, mystery, and of course magic.
