Excellent

Rating: 10/10 (24 January 2003)

When the movie first came out, I was hesitant about seeing it because I was so enamored of the J.K. Rowling book. Therefore, I avoided it at the theater. When I finally bought the DVD I was sorry I hadn't seen it at the theater as I found that the movie was a truly worthy adaptation of the book.
Special effects were wonderful and the acting was outstanding, even by the youngsters in the cast. The film managed to capture the fun and magical spirit of the book admirably. I look forward to seeing the sequels if they can maintain this quality.
Well worth seeing.
