Excellent film that really captures J.k.Rowlings imagination

Rating: 8/10 (10 August 2002)

This Film is Brilliant, I didn't go the the cinema to see this film instead I rented it out, now I regret that and would Love to experience this film in the Cinema atmosphere. I saw the film before I read the book, I bought all the books right after watching the first installment of Harry's adventures and Read them all within a week. I fell in Love with Hogwarts and If It was a real place I would Love to live there. When The chamber of Secrets is released I am going to the cinema to see it and not waiting til rental. The story starts with Harry as a Baby being left on the doorstep of his Aunt and Uncle's house, It then jumps to 10 yrs later and Harry is living in a cupboard under the stairs. He is treated like a servent and waits on his Aunt Petunia, Uncle Veron and there spoilt son Dudley. Harry has no idea who he really is, even though he sometimes does things he can not explain, it never crosses his mind that he is different from his relatives. Then he starts recieving mail from a Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft and Wizardry, he never gets to open the letter because his Uncle Veron keeps taking them off him. Owls arrive every day delivering the Letters and It gets so bad that They decide to go away where no one can find them, Or so they thought!!. On Harry's 11 Birthday a Giant of a Man named Hagrid arrives at he location they thought was safe and explains to Harry that he is a WIZARD!! and that his parents didn't die in a car crash ( which is the story his Aunt and Uncle told him ). He then goes to London with Hagrid and goes to the Magicail shopping area for Witches and Wizards, Diagon Alley, There he buys his school supplies which include a Wand, Cauldron and a Owl. He then has to catch the Hogwarts express on Platform Nine and three-quarters, While trying to find his way to the Platform he meets Ron Weasley another First year at Hogwarts and they strike a friendship straight away. They meet Hermione Granger another first year a intelligent girl who repairs Harry's glasses on the train when she is looking for Nevielle Longbottom's pet toad Trevor. I won't say any more for I don't want to give away the whole story, If You want to know any More just rent the Film. A must see film!!
