A Delightful Film

Rating: 9/10 (26 June 2003)

Harry Potter And the Sorcerer's Stone is a delight. When a strange visitor shows up on Harry Potter's eleventh, birthday, he learns that he is a wizard and that there's a place waiting for him at Hogwarts School of Magic. He soon learns of a world that he didn't know existed and makes friends with other children like him. He also learns that he is a very special young man indeed while displaying kindness and decency all along the way.
This is a delightful film. It' beautifully put together and has magical (no pun intended!) touches throughout. How wonderful it is to see the three main characters come to realize the importance of friendship. I love their innocence and youthful integrity. It is superbly edited and the people who put this movie together knew how to use special effects in a movie without letting them get in the way of the story or characters. Bravo! This movie has a special aura about that not many movies are able to attain. I'd rate it a 91/100. It's a must see for any movie buff.
