Watch the Magic Unfold

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2007)

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the perfect film adaptation of the first Harry Potter book by J.K. Rowling. This extremely well-done movie brings all of the great characters in Harry Potter to life -- Harry himself (played by Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) and more, as Harry learns that his mother was a witch and his father, a wizard. He has his first adventures at Hogwarts, like learning how to fly a broom, playing wizard's Chess for the first time, and in a twist of fate, a battle with Professor Quirrell who, it turns out, has been harboring You-Know-Who in his very body.
