Delightful look into a delightful film

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2001)

Harry Potter met many standards that were hard to step up to, considering the imaginative depictions that J. K. Rowling created. The film was able to meet many of those standards, becoming one of the only films to successfully portray an outstanding book. Not only was the story almost true to its form but it also was visually stunning. Plus, the cast could not have been better. To be honest, I was fearful of butchery caused by the bad acting skills that children generally provide. Thank goodness for the excellent casting director who placed Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and Tom Felton in this movie. Though they are all young they have talent beyond that of their peers. If not for the visually stunning beauty and acting alone, Harry Potter is a must-see film.
