If i had a third hand, three thumbs up!

Rating: 10/10 (19 December 2007)

Warner Brother's depiction of Harry potter and the Sorcerer's stone passes the test! As anticipation built up for its debut in theatres, J.K Rowling's brilliant series was about to be loved by more than just its loyal readers. Now, everything entertaining and enjoyable about Harry Potter is accessible to viewers too. Eager fans and intrigued new ones all flooded movie theatres to get in on the new buzz! There were several scenes from the original book left out, but I wouldn't hold that against the producers as it probably conflicted with time issues. Either way, I thought the movie was a nice visual tribute to the book, despite the forever-present argument that movies don't do books must justice. After all, the fact that every kid in America knows who Harry Potter is is a true testament to its success. One thing in particular that I was highly fond of was the legitimacy of the characters emotions. For how fairy-tale like the story is, the movie did a really good job at avoiding cheesy lines accompanied by bad acting. In fact, the acting was so good I could make a real connection to the character's feelings. This movie is definitely worth seeing, 10 out of 10.
