Philosophers*

Rating: 7/10 (6 November 2018)

This was an incredibly valiant attempt to bring the books to the big screen, and in my opinion does so beautifully. The story is simply magical and "Hogwarts" is a genius invention. The movie is done well, almost perfect. It's the closest to the book they can get and it's an amazing experience for any kid. My only complaints were the child actors, which is understandable and were still young and we now they develop into great actors later on. I think the film's quality doesn't really hold up anymore and the CGI and special effects doesn't really look great. I think it was champagne casting and they really managed to stand up to the might of the books, defying everyone's expectations. It's a really enjoyable movie and especially for kids, is a magical adventure that you can watch over and over again
