An excellent way to start a legendary series!

Rating: 10/10 (15 July 2007)

This movie was so great, it was one of the few movies entirely faithful to the book. The effects were OK, but only to be surpassed by the other Harry Potters.
Great actors to play the trio, teachers and Dursleys. Highly recommended to be seen. At the end, the chess battle was amazing. When Quirrel was revealed to be Voldemort, I got shivers! Emma Watson was very a good choice. Robbie Coltrane was a PERFECT Hagrid. The flashback to when You-Know-Who killed Lily and James, I was shocked. A great way start of this franchise! Highly believable was the magic coming out of the wands; as well as the effects. Though, the one thing greatly missed was Snape's protection of the Stone.
