good beginning

Rating: 7/10 (23 November 2001)

this was a good beginning to the series, apparently meant to introduce the characters rather than tell a story. all ingredients are present for the next one to be great, as long as it has a better story.
the sets were phenomenal. i loved the castle! and the supporting older cast was terrific. i love the guy who played professor snape (?). he has great facial expressions.
