A Wonderful Movie

Rating: 8/10 (4 July 2002)

I am an absolute huge fan of the Harry Potter books. I was always on the edge of my seat just waiting for what would happen next. Its an addicting book, and I can't wait until the next books comes out.
I admit I was nervous to go and see the movie. I was afraid that it would be totally different from the book..and the thought of it just being horrible crept in my mind.Being a huge fan of this book, I really wanted the movie to resemble the book as much as possible. And thats exactly what it did. Chris Columbus did a wonderful job at directing the movie (as he has done in "Home Alone" and the second "Home Alone" also). And I love the fact that it shows how much time he took to make the movie like the book. He did a great job at directing! Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint have done absolutely wonderful at acting in this movie. The costumes and Diagon Alley were exactly the way I pictured it to be. The Dursleys home, Hogwarts school, the train station. Every little detail was exactly the way the author (J.K. Rowling) had described it. The cinematography was wonderful. The characters were what I pictured them too be. This turned out to be a huge success. I absolutely loved this movie, and it made me love the whole Harry Potter story even more.
John Williams did great in making the music for the movie because I think that it fit perfectly. I remember listening to the soundtrack cd and thinking of the books and I realized that the music was so magical and perfect for this movie and the book. Everything for this movie was just perfect. I loved it!
