I hate people who are nasty about the movie just because of the book.

Rating: 10/10 (13 December 2003)

The Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Hey, I'm from England)movie was brilliant. I watched that before I read the books and I loved it. So many people make cruel comments about the fact that it didn't live up to the book but that really isn't the point is it? It was there to be enjoyed and on the whole, it was. You can't expect a movie of this magnitude to be made without some things being cut out. If the whole book was made into a movie, with every detail intact, it would last for a good 3 hours and while I can sit that long, many children can't. In my eyes, the books and the movies are separate things with the same names and I love them equally.
