Wow!

Rating: 10/10 (24 December 2001)

I really did not want to see this movie. I hadn't read any of the books and all the hype surround Harry Potter was a big turnoff for me. However, I'm very glad I got talked into seeing it.
I loved almost everything about Harry Potter (some of the acting could have been better, but I don't think it detracted much from the finished product). The story was captivating and incredibly imaginative. The costumes and set design were wonderful. The special effects were extremely well done. The actors that played Harry, Ron, and Hermione were adorable and looked like they were naturals for their parts.
This movie captured my attention from the very beginning and held it until the closing credits. I can't wait for the next movie to be released!
