Not just a live action version of the book

Rating: 10/10 (5 December 2001)

I remember when it was first released that there would be a movie and the millions of fans started asking questions like: who will play Harry and who will play Hagrid. Then people started thinking that there was no way the movie could be as good as the book and were sure Chris Columbus would screw it up. When the film finally came out people went expecting to see a bad movie made simply to make money from all the fans. But it was so much more than that the movie would be popular even without the popularity of the book it is good in it's own right and Daniel Radcliff was perfect for the part of Harry.
