Great Children's Movie

Rating: Null/10 (29 May 2002)

It seems that movie industry has lost its ability to produce such rare children movies that adults can enjoy as well. I have never read a "Harry Potter" novel, nor have my two sons. We sat down and watched this movie on DVD. The movie reminded me of my old favorites such as "Willy Wonka", "Dr. Dolittle", and many others. My sister is one of those who criticized this film based on the fact that it deals with witchcraft. I think people like that need to be more open to the fact that this is "fantasy" and not one those action movies that the hero is the man with the highest body-count. Many people find fault with any movie. I see this one will be a classic and its sequels will do as well, if Harry Potter can keep the formula the same (excuse the pun).
