Worth the wait

Rating: 9/10 (19 November 2001)

I have eagerly awaiting the arrival of the Harry Potter movie ever since I took the time to read the books this past summer. I went to see the film Saturday afternoon with probably one hundred other people like myself and I can honestly say I left the theater feeling satisfied. Everything worth noting from the book was included in the movie, the casting and special effects were superb, and I felt as though I was being exposed to Harry Potter's world for the first time all over again. I was really skeptical on how Chris Columbus would do, but now I can't imagine any other film by any other director. I gave the movie a 10 because my feelings about this movie are on the same level as Wizard of Oz or E.T.; I can see myself watching this movie 10 years from now and enjoying every minute.
