The start of the franchise

Rating: 6/10 (23 December 2003)

The first outing of the Harry Potter franchise. I've not read any of the Harry Potter books and whilst this is undoubtedly targeted at the childrens market there's still plenty of entertainment on offer.
The first film introduces us to the cast. Harry Potter has survived Voldemort's attempt to kill him as a child and is quite a celebrity. He befriends Ron and Hermione as he goes to Hogwarts for the first term. A nice opening film and a good introduction to the franchise.
