The Letter Owl

Rating: 8/10 (22 July 2007)

I never read the Harry Potter book series but I have watched the four movies, and I still plan to watch the others. But I would like to review this one. This is one out of the two films that Richard Harris played Albus Dumbledore.
Harry Potter just turned eleven years old and he is receiving letters stating that he has been accepted to Hogwarts, but Uncle Vernon keeps burning them, and throwing them away. Harry is also having owls around his house during the day which is quite odd because they usually wonder around at night. At one point Uncle Vernon gets so sick that he closes the mailbox shoot, or whatever you call it so no mail can come in. Suddenly, hundreds and thousands of letters accepting Harry to the school comes flying in through the chimney and the mailshoot. Harry grabs one and attempts to run to his room but Uncle Vernon grabs him and stops him from reading the letter. Uncle Vernon decides to move far away where no one can mail him.
He decides to go to a small island in a small house while Harry Potter sleeps on the cold, hard cement floors with a cover writing "Happy Birthday Harry" with his fingers on the sand. He says, "Makes a Wish, Harry" and blows. Suddenly, a large man you will know as Hagrid barges in looking for Harry. He finds Harry, at first he thought Dudley was Harry but then he found out Harry was Harry. He is sent somewhere to shop for items and an owl and wand.
There begins the adventure for Harry Potter. The rest is for you to find out.
I recommend this movie for if you had read book one of Harry Potter, or if you just want to see it.
