How kids films should be

Rating: 10/10 (12 March 2004)

At the time of this films relase it was rather fashionable to be synical about the whole Potter phenomenom..'Its a load of crap for kids' was the usual comment. I was similarly minded about Ms Rowlings creation UNTIL I was talked into going to see this film by the Mrs. From the opening scene the film took me to what it was like to be a kid again, watching the BBC fantasy series I used to love like 'the Box of Delights' and 'the Children of Greene Knowe'. The whole thing gave me a tremededous sense of wonder and excitement and was a PERFECT example of how kids film should be. it also got me to read the books
