A very well put together attempt to encompass the JK Rowlings Book.

Rating: 7/10 (11 December 2001)

Overall, the film is very impressive, working well as a tribute to the book, without compromising on it's entertainment value as a film.
However, my one gripe with the film, was the actors playing the leads. I realise it must be hard to find child actors who fit specific physical descriptions, such as the detailed one about Harry Potter laid down in the books, but the ones that they found were certainly less than impressive. Wooden at best and hamstrung at their worst.
Other than that, very enjoyable.
