Fun movie with nice special effects

Rating: 7/10 (12 December 2002)

First, I was a little suspicious about the hole Harry Potter hype that was going on. I was one of the few persons in the world I guess that didn't read the book. This way I could look at the movie without comparing it to the book, and what a surprise it was.
The movie has a good storyline, great special effects and a nice, non-expectable twist (If you haven't read the book that is).
Harry lives with his evil aunt and uncle and gets invited to come to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There he learns that he is a very special wizard. At school he makes some new friends and they join Harry in his first adventure, involving the Sorcerer's Stone.
There are some scenes that could have been better, but all in all it's a fun and enjoyable movie to watch.
