A sad excuse for a children's movie.

Rating: 6/10 (11 January 2002)

Lacking any real magic, Harry Potter was a lifeless film, composed of a plotless story and forgettable performances. While watching the Neverending Story last night, a true children's classic, it really hit me how wonderful a movie Harry Potter could have been if only they'd been willing to deviate from the book for a second.
I give this long, convoluted mess 1 out of 10.
