Great Movie, but not for all ages...

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2001)

Harry Potter is by far the largest craze in the history of fiction. There is not a person on this Earth over the age of 5 who does not know what a muggle is or what a Fizzing Whizbee is. Well, maybe a few, but they all know the name 'Harry Potter.'
I am 14 years of age, and yet I cannot say enough how obsessed I am with the craze. Now in high school, its not cool for me to say that, but I still could hardly wait for November 16.
I saw the movie yesterday at 4 pm, and actually the crowd in the theatre was a wee bit disappointing. It wa not sold out, yet I purchased my tickets (4) two weeks prior. Oh, well.
As I said in my one-sentence synopsis, 'Harry Potter And The Sorcerors's Stone/Philosopher's Stone' is not for young children. Not only does Draco Malfoy say "ass," but some scenes even made me flinch. There is a part of the movie where you see He-Who-Is-Not-To-Be-Named, and he is somewhat disturbing. Also, Fluffy was very loud, and mildly frightening to my friends. Now imagine taking your 7 year old. Not a prime choice. Try next door, at 'Max Keeble's Big Move.'
I gave the movie a '10,' because it was outstandingly (if that's a word) created. The quidditch scene, not giving anything away, was fantastic, and I would be surprised to hear that they worked on it any less than 5 months of the entire movie-making process. Something to look forward to...
Lastly, congratulations to J.K. Rowling on all of her success, and keep writing (By the way, I wouldn't mind finding out about Harry's future, just a hint...).
