Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Rating: Null/10 (22 May 2003)

The family fantasy adventure based on J.K. Rowling's popular novel sees the idea that books can be made into faithful adaptations.
The story is that Harry Potter(Daniel Radcliff), who lives with his nasty Uncle, Aunt and cousin finds that he is the son of a powerful witch and wizard. He is then taken to Hogwart's(a school to train in magical arts)and with the help of his friends, battles against the evil Professor Snape(played by the excellent Alan Rickman who is unfortunately under used greatly).
It's a family film that is enchanting, thrilling and shows a really good cast(Richard Harris, Maggie Smith, John Hurt)with the idea that there are more films to come along. ****
