The start of a great series

Rating: 7/10 (28 December 2005)

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the start of the Harry Potter movie series- which is an excellent series, by the way! This one starts Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, a young orphan boy, living with his grandparents. He discovers that he is a wizard, and is being sent to Hogwarts: School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. His grandparents are reluctant to send him, but luckily, Hagrid comes and takes Harry to his new school. Unfourtunatley, Voldemort (He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named) the man who killed Harry's parents is lurking about the school, searching for Harry.
Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone makes a solid fantasy movie, but it seems to have a few clichés. And, it seems to be pretty simple and undeserving of a higher, for an odd reason, I cannot think of at the moment. I guess it just seems to un-imaginative. Magic and fantasy creatures don't immediately make a movie look imaginative.
Harry Potter is the start of a fantastic series, but easily the 'lightest.' The other ones are a lot darker, which is why I like them better.
7/10 (recommended)
