This was probably the BEST book adaption I have seen!

Rating: 10/10 (17 November 2001)

I could NOT believe HOW good this movie was! It was so very true to the book (thank YOU Mr. Columbus and Ms. Rowling!) and the casting was SUPERB! My soon-to-be 9-year-old daughter, who has read all 4 books, did not "see" Maggie Smith as Prof. McGononagall. I did not "see" Emma Watson as Hermione. She is a FABULOUS actress, and she is very pretty. I pictured Hermione, as did my daughter, to be more "nerdy" and I have heard others thought Emma was an awfully pretty Hermione. She still did a great job!
I thought Harry and Ron were PERFECTLY cast and the chemistry between these 3 was fantastic. The special effects were great, though the Quidditch match moved a bit quickly for our liking. I still rate the movie a 10, though!!!!
