Good Movie For Fans Of Potter

Rating: 7/10 (30 December 2001)

Harry Potter's first big screen debut was one of the most waited-for movies besides Episode I. Now that it has come and gone I can safely say that it IS a good movie, not great, but still good. Acting was fair. Being true to Rowling's awesome book was pretty good also. But some people that have never read the book(s) might have a hard time following the movies choppy flow, which is okay at times, but at others it skips parts that should have stayed to help further explain the story, but other than that the movie is very well executed. I mean, how in the world are you going to fit this huge, classic book into a movie? You do have to leave out some of it, or else the movie would be five hours long! Overall: 8 out of 10
