What can I say? Utter magic!

Rating: 10/10 (11 November 2001)

Wow! Harry Potter and the Philosopher's stone really is the movie of the year! The vivid colours and breathtaking scenery in and around Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are utterly breathtaking.

Some points of the film, however, were not quite conveyed as I would have hoped. There were a number of places where events from the book were omitted. This was to be expected, though, as was not too much of a disappointment. The only real gripe I would have would be that some scenes were not accurate reflections of the book. Some scenes were also changed from the book, and some were totally original!
Overall, though, the film was excellent! A must see for children and adults alike!
