I thought it was the Philosopher's Stone!

Rating: Null/10 (25 November 2001)

Sorcerer's or Philosopher's Stone, it doesn't make any difference to the quality of the movie.
I'm a Potter fan, and I had been waiting eagerly for the movie to come out for AGES. All the reviews I read about it were positive, and "true to the book".
As true as it was, I felt somehow very disappointed. I felt that there were some parts that should have been included, but were excluded in the film. While I understand that it's difficult to cram the entire book into a 145-minute film, some of the important essences of the book - of who Harry is, of why he is so important to the wizarding world, of why Draco is so hateful, of why Voldemort is so feared - was not shown well enough. I also felt that Hagrid's closeness to the three kids in the book was not well portrayed on-screen.
And frankly, I was very suprised that the players could get away with all the fouls committed during the Quidditch match in the film!
If the film was to stand on its own, I think it is a decent job. But for those who love and had read the books from cover-to-cover and know each scene by heart, it's quite a let-down.
