One of the best

Rating: 10/10 (10 December 2001)

Traditionally books converted to movies lose a little something in translation. I have to say that Harry Potter was one of the most faithful adaptations that I have ever seen.
Its a great children's book, and a great movie. Its exciting, has a very surprising ending, and all the characterization is wonderful.
The only petty criticism I can make, is that I found the CGI animation to be a lot cruder than the CGI used in other contemporary films, and much of it was unnecessary. But that is the barest of nitpicking.
Its a great movie, and I'm glad its such a success.
