Loved the Movie

Rating: 10/10 (14 January 2003)

It seems that some that had the fortune to read the Harry Potter books before seeing the movie (I am not one of them), did not like the movie much even though they kept to the book very well.
I loved the movie, and was very happy that they introduced the characters in the first of a possible 7 movie series (Chris Columbus mentioned 7 movies on the Sorcerer's Stone extras). With that many coming out, why not introduce the characters in the first movie.
I read the book after seeing the movie and saw that they not only stuck to the book, they put in most of the parts I liked (except the color flames at the end).
I enjoyed the second movie (chamber of Secrets) even more, yet I have not read the book. And look forward to the rest of the books to come to life.

I for one and am sure many others that feel the same way, it is nice to see the Harry Potter books come to life, and the Actors that were chosen to play the characters were perfect.
Chris Columbus is a great Director/Producer. He has made many other movies that I own and enjoyed and was great to see him do this movie.
Good Job Everyone!!
