I didn't expect it to be this good.

Rating: Null/10 (17 November 2002)

I used to be absolutely apathetic to the Harry Potter craze. I thought it was just a story that appeals only to kids. I was wrong. I'm going to read the books as soon as I finish the Lord of the Rings.
The acting was really good, especially since the cast consisted mostly of kids who have never been in movies before this one. Richard Harris was great as usual. I was also surprised to see one of my favorite vertically challenged entertainers, Warwick Davis in this movie.
The music was composed by John Williams. 'Nuff said.
Little did I know when I saw this movie that it contained the Fantasy themes that I have grown to love in Willow, the Legend of Zelda, and Final Fantasy series. I believe Harry Potter was even made into an RPG, which was one of the reasons I decided to see this movie.
This movie will not disappoint fans of the Fantasy genre. Even though kids crowded the movie theaters to see this movie, it will entertain people of all ages. They say the book is always better than the movie. The movie was great, so I can't wait to read the book. 10/10.
