First sentence: IT WAS LOGICAL for the producers to select Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone as the first of J.K. Rowling's books to make into a movie, for it is the first of the novels and the one in which we are introduced to Harry as a baby, a foundling, actually, around whose delivery to his foster home occur several portentous and supernatural happenings.
