Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone Movie
 Here's an event movie that holds up to being an event. This filmed version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, adapted from the wildly popular book by J.K. Rowling, stunningly brings to life Harry Potter's world of Hogwarts, the school for young witches and wizards. The greatest strength of the film comes from its faithfulness to the novel, and this new cinematic world is filled with all the details of Rowling's imagination, thanks to exuberant sets, elaborate costumes, clever makeup and visual effects, and a cr�me de la cr�me cast, including Maggie Smith, Richard Harris, Alan Rickman, and more. Especially fine is the interplay between Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his schoolmates Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione s(Emma Watson), as well as his protector, the looming Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane). The second-half adventure--involving the titular sorcerer's stone--doesn't translate perfectly from page to screen, ultimately because of the film's fidelity to the novel; this is a case of making a movie for the book's fans, as opposed to a transcending film. Writer Steve Kloves and director Chris Columbus keep the spooks in check, making this a true family film, and with its resourceful hero wide-eyed and ready, one can't wait for Harry's return. Ages 8 and up. --Doug Thomas

What people think about this Harry Potter movie:
"Some people told me not to watch this kind of movie because it has a lot of witchcraft. Well, I saw a part of the movie at a friend's house and was intrigued. I bought the DVD and to be honest, I thought it was a nice little movie full of little surprises here and there. I love the part when Harry talks to Ron for the first time in the train and they feast on the delicious & very yummy sweets. Tempting, isn't it? If only we could eat all of those candies without worrying about diabetes, our teeth, & sugar intake. Sigh!"
"Herry Potter is an extremely creative concept, and a brilliantly composed story. I have read the books, and the movies do a wonderful job of putting these masterpieces on the big screen.
If you like a really good fantasy film, see this.
Not just for little kids! :)"
"If you liked the book, then you'll LOVE the movie. Just like must book-to-movie's, some thing's are different, but not in a bad way.
Pass on this and you'll regret it!"
"What a sensational family movie! Daniel Radcliffe stars as Harry, a rather pitiful orphan, who lives with his mean aunt and uncle. On his 11th birthday, Harry discovers he is a wizard and happily leaves home for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. There, he makes his first-ever pals - classmates Ron and Hermione, and their friendship is the heart of the story. We follow the trio as they go through their first year at school attending magic classes, finding adventure, and even solving a mystery that puts Harry face-to-face with the dark wizard who killed his parents."
