    It was an ok start but was it good? No Was it bad? No It was just okay, the world building was good and so was the character development but the story was lackluster.

    Better on the big screen, loved being able to see this in theaters for the first time, as I was too young and not yet a fan of the series when it was originally released.

    Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a good introduction film to the franchise. However, for being a film based on magic, I feel that there was very minimal magic that was actually used in the film. This doesn't mean that there wasn't any magic used whatsoever, just not a lot. With that being said, this film is a for sure must watch.

    Well then, we have Harry Potter, one of Britain's favorite books and films. One of them which got popularity throughout the years and many kids and my friends have seen them when they're in school and only wished they would visit the Warner Bros world to see Hogwarts School to see some amazing stuff. Just like I reviewed the Fantastic Beast trilogy, I thought had my dream come true by doing one of those Harry Potter films since I've thinking about doing them for a while. The professors at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall played by Richard Harris and Maggie Smith, along with groundskeeper Rubeus Hagrid played by Robbie Coltrane, had come to deliver an orphaned infant wizard named Harry Potter played by Daniel Ratcliffe, to his Muggle aunt and uncle. Years later, just before his eleventh birthday, owls begin delivering letters addressed to him. When the abusive Dursleys adamantly refuse to allow Harry to open any and flee to an island hut, Hagrid arrives to personally deliver Harry's letter of acceptance to Hogwarts. At King's Cross station, Harry boards the Hogwarts Express train, and meets fellow students Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger played by Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, during the journey. Arriving at Hogwarts, Harry also meets Draco Malfoy, whom the two immediately form a rivalry. The students assemble in the Great Hall where the Sorting Hat sorts the first-years into four respective houses such as Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Harry is placed into Gryffindor alongside Ron and Hermione, while Draco is placed into Slytherin. And now the school sessions begins trouble is brewing. I remember getting into Harry Potter as a kid since that I'm not the only one who is. Of course many people recognise the actors who played the teachers, of course everybody remembers Richard Harris as Professor Dumbledore who is the greatest headmaster and and powerful wizards of all time. "Silence!" Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid is such a lovable character. He just has all the charm like any character has ever got. We have everyone's favorite actor, Alan Rickman as Professor Severus Snape who is the head of Slytherin and everyone's greatest teacher of Hogwarts. And then we have Dame Maggie Smith as Professor McGonagall who is the Headmistress, the head of Gryffindor and transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts. You can only see bits of John Cleese as Nearly Headless Nick including David Bradley as Argus Filch and John Hurt only has one scene in it. Yep, that's all the actors that every single person in the world remembers including the main actors who are kids at the time. They'll be seeing more whilst I mention in the later reviews of Harry Potter. Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is just your brilliantly good film to start off the franchise that everyone remembers and bring the nostalgic feel to it even if if feels like you're at school as well. I really do love the music by John Williams known for his work on Jaws, Star Wars, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Superman, Indiana Jones, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Jurassic Park and many more you can ever think of. I did like the visual effects even though they do seem a bit outdated but when you look at it you'll know what I mean but what can I say, this is made in the early 2000's. What a way to start off a movie franchise that everybody loves including myself. I love this film and I can't wait to do some more reviews in these. With that being said, I love Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and many more reviews are coming up soon so be ready.

    After watching Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, I only have amazing things to say about it! This is the first time I had ever read or watched anything to do with Harry Potter and it was phenomenal. Even though it was two hours and thirty minutes long, and having a very small attention span, it grabbed my attention and it never let go. This movie never let me get bored with all of the plot twists and plot thickening moments. In this movie it starts out with Harry (Protagonist) living in a closet under the stairs, with his Aunt and Uncle. His life was not fulfilled, he was treated terribly and was an afterthought. Harry was a special boy, he learns that he was born a wizard. He unfortunately does not have his mom and dad to be around because they died tragically. Soon after Hagrid (Wizard) showed up and hand delivered an invitation to Hogwarts after many failed attempts. Harry quickly accepted and was on his way. After a bit of trial and error he got onto the train and met Ron Weasley (Best Friend). Ron is also a new wizard and first time student to Hogwarts, however a lot of his brothers go to Hogwarts so he is familiar with most terms. Soon after Harry and Ron were introduced to Hermoine Granger (Soon To Be Best Friend). Hermoine also was new to Hogwarts. She has a lot of sass and it seems as though her family life is alright and that they are very supportive of her. They get to Hogwarts, and are sorted into houses. Hermoine, Harry, and Ron all get into the same house. After lots of battles and conquering, and a pretty wicked Quidditch game, they go on their trek to protect the Sorcerer's Stone from He Who Shall Not Be Named (Voldemort). Overall this movie had flawless production every character had amazing chemistry together and the movie kept me on the edge of my seat. I would recommend that everyone at least once in their lifetime give this movie a good watch.
