Summary: More energy than a tub of dead fish
Review: I think this movie sucked. I'm a fan of the books, and I say Mr. Columbus worried too much about being too faithfull. It had no life of it's own. One example; John Hurt is normally a good character on screen, and he should have been in this, also, especially as the fun character that the wand-seller in the book was. He wasn't. It was one of the most boring scenes in the movie. I only give it two stars because of the Quidditch match.
Thanks Chris, for putting Harry Potter images into my head which are far less stimulating than my own imagination.

Summary: The Best Movie of 2001!
Review: If I had to chose one reason for why this movie was so good, it would be because of the acting. The acting was excellent. All the actors and actresses played their roles exceptionally well. For the children, I especially liked Hermione, Harry, and Ron. Hermione's bossy personality led to a few laughs and the way that all three interacted together throughout the movie was simply brilliant. For the adults, Hagrid was among my favorites. He was funny because he would sometimes let important information slip so that the trio could solve the mystery of the Sorcerer's Stone. Snape was another favorite of mine. I definitely wouldn't want a teacher like him, but it was humerous how he treats Harry and is always taking points away from Gryffindor for any reason that he can think of. Finally, Mr. Filch was also great in this movie. His expressions and ideas on proper punishments, when talking to Hagrid in the dentention scene, are just excellent. I felt that the movie stuck pretty close to the book. If it included everything, the movie would be much longer (I wouldn't have mined myself though *hehe*). I will agree that there were a few parts that were wrong... such as the using light for Devil's Snare when its supposed to be fire... and the picture book of Harry and his family showing a boy much older than Harry was supposed to be... and James Potter (Harry's Dad) being a Seeker instead of a Chaser... but nonetheless I still think the movie deserves 5 stars! It was great, go see it and buy it on DVD :)

Summary: Good v/s Evil
Review: There had been a lot of talk over this movie. My son has read the first 4 novels and we have seen the movie. It does have magic in it but it is good v/s evil. And good wins. I do not beleive this movie is "of the devil" as I had been told. We are a Christian family. This is a wonderful story in a make beleive world. Just like Peter Pan. It's a fairy tale. Think back to all the tale's told when we were kids, they all have magic in them. Why do people get so upset over this movie? It's just "modern day" fairy tale.

Summary: Great Movie, Rubbish Title
Review: This was a great movie, and as far as i'm concerned a faithful adaptation of the book.But why do the americans have to go and change the title? To the whole world (except the US), the book (and movie) is called "Harry potter and the philosopher's stone". Do they not know what a philosopher is?

Summary: Oh well...
Review: There are too many problems with the movie. Adding to this, the film is based upon the worst book of the series so far. What one could expect? Well, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is an attempt of adapting the brilliant writing of JK Rowling this, however, is not accomplished. Some storylines which make perfect sense in the book, in the movie stays a feeling of a badly glued mix up of scenes having only in common Harry. Hagrid's Dragon for instance is one of these badly glued storylines, I would rather if they didn't spoke of it at all!! The meeting with Malfoy is undescribable... there's no sense at all in everything... why would Malfoy go to their compartment? In the book everything is different of course. All in all and without continuing this incessant ranting, I will give 2 stars out of five to the movie just in honour of the very good acting of "Hermione" and "Professor McGonagall"; The lack of stars are totally due to the somewhat naive attempt of putting everything of the book in a movie which gets too long too early. I hope that this movie will be, as the book is, the worst of the series.

Summary: Great movie
Review: Ok let's get down to the movie it did well and left some stuff out but heck if they didn't cut some scenes the film might have been 4 hours long which no child or parant would want to sit through. So they cut some scenes from the book and the ending was kinda diffrent but other then that this movie is the BEST!!!

Summary: Not for us over 18
Review: Im 18 and after reading the books and seeing the first movie I said I would not see any of the other movies which is a lie.
But I think they choose a kiddy director you know he did Miss. Doubtfire and Home Alone. I think Steven Spilberg made a good choice not to do this film. But I do hope he does the third movie as he said three and four are the ones he is interested in. I know this is a movie targeted for kids but I think they should go for all audiences. Some people will lie and say its just like the book and they are little kids who dont know any better.

Summary: BEST MOVIE EVER!
Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was by far the most astounding movie I have ever seen. I don't know what people are talking about when they say it was the worst movie ever. It was BLOODY BRILLIANT! With J.K. Rowling's brilliant imagination, an award winning cast, and some great special affects, it is with no question that Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the best movie of the year!

Summary: Family movie of the year
Review: I think Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the best family movie and the best fantasy movie. This movie was BLOODY BRILLIANT!! It might have some parts missing, but if they made the movie without any parts missing it would be a day long. You should go see the movie. I liked it so much that I am going to buy the DVD or VHS. The movie has great visual effects. It has great cast and a great director.I am glad that Chris Columbus picked Rupert Grint to play the role of Ronald Weasly and Daniel Radcliffe to play the role of Harry Potter because I think Rupert Grint and Daniel Radcliff are cute. The actors/actresses were great. I think the Quiditch scene was great. Chris Columbus should make at least 3 movies of Harry Potter. J.K. Rowling is the best author and Chris Columbus is the best director.
