Summary: Excellent and enchanting, if just a tiny bit omissive
Review: My friends and I (recent college graduates, mind you) went to see this when it came out, and all of us, from the cloudy-minded dreamer like myself to the practical, real-world money-and-women worshipper like my housemate were blown away by it. I happen to be a not-so-closet-anymore Potterite, but even those who weren't enjoyed it just about as much. The characters are accurately represented, despite the necessary omission of certain thought and personality details that can't be translated to an entirely visual medium. Any humor that is left out from the book is made up for by new elements in the film. For just over two hours, all of us were children once more, living the childhood we never quite achieved in a world and social attitude that made it possible. My only small complaint was that Malfoy and Snape were not quite as venomous as in the novel, but that's not worth a star penalty - Alan Rickman did a fine job in his own unique way, and the Slytherins looked enough like punks. I'm anxious to see the characters grow up throughout the next films as they have in the novels.

Summary: Brilliant
Review: It took me several years to finally get around to reading the books that had managed to get all five of my children so thoroughly enthralled. Like perhaps everyone else on the planet, I also became enthralled by J.K. Rowling's works. So, it was with a great amount of trepidation that I went to see the first Harry Potter film. Having been disappointed so many times before, I found it hard to believe that the magical world created by J.K. Rowling could possibly translate to the screen. After all, these worlds were so intricately detailed, so perfectly described, and so different from anything that we had previously experienced. After four books, I had a "perfect" mental image of every character, every place, every event. However, I am delighted to say that I was wrong, and very much impressed by the way that all of this detail was captured in the film. The characters were very much like I had them pictured. I can't think of a single detail that was left out. The acting is superb. The visual effects are stunning. The film was very well directed, and the editing was masterful. Instead of spoiling my mental images, the film simply enhanced them even more. This is THE film to own on DVD. You, your kids, your neighbours and your relatives will come back to watch it again and again.

Summary: What a great imagination
Review: my 13 year old neice & I went to see the movie Harry Potter The charaters were great & the special effects were unbelievable. I loved the floating lit candles that lit the great hall room where they do the sorting of the first year students. I enjoyed it so much that I have borrowed the first 3 books from my neice & have read the first two already. This is a fun & adventureous movie for all ages to see. I have the movie on preorder & once it's released for rental will see it again.

Summary: Awesome Movie
Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone the movie made the book come to life. I finally know exactly how a Quiditch game is played and what the castle really looked like. The movie made all of the character seemed exactly as I saw them in my mind. The movie was thrilling! I want to see it again and again and again...

Summary: A future classic!
Review: I saw the movie 4 times - something I've never done before! I found it to be wonderful retelling on J.K. Rowling's most excellent book. Each successive time I saw it, I found something I missed and things that I eagerly anticipated seeing again. It is wonderful to have a face to put the names in the book. This will make rereading them all the more enjoyable for me. Even though the movie is almost 3 hour long, I found the time to go so fast I was left wanting more. I would have liked to have seen more than just the one Quidditch match, although that one was very thrilling to watch - made me feel like I was in the stands cheering. I eagerly look forward to the next two movies.

Summary: Good Even if You Haven't Read the Book
Review: I'll admit: I didn't understand the Harry Potter phenomenon at all... and I can honestly say it was a good movie! The storyline is familiar to everyone, so I'll spare you the details. The acting is really good, especially from the faculty of Hogwarts. Even the kids are decent actors! The special effects are also really good, although they can look a little fake at times. But overall, this movie is a fun experience. After seeing it, I read all four books and am anxiously awaiting number five. That's what a good movie can do!

Summary: Good in theaters, hopefully GREAT on DVD!
Review: I saw the movie the first day it came out. It was very good, but it was a tiny bit disapointing. The movie stayed close to the book, but a few things were diversioned and MANY things were left out. The DVD will have all the deleted scenes and hopefully the entire directors cut! The Harry Potter website says there will be 10 minutes of never before seen stuff, but I don't belive that. This will also have some very cool special features. I think the good theaterical realease will make a GREAT DVD!

Summary: Amazing and a unique expirience.
Review: After reeding all 4 book(Twice) i guess that the first movie is really amazing and it really shows the most importants things of the whole book but I still expected a bit more but have to tell that my friends that haven read the book really liked It.
I think that you'll should all buy the DVD or VHS cause it is really worth the live the magic and experience again and again.
Hope my experience has worked!!!!!

Summary: Harry Potter: Wizard or witch?
Review: First of all let me say that I did enjoy the movie, although I have never read more than book one.
Just one comment, I have never heard of a wizard riding a broom. Wouldn't that make Harry Potter
A witch? ...
