Summary: 5 star movie w/a pain in the a** dvd
Review: I'd rate it higher, cause it was a wonderful movie. But the xtras are stupid and the navigation screens nearly made me scream. Talk about a pain! I just want to watch the damn movie not play stupid guessing games!

Summary: Could have been soooo much better, but still decent.
Review: Good movie, but will be disappointing for fans of the series. In it's defense: It does try much harder than most book-to-film adaptations to stay true to the book, although it was the little things that annoyed the hell out of me. For instance the major complaint I have is the placement of Harry's scar. In all of the books, the lightning bolt shaped scar is located dead-center on Harry's forehead. For some reason, in the films
it will be located off-center. Why? What purpose could there be to stray from this little tiny detail that I am sure all fans of the series would notice?
The main reason to watch this film can be summed up in two words:Alan Rickman. This guy kicks...! They couldn't have casted the role of Snape any better.
Worth seeing, but be sure to rent before buying as you could be dissapointed.

Summary: Reading the books are not required to understand the movie
Review: The Harry Potter movie does not require reading, the first four volumes, to understand the movie. Throughout the movie different phrases were used but immediately explained. Its a very enchanting movie with good special effects. Kids and adults can enjoy the plot, as Harry Potter discovers, he is a wizard, but not just an ordinary wizard, a famous wizard. Harry attends Hogwart school of wizardy and learns of a dialogical plot unfolding. The movie is three hours long and sometimes tests your patience, but kids love it.

Summary: Not as good as the Book
Review: If you have only read the first chapter of the first book you will think that this is 5 star quiality but if have read the whole book this is a terrible based feature full of phony props,stupid jokes, and some bad acting. The added footage is horrorble too.
Read the book instead.

Summary: The World of Harry Potter is Brought to Life WONDERFULLY!
Review: I had mixed feelings about Harry Potter coming to the big screen, but then I saw the movie. Wow. Chris Columbus has done an excelent job of bring Harry's world to life. Everything is just how I imagined it, right down to the last hallway and giant christmas tree. Hogwarts is amazing, and the quidditch game is awesome. While some of the special effects could use some work, overall they were all right. This movie is an instant classic for kids and adults. HP fans will be spellbound!

Summary: What about adults?
Review: I am a HUGE fan of Harry Potter.. more like an obsessive freak and I'm 18. I found this movie so entertaining and enjoyable (gotta love Draco and Oliver Wood). But the DVD is a bit disappointing. It is meant to be for kids ONLY. What I have been waiting in the DVD the most are interviews with the cast especially since Malaysia aired an interview once. And one more thing is "Behind the Scene" that should let you see the making of the movie and how the special effect was done. Additional outakes and extra deleted scene would be great. But no, they had to make all the stuff for kids apart from the 7 deleted scenes. I mean come on! I caught the snitch in less than 2 seconds, and solved the puzzle in less than 5 minutes to get to the deleted scenes. There's also no commentary from the director, or the cast or from J.K Rowling, or any message from J.K Rowling. I want to suggest that the second movie "Chamber of Secrets"' DVD, there should be more stuff for adults than for kids. Or better yet, make 2 seperate DVD for kids and adults so kids can have some interactive entertainment and adults could have all the interviews and stuff. Otherwise, the movie itself is awesome :-)! Should be longer though than just 2 and half hour.

Summary: Happy Harry
Review: Wonderful DVD for almost all ages. This is a charming tale beautifully told. The characters are endearing and well crafted. My wife and I surprisingly watch it again and again. If it has any weaknesses it has to be the special features section. The pulsed video effect and clunky interface was disappointing. Take my advice and just skip the "tours".

Summary: Good, but could have been better
Review: I thought Harry Potter was a pretty good movie. The acting was great (especially Snape and Dumbledore), and the so were the special effects. There was just one problem. It stayed wayyy too close to the story. I've read the books and I love them, but I still think they should have made it somewhat original. I'm sure some people like it completely accurate, but I found it became boring, epecially since most of the dialogue came directly from the book. Still, it was a good movie, even for people who haven't read the book, and I think if you have the time it's worth watching.

Summary: Lacking a little something?
Review: The Harry Potter book series is sensational, and this movie does the first book justice. The 2-disk DVD set, however, leaves much to be desired. Sure, there are games and a Hogwarts tour and lots of other neat stuff. But for those who would like to learn more about how the film itself was made, you may be disappointed to learn that there are no commentaries, and the short "making of/interview" special doesn't give out much information. I would have loved to see a commentary with the three children who played Harry, Ron, and Hermione, or one with the director Chris Columbus, or, best of all, one with "Potter" author J.K. Rowling on her reactions to it. All in all, though, a well-polished film and DVD set. If you loved the film, you should definitely have this as part of your DVD collection.

Summary: Harry Potter and the sorcerer's stone-The Movie
Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was a great book and even better movie, although it was almost the same thing. I think they should make more movies of Harry Potter, im sure all most every body would agree with me that they should make another one. This movie is great for people who like Harry Potter or just like excitement. It is full of wizards, magic and witches. I really like the part when Harry first meets Ron on the train, its not funny or anything its just that Ron is SO surprised that it's Harry Potter. If I had to give this movie a rating I would give it a 4 out of 5, there are some parts that just don't fit into the book. I really don't like the scene when Hermine gets all mad at Ron and Harry for saying she is Rude because it was true at the time.
I think Draco Malfy is the best actor in this movie, although he might not be the nicest. It was a really good idea to make a movie of Harry Potter. The author of this book is very imaginative and had a very good idea of writing the book and making the movie. This movie has almost every thing that a good movie needs: Jokes, dueling(battle scenes) and excitement.
It was a really good movie! I would recommend it!
