Summary: Dissapointing
Review: AFter anxiously waiting for this movie, it was a great dissapointment. Not only was it boring, but totally different from the book. Harry and his troops were not good at all and did not give any real personality. They were more play acting and it was frustrationg, harry was just like a robot. Did not understand why the producers did not follow the book. If you are going to buy this movie because u enjoyed the book, i would seriously recommend to hire and watch before purchasing it. Lets just hope if they do go ahead with the second part, they will do a much better job. ...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Good
Review: Although the movie was not completely true to the book, the adaption was very unique and well told. The acting could have been better but the amazing Quidditch scene made up for any losses in the movie itself. Amazing!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Well I'll be a teenage girl backstage at a Aerosmith concert
Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, as you know, is the first installment in the Harry Potter series. And it's quite impressive. It stays loyal to the book, not leaving out one part, and has amazing special effects, almost unlike anything I've ever seen on a movie, not to mention on a PG rated one. The characters are just like the book described, led by a Harry Potter look-alike, Daniel Radcliff. You all know the plot, so there's no use explaining it. And if you've seen TLOR, I just wanna tell you, in my opinion, this is WAYYYYYYY better.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: It was meant to be.
Review: I think everyone was way to critical of this movie. First of all, any book adapted to the screen will be lacking. Endings have been changed, characters have been altered and the actor usually playing your favorite character is not the person you envisioned in your mind. Second, scenes had to be omittied. It's a 300 page book with more twists and turns than most writers could imagine. Had every detail been left in, we would have sat in the theater for a good 4 hours at least. Which is fine with most adults, but imagine trying to keep your 5 year old interested. Third, I was thrilled that they picked inexperienced child actors. It wouldln't have been nearly as believeable had they used Hollywood born and raised kids who know no emotion but the scripted ones. Fourth, it was done the way the author saw it fit to be done. She oversaw every detail of every shot. Who's to argue with that? I loved the movie. I loved it more each time I saw it. It made the magic come to life for me and made me realize how angry I was that I didn't get a letter from Hogwart's on my birthday. It was phenomenal. And I can't wait for the following movies.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: One of 2001's Best movies.
Review: Very faithful to the book and simply an Amazing movie. It's based on J.K. Rowling's Popular books, it's about a Orphaned Boy who is actully a Wizard and is sent to a special School where he
gets training for a year to become a full fledge Wizard. It's such a brilliant and visual triumph which will be a classic in the Fantasy hall of fame with: " The Dark Crystal", " The Wizard of Oz", " Labyrinth", " The Princess Bride", " Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Rings", " The Neverending Story", " Conan The Barbarian" and " The Last Unicorn."

A must see! but it may scare children under 7.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: VERY GOOD!
Review: This was a very good movie! It's only flaw was the missing scenes. Some scenes from the book were not included, the the Potions scene towards the end, and in the book they went to a hotel before the little ocean shack. Peeves was missing too :(. Otherwise it was a wonderful movie that I can't wait to get on DVD and watch over and over again!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Wonders of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Review: This movie is one of the best movies I have seen in theatres that actually has awesome special effects and is almost identical to the book. chris Columbus did an excellent job directing this movie, as did Daniel Radcliffe and the other actors. I must say that this si the best movie that is going to hit the shelves in 2002.
