Summary: This will be one of the best fantasy movies ever!
Review: When will "The Chamber Of Secrets" be made a movie?? I loved this movie. When I went to see it, I didn't think it was going to be good but, it was! It follows the book closely but you can't expect EVERYTHING that was in the book to be in the movie! It has wonderful graphics and actors. It brings the book to life. Any Harry Potter fan would enjoy this!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I am almost crazy for Harry and his good friends.
Review: The movie is very exciting and interesting. I actually don't know how to use my limited English to rate it. I like the colourful clothes of Harry and the food in the dining hall. Harry is so smart and handsome. I love him very much. As from the legend, Harry should be the one who makes great achievements. I really hope that the second movie will be on show by May next year and then the third one by Christmas next year.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Outstanding!
Review: I'm a 17-year-old senior in high school, and after reading Philip Pullman's "His Dark Materials" I was dying for some new fantasy books. I had not read Harry Potter yet (I know... a little late...), and so, at the request of my friends, went to see the movie. Those three hours were the greatest three hours of any movie we'd ever seen! The acting is great, after reading the books and looking back, the movie stays very true to the book, the sets are gorgeous, special effects are great... there's nothing bad to say! In fact, after seeing the movie, I went online and spent (...) on Harry Potter merchandise and now my family and I are going to see it (over Christmas vacation). Honestly, if you want a movie that is simply fun (and isn't "deep" like high school english is) go and see Harry Potter.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Where's The Fistfight ?!?!
Review: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone the movie was like the book in alot of ways.It was also different in alot of ways. I,myself voted this movie 4 out of 5 stars. I would've voted 5 if they(Warner Bros.) didn't take out the fistfight between Draco Malfoy and Ron Weasley at the Quidditch stadium from the book. I was amazed at how the characters looked. They were just how Ms. Rowling described them in the book! The end was the best part when everyone [finally] got to see Vol- oops ,as Hagrid would say "can' tell yer the end"!! Anyway,if you haven't seen Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone yet,go out and see it because Harry Potter and Warner Bros. make a great team! And don't forget if anyone says "Oh,Potter You Rotter"(besides Peeves )they're just a mean muggle or a mad mudblood!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Harry Potter and the Philosopher Stone --- Lovely Movie!
Review: I was never interested in these books, but my friends kept telling me how great they were. I was really annoyed and I thought HP was over-rated.
When I finally read the first book, only to find something bad to annoy my friends with in return, I was happily surprised. This book was nothing like I expected it to be. I was hooked! Harry Potter is such a lovable character that he really makes you to fall in love with him, to care about him. I read all 4 books in a week!

When HP and the Philosopher's Stone was released I went to watch it. And I loved it! The best part was the cast, specially the 3 leading kids. They were perfect! The movie is long but it flows nicely and it never gets boring.

I highly recommend the books and the movie to everyone! Give Harry Potter a chance... believe me, it's worth it!

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Enjoyable but nothing spectactular.
Review: This movie really wasn't anything special. The characters, for one, were plastic and see through, with the exception of some decent acting done by Professor Snape's actor. Harry Potter the kid was just boring and robotic. He showed almost no emotion, and when he did it ended up looking very practiced and planned. People rave about the special effects, but they get old after a while and compared to the effects in other new movies, like Lord of the Rings (which blows Harry out of the water), they're rather cheesy. Voldermort, a promising villian who might have risen to Darth Vader like infamy, was completely ruined and ended up looking goofy and almost humorous. I also have to agree with an earlier reviewer that the movie teaches goodness is born through good genes. Harry Potter and Ron have good parents, so therefore they're good. Lusciuos has a loathsome father, therefore he is loathsome. The story would be more effective if Harry's parents were either losers or villians.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great
Review: THis movie was very good although the book is better the movie got me interested so you should go see it.. i saw the movie first and then read the book which was great for me b/c i was able to pronuonce the names and say the spells in my heads but either way is good and the second one is even better i cant wait till the rest of the movies coem out...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Where's Peeves?
Review: Although a bit miffed at no Peeves, and the changes I saw from the book, the movie is really a treat. The theme song was really interesting, it reminded me of "The Sorcerer's Apprentice." That only thing that would make it better if it was exactly like the book, but I don't think too many people would want to see a movie that long! Oh well. I'm egarly awiting the next.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Good but not better than Lord of the Rings!!!!
Review: This is a good movie, like it a lot but I can't see how it's better than Lord of the Rings like Ebert & Roeper say. This is filled with spirit and imagination and recommend it for kids over Lord of the Rings in that fashion, otherwise I would say they're nuts. Richard Roeper says Lord of Rings ends after 3 hours and basically says "Ok see ya next time" and I can't honestly see how this doesn't do the same thing although it's not 3 hours, lol. Still it still gives you sort of the "we'll be back ending". I don't really think anything in Harry is that oscar worthy either unlike Lord of the Rings except for maybe the excellent musical score by John Williams.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone
Review: When I saw the movie I was kind of disappointed because a lot of important sceens from the book had been taken out. The directer skiped pretty much all of the middle of the book.When Harry,Hermoine,and Ron went in the room with Fluffy Harry was playing the instrument that Hagrid had given him,and when Harry passed it to Hermione, Fluffy all most woke up, but didn't. So Harry went through the trap door and landed on top of the plant and then told Ron and Hermione to come down.All this happend in the book. I'm not going to say anything else, so you guys will just have to read the book and see the move and determend wether which one you liked better. I liked the book better.
