Summary: cheesy and corny
Review: I don't get how they would let Hermione run off like that. Aren't they supposed to take care of her? And why couldn't they just magicly wish all muggles and bad stuff a way! And I have to say the movie was horrible! It sepperates from the book millions of miles!

Summary: Good but not Great
Review: The movie was great, before i read the books, but after i read the books, i realized what everyone meant by "too much stuff was left out". They skipped alot of the parts that would have been really interesting to see. On the second disk, the games you had to play to get to the deleted scenes were really annoying, for little kids, they may have been fun but not for everyone else.

Summary: I would have given 4.5 stars....
Review: This film was excellent. For someone who hasn't read the book, there are some questions that aren't answered very well. My guess is that because it was three hours long already, something had to go!
I enjoyed the young actors who play Harry, Hermione, and Ron. I thought Draco Malfoy's actor could use some work, but maybe the next movie will be better!

Summary: Stays quite close to the books
Review: I thought this movie stayed quite close to how I had envisioned the adventures of Harry. There is a truly marvelous cast in this one, and the sneering Alan Rickman is worth a rent on its own

Summary: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone VHS
Review: Movie looked and sounded just like what you see in the book. However, ALOT of things were left out. I know that if you put everything in the movie, moviegoers would be there for four hours. But that was what I was looking for!

Summary: Umm...
Review: Yes, the special effects were great. Yes, it was an enjoyable watch, and yes, the quidditch scene rocks my world. But as some people said, this film was a dissapointment.
It seriously moved way to fast and dropped too many IMPORTANT elements out from the book. Instead of cutting Hermione's scene with Snape's potions, they could've cut down Seamus's scenes with him exploding his goblet of water and exploding his feather in Charms class to make time for Hermione's scene. There were of course, the good points. Emma Watson's acting was superb and the quidditch scene was very realistic - not only with the flying scenes but with the points as well. In the book, you can usually tell right away which team was going to win - which is a very slight flaw in JK Rowling's writing skills :) She usually has one team with over a hundred points while the team that you KNOW is going to lose has ten points - the movie equals the points out, adding to the climax and the excitement because you don't know which team is going to win.
It's worth watching though, but the book is better by a thousand times.

Summary: stupid people
Review: this is for all the people who wrote really bad reviews for Harry Potter. a lot of you had appalling spelling mistakes in your reviews, and i think rather than criticizing Harry Potter you should go and learn to spell. as for the movie it was pretty good. it could definitely have been better, and funnier, and i am mad at Harry for having blue eyes rather than green, but it was still OK.

Summary: Very Disappointing
Review: I expected a lot, but was very disappointed in this overrated movie! It was much too long, and very boring.
Rating: 
Summary: 100% Pure Fun
Review: This was a fun and fine movie in overall, and the five stars are just for the movie itself, one of Chris Columbus's best along with 'Home Alone'. One of the reasons for giving five stars is the acting: Alan Rickman did a very great job, and Maggie Smith, Robbie Coltrane were both excellent in their roles. And from the young actors, there were some small flaws, but Tom Felton's acting was the best.
Now when it comes to rating the DVD, I'll have to give 4 stars. The special features were a little dissapointing: There was only one interview, no interview from the actors, and the other features such as the self-guide tour around Hogwarts was a little weak: the picture quality wasn't very good. And of course, there was the complicated excess to the deleted scenes. It was a bit entertaing at first, complicating also. But whenever I want to see the deleted scenes again, it gets very annoying, keep going through the same steps all over again.
But there are some good points,too. The library with the album of the main characters was helpful because I could watch some of my favorite scenes without searching the DVD. Also, the deleted scenes were great. They almost make up for the flaws in the special features disc.

Summary: A Movie better than the Book?
Review: People love to tell how the book was always "so much better than the movie!" I don't really think it matters how good the book or the movie are, people are just so afraid to say they enjoyed any movie more. Well, I enjoyed this movie more than the book. This is probably because I saw the movie first, which means that when I think on all those feelings of excitement and worry, I remember the movie. For the purists, who love to pick apart any difference between the movie and the book (and judge the movie's version to be worse, regardless of whether it is), there are plenty of little changes to keep them occupied (and give them hours upon hours whiney conversation topics). But, for those of you who love a great story, you will not be disappointed. This is an excellent movie with all the important moments from the book nicely bound in to a 2+ hour movie. It is so well done that if you see it before you read the book, you may like it more, too. Don't bother renting, it's just wasting 3 bucks (You'll end up buying it anyway).
