Review: I think that the movie was good but they missed out on tons of cool stuff! They missed lots of good Fred and George jokes.

Summary: Left out or forgotten??
Review: I read the book when the third came out. By then I had already grown a love for the book and went on to read the others. When I heard that the movie was coming out I reread the book to make sure that I would remember everything that they put into the movie from the book. When I saw the movie I was a bit unhappy. Yes the effects were great. I was very disappointed with the ending though. Each room is supposed to have a different teacher's trick in it to stop whoever tries to get the stone but many were left out. Snape's potion room with the accompanying riddle was forgotten as well as the troll. All of the friends had part in getting Harry to the stone and the mirror. Hermione was supposed to stay with Harry until the potions room where she takes the potion to go back while Harry takes the potion to go foreward. Overall it is alright, these portions mentioned are very key to the story and would not have harmed the movie sales if anything it would have made it more popular to the hardcore book lovers like myself.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun for all
Review: Whenever I watch a film I attempt to categorize it before I go, that way my expectations are usually met. Then I read the reviews of adults trashing the movie as not "confronting the social-economic issues" Ummm, last time I looked.. Harry Potter is a kids movie. I have not spoken to one child upset about the movie, sad it didn't deal more with the treatment of Harry by his Aunt and Uncle. It's a great film, fun to watch, follows the natural progression of the book. The characters all play theirs roles well. Fun for young and old. Just maybe not a 30 year old geek wrapped up in a children's book.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This Movie was OKAY
Review: This movie I liked a lot. I have to say the book is a lot better. This movie seems to have been a bit boring at times and not always following the book. Although, I do think this movie had some excellent graphics. Fluffy was amazing, the graphics I mean. The casting, I think, was perfect. They chose the best people they could find. I also think they look extroardinarily like I pictured them in the book. I do still think that this movie could've been better directed. The movie practically had them walking around half of the time to a class or other. This is what I had to say on this movie. I still think, though, the books were a lot better.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: Book or Movie?? hmmm...
Review: When I first heard that the movie was coming out, and as the premiere date came closer, I started to feel really curious to know about this so-called wizard boy, Harry something. Of course, by that time, why someone like me would have heard something about this 11 year old boy, or maybe about his friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger? I was sure getting away from something I couldn't skip, and that is the much-hyped media phenomenom Harry Potter.

After being harrassed by my own sister and bored as hell in one rainy day, I finally decided to read the first pages of this book called "The Sorcerer's Stone", the first of four books available at the moment. I was caught by the magic of the book and read it within two days. I couldn't stop looking at it! it was like an obsession, thiking 24/7 about what would that package at Gringotts have inside and things like that. It was then when I started to follow the new trend, the Harry Potter one.

It was finally time to go and watch the movie at the theater. After a superlong line, I got the enter the theater and I could watch the most faithful adaptation of the book to the screen that could have been done. The movie itself is a really well-done picture, where all the characters look exactly as you pictured them when you read the book and re-created the scenes in your mind...you could have swore someone read your mind and put what you thought on film!!

Although the movie has countless magnificent special effects, and some breath-taking scenes such as the impopular Quidditch match, I definetely prefer the book, which in my opinion is 10x better then the movie. But at the end it's not so bad, that's why it will get 4 stars ...

If you haven't seen this movie yet, it's something I recommend!!! I'll be definetely getting the DVD version of it, not because of me but because of the whole family!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Could of been better
Review: I really was expecting more after loving the book so much. They left out several scenes, including the troll that Quirell put in for gaurding the sorcerer's stone and the potions scene, which I was really looking foreward to seeing because it's hermione's (emma watson's) way to help to the stone. The Quidditch was excellent, though. I rated this three stars because there were some good scenes (such as the Quidditch, the forbidden forest, and...erm...the...view of the castle?) but there were numerous bad scenes (like the sorting hat scene, i really think the person who wrote the script should go back to preschool and learn his/her ABC's again, and the sorting hat didn't even sing, plus there's the little fact that they excluded the potions scene, peeves, and several other pretty important scenes) but the acting was very good. i think that you should only see this if you a) really love the harry potter books (like me) and simply HAVE to see it or you'll explode, or b) haven't read the books, so CAN'T see the faults in the movie.
