Summary: Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, 2 Pleasant surprises
Review: Having little knowledge of Harry Potter, but being of the Star Wars generation I was blown away by this film.

This is the first film in a series of upcomings, but doesnt need an hour of boring storytelling to bring the veiwer up to speed. The story is told in the most interesting ways possible, keeping me entertained to the max, even though I had no idea what to expect, and seeing a film that wasnt really aimed at me.

Harry Potter is the type of movie that makes your forget you live in reality, which in itself is the most fun you could have for 2 hours.

It has a Lord of the Rings feel to it, in the way of it being a fantasy film. It doesnt need to explain why things are happening the way they are. They happen, and your happy with that.

The characters are all very likable even the sinsister ones. Alan Rickman seems to be having the most fun as the villan Snape.

Like Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter has the sequel vibe all through it. 2 hours is clearly not enough time for the plot be be filled. However this movie uses its time very wise, and doesnt drag at any point.

The special effects are excellent. We know brooms cant fly, and there are no two headed monsters, but if there were... maybe this is what they would look like. There is a scene where the charcters are pawns on a chess board, the effects look like something out of Jumangi.

All in all, I had a big smile on my face in the end, as I turned to my nephew we both had the same idea...."Let's get back in line".

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Pretty good
Review: I know alot of people weren't very pleased with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone,but I thought it was pretty good. I know they might have changed some parts or cut them out, but the movie makes up for it. It was humorous, and adventurous, not to mention a pretty talented cast. As long as they do their best I'm pretty sure the next one will be great, especially since the second book was one of my favorites. Just because the movie wasn't exactly like the book, doesn't mean it wasn't a good movie, I thought it was cool, because they stayed pretty faithful to the book, so yes, I think I'd reccomend Harry Potter and the Sorcere's Stone for anyone who likes adventure and likes to have fun.

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: ~THE ~BEST MOVIE EVER!/HARRY,HERMIONE AND RON ARE AMAZING~
Review: Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone was a very entertaining and enjoyable. The deleted scene "Finding Flamel" was a really funny sequence that shouldn't have been left out of the film. I personally wanted to find out more about the 3 little heroes played by Harry, Hermione and Ron, but it was still a delightful experience. The movie was nothing like the book as more people would say but the film had great moments just as well as the book did.
I rated this film 5 stars because of the effort that was put in the story from the very beginning, and i CAN'T wait until the second movie "Chamber Of Secrets" comes into theaters on Friday November 15th, 2002.

Overall, I think the best part on the dvd was meeting the 3 little stars that made this movie possible, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint).

GREAT FILM!!!

Rating: 5 stars

Summary: My favorite book
Review: Lee Cox March 11, 2002 (Middle School)
I am a 12-year-old boy who has read Harry potter and the Sorcerers stone. It was one of the best books I had ever read. I enjoyed it vary much. I've read The Chamber of secrets and the goblet of fire. The goblet of fire was my favorite of them all. My class and I went to see Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone the movie, witch was a good movie. If it wasn't for my reading teacher I would of not of read any of them.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: As good as the book? Not really......
Review: Let me be honest. When the fourth book of the series was released and people went wild, I had no idea who Harry Potter was. I did my research, saw the trailers for the film, then actually went and saw it a few days after it was released. I was less than impressed with the film.(Take into account I had not read the books up to this point.) Don't get me wrong, the idea, the whole concept behind the film was great, but it the whole movie to me was, well, boring. After seeing the movie I decided to read the books. The sorcerer's stone is a fantastic book. Very enjoyable reading, and as I was reading it, I could picture the scenes of the movie in my mind. I have just about finished the second book, having started it only yesterday, and am actually looking forward to the Chamber of secrets in theaters. I'm going to give the movie a second chance when it comes out on DVD, because now I understand more about the whole Harry Potter phenomenon.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Harry Potter
Review: It was good to finally be able to see and understand fully about the Quidditch, doesn't matter how many times I've re read all the books, I still found it unbearably hard to get a grip on it, even though I got sea sick watching it. hehe, was still a great movie and perfectly tied into the book!! :)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A movie that did the book justice
Review: It is rare that I will admit that a movie version of a book was actually good. Most cases it's the exact opposite. This movie was quite a surprise. The movie didn't skip a thing. Alright, so it skipped a few things, but nothing too important. I just loved the book and was very weary of the movie release only because I didn't want to see my beloved characters destroyed. I was pleasantly surprised when they were just as I had pictured them all (except McGonnegal). I would still suggest reading the book first. Then, definately see the movie!!
