Harry Potter & The Sorcerer's/Philosopher's Stone

Caution: This Might Contain Spoilers!


Now, I am going to assume the most everyone has seen this film by now. If you haven't then your truly missing out on a great film! This is based off the popular novel by J.K. Rowling. This is the famous story of an orphaned boy who became something spectacular. After his parent's death to Lord Voldermort, Harry is taken to live with aunt and uncle in England. He is abused by his aunt because of her distaste for what her sister was. Harry had been unable to explain the strange occurrences that happened around him, and years later is unable to explain why he is forcibly receiving letters. Hagrid, a half giant, informs him that he is wizard and takes him to the legendary school of Hogwart's. In his first year he makes everlasting friendships, and begins to learn about his unspoken past.

This film is a landmark in film history because it popularized teenage novels being turned into film adaptations. This film also stirred a lot of controversy from religious organizations, and asked the question if film ruins the novel stories? Chris Columbus did an excellent job directing this film. He remained as true to the novels as he could possibly be. A few elements were changed around to better  fit reel time. In the film there were moments where future plots were suggested that an average film audience wouldn't know without having the novels. The music has become synonymous with the Harry Potter franchise. The children actors did a great job, and the adults were just as great. Alan Rickman brought a strong presence to an unpopular character. The unusual quirk is why did Ron receive more house points for a game chess then Hermione did for using intellect?

I give this film a 10 out of 10 stars! Otherwise, it's a great family film that shows a different form of love (other than the general romance love). A definite must see film for everyone. It is interesting that a stone save him fro death in the first story, and it was stone that saves him again in the final conclusion.
