Book Reviews of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Special Widescreen Edition)
Book Review: A fun intro to Harry Potter
Summary: 5 Stars
In some ways, this is the best Harry Potter movie. It's light enough for kids, but the story is engaging enough for adults. The beginning of the film really captures the magical world of wizardry, from the goblins to the first quidditch game. It stands well enough alone as a movie - you don't really need to know much about Harry Potter before watching it.
The kids are excellent actors. Rewatching it again after many, many years, I was impressed with the range of young Ron's emotions (by contrast, I find his later character a bit boring and pouty). They're adorable and frankly well cast.
Some of the later Harry Potter films are better produced and have better special effects, but few are so satisfying.
