Review of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) by David O — 14 Aug 2018
A purely magical movie with enchanting adventure, the whole family can enjoy. The scale and world building is purely something to admire, which is a credit to the set designers, prop makers and make up team as they make a theme park of great sights and experiences.
Chris Columbus gives us much of this magic with his style as he directs a very talented cast who embrace every aspect of this story. The young actors are charming and the adults are serious but theatrical.
John Williams also does it again as he makes an instant classic soundtrack, making for a winning combination with Rowling and Columbus.
