Review of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) by Russ B — 25 Aug 2016
Fun, Exciting, and Magical All at the Same Time!
Originally Written November 16, 2001--.
Adaptation of the first of J.K. Rowling's popular children's novels about Harry Potter, a boy who learns on his eleventh birthday that he is the orphaned son of two powerful wizards and possesses unique magical powers of his own. He is summoned from his life as an unwanted child to become a student at Hogwarts, an English boarding school for wizards. There, he meets several friends who become his closest allies and help him discover the truth about his parents' mysterious deaths.
The first film in what is sure to be a long-running series about the boy wizard and his two best friends---Ron and Hermione---is fun, exciting, and magical all at the same time. Walt Disney himself could never have imagined the world that J.K. Rowling has successfully brought to the big screen. Well done!
