Review of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001) by Vadim D — 06 Dec 2014

_Rewatch Review_.

I think this is the Harry Potter most faithful to it's book. Not exactly EVERYTHING that's in the book happens in here, too, but almost everything does. Watching this movie again brought up some real good memories of when I was a kid and when I saw it the first time. It's really magnificent. How much a movie can mean to you. It was just amazing seeing the gang all young again! This is a much 'happier' movie than the other ones in the series, as it gets darker and darker the more you come near the end. And this is one true classic for all ages to enjoy! Intriguing story, very well acted by it's young stars and the CGI, although quite noticeable is still pretty good for it's age. All in all, a perfect book to movie adaptation which is even more enjoyable in it's extended version (about 10 more minutes of deleted scenes).
