Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (1) - 8 stars out of 10

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (1) - 8 stars out of 10

I'll admit, I was never too keen on the Harry Potter fad. But after seeing this movie, I must admit that it really was THAT GOOD! After seeing the sequels, it is easy to spot the inferiority of the special effects in the original as technology improved over the course of 10 years, but at the time they were great and can still be appreciated for what they are. Strong acting for kids this age and an enchanting atmosphere are highlighted by a clever score by John Williams to make for a great film experience. Most of all, J.K. Rowling has penned a wonderfully imaginitive story highlighted with unique characters (in a unique atmosphere) that have enough depth to keep them interesting through 7 installments of Harry Potter.
