American director Chris Columbus (HOME ALONE) brings the magic of British author J.K. Rowling's beloved best-selling fantasy novel to life in HARRY POTTER AND THE SORCERER'S STONE. Eleven-year-old orphan Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) finds his world turned upside down when he discovers that, like his deceased parents, he is a wizard and has been accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. With fellow first-year students Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) by his side, Harry's adventures begin in the rambling castle that is Hogwarts. Vivid special effects make Hogwarts' magic a reality with paintings that come alive, staircases that move themselves, friendly ghosts, and fast-paced Quidditch (the school sport) matches in which students zoom around on their flying brooms. Mixed in with the miracles of Hogwarts are its dark hidden chambers and secrets, which Harry and his friends encounter as they embark on a quest to keep a treasured powerful object from falling into the wrong hands. Staying true to the book with this film adaptation, Columbus follows Rowling's story to the tiniest detail, making it a special treat for readers who were smitten with the novel. Radcliffe is especially engaging as Harry, infusing him with a believable sense of wonderment. The star-studded cast also includes Richard Harris, Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, and Robbie Coltrane.

-- Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
Thumbs Up One of the best kids movies I have seen in a long time. Great for children over 8 years old - eventhough my 2.5 year old likes to watch it also. Submitted by tiggerob28 (Syracuse, NY, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo

J.K. Rowling's Marvelous World Personally I loved the movie,it had inspired me to read the books. I thought it was a wonderful idea for Warner Brothers to include J.K. Rowlings input in the making of the movie. In fact,I would have loved it if they had made the first movie and the rest into four hour epics! That's how much I love J.K. Rowling's magical world of Harry Potter! And when I mean four hour epics,I mean each movie would be four hours long like the Ten Commandments or Gone With the Wind! Mr. Chris Columbus did a fantastic job!That's why I would have loved to have seen more!For me the goes by so quickly,that's how entertaining it is for me. Submitted by a reviewer (Syracuse,N.Y.)
