    ok flick - unfortunately ended up being key points from each chapter in the book stuck together with no real flow and a lot of the book left out. But as a film - it's ok. Characterisation and casting is exceptional.

    I give it a 4 for the acting. Yes the acting of the 3 main characters. This is when they first started out and they were still learning. Actually most of the young actors in the film were. The editing of the film from book to movie however I would give a 5 star.

    This movie hardly does the book justice. Important parts of the movie were omitted or altered in some way in order to stay within the time line of the movie. The director and producer of this movie seemingly didn't care very much about staying true to the story. I am very disappointed!!!

    The first film into the exciting adventures of Harry Potter based on the books by J.K. Rowling. Chris Columbus directs the first installment of Harry Potter. a classic within itself.

    Not Slytherin, eh? Are you sure? You could be great, you know. It's all here in your head. And Slytherin can help you on your way to greatness, there's no doubt about that. No?

    Even if I didn't care that it promotes witchcraft I found the acting wretched, and the film unbearable. Based on the calibre of this one film I have decided not to watch the rest of the films.

    Made me fall in love with the wizarding world of Harry Potter. Consequently, I started reading the books and found them to be the first novels I enjoyed reading as much as I enjoy watching movies. J.K. Rowling is a genius!

    Hm. I really liked this movie.
    Was it as good as the book?
    Of course not.
    But there was something "magical" about it.. (Not a pun..)

    An uninspired introduction to the HP world. If you must, read the book instead. Or just skip the francise altogether and save yourself the trouble.

    Chris Columbus really did capture the wide-eyed amazing brilliance tht kids felt when they'd enter hogwarts 4 the 1st time.he was a good director.and his style and Cuaron's are the best so far.Kloves wrote characters brilliantly too.
    Sos though not my fave was the 1st hp movie out and made me see what a handsome guy dan will grow up into!of cuz.Emma's beauty,only became more pronounced and heightened as years went by.

    I don't know if anyone else is aware of this or not but supposedly jk rowling had a deal worked out with the movie studio in her contract with them that only British actors could play all of the roles throughout all of the seven films, which is the damned dumbest thing that I've ever heard!!

    This is the main reason why I think the first movie sucked. They had subpar actors bc that wench decided to be stupid with that particular stipulation that she managed to manipulate into her contract, and so the movie(s, all of them no doubt) suffered!

    You didn't see the Tolkien estate make such stupid and bumbling demands when they were putting the contract together for The LOTR's films, did you? And those movies were awesome!!!
