I was surprised, to say the least.
After reading the books, the movie was better than I expected it to be. Usually directors take free carte blanche with Book-to-Film movies and add or take at their leisure.

Chris Columbus was able to pull off a superbe film with all the wonderful quips and quotes of the books in only 152 minutes.

I loved how there was even ro... read more

This is actually only my 2nd Favorite movie in the Potter-verse. I'm more partial to Chamber of Secrets, because of its slightly darker tone...that and Dobby!

And, before I say anything more, let it be noted that Joel H should've used the appellation "Troll H", because it seems obvious to me that he only posted to get a rise. If you're really so dense that you could use such contu... read more

Being a child of the 1990s and having read four of the seven novels that were released at the time until the release of the first film adaptation in the series - Philosopher's Stone, there were excitements tingling all over.

35 From 1: My Favorite Films From 2001 (35 movies items)

" When the Harry Potter books first came into my radar of awareness, I must admit that I completely dismissed them simply because, from what I had heard, they were a really big hit with the tweener audience. Therefore, I obviously just assumed that these English stories about some geeky "spectacled" kid who carried around a wand because he was some kind of a witch or something, and, as a result, it was something that would have absolutely no appeal to me, particularly as an adult.

Fictional Places You Don’t Want To Visit (205 movies items)

"Hogwart’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, often shortened to Hogwarts, was the British wizarding school, located in the Scottish Highlands. Why you wouldn’t want to visit or attend: Rules aside, there is danger every at most every corner. And also He Who Must Not Be Named. Studying to be a wizard or witch sounds fun. Right up until, you potentially could get injured or worst. Dead."
