HARRY POTTER 1: AND THE SORCERER'S STONE(2001):
I've seen this three times now, and every time
it just gets better and better!!!! What a wonderful
start to the franchise! The four main children who
are the true leads here, Daniel Radcliff, Rupert
Grint, Emma Watson and Tom Felton are all actors
way beyond their years!! With Robbie Coltrane and
Richard Harris as two of the main adult leads doing
a great job also! In a kind of small role is John Cleese
as an almost headless ghost! Pretty funny role really!
This is truly a "new classic" among newer movies!
If you don't enjoy this movie, then you're just not
paying attention!!! A+
From IMDb.com:
This movie is a delight for those of all ages.
I have seen it several times and each time I
am enchanted by the characters and magic.
The cast is outstanding, the special effects
delightful, everything most believable.
You have young Harry, a mistreated youth
who is "Just Harry" to himself. And then, he
embarks on a most beautiful adventure to
the Hogwarts school.
He meets Ron and Hermione, one an adorable
mischief maker, the other a very tense and
studious young lady.
Together, the trio try to set things right in
the school.
It's the ultimate fantasy for young and old. - Tracy
