A great entry to the world of Harry Potter. The beginning of it all. I believe this is probably the best of it's lot because of the way it introduces all these things. Quidditch, Broomsticks, withes and wizards like you've never imagined. J.KA great entry to the world of Harry Potter. The beginning of it all. I believe this is probably the best of it's lot because of the way it introduces all these things. Quidditch, Broomsticks, withes and wizards like you've never imagined. J.K rowling has definitley got alot of inspiration from fairy tales and stories of witches and magic but revamps it like no one has ever seen. It's one of the most original film series since Star Wars. I guess the story I don't really need to talk about because i'm sure most of you out there have heard of Harry Potter. Basically Harry is 'the boy that lived' from a dark evil wizard by the name of Voldemort when he was just an infant. Dumbeldore, the headmaster of Hogwarts, Hagrid and the other teachers of Hogwarts leave him off at his closest relatives, his uncle an aunt. At the age of 11 Harry is revisited by Hagrid and is taken to Hogwarts. this is where he learns all about wizardry and why he is their. It's a fnatastic story and a pretty touching story. Harry grew up with his uncle and aunt who are extremely mean to him along with his cousin, Dudley who is the selfish spoilt little brat. All three of them are characters you love to hate. As much as they are extremely mean people it's enjoyable to see them be so pompus and narcistic at times. Most of the characters in the story are brilliant. It makes this world very believable and reels you in.Hagrid i'd like to start with. He is a brilliant character at about the height of 7 foot. As much as he looks monstrous he's actually a gentle heartfelt man who can cook and do gardening. The relation he has with Harry, Ron and Hermione is great. He looks like such a good friend. Ron weasley, a friend Harry meets on the train to Hogwarts. He's silly at times and things sometimes don't work out for him. Hermione is a school addict who knows plenty about spells and potions. Harry is played wonderfully by Daniel Radcliffe and it's easy to see how he got the role. All the characters of the story seem fit for the film. The way they look, the way the talk has a magnificent style. That's what the Harry Potter films have. Alot of style. They are very distinct from other films. How many films involve stories as deep as this along with mythical creatures, Witched, Spells and thousand year old castles. As the first of the Harry Potter films this is a wonderful entry and if you haven't watched ANY of the Harry Potter films then it's worth starting with this one.… Expand

The first movie, Chris Columbus opened a saga that would mark a generation. I was dazzling, visually beautiful, funny and magic. John William's music was wonderful, it fitted very well to every sequence.

That being said, I have never met anyone who had anything bad to say about the Potter films, so I finally decided to give it a shot, and boy was I surprised! For those select few who don't know the story, Harry Potter is the son of two legendary wizards, who was hidden with distant relatives, in order to protect him. Until his eleventh birthday, he had no idea that he was famous or had the potential to be the most power wizard the world has ever known. Potter is invited to join the Hogwarts school of wizardry and that is when the adventure begins. British Actor, Daniel Radcliffe, plays Potter and is nothing short of spectacular. Before the Potter films, Radcliffe had very limited acting experience and many say, he got the part, because of his resemblance to Harry Potter on the cover of the book. That may be how he got the part, but he defiantly shows he has the talent to go along with the right look. His performance was terrific, but there is something to be said about having the right Director, and Christopher Columbus was the perfect choice. Columbus has a ton of experience working with young newcomers in films with high expectations. Overall, the story is extremely well written, the young cast was refreshing and full of energy, the direction was stellar, and the set, costumes, and effects were some of the best I've ever seen. I'm not going to go run out and join a quitage team, but I am going to see the rest of the series. Harry Potter is a huge budget franchise, but for once, a blockbuster film does live up to the hype, and earns the title of a must see movie!… Expand

The performances from the cast were stupendous especially Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Robbie Coltrane, Alan Rickman, Richard Griffiths, Fiona Shaw, Maggie Smith, and Ian Hart and the voice over performance from Leslie Phillips as the Sorting Hat was great. The visual effects were gorgeously done especially during the Quidditch game and the three-headed dog fluffy. The scenery and sets were well done and really cool looking.

Throughout my life - school days, college, internet; I often used to see people going non-stop about Harry Potter (I think they are called Potterheads). Harry Potter this, Harry Potter that. So finally yesterday I decided to give it a try and oh my god, it's amazing! Why didn't I see it back when I had the chance to?

It is kinda unbelieveable that such a nicely detailed CGI movie was released in 2001. I know the VFX had grown a lot better since Lord of the Rings trilogy was also made at the same time, but still I was not prepared for it. I was expecting it to be just some regular CGI that didn't age too well. Trust me, if you haven't watched the movie till now, it hasn't aged at all. It can very much still be the selling point of the movie.

I had watched some parts of the movie, like the beginning where Harry's cousin was brought back home after he fell in the snake's cage and the Quidditch scene, but I didn't have any powerful memory of any other scene from the movie. In the scene where Voldemort says to the professor, "Kill him!" somehow I used to remember that scene to be the teacher first saying "What should I do?" to which Voldemort replies that. And I'm glad I didn't have any previous memory of this movie, because that way I was able to experience everything for the first time.

This movie has the 2001 movie's vibe to it, where the story is very straightforward and the childish background music makes it seem very easy to understand. I haven't seen any other movie of the franchise, as I'm going to watch the next part after writing this review. But I hope it stays that way, since it's very easy to understand and thus I can watch the movie on my phone while doing my work on my laptop.… Expand

I mustThis is a film that succeeds at creating a whole new fantasy world for us to explore; populated by a cast of characters that are all very likeable and of course, magical. In fact, that's pretty much the film in a nutshell, magical. I must also place a huge emphasis on "cast" because every single actor and actress involved in this production were tailor made to play these characters. I couldn't think of anyone else in these roles after the credits rolled. Columbus' direction is also excellent; painting a picture of contrasting lights and shadows that clash to create a warm and welcoming picture quality. This is a film that continues to stay in my memory long after it is over because it excels at creating a believable fantasy world and characters. Luckily enough, sequels have followed to let us get more immersed into this world and the events that happen to the titular character. Congrats to the film crew as well as the author, J.K. Rowling.… Expand

Comentario de Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal es una película inglesa de genero fantasía, estrenada en el año 2001, dirigida por Chris Columbus y protagonizada por Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint y EmmaComentario de Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal Harry Potter y la piedra filosofal es una película inglesa de genero fantasía, estrenada en el año 2001, dirigida por Chris Columbus y protagonizada por Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint y Emma Watson. En la película un niño de once años llamado Harry Potter descubre que es mago y va a un colegio de magia donde conoce grandes amigos, vive aventuras y es expuesto a peligros inimaginables.
En general, Harry Potter es una historia fantástica, donde la amistad y la inocencia infantil es lo más importante sin dejar de lado el ingenio y la inteligencia de cada uno de los personajes. Es una película realmente increíble en la que cada escena y cada parte de la trama están bien pensadas y son muy fieles al libro en el que película se basa. El humor inocente y los diálogos bien pensados para crear tensión en los momentos más importantes hacen que en momentos la película llegue a enternecer al espectador, esto junto con la triste historia de Harry hacen que, aunque la película sea inicialmente pensada para niños se convierta en un placer verla a cualquier edad. La ambientación de la película es increíble incluso para la época, Hogwarts el colegio donde transcurre la película, es una maravilla de la arquitectura gótica y aunque no sea un edificio real no se duda de su belleza. Otros escenarios de la película son iguales de impresionantes. En definitiva, es una película maravillosa y muy recomendada para quienes quieren visitar un mundo diferente al ordinario y deseen darse una zambullida en la magia. Una muy buena película para pasar el rato y quedar maravillado con el mundo de Harry Potter. Merece una calificación de 10 estrellas en una escala de 0 a 10.… Expand

Harry Potter would undoubtedly have been a classic in its book form, but, thanks to the cast and crew of the film adaptations, the series became a phenomenon. From detail-attentive storytelling to character castings that feel like the creators performed real magic to pull them from the pages, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone smartly uses its beefy runtime to tell an unmissable coming-of-age fantasy. A strong, old-timey feel creates distinct aesthetics, and John Williams’ musical score is a special magic of its own.

Dan, Rupert and Emma are perfectly cast and all the other older british actors give Hogwarts a rich atmosphere. The story provided by JK Rowling is really strong so the filmmakers were wise in following it closely. In the end, Chris Columbus deserves much credit for starting off the series on the right foot.

Chris Columbus kicked off what was to become a worldwide phenomenon, brimming with excitement and passionate stories that JK Rowling has written.
Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is met with the unimaginable after finding out on his 11th birthday that he is a wizard, and that he is scheduled to enrol in Hogwarts, a magical school for witches and wizards that is vastly different from our seemingly routine earth. Harry is introduced to all kinds of magical anomalies, complete towns behind dead end walls, wands, broomsticks, every sort of out of this world thing imaginable. But of course there is always darkness with light, and Harry soon discovers that there is a reason people whisper is name as he passes and why the professors at Hogwarts take such an interest in his life.
Joining him for the journey are dynamic duo is red-haired Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and the brains and elegance that is Hermione Granger (Emma Watson). These three truly get more than they bargain for as they form unlikely friendships, particularly with the half-giant Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) who has more than a few secrets to divulge.
The huge British cast the film boasts is quite fitting for these characters are pictured when reading the book, and in terms of the scale of the film, it simply doesn't get much bigger, while also staying as true as it can to the source material for the purposes of film, a lot of effort and attention to detail is quite breathtaking, from the Great Hall to the dormitories within each house. While the child at times can be a little jarring and too much on cue, the overall tone of the film maintains a light-hearted approach the way the first book entry in the series outlined.
The film succeeds in adventure and emotional clarification for our main man Harry, this boy has lost his parents and only eleven years later knows the truth surrounding his whole life, but with this quite tragic story the creators have managed to create a film that appeals to all ages, with a perfect mixture of comedy, action, amazement, but most of all, magic.… Expand

A young boy's lonely life is turned around when he discovers that he is a wizard in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", a story written by J.K. Rowling and adapted onto the big screen.

Daniel Radcliffe plays the title character, HarryA young boy's lonely life is turned around when he discovers that he is a wizard in "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone", a story written by J.K. Rowling and adapted onto the big screen.

Daniel Radcliffe plays the title character, Harry Potter, who, as a baby, was left to be looked after by his aunt and uncle, along with his raging cousin, and they all mistreat him for years of his life.

Not long after Harry turns 11, a strange, huge and hairy man who goes by the name "Hagrid" (Robbie Coltrane) informs Harry that he is a wizard, and that his parents were exceptional students at a school named "Hogwarts", where gifted, magical youngsters are able to use their spells to their very best, and learn other new skills in regards to magic.

Harry begins to learn more about his past, such as the fate of his parents' death was caused a by a "Lord Voldermort", and how he managed to get the scar that is on his forehead.

Hagrid then decides to take Harry to the magical world of Diagon Alley, where Harry can purchase wands and broomsticks galore. After getting the essentials he needs, he then takes the train that leads directly to Hogwarts. It is there that he meets two other young students, Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson). He also comes across a very cynical young boy named Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton) who proves to be one not to be trusted.

The movie is filled with wonderful imagination, and a sense of strong, individual characters that many will choose to identify with. Director Chris Columbus ('Home Alone' and 'Mrs. Doubtfire') crafts an amazing magical adventure that is enchanting and thrilling all at the same time. The young actors do fine in their roles, although, there are some room for improvement, but they are young. The movie is also very well paced and should hold one's attention for longer than possible.

It is an excellent start to one of the most iconic franchises of all time. You wouldn't want to miss it.… Expand

Sometimes when you're reading the book or watching the movie, you feel like you are right there with them. The storyline and plot is amazing. The personalities of the characters in the book are almost identical to them in the movie with maybe a few mishaps here and there. One piece of advice: read the book before watching the movie. If you don't, the movies can get a little confusing, and you might get frustrated with the lack of detail. But, all in all, it is definitely worth your time to get hooked in this thrilling book and movie series.… Expand

Faithful to the book.

This film is an adaptation of the first book of Harry Potter's saga, written by the British author J.K. Rowling. Directed by Chris Columbus, a man with experience in making films for young audiences ("Home Alone" is paradigmatic), this film has a very young cast led by Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson, in the roles of the apprentices wizards Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, while also features veterans actors of the British theater and cinema, as Richard Harris (in one of his last appearances in movies before his death), Maggie Smith and Robbie Coltrane, in the roles of Professor Dumbledore, school's headmaster, his main collaborator, Professor McGonagall and the school's gamekeeper, Hagrid.

This film marks the start of one of the most acclaimed and profitable franchises in the twenty-first century cinema, where several acting careers met its beginning or end. The film practically doesn't have a single negative note: he managed to pick up a book that was already a huge success and amplify it astronomically without sacrificing its authenticity. Anyone who has read the book recognizes it in this film and sees the book's magic gaining life, body and shape. The special effects, the details of the scenario, the costumes (any similarity between the school robes and the traditional black cloaks of university students of Portugal is not a mere coincidence, since Rowling lived in Portugal and has even married a Portuguese) all contribute to make us feel that this movie is the book we read and we have on our hands. Phenomenal, one of the best adaptations of a novel.… Expand

É impossível, para um fan, não se emocionar nesse filme. Se você leu o livro, sabe do que estou falando. A adaptação respeita a obra original e tenta ser fidedigna as possible. Inclusive, talvez esse seja o filme mais fiel de toda a franquia.

A escolha dos atores foi certeira. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson e Rupert Grint formam um trio com uma boa química que funciona. Fora o sotaque britânico que é de apaixonar. Também vale a menção a Richard Harris, que apesar de não ser meu Dumbledore favorito, definitivamente é o mais bem adaptado.

Em quesitos técnicos o filme se torna balanceado. Aqui temos uma OST fantástica, talvez uma das mais conhecidas do planeta terra - e não é por menos. Além de emocionante, marca uma grande presença no filme, que definitivamente não seria o mesmo sem. Quanto aos efeitos especiais, eles deixam a desejar - mesmo pra época -, mas em alguns casos, como na "projeção" de Hogwarts, é bem satisfatória. A duração do filme foi muito bem escolhida- não é muito longo a cansar e nem a ponto de se distanciar muito da obra original, mesmo que tenham cortado uma quantidade significativas de coisas do livro. Sendo assim, é obvio que o universo/atmosfera não é tão rica quanto a dos livros, mas isso alguma vez já foi possível?!… Expand

The later films are not the greatest whilst the first film is an absolute masterpiece. Ironically it is one of the lowest rated. If you could travel back in time to the early 2000s you would quickly remember just how gigantic this film was. For YEARS, even after the 2nd film, it was this film that was constantly rerun on TV stations. It was HUGE and deservedly so.

The visuals are stunning, the pacing is fantastic, the dialogue is witty, the scary parts are truly terrifying, but most of all, the music is unforgettable and brilliant.

Harry's Wondrous World represents this movie so well. It makes you feel giddy with childish excitement while leaving you with an unmistakable sense of dread. JK Rowling owes a lot of her success to this masterpiece of a film.… Expand

Along the way, he meets two friends named Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger as they spend their natural lives at the school, but little do they know that an evil sorcerer plots to steal the magic stone known as The Sorcerer's Stone and they must find it and solve the mystery about the death of Harry's parents.

Wow. I was very speechless when I first saw this movie in theaters as a little child. To tell the truth, I've never read the book in which this movie was based on, but when I read it, the chapters showed the same thing that were included in the movie and I think it followed the book quite well.

What else can you say about it? The actors were very entertaining and had a lot of talent with their performances since they look like the same characters from the book. Daniel Radcliffe did very well as the main character (god bless him) and I can't say anything else about the rest of the actors because they did great as well as him.

The storyline was well-paced and the John Williams music score was very memorable and had a lot of emotion to it.

The CGI effects were great and the fantasy action was very good.

There's nothing negative to say about this movie and that's it.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a faithful adaptation of the book with excellent performances, great settings, and a well-paced storyline. Thumbs up from me.

The Harry Potter universe is a rich one that is filed with great fantasy and wonder which, at that point, wasn't that common.

Great visuals, nice acting and some masterful writing. Not to mention the grand set pieces,perfect wardrobe, and timeless musical score.

Perhaps the only real gripe I have with the first movie is that feels like one very long prologue,focusing a bit to much on introductions and setting up future plot points.

Daniel Radcliffe is very likable as Harry, and he is given solid support by a funny Rupert Grint and a good Emma Watson, though she was annoying at times. The scene stealer was definitely Robbie Coltrane; I actually can't imagine anyone else playing Hagrid, Coltrane was just hilarious. Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith were also great, but for me the standout was the late Richard Harris. Now I much prefer Harris's interpretation of Dumbledore. He was soft-spoken, and actually fitted the part better. Both of these qualities were lost in the interpretation that Michael Gambon gave. I am not saying that Michael Gambon was bad, he just wasn't my ideal choice for Harris's replacement. The film is fairly faithful to its source material, and looks very beautiful. However, it is a bit long, and very young children may find Voldemort too frightening. I know because I have triplet brother and sisters who saw it, and couldn't sleep for about a month after viewing. In conclusion, a very good film, well performed and quite dark. 8/10 Bethany Cox… Expand

I really like the darker tone the later movies were going for. This one is much more lighthearted. But my biggest concern with this movie is that it's not a focused movie. This movie is doing a great job introducing several things but while doing so it really forgets it's main plot with the sorcerer's stone. And that's why it really feels forced and weird when the movie focuses on that plot in the last half our of the movie. I also think younger kids won't understand all the stuff with the sorcerer's stone.
But still, it's not a bad movie. It's very entertaining, it's well written and looks good (even though the CGI really isn't all that great).… Expand

The fortunate beginning of the J.K.Rowling beloved saga. Harris, Rickman and Smith wears well in the roles; the adapatation is faithful to book, with several winks to Dickens and Agatha Christie. May be a good gift for Xmas or a birthday.

This movie is a breeze from its cold beginning to its warm, crisp end. Its characters are great, and the actors make them better. It is also better than its original source material.
