Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

I was hooked on the books the first time I picked one up about 2 years ago. I think I looked foreward to the movie coming out at least as much, if not more, than my children. I was not disappointed. I have listened to "experts" talk about how disappointing it was to have the movie follow the book. I watched the movie hoping and expecting it to follow the book. The book was the reason I wanted to see the movie. The direction and the acting was wonderful. Everyone did what I went to see the move for--they brought the book to life. I am sorry that some people couldn't accept the movie for what it was - a vastly entertaining, exciting, and magical 2 1/2 hours. I can't wait for it to come out on video, and am certainly looking foreward to The Chamber of Secrets coming out.
(As well as the 5th book!)

Harry strikes back!!!!

It was a good movie. It's not the best of the three so far. The "kids" are getting older and that kinda takes the novelty of them being kids out. They really should stop here. But, age aside, this one didn't have as many curious creatures as the previous two had. It was a decent movie, just nothing interesting like the previous two. I wish I would've seen it before I bought it.

Death to Cuaron

I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan and "Prisoner of Azkaban" is my favorite book in the series so far. I was looking very foward to seeing this movie. After seeing it, I was very disappointed. Cuaron, the new director, butchered the original story. There was many mistakes and there were too many things left out of the movie.
Cuaron changed the entire setting of Hogwarts. The grounds were completely changed. He added a stupid bridge to get into the school and changed the location of the Gryffindor common room.
Many scenes from the book were also left out. Cuaron did not put in the back story of the Marauder's Map, how Moody, Wormtail, Padfoot, and Prongs were Harry's father and his friends. There were very little scenes of Harry and his friends in class. The movie ended without closure like the first two. It ended, instead of them leaving on the train of the End of the Year Feast, ended with a freeze-frame of Harry flying on his Firebolt. There is much more that was changed or left out, but there isn't enough time to mention it all.
On a whole the movie was ok, but for fans of the book the movie did not live up to the story. Cuaron should be charged with TREASON for this abomination!

GO HARRY POTTER!!!!

I saw the last two Potter films and they were fine, but they were children's movies start to finish. There is nothing wrong with that, I enjoyed them when I saw them. Yet as I got older they appealed to me less and less. At one point I decided not to go see the next movies. But on the day the Prisoner of Azkaban came out I decided to go see it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised.
I felt the same felling that I had felt when I first read the book. There numerous changes from book to movie as with the previous movies, yet that is not what I am talking about. It had the feel of the books, it moved at the same pace, had as much mystery, character development, and the same amount of joy when there was a chance of Harry moving away from the Durslys for ever. I really felt like I was reading the book again.
This last paragraph is for all who gave this movie a bad review. First, I hated the ending too. Second, I will not deny that this movie left a lot out, but this book probably had the most new info thus far, so I am amazed that the movie makers that the movie makers got in as much as they did. Concerning the new locations I had a little trouble with them too, but you shouldn't let that bother you, at least they looked better than in previous movies. If you are a true stickler about the locations and the last sentence didn't change your mind then keep in mind that Hogwarts is a magical place that changes and grows. Last if you think the books and movies are evil I say this, no one is forcing you to read or watch the movies, and if you really want to get rid of evil than give food to the hungry or donate to a charity. It would be unwise to waste you're time protesting a children's book.

Isn't it amazing that I go through this whole review without using the word magic?

One of the best films of 2001.

Harry Potter is one of the most hyped movies of the year and I am happy to inform all viewers that this is one heck of a movie and certainly lives up to expectations. The movie literally took my breath away with its brilliant design and set decoration, and I had to remind my heart to keep beating during the Quidditch match. Harry Potter is a movie so vibrant and brilliant to look at, that when you leave the cinema, you still have a dark, candle-lit Hogwarts flashing in front of you. This movie has heaps of heart and is a joy to watch. When the credits flashed I was pleading with the silver screen for the film to continue going! The acting in the movie is highly satisfactory. Daniel Radcliffe is a very believable and perfectly cast Harry Potter, while Emma Watson has some brilliant lines in a character so intelligent and intriguing she steals some of the scenes. More of those scenes are stolen by a gobsmacking Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, who is a great entertainer and a brilliant and un-shy performer in front of the screen. Adult actors Robbie Coltrane, Richard Harris, Ian Hart, Maggie Smith and especially Alan Rickman are all excellent and are setting themselves up for career-best moves with the Harry Potter saga. Chris Columbus have never directed better. With moving pictures, staircases, 3-headed dogs, and a brilliant and breathtaking castle, he has put it all together and has shined out the movie more than anybody else in the crew. But the person you have to give credit to is J.K. Rowling. This woman, once a poor and struggling woman writing Harry Potter books in a caf?is now a billionaire and has some written some damn good material and deserves a big round of applause. She truly brings out the magic in the movie, and it is because of her ideas and sheer brilliance that we get the masterpiece of a result that Harry Potter is. Overall, this is a destined classic, and one of the few movies that had me in a toothy grin throughout.
