Here's an event movie that holds up to being an event. This filmed version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, adapted from the wildly popular book by J.K. Rowling, stunningly brings to life Harry Potter's world of Hogwarts, the school for young witches and wizards. The greatest strength of the film comes from its faithfulness to the novel, and this new cinematic world is filled with all the details of Rowling's imagination, thanks to exuberant sets, elaborate costumes, clever makeup and visual effects, and a crème de la crème cast, including Maggie Smith, Richard Harris, Alan Rickman, and more. Especially fine is the interplay between Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his schoolmates Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson), as well as his protector, the looming Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane). The second-half adventure--involving the titular sorcerer's stone--doesn't translate perfectly from page to screen, ultimately because of the film's fidelity to the novel; this is a case of making a movie for the book's fans, as opposed to a transcending film. Writer Steve Kloves and director Chris Columbus keep the spooks in check, making this a true family film, and with its resourceful hero wide-eyed and ready, one can't wait for Harry's return. Ages 8 and up. --Doug Thomas

Good Upgrade,
This review is from: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: Ultimate Collector's Edition [Blu-ray] (Blu-ray)
A good upgrade if you love the movies and special features. Additional footage offers more insight into the world created for the movies. Booklet of pictures a nice feature as well.

Harry's Adventures Begin,
This review is from: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone: Ultimate Collector's Edition (DVD)
I enjoyed being able to have both the theatrical and extended versions of the movie to be able to compare the differences. The extras are a good way of being able to actively participate in Hogwarts world. I enjoyed the interviews with the principal figures looking back at the first days of the set and creating the world for cinematic view.

the movie that starts it off,
This review is from: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (DVD)
the movie is a little slow and dated, but it's the introduction, it lets you know what/how everything was so that you know where it's going.
