Harry Potter and Sorcerers Stone Movie! 1/9/20

Many people have read the favorite series of many, Harry Potter. The books have been loved by many. The movies however… not cutting it for me. This could very quickly and easily be turned into a rant about random little things!

I’ve written about the pros and cons of the movie, but my overall rating is at the bottom!

Complaints about Harry Potter and the Sorcerers Stone:

In the Harry Potter series movies, none of the characters, settings, or events are done justice. In the Sorcerers Stone book we are introduced to a character named Peeves, who is a poltergiest and causes trouble all around Hogwarts castle. In the movie, they cut out the character. My question is who does this??? Has the director even read the book???

Positives about the movie:

While there are some things wrong with this movie, what I have to say is the special effects are really good for the school ghost, like Nearly Headless Nick, (Gryfinndor’s house ghost) Also, in the books the stairs move around the castle and switch where they lead to, this is the only movie where that really happens. While you might catch a minor glimpse of the staircases in the other movies, it just doesn’t compare to the scene’s in the Sorcerer’s stone.

The Chess scene (Spoliers Ahead!) This is my opinion was the only puzzle (the famous trio, Ron, Hermione, and Harry had to figure out to stop Voldemort.) In the movie done properly, it was very detailed and was even better than the books scene. It was more emotional and really made you realize what good friends these eleven year olds are.

Diagonally was really well put together. Olivanders Wand Shop was on point, even the shop owner turning out to be exactly as described in the book. Which was kinda creepy! The leaky cauldron was also very accurate.

Overall I would give this movie a 8 out of 10 stars, just because I’m holding grudge about cutting out characters. Not cool. But it recives an 8 out of 10 for the wondeful acting, humor, and accuracy with characters like Harry’s glasses being broken and Hermone fixing them! I recomend this movie! Thanks for reading my 1st post!
