10/10
Fine adaptation of a children's classic.
5 June 2003
The first in the Harry Potter series of movies does the book series justice by not only staying true to the book core but by capturing the book's magic and heart. Daniel Radcliffe is an excellent choice for the role of Harry. He captures the pale innocents of his character with ease. Rupert Grint and Emma Watson are just as good as Ron and Hermione, Harry's best friends. They capture their characters essence with a natural ease. Richard Harris is perfect as Dumbledore; He brings a strong center of claim to his character and the movie as well.

Chris Columbus does the fans proud by staying true to the roots of the story by not watering down the drama and tension, keeping up with the sprit of JK. Rowling Novels.

The series is in good hands.
