You can tell it’s a bit older and doesn’t have near the budget of the later films. Now, time does age this movie, more than most of the series. Appearing for the first time on screen, seeing the characters mixed with the exceptional score by John Williams, I felt fully immersed in the world of Harry Potter! Privet Drive, the owls, the deluminator, Dumbledore, McGonagall, and Hagrid. Within the first scene rested the hopes and expectations of millions and millions of people, children and adults, and my goodness did it deliver. It’s remarkable every time and the audience has so much fun with it! Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s StoneĬF Score: 🍿 🍿 🍿 🍿 If you want to host a viewing party/make an evening out of it for you and your friends and/or family, stay tuned, I’ve got some great ideas at the bottom of the post ! movie review So far, I’ve seen Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix. I’ve seen the Nashville Symphony do special screenings where they live score the film as you watch.

It was like watching a dream come to life. I was the one that introduced my family to the series, so I felt it was only fair. It was my sister’s 13th birthday and I tagged along for her party. I remember going to see the first one in theaters. The movies encapsulated the magic expressed in the books for me. Two years later, the movies started coming out. Instantly, I was hooked on this story about a boy wizard and his friends battling the darkest forces in their world, slightly mixed with ours.

It was the fall of my fourth grade year and my teacher would pick a book to read to us every month, and one very fortunate month she picked this one. Are you a fan of the Harry Potter books? I loved them as a child - teenager and adult, too.Īs though it was yesterday, I remember the first time someone read this book to me.
