Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Who's in it: Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Alan Rickman, Robbie Coltrane, Richard Bremmer

What's it about: Harry Potter(Radcliffe) has been famous since the beginning of his life. Voldemort(Bremmer) killed his parents, yet he survived the 'Killing Curse'When half-giant keeper of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Hagrid(Coltrane), comes on his 11th birthday, he discovers he's a wizard. Harry and Hagrid go to get his school supplies. At the bank, Hagrid gets out a mysterious bag. On the train to Hogwarts he meets Ron Weasley(Grint) and Hermoine Granger(Watson). They immediatley start unraveling the mystery of the Sorcerer's Stone which prolongs life. Voldemort is trying to come back and finish off Harry. Professor Snape(Rickman) is looking quite suspicious

What I Think: Book was great. J.K. Rowling is one of my favourites. Rickman does a great job. He really had the right stuff to play the evil Professor Snape. The beginning careers for three young people. Radcliffe was great. Cute little accent. Grint is adorable. He just puffs up those cheeks when he smiles and you just want to hug him. Watson has the most uncontrollable hair but acts well. Alot of detail was left out from the book and that is what made the movie not so great. Book was definetely better than the movie this time.
