Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

LET THE MAGIC BEGIN.

Harry Potter has lived under the stairs at his aunt and uncle's house his whole life. But on his 11th birthday, he learns he's a powerful wizard—with a place waiting for him at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As he learns to harness his newfound powers with the help of the school's kindly headmaster, Harry uncovers the truth about his parents' deaths—and about the villain who's to blame.

    An emotional rollercoaster. The soundtrack was beautiful and really added to the experience.
    Rating: 4.5

  • Brendan McCann
    A decent watch, though the pacing felt a bit slow in the middle. The cinematography was great, though.

    Way too long and dragged out. It had potential, but it lost me halfway through.

    An absolute snooze fest. The pacing was terrible, and it felt like nothing ever happened.
