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.

    The perfect blend of action, humor, and heart. One of the best movies I've seen in years.

    A fun, light-hearted movie that's perfect for a weekend watch. Not too deep, but enjoyable.
    Rating: 3.5

  • Nico Hamilton
    Boring and uninspired. I struggled to stay awake, and the characters were forgettable.

  • Rylan Garcia
    Great concept, poorly executed. There were too many plot holes, and the ending felt rushed.
    Rating: 2.5

  • Brendan McCann
    An overhyped movie that failed to deliver. I didn’t connect with the characters or the plot.
