My Review

This is first movie out of Harry Potter movies I have read the books and now looking forward to review the movies started now with first Harry Potter movie below get ready.

So first movie I see in theaters years ago with a friend so this first time in years I see Harry Potter movies in years maybe this good to get my mind refresh on the series as well I am sure the movie series will indeed do that so how does the movie open with wizard and professor mcgonagall who was in a form of cat turn human she is top teacher of magic school and is very good at magic as well so her and the wizard meet on street there rumors of a boy that is important brought by hagid and they decided to leave him with his aunt and uncle also the boy has a mark on forehead well then it goes years later he is all grow up being bullied bye his cousin and his aunt who is rude as well so Harry got Bully from them.

Then at zoo Harry did get a little revenge some by free a snake but got catch by the uncle and was ground it may look bad now but I am sure things will change though as owl sure up with mail for Harry Potter but uncle try to get rid of them but they keep on coming so uncle run away but then hagid show up and tell the story to him thank god then he see cousin pig out on cake and did magic on him in a funny way then he give Harry a choice to go school of magic or stay there and well he choice to go I would too then staying with them family fools.

First he need to get money so he goes to bank as they unlock his dad safe which turns out be he rich and left his son lots of coins keep a eye out too the one that open safe is a familler voice you see in movies before soon as I heard I indeed know who actor was pretty cool though.

Later Harry try to find a wand he has a few choice but did not fit unit guy found him one then later Harry ask about how is mom died she was killed by evil lord Voldemort and he try to kill Harry Potter as a baby but something stop him hagid said and he still out there as well so they go train station and he told him to go this number he had a go and Harry ask him a question and he was gone guess he on his own to try and find a way to Hogwarts school so with a little help from Ron and Ginny as well keep a eye on her as well her character is very important for series here as well so Harry goes though and now there the train to hogwarts school this where he become friends with Ron as they eat the whole cart of candy which will probably give give them stomach aces later lol then they meet hermione and well made friends with her as well them 3 are very very important characters of the film as well though the series.

Then you get sort into classes by a hat which potter got sort into gyffindor which is good magic good thing he did not get sorting into bad one came close though before that he meet snape and then his forehead hurts him does snape here have a bone to pick with Harry then Harry reads newspaper later and see bank vault him and hagid went too was broken into hmm very interesting.

Then it goes to broom training or flying lessons and the professor see him fly and makes him new seeker so now he got to learn to play like his father then later after class Ron made fun of hermione and then she runs into bathroom crying bad news a troll is out and so 3 friends battle it in a small battle 5 points taken and 5 points giving to Gryffindor for damn luck laugh at tha but ok.

After that seek game has started what you do is get ball as it slytherin vs gryffindor battle the game goes get the ball in the air and throw though the hop to get 10 points most points win but get golden seeker anytime and it over whole playing someone is messing with potter big time look like snape maybe hermione went over there and save the day as Harry got the golden ball and win for his team.

Then after that Christmas time everyone head home but Ron and Harry stay as he gets a invisible clock or blacket it is very cool it is now he can maybe what go on but he has to be careful as well.

Soon as Harry got to hogwarts odd things has happen his forehead hurting someone let troll out and someone messing with his broom someone hates potter and is playing games with him as well remember lord Voldemort well May of got first small look at him later as something was drinking the blood of a unicorn turns out May of been lord Voldemort lucky someone saved Harry though or lord could of grab him there nice build up though.

So big ending is coming up for first movie as they try and find out secret of sorcerer stone they go though guards of the gate first 3 head dog lucky they get though then giant weeds trap them they made it though that but more traps are throw them the final one before getting there is a game of chess and they are players and they can get killed for real ron played the game good but put his life on the line so Harry can pass so Ron got took out as Harry said chess mate and that it so now Harry.

Well then truth comes out it was coward teacher the whole time who was lord Voldemort this was first meeting again between them he was after the stone but he finds out Harry weaks him by touch him as he beat him for now but his soul left so this is not the end of lord Voldemort though but for now Harry win this battle as his soul goes though Harry knocking him out as Harry woke up in hospital wing as wizard and him talk and he said Voldemort will be back.

So one last thing who win the battle of points and came in first which school wins the house cup well with some added points the Gryffindor won the house cup as school years ends so now it back to his aunts and goofing uncle for now as movie ends with train leaving a very good ending.

Well what a good started it was fun watching this one again and see it again they did a good job in this one good acting good effects of magic and great build as well they made Voldemort scary looking as well the only thing I did not like was his family being so mean just jealous I guess and so after watching this is it close to books sort of but I do think you should read first book might have more then movie sometimes they can not fit everything in movie so just letting you but will say they did a very job with this and next week looking forward to review the next movie of the series which will take a bit as there lots of movies so every Saturday night for reviews will be Harry Potter movies reviews unit the end this is end of first movie review unit next week have a good rest of your weekend.

Harry Potter and the sorcerer’s stone (2001) rating 8/10
