Jcadden76 (64 KP) rated Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001) in Movies

Jun 12, 2018

A perfect start to a perfect set of movies!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is a perfect start to the Harry Potter series. The creators of the movie series really hit it out of the park with the kid stars in this one. Not only were they perfectly cast but they also grew into the roles.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone takes the gang on this magical journey that is very light-hearted and beautiful. This is the "brightest" of the movies and it does the heavy-lifting of setting up the entire series.

Movie Rating

The doctor getting shot and killed immediately after walking out the TARDIS into gang territory in America is just priceless (1 more)

All the ridiculous extra rooms in the TARDIS like why does the Tardis have a giant ancient dungeon in there

The cringy leftover Terminator 2 special effects (0 more)

It's a hell of a lot bigger on the inside

Overall the movie is very weak and does a poor job of capturing the magic of Doctor Who and why British audiences love it

But it has enough weirdness and ridiculousness that any Doctor Who fan should watch it

I received a free copy of the book through the Goodreads Giveaways program and voluntarily chose to review.

For the animals of Doe's Circus, life is hard. At the mercy of the ringmaster and his tyrannical gang of showmen, the petting zoo animals long to escape.

Written from the perspective of the animals, the story takes you through how they react to the abuse they suffer, their determination to survive, and their plan to escape.

With superb characterization, the story is well written. It's dark and suspenseful with a surprise ending that left somewhat disappointed and slightly traumatized.
