Compared to the other big fantasy film from 2001 this one just dont cut it. Its great to see hogwarts on the screen, but so much has been cut.

I liked the way Harry made his first experiences with magic but the actors are so young therefore their acting still lacks. It's nice for a fan but you should not expect too much. It sticks close to the book and has it's charm though of course as an adult you won't be that easily caught by it's charm.

The first two Harry Potter's are just way too kiddy for my tastes. It's not bad (check that: The beginning is bad because the aunt/uncle/cousin are way too ridiculous) but I just can't really get into it. The kid actors don't really feel like the characters yet and there are way too many scenes that go nowhere. I would recommend people watch it who want to watch the whole series but it's a shame that the first and second are the two worst.

I can't bring myself to get too emotionally invested in this series (mainly because I don't read shitty children's literature), but speaking as an outsider, I thought this was dull, silly, and forgettable. Take that, kids.

A great fantasy movie. It's also the lighter of the saga, apart from dark aspects like those after it, the most ingenious one. It's a pleasure to see, enjoyable, and probably a bit underrated compared to how some people overrate worse older fantasy films. A wonderful way to enter a new world, a new saga, of magic and fantasy, as it could be if it was real and still exist today, hightly organized and hidden from 'muggles'. This one, with 3rd and 7(+8)th are probably the best of the adaptations.
