I'm no philosopher but......

Advantages: Good fun and entertaining
Disadvantages: long and not as good as the book

...the fifth DVD in the Harry Potter series Harry Potter and The Order of the Pheonix, I have decided to review the previous four films. This is the first of the four - The 2001 Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone (or Sorceror's Stone for our US friends). Before I start I must state that I am a big kid and love Harry Potter but don't worry that doesn't mean that I will babble on inanely about how brilliant the film is despite its flaws. Like anything ...
...stories about the boy wizard Harry Potter. Born to wizard parents, killed when he was a baby by the evil dark lord Voldemort, Harry had been brought up by Muggles (non magical folk) until the age of 11 not knowing who he really was or his significance in the magical world. In the Philosopher's Stone the reader/viewer and Harry begin a journey of discovery into this magical world and discover his past, his new world and glimpse his future.

...I don't think the first Harry Potter film can be beated. The second and third films came close. But the sheer impack, magic and originality of 'The Philosopher's Stone' was completely new back then, and its appeal continues. This film has a heart-warming quality, perhaps because Harry's story calls out to a lot of people. Harry is an ordinary boy, bullied by his uncle, aunt and cousin, an orphan who believes his parents died in a car crash. But ...

...as the book') but young Harry Potter fans can be very persistent. (As can the older ones - I think my wife was more excited than anyone about seeing it!) How to introduce the film? Anyone who's read the books will know exactly what to expect and will only want to know how it compares. Those who have yet to become familiar with the charms of J.K. Rowling's world-famous wizard but can't help but be interested by the hype, will need a wee bit more ...
...miserably by his adoptive family, Harry is amazed and surprised to find out that he's really a wizard - and quite a famous one too. His parents were actually killed by an evil wizard, Voldemort (sorry, "You-Know-Who"!) but Harry somehow repelled the attack, nearly destroying the murderous magician. Harry is left with a lightning scar on his forehead and a legacy he finds it difficult to live up to when he is invited to the wizard school, Hogwarts. ...

Sorry Harry

Advantages: Fantastic sets, and some amazing special effects. Adheres broadly to the storyline of the book
Disadvantages: Chunks of the story are missed out or details changed for no reason. Child actors are generally very poor!

...to the cinema to watch Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. Anyone who has read my ops on the Harry Potter books will know that I am a huge fan of the stories, so I was very excited at the prospect of going to see the film. I was disappointed. In comparison to the books, the film was a complete let down. I suppose I shouldn’t have been too optimistic, as I can’t recall ever having been bowled over by a film adaptation of a book which I have ...
...author of the Harry Potter books, had been fully involved throughout the making of the film, I still had high hopes for this adaptation. For anyone who has been living on the moon for the past few months, I will briefly explain the story, although the main part of this opinion will focus on my views on the adaptation. Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is the first in a series of books (four so far) about Harry Potter, an eleven year old boy, ...

Advantages: The kids will love it.
Disadvantages: A worthy attempt, that falls short.

...of our small wizard friend Harry Potter. J.K.Rowlings great accomplishment of imagination and wit is spellbinding stuff and has understandably enthralled generations. My quarrel is with the film only, and has nothing whatsoever to do with simply slagging off HP as its becoming fashionable to do. First let me say how excited i have been by all the hype and rumours that have been seeping out ever since production began, then we had the Harry Potter ...
...The trouble is that what Harry looks like is in our heads, and our idea of Harry is totally different from anyone else’s. Therefore it was always going to be tricky trying to find someone that satisfied our imaginations, he was not the only hard piece of casting that had to be done as most of the other characters are described fairly specifically. Because of this we inevitably ended up with either a cast that looked great but couldn’t ...

HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS

Advantages: Loads of extras and behind the scene footage.
Disadvantages: The slug scene is quite disturbing.

aggressive tree! Another great example was when Ron?s spell backfired and he cast the ?eat slugs? spell on himself. (This scene was quite disturbing) EXTRAS This double DVD disc set has got plenty of extras to offer. Disc One Special Features On disc one you'll find a trailer for the film, a "Year One at Hogwarts" that gives you a quick guide to the events of the first film, and a cast and crew list. Disc Two Special Features While the idea of turning disc two of the "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" DVD into a giant puzzle where the right answers unlocked extra features, was interesting, it did frustrate a lot of fans. That element is gone here, and along with the expected mix of child-friendly special features, there's also some material that will appeal to a more adult audience. The 19 deleted scenes are in ...

Review of Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets (DVD)

A wizard purchase! Harry Potter - Years 1-5 is not to be missed..

Advantages: Offers freedom to watch all films so you can keep a continual track of the story.
Disadvantages: Although enjoyable, the later films are more compelling to view than those before.

As an avid Potter fan, it is difficult to hide a natural joy at the chance to watch all 5 films back to back in a complete box set. The lengthy process of filming has meant that the earlier releases of Harry Potter and The Philosopher's Stone I have purchased are actually on the old school format of VHS! The box set experience not only provides extended quality by means of the DVD format but allows the viewer to watch the character grow up from film to film without delay. The oustanding performance of Professor Snape, played by Alan Rickman, never fails to grip and terrify, particularly as the later films begin to introduce a dark and sinister edge that is suggestive of what awaits in those still to come. Harry, Ron and Hermione remain a likable trio throughout, yet their obvious progression towards maturity results in momentrary ...

Review of Harry Potter - Years 1-5 (Box Set) (DVD)

Disc features still fall short

Advantages: Good film overall, good menu navigation
Disadvantages: lack of features

suprise to round off the film). Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets is an incredibly enjoyable film, for both children and adults alike. However, as with the Philosopher's Stone dvd, this one also falls short where actual disc content is concerned. You have the obligatory subtitles and trailers, but when it comes to the second disc, it's rather light on extras. The special features consist of a tour of Dumbledore's office and a selection of short interviews with the cast. This is the main problem. You navigate your way to the cast section and select a question from a list, which gives you the choice of answer from the children/students or the adults/teachers. This is quite a nice feature, although, the interviews are much too short. It's hard to grasp what the making of the film was really like. Another downfall is the lack of actor ...
