Based on the popular first book of the series by J.K. Rowling, in the normal human world--the world of "Muggles"--Harry is a nobody, treated like dirt by the aunt and uncle who begrudgingly inherited him when his parents were killed by the evil Voldemort. A mysterious letter, delivered by the friendly giant Hagrid, wrenches Harry from his dreary, Muggle-ridden existence. It is an acceptance letter to the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Soon enough, Harry finds himself at Hogwarts with his owl Hedwig and in the world of wizards, he is famous as a survivor of the wizard who tried to kill him.
This is one of the better Harry Potter movies. It stuck quite well to the book, and you definitely knew what was going on even if you didn't read the book. The acting was tremendous and they had some of the best actors on the cast. Alan Rickman was deliciously superb as Professor Snape, and Maggie Smith was great as Professor McGonnagal. 5/5
