4 1/2 out of 5 Shovels
An orphan discovers that he is a wizard. Harry Potter is brought into a strange world full of witches and sorcerers but also evil. The lad soon learns he was the boy who lived.

As the school year proceeds, Harry makes friends with Hermione Granger, Ron Weasley, and Rubeus Hagrid. He also makes enemies with Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe, and Gregory Goyle.

His biggest enemy appears to be Voldemort himself. With the help of a professor, he goes after the Sorcerer’s Stone. A stone of red hue has the ability to make the user live forever.

The young actos, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, are wonderful. With the older support case, this movie steers clear from campiness and keeps a serious tone.

This PG movie doesn’t feel 152 minutes long. Heartwarming, suspenseful, and an adventure for children as well as adults.
