Harry Potter and the philosopher's stone

Synopsis:

On the day he turns eleven, Harry Potter learns that he is the son of two prominent wizards, from whom he has inherited magical powers. At Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he is educated with other children who also have special powers, he will learn everything necessary to be a wizard.

Review:

And very well indeed.

This movie represents exactly what Harry Potter is: pure magic. And I am not referring to the occupation of its protagonists, but to the sensation it produces in the reader / viewer. It is the feeling of believing that anything is possible, that the school we all dream of going to exists, that we can fly on a broomstick and face unimaginable dangers.

So I decided to only talk about the first one, and this is where this journey begins, this way of seeing these fantasies and crazy things that make us feel excited.

It is true that the story is the most childish and childish of the five released to date, and that Columbus wastes a lot of time (necessary, on the other hand) in presenting all the characters and environments, but that does not mean that it is an excellent adventure film for all audiences. The three young protagonists already pointed out excellent manners here, and the rest of the actors ... well, what to say about them. From Maggie Smith to the excellent Richard Harris (also the Dumbledore closest to the one in the book. A pity that he left us) to Alan Rickman or John Hurt, they all shine, whether their role is important or not.

To dream, entertain and admire the talent of Columbus and his team (that wonderful music by John Williams, those sets by Stuart Craig ...)

The best: The tone of the movie, 100% Harry Potter.

The worst: Nothing, except that all the other films, with the exception of the fifth, have been better, although that is not his fault.
