Plot
Harry Potter is a seemingly ordinary boy, living with his uncaring relatives, the Dursleys in Surrey, England. On his eleventh birthday, Harry learns from a mysterious stranger, Rubeus Hagrid, that he is actually a wizard, famous in the Wizarding World for surviving an attack by the evil Lord Voldemort when Harry was only a baby. Voldemort killed Harry's parents, but his attack on Harry rebounded, leaving only a lightning-bolt scar on Harry's forehead and rendering Voldemort powerless. Hagrid reveals to Harry that he has been invited to attend Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. After buying his school supplies from the hidden London street, Diagon Alley, Harry boards the train to Hogwarts via the concealed Platform 9¾ in King's Cross Station.

MOVIE REVIEW
Review
First of all, this movie is meant for children, but there are many things, specialy the theme of the movie, that adults will also enjoy. It is very faithful to the book, that is based on. The movie screams of joy. The set design is breath-taking. The costums, set and music score makes you feel like you are on a adventure with our trio.Special effects are beautiful. The three main charecters share great chemistry and you realy do feel their frendship. The mistery in the movie is very interesting, despite being a chidren movie. The performances that stand out to me are by Alan Rickman, Robbie Coltrane, Maggie Smith and Richard Harris.
This is children fantasy film at it's finest. There are a few minor plot holes, but that is expected considering this is movie set in the magical world. All around, the movie is well spend family time with strong massage and story that will make you want to continoue watching this series of films. (Oh, and it's Levi-O-sa, not Leviosa-R!).

My Thoughts
What can I say? It is not THE best Harry Potter movie by far, but it leads us into the magical univers perfectly. I love the myssterious plot of the movie. I just wish I didn't know who is "the guy" each time I re-watch it.I have many memories of this movie. As a kid I re-watched it a billion times. Chris Columbus is truly my favourite children movie director (he also directed first two Home Alone movies, my two favourite Christmas movies).
After all these years, each time I watch it again, I discover something new, coz' of the richness of the set designe. I can't resist to smile every time I see "Chris Columbus" at the end of the movie. It's true magic on your screen.
