“I feel, next to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Harry Potter and the Sorcereru0026#39;s Stone is the best book-to-movie adaptation that Iu0026#39;ve ever seen. The sets were stunning – the actors were first rate – the effects were breathtaking. The film flowed quite smoothly in itu0026#39;s transition from page to screen, never tripping on the awkward conventions that other books on film have struggled with. The screenplay, by Steven Kloves, stripped away all unnecessary elements to get to the root of the story. Though many events from the book were excluded, the essential ones made it to the film. And it makes for one smooth story and very enjoyable movie-going experience.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eMany kudos to Chris Columbus and the rest of the Harry Potter cast/crew for not turning this movie into what it easily could have become: a 2 and a half hour commercial advertisement for action figures and collectibles, kidu0026#39;s meals and fast food tie-ins, soft drinks and snack products, etc. and instead focused on bringing J.K. Rowlingu0026#39;s story to life as accurately and as lovingly as it deserves. There has been much speculation on whether Columbus was the correct choice for the first two installments of the series and I say to that, Yes. I feel that he accomplished what most would have failed. He has proven, at least to me, that Diagon Alley truly exists – if only I could find the right brick to tap on. The world of Harry Potter is no longer fantasy to me, but instead a place where any of us mere Muggles could hope to visit, one day.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eOne of my favorite moments, is what Iu0026#39;m going to refer to as the Adrenaline Sequence. By Adrenaline Sequence, I mean the sequence in a movie that for all intents and purposes, doesnu0026#39;t necessarily propel the story, but gives the audience a huge theatrical payoff, ala the Pod Race sequence in The Phantom Menace. The Adrenaline Sequence for this particular movie is the Quidditch sequence. I was very happy to finally see the u0026#39;hockey/soccer hybrid on a broomsticku0026#39; come to life. The Quidditch Sequence is, by far, my favorite sequence in the whole film. The scene is dizzying in itu0026#39;s violence and itu0026#39;s one breathless moment after another. My hat goes off to Columbus and his team for succeeding in making this scene as memorable as it should be.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eHarry Potter and the Sorcereru0026#39;s Stone is a fantastic movie for children of all ages. Fans and non-fans alike will enjoy this colorful story of good versus evil and the friendships that endure.”
