Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)

 


Director: Chris Columbus

Producer: David Heyman

Cast: Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley) Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) Ian Hart (Professor Quirrell).

The first movie in the Harry Potter series, Philosopher’s Stone (a.k.a Sorcerer’s stone) based on the book is super!

The movie starts with Albus Dumbledore, Headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry placing Harry Potter at his remaining family’s doorstep. Ten years later, Harry receives a letter to go to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, which his horrible muggle family reluctantly agrees to. Journeying to Hogwarts School on the Hogwarts Express train, Harry makes friends with Ronald ‘Ron’ Weasley and Hermione Granger, and becomes enemies with Draco Malfoy, Vincent Crabbe and Gregory Goyle. At Hogwarts, Harry, Ron and Hermione get sorted into Gryffindor House and Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle get sorted into Slytherin House (the houses are Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff, and Slytherin). One day, Harry, Ron, and Hermione gets lost in the school and they encounter a three-headed dog named Fluffy owned by the Hogwarts gamekeeper, Rubeus Hagrid, guarding a mysterious trap-door. Want to know more? Watch the movie!

Harry Potter is definitely extremely exciting but Philosopher’s stone is a bit boring. I am fine with that since it was the first Harry Potter book. I read the book and watched the movie. I actually managed to read the book at the same time as the movie! Hagrid is silly, very silly. So is Argus Filch, the caretaker of Hogwarts.  No flaws, except the fact that the climax is a bit clichéd.

I wholeheartedly recommend this movie because:

  1.          The acting is epic.
  2.          The plotline is awesome!
  3.           The portrayal of Hogwarts was Great!
  4.            And so was Hagrid.
  5.            Albus Dumbledore is epic.
  6.            Great movie and book, man
  7.            Overall, THE MOVIE IS EPIC!

Oh my god, this movie is really a ride. Omkar Lele, or Ole, is a widower and single father who’s main aim is to live life at its fullest. Contrastingly, his son Aditya Lele, or Aale, is an extreme workaholic, constantly having calls, conferences, meetings, presentations, and having very little, if any time for himself and his family. How much ever Ole tries to get Aale to do anything, he never manages to do anything with him. One time, after Aale fails to appear for a dinner at home, Ole, in sadness, apparently flees the house. Confused, Aale and their house helper, Baburao, rush to the police station and ask everybody about Ole’s whereabouts. Turns out, Ole was always at home, simply hiding. It was all a ploy to get Aale to stay at home and cancel his meeting in Delhi. Du
