Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is the first film adaptation of the beloved Harry Potter series. The director of this film is Chris Columbus.

Harry Potter is an 11-year-old boy who suddenly finds out that he is a wizard. He lives with his uncaring Muggle aunt, uncle, and cousin since his parents died when he was a baby. They were murdered by a dark and powerful evil wizard named Lord Voldemort. Harry would be dead too, but was miraculously saved, making him something of a legend in the magic world.

Upon learning of his guarded magic roots, Harry gets enrolled in Hogwarts – a British school for witches and wizards. While there he learns to come into his own, meet people that are actually good to him, and learn more of his dark past.

This film introduces a lot about the magic world, the imagination of the writers was transferred quite impressively through the movie, such as Quidditch, spells, magic subjects,…

The film begins to get throbbing when Harry Potter and his friends discover an evil plot of a school teacher, to take advantage of Harry Potter to steal the magic stone. As it turns out, this teacher was being manipulated by Voldermort. Ending the first movie, with their wits and the protection of the principal Dumbledore, Harry Potter and his friends are still safe.

The episode was a huge hit, opening the series of 7 extremely successful episodes later. For me, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone was the most impressive episode.
