Plot Outline:
Lord Voldemort, an evil and powerful dark wizard, has just been
defeated. When he tried to kill a one-year-old boy, Harry Potter
(Daniel Radcliffe), the killing curse rebounded upon him, destroying
his body. Harry is left an orphan with a lightning-bolt scar on his
forehead, Voldemort having killed his parents, Lily (Geraldine
Somerville) and James (Adrian Rawlins) Potter. Professors Dumbledore
(Richard Harris) and McGonagall (Dame Maggie Smith) and Gamekeeper
Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) leave him on the doorstep of his
ultra-conventional, insensitive, negligent Muggle (non-magical)
relatives, the Dursley family, who take him in. Harry's relatives
decide to conceal his magical heritage from him and make him live in
a cupboard under the stairs for ten years.
Shortly before Harry's eleventh birthday, he receives a letter
addressed specifically to him. His outraged uncle, however, reads
and burns it before Harry has a chance to look at the contents. The
sender does not give up, and the Dursleys receive successively
larger numbers of the same correspondence. Soon, his Uncle Vernon
(Richard Griffiths) becomes so paranoid that the Dursleys, with
Harry in tow, hide in a hut on a small island to escape. That night
(which happens to be before Harry's birthday), he is visited by an
enormous man named Hagrid who bursts through the locked door of the
hut. With Hagrid holding the Dursleys at bay, Harry finally reads
his letter, in which he learns he has been invited to study magic at
Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The next day Harry and
Hagrid leave the hut and head to Diagon Alley in London (the secret
magical location hidden behind the famous wizarding pub The Leaky
Cauldron). Harry enters the wizarding world for the first time,
learns to his surprise that he is famous, and meets the new Hogwarts
Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Quirrell (Ian
Hart). He takes the train to Hogwarts from Platform Nine and
three-quarters, befriending Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), and meeting
Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), a Muggle-born witch.

Comments:
When I
knew the film was being made, I thought how could they make a film that
would be up to the standard of such a perfect book. But they did! Sure
they missed bits out but they captured the essence of the book
brilliantly. One member of the cast was mis-cast for me but my children
disagreed.I even found myself believing they were flying and not
wondering "how are they doing that?" So 10 out 10 Warner Brothers. Bring
on the next one!
