      Editing … It didn't matter which one they went with because literally the only thing they needed for audience recognition was "Harry Potter", but they should have stuck with one. Shooting extra footage is a waste of time and money for a non-issue.

      Editing … I'm not really bothered. I mean it didn't really affect me and it happened over fifteen years ago. That doesn't mean I'm not entitled to call out a dumb thing when I see it.

    #Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is and always will be amazing for me. I love the magic universe of Hogwarts, mostly the spells, the gigantic school and its protagonists. I watched the movie before reading the book but I still think they shouldn't have cut some importants scenes, for exemple during the trials at the end. Contrary to what one might think, I identified myself to #Harry Potter much more than #Hermione Granger (even if he may have upset me sometimes), but I won't lie, I find them a bit much heroic for their ages. Someday, I'd love to possess a wand from #Ollivanders or even a #Gryffindor scarf.

    So apparently this movie came out 14 years ago, I would of been 8 years old at the time. I remember the movie quite fondly, it was definitely one of the big ones of my childhood. Now the problem with that is that childhood me had no fucking clue what he was talking about, I mean this would be around the same time that I thought 90s Adam Sandler movies were actually funny. So it really is no surprise to me that nowadays I don't quite like this movie as much as I did 14 years ago; though not to say that childhood me was all wrong, I still to this day adore Forest Gump. I just found the whole experience this time around to be just so incredibly insufferable at times, it is definitely more of a kid movie then I though it would be - that's not to say that I find the movie to be bad, just nowhere near as good as 8 year old me thought it was. Like this time around I wasn't as swept up, shall we say, the magic of it all, and as a result I found myself questioning the movie more and finding it all to be rather dumb at times. I really do feel that there isn't much here for adults - at least the ones who aren't drinking the nostalgia aid - or people who missed the Harry Potter hype train, it really is a movie better suited for a younger, more accepting/naive, audience. It's still a fine film but one that most likely will not work as well as you remembered it working - unless of course you get a hard on for all things Harry Potter.

    Also, just saying, Chris Columbus directed this, the guy who brought us this years box office hit (not joking about it being a hit btw) Pixels - yep.

    Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone is a charming fantasy movie with fun characters and an interesting setting. The world of Hogwarts is sure to impress, though the performances by the actors aren't that great in many instances. As for its accuracy to the source material, I can't really comment as I've never finished the novels (I know, I know! Crazy right?) but I still enjoyed this adaptation nonetheless.

    I just started my Harry Potter-athon from the beginning. Watching this back now after seeing the later films shows just how much the series grew up with the actors, it's actually better to watch again now just to see it. It's a little bit kiddy for me to watch again within the next year or so, but it's one of those movies everybody will like regardless of their age.
