Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone

5 stars

15 Jul 2023

On Wednesday which was the 12th of July 2023 I finally chose all of the Harry Potter Films to watch again and finally write reviews on them because I have never wrote reviews for them until now. We are Starting with Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone. So welcome to a famous young boy's journey of becoming a great wizard and learning a shocking and dangerous truth about his whole life which is about his past and future. His name is Harry James Potter and this is what happens in his first year of school. Harry Potter has always believed that he is a normal eleven-year-old boy who has lived with the Dursley's ever since his parents died in a car crash. Until the night of his eleventh birthday, where a giant man named Rubeus Hagrid who has not seen him since he was a baby hands him a letter telling him that he has been accepted as a student at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. That is when Harry learns that his parents were wizards and were killed but not in a car crash but by the evil wizard named Lord Voldemort who also gave Harry a scar on his forehead and a truth that was hidden from him all these years later. He then embarks on his new life as a student, gathering two good friends whose names are Ronald Weasley or Ron for short and Hermione Granger while his is at school. They soon learn that something very valuable is hidden somewhere inside the school and Lord Voldemort is very anxious to lay his hands on it here is a question for you viewers will they found out what that item is or will Lord Voldemort come back more powerful than before? This review has been given five stars which means I loved it because even though the films are not true to the books at all times they are still made brilliantly but I would recommend you also read the books because they give you a little bit more information than the films do but that's because the author who wrote them ask the director not to put every detail in the films because they would be on for to long that is why their are some bits missing or there are some bits that do not fit in the film because some scenes happened in the film but they were never in the book but that is my own opinion on these films you might not agree with me but that is what I think also I loved the films but I love the books much more. Thank you for reading my first review on Harry Potter's journey and life story. The next film is called Harry Potter And The Chamber Of Secrets see you then.
