2. brief Young Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) has to lead a hard life: His parents have died in a car crash when he was still a baby, and he is being brought up by his Uncle Vernon (Richard Griffiths) and Aunt Petunia (Fiona Shaw). For some reason unbeknownst to the bespectacled ten-year-old, the Dursleys let him live in the small chamber under the stairs, and treat him more like vermin than like a family member. His fat cousin Dudley Harry Melling), the Dursleys real son, keeps bothering Harry all the time. On his eleventh birthday, Harry Potter finally receives a mysterious letter from a certain Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, telling him that he is chosen as one of the future students of that supposedly renowned school. Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane), the gigantic man who brought the letter, finally introduces Harry into the real circumstances of his life: His parents were a wizard and a witch, they were killed by the evil wizard Voldemort (Richard Bremmer) protecting him. Harry still has a lightning-shaped scar on his forehead from that event. Since he survived the attack as a baby, and also somehow deprived Voldemort from his powers, he has been famous in the wizarding world ever since. The Dursleys, strong disbelievers in that magical crap, never told Harry anything about his true self. So, Harry is strongly surprised, yet absolutely happy to start his training. At Hogwarts, Harry meets his teachers, and becomes friends with Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson). The three of them accidentally find out that the potions master, Severus Snape (Alan Rickman), seems to plot on stealing something that is guarded by a three-headed dog. Since nobody would believe some first years to have found out such important things that even would incriminate a Hogwarts teacher, they take it on themselves to find out what Snape is up to. Their quest for the truth leads across many obstacles, from keeping up the everyday school life, a bewitched Quidditch match (Quidditch is a popular wizard sport), Fluffy, the three-headed monster dog, and quite some tasks one has to overcome to get to the guarded object

The movie is very good and I enjoyed it very much, but I have to say that it is too loyal to the book. A movie is a work of art in its own way, and so is a book, but when one is based in the other, you must put some creativity to make sure it will be good. Changing Aunt Petunia's and Dudley's hair colour is not enough and I found that annoying rather than original.

However, I have to say that several things, being loyal, are perfect. The set decoration deserved an Oscar nomination at least. The way they presented Hogwarts was just as I had imagined it. Professor McGonagall was just, JUST as I have imagined her, and so does Hagrid and Hermione, and her attitude was perfect: Show-off, superior when talking to Ron, respectable, severe and very intelligent.

About the script I complain, for that stuff about it being too loyal, but I hope it'll get better when Rowling write the scripts by herself because she know the world of Harry Potter and only she, like Mario Puzo did with The Godfather, can really say how this things can be transformed from literal to visual. With the Sorcerer's Stone there's the problem that makes the hard to adapt the novel into a film: EVERYTHING that happens has to do something important, if not to the ending of that story, with the ending of the third book, that has a lot to do with the story of the fourth which is vital to the entire Saga.

What I'm trying to say is that in the film, little lines you just passed by, including that moment when Harry talks to the snake, or Hagrid names some Sirius Black, have a lot to do with the second book, or with the third.

My favourite, and the favourite of us all around here, is the second novel, The Chamber of Secrets and I believe is the most literal, although I've only read it once and I believe that they will change some stuff or wont, because they have Rowling writing the dialogues.

Just the same, because of visual effects and typical childish things, typical of Chris Columbus, I give it an 18 out of 20. That's how we evaluate things around here.

And another thing. I've seen Y Tu Mamá Tambien, or Your Mother Also or And Your Mother Too or however it's called in English, of. I just can't help to understand the creator of that movie, good but pretty much like two hours of hard, HARD core porn, is going to direct the Prisoner of Azkaban. I know he is good at feeling but Good God, isn't that too much? I like the idea of watching a Harry Potter of his own...
