I have to admit, I was ready to dislike this movie. Having been a long-term fan of the Harry Potter books, a less-than-faithful adaptation could have sinister it all for me. As it turns out, my fears were false.
Okay, some viewers will nitpick over discrepencies in characters’ appearances, but all the Essential stuff is here. The relationships between the characters are spot-on. The film also successfully convinces us that the magical goings-on are allotment of the protagonists’ everyday lives, whilst at the same time instilling a sense of wonder in the audience. This difficult balance is one of the main reasons the books are so successful.
Some of the child actors are a cramped wooden at times, but generally the all-British cast is favorable. The rich characters of Rowling’s books have translated perfectly. Robbie Coltrane IS Hagrid. Emma Watson (Hermione) and Rupert Grint (Ron) have tall fun delivering most of the film’s best lines. Dan Radcliffe does well in the difficult task of communicating Harry’s thoughts, when the audience is unable to behold them written down. Deserved mention, too, for Maggie Smith’s McGonagall, Alan Rickman’s Snape and Tom Felton’s nasty-yet-vulnerable Draco Malfoy.

The quality of the production is noble. The sets and costumes are amazing, and the attention to detail is breathtaking. The effects are wonderful, sure highlights being Harry’s invisibility shroud, and the Quidditch match (an adrenaline-pumping spectacle just up there with anything Star Wars has to offer) .
In between the showpieces, director Chris Columbus remembers to let his audience grasp a breather with quieter moments. Harry staring out of his bedroom window, and he and Ron opening their presents on Christmas morning, are endearingly down-to-earth. And the scenes of Harry in front of the Mirror of Erised brought a shuffle to my survey (If you’ve read the book, you’ll know why) .
That’s not to say the movie is without its faults. In an attempt to please purists, ALL the subplots have been included (though pared down a sizable deal), when omitting a few entirely may have helped the pacing of the film. The opening half-hour may be difficult to engage for those who are unusual with the book. A few of the magical artefacts seem rather more mechanical than mystical.

But these are all exiguous niggles, really. The bottom line is that 152 minutes skim by as if it were half an hour. The only wish you have is that it were longer, and there can be no better designate of a suited film than that.
Like the director, Chris Columbus, I absorb that since the book was so well done, the movie shouldn’t change anything necessary. I needn’t go on about the actors, scenery, music, etc. It’s all very well done and extremely animated.
The movie itself gets 5 stars from me.

My review subtracts a star for the second disk which I found extremely frustrating. There is some very nice material included but it’s so difficult to collect while wading through the inconsequential filler material that it almost isn’t worth it.
BTW – if you have a search function on your DVD player (on my remote, it is accessed through the ‘Display’ button) the deleted scene access camouflage is #77
