Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) lives with his verbally abusive orphan family, before being invited to attend the Hogwart's school for wizards. He is accepted into this fraternity and learns about his familial history and his magical powers as a wizard. Harry befriends Hermione Granger (Emma Watson) and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) as the adventures begin. Highly recommend.

The three children are superbly cast, with great chemistry which develops as they get to know each other better. The message of the book - that love overcomes everything, that integrity and honesty are the most important traits - comes through clearly, and I found myself gripped, almost as if I did not know what was coming.

There are some scary moments towards the end, and a little minor bad language, so the rating for this film is PG in both the US and UK.

One of the best movies for children every made from one of the best books for children ever written. I have been smitten with it all ever since it began. ( )
