More Harry Potter. A little less introductory explaining, a lot more action. Plus, we get to meet Dobby, and what kind of person doesn't love Dobby?

You're a wizard, Harry!

Date: Thursday 24th January
Film: Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (2001)
Director: Chris Columbus

Running time: 02 hours, 32 minutes

Harry Potter has two camps. Those that love it, and those that don't. I'm one of those ones that absolutely loves it.

Yes, it may be primarily a children's story, but that doesn't stop both the books and the film series being amazing.

Philosopher's Stone is the first in the series and that is obvious from the outset. There is a lot of introduction to the characters and the environment, but this is not a bad thing. The film is very faithful to the book and is a great representation of the world that JK Rowling created.

This is a great jumping off point to a series of films that, in my opinion, got better and better with each installment.
