5Viaje mágico del papel al celuloide, May 20, 2023
Llegó el momento de hablar de Harry Potter y la Piedra Filosofal. A estas alturas, muchas personas ya deben haberla visto, a juzgar por las colas en los cines donde la proyectan y la venta anticipada de tickets que resultó ser muy exitosa.

Los que leyeron los libros, al menos el primero, saben perfectamente sobre qué trata la historia. Para aquellos que no tengan la mínima idea sobre el fenómeno Potter -y me cuesta creer que hayan personas que no sepan "nada"-, aquí les va resumida la trama: Harry Potter vive con sus tíos, los Dursley, que le han mentido sobre la muerte de sus padres y lo mantienen dentro de una alacena bajo la escalera. Letras misteriosas comienzan a llegar para Harry cuando cumple 11 años, hasta que finalmente el pequeño se entera que es un mago y que ha sido aceptado para el primer curso en la prestigiosa Escuela Hogwarts de Magia y Hechicería. En ese lugar, Harry se hace amigo de Ron Weasley y Hermione Granger y junto a ellos, se embarca en grandes aventuras en Hogwarts, un lugar más allá de la imaginación de Harry, donde descubre sus talentos extraordinarios, se enfrenta a temibles enemigos y consigue a la familia que nunca tuvo.

Hay toneladas de magia en Harry Potter y la Piedra Filosofal; hasta una muggle como yo lo puede notar. Una superproducción que deslumbra tanto en lo visual como en su ejecución, Harry Potter nos abre los ojos al mundo sublime de la magia y la fantasía. Hayan o no leído el libro, es un portal para aquellos dispuestos a dejar volar su imaginación. Los límites entre la realidad y el mundo mágico son desdibujados con tal sutileza que no nos percatamos como el mundo de Potter se convierte en nuestra realidad.

Decir que la cinta es completamente fiel al libro sería mentir. Sin embargo, el director Chris Columbus y su equipo técnico hicieron maravilas para recrear el mundo descrito con exquisito detalle en los libros de J.K. Rowling. Incluso en dos horas y media de duración, la cinta jamás podría dar un 100% de atención a toda la novela.

Pero a pesar de esto, Harry Potter es una cinta que no sólo logra mostrarnos la mayoría de la historia narrada en la novela, sino que lo hace exitosamente en casi todas sus escenas. Virtualmente, cada personaje es interpretado por un actor que aglutina por completo las descripciones hechas por Rowling, desde la sabihonda Hermione Granger, hasta el ambigüo e impredecible profesor Snape.

Hay drama, aventura, misterio, suspenso y humor. ¿Qué más tiene la película? Me hizo reir, aplaudir, chillar, gritar de miedo y asombro, sonreir y suspirar. Me hizo creer en un mundo donde la magia es una profesión honorable que existe con el propósito de hacer justicia y luchar contra el mal. Un mundo donde la amistad es sinónimo de familia, lealtad y apoyo. Donde afortunadamente, nadie es perfecto ni espera que tu lo seas.

Harry Potter y la Piedra Filosofal no es una película más, es un mundo con sus propias y fantásticas reglas mágicas.

4SIMPLY MAGICAL, May 17, 2023
I am a HUGE Harry Potter fan. I love the books and when i first heard a movie was being made I was very excited. The movie was just as I hoped it would be. It had all the elements from the orginal book. Chris Columbus was able to catch the magical world of Hogwarts the way J.K. Rowling created it. He also was able to portray the friendship of Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
Chris Columbus is an excelletent director that can bring to life a world of wizards, wands, brooms, and most of all magic.

5Ganjamon, May 5, 2023
I did rather enjoy this films i have to admit, and i like that fact that the little runtish boy they got to play harry potter, looked like the harry potter off of the picture on the front of the book. I didnt like malfoy however, because i was frightened by him. This is because of the fact he was mean to the runtish harry potter lookalike boy. Ron was funny because he had a pet mouse, and i thought it would be funny if the mouse was eaten by some form of ravenous rabbit. Voldemort had a rubber head that had been constructed by an obviously low paid prosthetics and special effects team but this added more humour to the film, so i was not frightened by his evil antics of doom. This film was rather good but would be better if it had George Knewbold in it.

5And I used to make fun of Harry Potter, Apr 29, 2023
I used to make so much fun of Harry Potter, and I wouldn't watch it on my own, because i thought it was just for little kids not a 20 something year old guy, until my girlfriend sat me down and we watched it when it was on HBO, it was about the time CoS came out so then i imideatly went and and watched CoS and bought Sorcerer's Stone on DVD and then i went to buy all the books and then read them and know I love watching Harry Potter, i have all the movies on DVD, and I have all the books and I have the Half Blood Prince on Pre-order all because my girlfriend had me watch the movie, which now I am glad she did, because i love the movies and the books, I highly recomend these movies and books.

5Where Are the Deleted Scenes?, Apr 22, 2023
This question pondered me for a long time. But after a year or so my friend told me. First, you go to the menu with all the classrooms on it. Land on the Transfiguration class (the one with the cat) but don't click on it. Then press the down arrow on your remote. You will land on the torch. Click it twice. You will then enter Fluffy's room. It gives you 4 choices. Pick the flute. Then you will enter a room full of keys. Go to the top center key. Go down twice and sideways once then you will land on the key you have to pick. Then you will be in a room full of whine bottles. Pick the round, gold one. Then you will enter a room with the sorcerers stone in it. Click on it. And presto! Deleted scenes!
