harry potter and the sorcerer's stone full movie

Hagrid warns Harry and his friends in the movie, 'Snape is one of the teachers protecting the stone, he's not about to steal it.' But 'the how' doesn't necessarily come to light. Harry's abilities, though unknowing that they are magical, occur before he sets the Burmese python (in the book a boa constrictor) loose at the zoo - after a haircut he made his hair regrow immediately, transported himself onto the school's roof when Dudley was teasing him, and shrank a sweater. Before Hagrid reveals to Harry he is a wizard, witches and wizards discreetly try to praise Harry while out running errands with his aunt, uncle, and cousin. What the movie overlooks is how the wizarding world discreetly unveils itself to the boy who lived. (PSSST. Did you know Columbus intended to make the films longer but test audiences were against the idea?!)īoth in the book and movie, Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall with Hagrid leave baby Harry on the Dursleys doorstep so he can lead a normal life until he's ready to find out about his background. Let's get down to some important changes missing from Sorcerer's Stone.

While most adaptations aren't perfect clones of their original stories but do their best to maintain integrity of the author's work, sometimes it's hard to ignore some small details left on the cutting room floor. Directed by Chris Columbus the first installment includes detailed nooks and crannies from the novel. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone kicked off the epic eight-film saga, and the results were pretty darn close to capturing the book's magic millions of readers fell in love with.
