Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (released in the United States, India and Pakistan as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone)^[6] is a 2001 fantasy film directed by Chris Columbus and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures.^[5] It is based on J. K. Rowling's 1997 novel of the same name. The film is the first instalment of the Harry Potter film series and was written by Steve Kloves and produced by David Heyman. Its story follows Harry Potter's first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry as he discovers that he is a famous wizard and begins his education. The film stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, with Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger.

Warner Bros. bought the film rights to the book in 1999 for a reported £1 million ($1.65 million in 1999). Production began in the United Kingdom in 2000, with Chris Columbus being chosen to create the film from a short list of directors that included Steven Spielberg and Rob Reiner. Rowling insisted that the entire cast be British and Irish, and the film was shot at Leavesden Film Studios and historic buildings around the United Kingdom.

The film was released to cinemas in the United Kingdom and United States on 16 November 2001. It became a critical and commercial success, grossing $975.1 million at the box office worldwide. The highest-grossing film of 2001, it is the fortieth highest-grossing of all-time (2nd at the time of its release) and the second most successful instalment of the Harry Potter series behind Deathly Hallows – Part 2. The film was nominated for many awards, including Academy Awards for Best Original Score, Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design. It was followed by seven sequels, beginning with Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in 2002 and ending with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 in 2011, nearly ten years after the first film's release.

Plot[edit]

In late 1981, Albus Dumbledore, Minerva McGonagall, and Rubeus Hagrid, professors of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, deliver a recently orphaned infant named Harry Potter to his only remaining relatives, the Dursleys. Ten years later, Harry has been battling a disjointed life with the Dursleys. After inadvertently causing an accident during a family trip to the zoo, Harry begins receiving unsolicited letters by owls. After the Dursleys escape to an island to avoid more letters, Hagrid re-appears and informs Harry that he is actually a wizard and has been accepted into Hogwarts against the Dursleys' wishes. After taking Harry to Diagon Alley to buy his supplies for Hogwarts and a pet owl named Hedwig as a birthday present, Hagrid informs him of his past; Harry's parents James and Lily Potter met their demise via a Killing Curse at the hands of the malevolent and all-powerful wizard: Lord Voldemort. Harry, the only survivor in the chaos, thus becomes well-known in the wizarding world as 'The Boy Who Lived'.

Harry is then taken to King's Cross station to board a train to Hogwarts, where he meets three other students: Ron Weasley, whom he quickly befriends; Hermione Granger, an intelligent witch born to muggle parents; and Draco Malfoy, a boy from a wealthy wizarding family, with whom he immediately clashes. After arriving at school the students assemble in the Great Hall, where all the first-years are sorted by the Sorting Hat between four houses: Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin. Although the Sorting Hat considers putting Harry in Slytherin with Draco, he is placed into Gryffindor alongside Ron and Hermione.

At Hogwarts, Harry begins learning magic spells and discovers more about his past and parents. After recovering the Remembrall of Gryffindor student Neville Longbottom, Harry is recruited for Gryffindor's Quidditch team as a Seeker, an extremely rare feat for first-year students. On their way to the dorms one night the stair cases change paths leading the three to the forbidden floor of Hogwarts, Harry, Ron, and Hermione discover a giant three-headed dog named Fluffy in a restricted area of the school. Ron then insults Hermione after being embarrassed by her in a charms lesson, causing Hermione to lock herself in the girls' bathroom. She is attacked by a marauding troll, but Harry and Ron save her - befriending her in the process.

The children later find out Fluffy is guarding the Philosopher's Stone, an object that has the power to turn any metal into gold and produce a potion that grants immortality. Harry suspects that potions teacher and head of Slytherin House Severus Snape is trying to obtain the stone in order to return Voldemort to physical form. Hagrid accidentally reveals to the trio that Fluffy will fall asleep if played music. Harry, Ron, and Hermione decide that night to try and find the stone before Snape. They discover an already asleep Fluffy and face a series of safeguards including a deadly plant known as Devil's Snare, a room filled with aggressive flying keys that bruise Harry, and a dangerous life-sized game of chess that almost kills Ron.

After getting past the tasks, Harry discovers that it was Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher Quirinus Quirrell who was trying to claim the stone: Snape had actually been protecting Harry all along. Quirrell removes his turban and reveals a weak Voldemort living on the back of his head. Through an enchantment placed by Dumbledore, Harry finds the stone in his possession. Voldemort attempts to bargain the stone from Harry in exchange for reviving his parents, but Harry refuses. Quirrell attempts to kill Harry in response; however, he is instead killed after Harry ends up burning his skin - reducing Quirrell to dust and causing Voldemort's to rise from his ashes. Harry is knocked unconscious in the process.

Harry recovers in the school hospital with Dumbledore at his side. Dumbledore explains that the stone has been destroyed and that Ron and Hermione are safe. Dumbledore also reveals how Harry was able to defeat Quirrell: when Harry's mother died to save him, her death gave Harry a love-based protection against Voldemort. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are rewarded with house points for their heroic performances - tying them for first place with Slytherin. Dumbledore then awards ten points to Neville for attempting to stop the trio, granting Gryffindor the House Cup. Harry returns home for the summer, happy to finally have a real home in Hogwarts.

Cast[edit]

Rowling insisted that the cast be kept British.^[7] Susie Figgis was appointed as casting director, working with both Columbus and Rowling in auditioning the lead roles of Harry, Ron and Hermione.^[8] Open casting calls were held for the main three roles,^[9] with only British children being considered.^[10] The principal auditions took place in three parts, with those auditioning having to read a page from the novel, then to improvise a scene of the students' arrival at Hogwarts, and finally to read several pages from the script in front of Columbus.^[10] Scenes from Columbus' script for the 1985 film Young Sherlock Holmes were also used in auditions.^[11] On 11 July 2000, Figgis left the production, complaining that Columbus did not consider any of the thousands of children they had auditioned 'worthy'.^[11] On 8 August 2000, the virtually unknown Daniel Radcliffe and newcomers Rupert Grint and Emma Watson were selected to play Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger, respectively.^[12]

• Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, an 11-year-old orphan raised by his unwelcoming aunt and uncle, who learns of his own fame as a wizard known to have survived his parents' murder at the hands of the psychopathic dark wizard Lord Voldemort as an infant when he is accepted to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Columbus had wanted Radcliffe for the role since he saw him in the BBC's production of David Copperfield, before the open casting sessions had taken place, but had been told by Figgis that Radcliffe's protective parents would not allow their son to take the part.^[13] Columbus explained that his persistence in giving Radcliffe the role was responsible for Figgis' resignation.^[13] Radcliffe was asked to audition in 2000, when Heyman and Kloves met him and his parents at a production of Stones in His Pockets in London.^[14] Heyman and Columbus successfully managed to convince Radcliffe's parents that their son would be protected from media intrusion, and they agreed to let him play Harry.^[13] Rowling approved of Radcliffe's casting, stating that 'having seen [his] screen test I don't think Chris Columbus could have found a better Harry.'^[15] Radcliffe was reportedly paid £1 million for the film, although he felt the fee was 'not that important'.^[16]William Moseley, who was later cast as Peter Pevensie in The Chronicles of Narnia series, also auditioned for the role.^[17]
• Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, Harry's best friend at Hogwarts. A fan of the series, Grint decided he would be perfect for the part 'because [he has] ginger hair'.^[16] Having seen a Newsround report about the open casting he sent in a video of himself rapping about how he wished to receive the part. His attempt was successful as the casting team asked for a meeting with him.^[16]
• Emma Watson as Hermione Granger, Harry's other best friend and the trio's brains. Watson's Oxford theatre teacher passed her name on to the casting agents and she had to do over five interviews before she got the part.^[18] Watson took her audition seriously, but 'never really thought [she] had any chance of getting the role.'^[16] The producers were impressed by Watson's self-confidence and she outperformed the thousands of other girls who had applied.^[19]
• Tom Felton as Draco Malfoy, the trio's enemy.
• John Cleese as Nearly Headless Nick, the ghost of Hogwarts' Gryffindor House.
• Robbie Coltrane as Rubeus Hagrid, a half-giant and Hogwarts' Groundskeeper. Coltrane was one of the two actors Rowling wanted most, along with Smith as McGonagall.^[20][21] Coltrane, who was already a fan of the books, prepared for the role by discussing Hagrid's past and future with Rowling.^[13][22] According to Figgis, Robin Williams was interested in participating in the film, but was turned down for the Hagrid role because of the 'strictly British and Irish only' rule which Columbus was determined to maintain.^[20][23]
• Warwick Davis as Filius Flitwick, the Charms Master and head of Hogwarts' Ravenclaw House. Davis also plays two other roles in the film: the Goblin Head Teller at Gringotts, and dubs the voice of Griphook, who is embodied by Verne Troyer.
• Richard Griffiths as Vernon Dursley, Harry's Muggle uncle. Ian McNeice was considered for the role of Vernon.^[24]
• Richard Harris as Albus Dumbledore, Hogwarts' Headmaster and one of the most famous and powerful wizards of all time. Harris initially rejected the role, only to reverse his decision after his granddaughter stated she would never speak to him again if he did not take it.^[25]
• Ian Hart as Quirinus Quirrell, the slightly nervous Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, and also Lord Voldemort's voice. David Thewlis auditioned for the part; he would later be cast as Remus Lupin in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.^[26]
• John Hurt as Mr. Ollivander, the owner of Ollivanders, a highly regarded wandmaker.
• Alan Rickman as Severus Snape, the Potions Master and head of Hogwarts' Slytherin House. Tim Roth was the original choice for the role, but he turned it down for Planet of the Apes.^[27]
• Fiona Shaw as Petunia Dursley, Harry's Muggle aunt.
• Maggie Smith as Minerva McGonagall, the Deputy Headmistress, head of Gryffindor and transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts. Smith was one of the two actors Rowling wanted most, along with Coltrane as Hagrid.^[21]
• Verne Troyer as Griphook, a goblin who works at Gringotts. His voice is dubbed by Warwick Davis.
• Julie Walters as Molly Weasley, Ron's caring mother. She shows Harry how to get to Platform ​9³⁄₄. Before Walters was cast, American actress Rosie O'Donnell held talks with Columbus about playing Mrs. Weasley.^[28]

Production[edit]

Development[edit]

In 1997, producer David Heyman searched for a children's book that could be adapted into a well-received film.^[13] He had planned to produce Diana Wynne Jones' novel The Ogre Downstairs, but his plans fell through. His staff at Heyday Films then suggested Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, which his assistant believed was 'a cool idea.'^[13] Heyman pitched the idea to Warner Bros.^[13] and in 1999, Rowling sold the company the rights to the first four Harry Potter books for a reported £1 million (US$1,982,900).^[29] A demand Rowling made was that the principal cast be kept strictly British, nonetheless allowing for the inclusion of Irish actors such as Richard Harris as Dumbledore, and for casting of French and Eastern European actors in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire where characters from the book are specified as such.^[7] Rowling was hesitant to sell the rights because she 'didn't want to give them control over the rest of the story' by selling the rights to the characters, which would have enabled Warner Bros. to make non-author-written sequels.^[30]

Harry Potter 1 Full Movie 123movies 2017

Although Steven Spielberg initially negotiated to direct the film, he declined the offer.^[31] Spielberg reportedly wanted the adaptation to be an animated film, with American actor Haley Joel Osment to provide Harry Potter's voice,^[32] or a film that incorporated elements from subsequent books as well.^[13] Spielberg contended that, in his opinion, it was like 'shooting ducks in a barrel. It's just a slam dunk. It's just like withdrawing a billion dollars and putting it into your personal bank accounts. There's no challenge.'^[33] Rowling maintains that she had no role in choosing directors for the films and that '[a]nyone who thinks I could (or would) have 'veto-ed' [ sic ] him [Spielberg] needs their Quick-Quotes Quill serviced.'^[34] Heyman recalled that Spielberg decided to direct A.I. Artificial Intelligence instead.^[13]

After Spielberg left, talks began with other directors, including: Chris Columbus, Terry Gilliam, Jonathan Demme, Mike Newell, Alan Parker, Wolfgang Petersen, Rob Reiner, Ivan Reitman, Tim Robbins, Brad Silberling, M. Night Shyamalan and Peter Weir.^[13][35][36] Petersen and Reiner both pulled out of the running in March 2000,^[37] and the choice was narrowed down to Silberling, Columbus, Parker and Gilliam.^[38] Rowling's first choice director was Terry Gilliam,^[39] but Warner Bros. chose Columbus, citing his work on other family films such as Home Alone and Mrs. Doubtfire as influences for their decision.^[40] Columbus pitched his vision of the film for two hours, stating that he wanted the Muggle scenes 'to be bleak and dreary' but those set in the wizarding world 'to be steeped in color, mood, and detail.' He took inspiration from David Lean's adaptations of Great Expectations (1946) and Oliver Twist (1948), wishing to use 'that sort of darkness, that sort of edge, that quality to the cinematography,' while being further inspired by the colour designs from Oliver! (1968) and The Godfather (1972).^[13]

'Harry Potter is the kind of timeless literary achievement that comes around once in a lifetime. Since the books have generated such a passionate following across the world, it was important to us to find a director that has an affinity for both children and magic. I can't think of anyone more ideally suited for this job than Chris.'

— Lorenzo di Bonaventura[40]

Steve Kloves was selected to write the screenplay. He described adapting the book as 'tough', as it did not 'lend itself to adaptation as well as the next two books.'^[41] Kloves often received synopses of books proposed as film adaptations from Warner Bros., which he 'almost never read',^[13] but Harry Potter jumped out at him.^[13] He went out and bought the book, and became an instant fan of the series.^[41] When speaking to Warner Bros., he stated that the film had to be British, and had to be true to the characters.^[41] Kloves was nervous when he first met Rowling as he did not want her to think he was going to '[destroy] her baby.'^[13] Rowling admitted that she 'was really ready to hate this Steve Kloves,' but recalled her initial meeting with him: 'The first time I met him, he said to me, 'You know who my favourite character is?' And I thought, You're gonna say Ron. I know you're gonna say Ron. But he said 'Hermione.' And I just kind of melted.'^[13] Rowling received a large amount of creative control, an arrangement that Columbus did not mind.

Warner Bros. had initially planned to release the film over 4 July 2001 weekend, making for such a short production window that several proposed directors pulled themselves out of the running. Due to time constraints, the date was put back to 16 November 2001.^[42]

Filming[edit]

Two British film industry officials requested that the film be shot in the United Kingdom, offering their assistance in securing filming locations, the use of Leavesden Film Studios, as well as changing the UK's child labour laws (adding a small number of working hours per week and making the timing of on-set classes more flexible).^[13] Warner Bros. accepted their proposal. Filming began on 29 September 2000 at Leavesden Film Studios and concluded on 23 March 2001,^[43] with final work being done in July.^[35][44] Principal photography took place on 2 October 2000 at North Yorkshire's Goathland railway station.^[45]Canterbury Cathedral and Scotland's Inverailort Castle were both touted as possible locations for Hogwarts; Canterbury rejected Warner Bros. proposal due to concerns about the film's 'pagan' theme.^[46][47]Alnwick Castle and Gloucester Cathedral were eventually selected as the principal locations for Hogwarts,^[13] with some scenes also being filmed at Harrow School.^[48] Other Hogwarts scenes were filmed in Durham Cathedral over a two-week period;^[49] these included shots of the corridors and some classroom scenes.^[50] Oxford University's Divinity School served as the Hogwarts Hospital Wing, and Duke Humfrey's Library, part of the Bodleian, was used as the Hogwarts Library.^[51] Filming for Privet Drive took place on Picket Post Close in Bracknell, Berkshire.^[49] Filming in the street took two days instead of the planned single day, so payments to the street's residents were correspondingly increased.^[49] For all the subsequent film's scenes set in Privet Drive, filming took place on a constructed set in Leavesden Film Studios, which proved to have been cheaper than filming on location.^[52] London's Australia House was selected as the location for Gringotts Wizarding Bank,^[13] while Christ Church, Oxford was the location for the Hogwarts trophy room.^[53]London Zoo was used as the location for the scene in which Harry accidentally sets a snake on Dudley,^[53] with King's Cross Station also being used as the book specifies.^[54]

Because the American title was different, all scenes that mention the philosopher's stone by name had to be re-shot, once with the actors saying 'philosopher's' and once with 'sorcerer's'.^[35] The children filmed for four hours and then did three hours of schoolwork. They developed a liking for fake facial injuries from the makeup staff. Radcliffe was initially meant to wear green contact lenses as his eyes are blue, and not green like Harry's, but the lenses gave Radcliffe extreme irritation. Upon consultation with Rowling, it was agreed that Harry could have blue eyes.^[55]

Design and special effects[edit]

Judianna Makovsky designed the costumes. She re-designed the Quidditch robes, having initially planned to use those shown on the cover of the American book, but deemed them 'a mess.' Instead, she dressed the Quidditch players in 'preppie sweaters, 19th century fencing breeches and arm guards.'^[56] Production designer Stuart Craig built the sets at Leavesden Studios, including Hogwarts Great Hall, basing it on many English cathedrals. Although originally asked to use an existing old street to film the Diagon Alley scenes, Craig decided to build his own set, comprising Tudor, Georgian and Queen Anne architecture.^[56]

Columbus originally planned to use both animatronics and CGI animation to create the magical creatures, including Fluffy.^[8] Nick Dudman, who worked on Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, was given the task of creating the needed prosthetics, with Jim Henson's Creature Shop providing creature effects.^[57] John Coppinger stated that the magical creatures that needed to be created had to be designed multiple times.^[58] The film features nearly 600 special effects shots, involving numerous companies. Industrial Light & Magic created Lord Voldemort's face on the back of Quirrell, Rhythm & Hues animated Norbert (Hagrid's baby dragon); and Sony Pictures Imageworks produced the Quidditch scenes.^[13]

Music[edit]

John Williams was selected to compose the score.^[59] Williams composed the score at his homes in Los Angeles and Tanglewood before recording it in London in September 2001. One of the main themes is entitled 'Hedwig's Theme'; Williams retained it for his finished score as 'everyone seemed to like it' and therefore it was a recurring theme throughout the series.^[60]

Differences from the book[edit]

Columbus repeatedly checked with Rowling to make sure he was getting minor details correct.^[57] Kloves described the film as being 'really faithful' to the book. He added dialogue, of which Rowling approved. One of the lines originally included had to be removed after Rowling told him that it would directly contradict an event in the then-unreleased fifth Harry Potter novel Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.^[61]

Several minor characters have been removed from the film version, most prominent among them the spectral History of Magic teacher, Professor Binns, and Peeves the poltergeist. The book's first chapter is from the viewpoint of Vernon and Petunia Dursley the day before they are given Harry to look after, highlighting how non-magical people react to magic. The film removes this, beginning with Professor Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall and Hagrid leaving Harry with the Dursleys (although McGonagall tells Dumbledore how she had been watching the Dursleys all day). Harry's less than pleasant times at Mrs. Figg's are cut from the film while the boa constrictor from Brazil in the zoo becomes a Burmese Python in the film. Some conflicts, such as Harry and Draco's encounter with each other in Madam Malkin's robe shop and midnight duel, are not in the film. Some of Nicolas Flamel's role is changed or cut altogether. Norbert is mentioned to have been taken away by Dumbledore in the film; whilst the book sees Harry and Hermione have to take him by hand to Charlie Weasley's friends. Rowling described the scene as 'the one part of the book that she felt [could easily] be changed'.^[56] As a result, the reason for the detention in the Forbidden Forest was changed: In the novel, Harry and Hermione are put in detention for being caught by Filch when leaving the Astronomy Tower after hours, Neville and Malfoy are given detention when caught in the corridor by Professor McGonagall. In the film, Harry, Hermione and Ron receive detention after Malfoy catches them in Hagrid's hut after hours (Malfoy however, is given detention for being out of bed after hours). Firenze the centaur, who is described in the book as being palomino with light blonde hair, is shown to be dark in the film.^[62] The Quidditch pitch is altered from a traditional stadium to an open field circled by spectator towers.^[56] In the trio's final quest for the Philosopher's Stone, Hermione's test, solving a logic problem about a row of bottles, is omitted.

Reception[edit]

Box office[edit]

In the United States, it made $32.3 million on its opening day, breaking the single day record previously held by Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace. On the second day of release, the film's gross increased to $33.5 million, breaking the record for biggest single day again. In total, it made $90.3 million during its first weekend, breaking the record for highest-opening weekend of all time that was previously held by The Lost World: Jurassic Park.^[75] It held the record until the following May when Spider-Man made $114.8 million in its opening weekend.^[76] The film held onto the No. 1 spot at the box-office for three consecutive weekends.^[77][78] The film also had the highest grossing 5-day (Wednesday-Sunday) Thanksgiving weekend record of $82.4 million, holding the title for twelve years until both The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and Frozen surpassed it with $110.1 million and $94 million respectively.^[79] Similar results were achieved across the world. In the United Kingdom, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone broke the record for the highest-opening weekend ever, both including and excluding previews, making £16.3 million with and £9.8 million without previews.^[80] The film went on to make £66.1 million in the UK alone, making it the country's second highest-grossing film of all-time (after Titanic), until it was surpassed by Mamma Mia!.^[81]

Critical response[edit]

On Rotten Tomatoes the film has an approval rating of 81% based on 195 reviews, with an average rating of 7.06/10. The site's critical consensus reads, 'Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone adapts its source material faithfully while condensing the novel's overstuffed narrative into an involving – and often downright exciting – big-screen magical caper.'^[87] On Metacritic the film has a score of 64 out of 100, based on 36 critics, indicating 'generally favorable reviews'.^[88] On CinemaScore, audiences gave the film an average grade of 'A' on an A+ to F scale.^[89]

Roger Ebert called Philosopher's Stone 'a classic,' giving the film four out of four stars, and particularly praising the Quidditch scenes' visual effects.^[90] Praise was echoed by both The Telegraph and Empire reviewers, with Alan Morrison of the latter naming it the film's 'stand-out sequence'.^[91][92] Brian Linder of IGN.com also gave the film a positive review, but concluded that it 'isn't perfect, but for me it's a nice supplement to a book series that I love'.^[93] Although criticising the final half-hour, Jeanne Aufmuth of Palo Alto Online stated that the film would 'enchant even the most cynical of moviegoers.'^[94]USA Today reviewer Claudia Puig gave the film three out of four stars, especially praising the set design and Robbie Coltrane's portrayal of Hagrid, but criticised John Williams' score and concluded 'ultimately many of the book's readers may wish for a more magical incarnation.'^[95] The sets, design, cinematography, effects and principal cast were all given praise from Kirk Honeycutt of The Hollywood Reporter, although he deemed John Williams' score 'a great clanging, banging music box that simply will not shut up.'^[96] Todd McCarthy of Variety compared the film positively with Gone with the Wind and put 'The script is faithful, the actors are just right, the sets, costumes, makeup and effects match and sometimes exceed anything one could imagine.'^[97] Jonathan Foreman of the New York Post recalled that the film was 'remarkably faithful,' to its literary counterpart as well as a 'consistently entertaining if overlong adaptation.'^[98]

Richard Corliss of Time magazine, considered the film a 'by the numbers adaptation,' criticising the pace and the 'charisma-free' lead actors.^[99] CNN's Paul Tatara found that Columbus and Kloves 'are so careful to avoid offending anyone by excising a passage from the book, the so-called narrative is more like a jamboree inside Rowling's head.'^[100] Nathaniel Rogers of The Film Experience gave the film a negative review and wrote: 'Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone is as bland as movies can get.'^[101] Ed Gonzalez of Slant Magazine wished that the film had been directed by Tim Burton, finding the cinematography 'bland and muggy,' and the majority of the film a 'solidly dull celebration of dribbling goo.'^[102]Elvis Mitchell of The New York Times was highly negative about the film, saying '[the film] is like a theme park that's a few years past its prime; the rides clatter and groan with metal fatigue every time they take a curve.' He also said it suffered from 'a lack of imagination' and wooden characters, adding, 'The Sorting Hat has more personality than anything else in the movie.'^[103]

Accolades[edit]

The film received three Academy Award nominations: Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Score for John Williams.^[104] The film was also nominated for seven BAFTA Awards. These were Best British Film, Best Supporting Actor for Robbie Coltrane, as well as the awards for Best Costume Design, Production Design, Makeup and Hair, Sound and Visual Effects.^[105] The film won a Saturn Award for its costumes,^[106] and was nominated for eight more awards.^[107] It won other awards from the Casting Society of America and the Costume Designers Guild.^[108][109] It was nominated for the AFI Film Award for its special effects,^[110] and the Art Directors Guild Award for its production design.^[111] It received the Broadcast Film Critics Award for Best Live Action Family Film and was nominated for Best Child Performance (for Daniel Radcliffe) and Best Composer (John Williams).^[112] In 2005 the American Film Institute nominated the film for AFI's 100 Years of Film Scores.^[113]

Synopsis

Harry Potter has lived under the stairs at his aunt and uncle’s house his whole life. But on his 11th birthday, he learns he’s a powerful wizard — with a place waiting for him at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As he learns to harness his newfound powers with the help of the school’s kindly headmaster, Harry uncovers the truth about his parents’ deaths — and about the villain who’s to blame.
