Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (2001), the first of the Harry Potter series, is a special effects tour de force for its era, and functions as a morality and inspirational tale, teaching that those who are pure of heart, and never give up, can accomplish wonderful things. How well it stacks up against the novels of the same name is not within my ken, seeing as I’ve never read the novels. I’ve read too much fantasy as it is.
If you’ve somehow never seen it, it’s worth a gander. Unless you’re goth and, thus, hopelessly cynical.
