Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone [Two Disc Full Screen Edition] [DVD] [2001]

Great value and 🎬

The first of J K Rowling's Harry Potter books made into a glorious film that holds the attention of children and adults throughout. The special effects combine with great character acting to provide a spectacular, magical, visual experience.

It’s great 👍

Great movie, can be watched over and over again. Fantastic!

While I did enjoy this first film in the 'Harry Potter' series, I would say that is looking its age at some points. While the physical special effects and the CGI used for the big set pieces (such as the troll and the quidditch match) still look quite impressive, some of the other CGI is looking a little dated by modern standards. In addition to this, while the all-star adult cast are all brilliant in their respective rolls (especially Richard Harris as Dumbledore and Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid), the younger actors all leave something to be desired (although thankfully they get better in later films that I have seen). The plot of the film is rather light and a little predictable but is still entertaining enough, particularly when it is set in such an interesting world.The second DVD of this two disc set contains many special features but it has quite an annoying interface when not used on a computer and I haven’t seen them.Overall I think that 'Philosopher’s Stone' is probably worth around three and a half to four stars.

Well what can I say, that hasn't already been said. it's a great film well acted and keeps your attention from beginning to end.

Is good i like it when harry goes to hogwarts

Here I'm just going to tell you about the differences between the USA version and the UK version.I saw many people from the USA trying to buy those UK version since the difference in price is really big and the title say they are region free.Impressive the shipping company. I order them from UK the 14th and just 8 days later is in home (and yesterday it was a holiday). So shipping is not a problem, plus it was only $13 for all of them.The blu-rays are region free! wow! so I can play them without problem in my blu-ray player. The dvd aren't, not a problem for me, since I do own a free region dvd player, but it something that you should check if you want to order them.The are difference between the USA version and the UK version:- First... and not important at all. The boxes are a little taller (box 7 is the USA version)- More important is, that in the USA version, all the disc inside are blu-ray except the one with the movie is DVD (obviously), in the UK version they decide that the only in blu-ray is the movie and the rest are DVDs.- With that said, the difference in price is big, being the UK version really cheap if you compare with the US. The boxes are $50 for a total of $350. In the UK the boxes are $12.55 for a total of $75.30 (They still don't have the Ultimate 7, so the price is for the first six of them)So for $220 less (if you include the $75+$45 for the 7 in USA version), you get all the movies, with all the same extras, and the extended version of 1 and 2. But you get everything in DVDs but the movies, so you will need a region free dvd player (around $40 on ebay).So not bad at all. But be aware of those differences!.

I received this quickly and it was exactly as described. I needed this to complete my set of the movies. Very satisfied.

Great price, good quality.

L’ai toute la serie

This is great and works beautifully

Pour les fans de la série, le premier film, "Harry Potter à l'école des Sorciers" reste le plus magique de tous. Le film, très, très fidèle au roman, commence le jour des onze ans d'Harry. En même temps que le petit garçon lui-même, on y découvre petit à petit ses aptitudes très particulières et sa famille d'adoption grotesque et détestable, avant de plonger dans le monde de la magie. Pour la première fois on visite le Chemin de Traverse, autrement dit le marché des sorciers et sorcières puis le quai 9 3/4 et son train en partance pour Poudlard, la fameuse école des Sorciers. Avec Harry nous allons y découvrir tous les personnages principaux et entrer dans un univers poétique et fabuleux porté à l'écran avec....magie, bien sûr!
