Harry Potter

Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

Brief summary: The movie begins with Harry Potter being left at the doorstep of his uncle vernon and aunt Petunia's house by the headmaster of Hogwarts witchcraft and wizardry. The next scene is when harry is no longer an infant he is 11 years old, he sleeps in a cupboard under the stairs and is treated very badly, it is his cousin Dudlys birthday and the family decides to go to the zoo. Dudly is making fun of a snake in one of the enclosures and shoves harry out of the way this makes harry mad and he accidently makes the glass on the enclosure dissapear. His uncle vernon is not happy about this so he moves the family away to the middle of nowhere. One night harry is lying on the ground when Hagrid keeper of keys and grounds at hogwarts busts down the door and tells harry that he is a wizard, At first Harry is in denial but Hagrid tells him the story of how his parents were wizards to and so Harry ends up going with Hagrid to Hogwarts and meets his to best friends Ronald Weasly and Hermione Granger. From there the 3 friendsgo through school together but one day they find out that somebody is trying to steal the philosopher's stone which is kept underneath hogwarts so the 3 of them go an adventure to stop the thief from taking the stone.

A key moment: a key moment in this movie is when Harry is at the zoo and accidentally makes the glass on one of the enclosures dissapear. I think here the director is trying to show the veiwers that Harry is a wizard and is capible of doing amazing things he just doesn't know it yet. I was stunned at this because its not something that would happen everyday.

Another key moment: another key moment is the final fight between Voldemort and Harry, when voldemort is trying to steal the philosopher's stone Harry confronts him and uses the stone to kill voldemort, this scene is one of the more important ones in the movie because it is the final fighting scene that will decide who wins and what happens. I felt amused watching this part of the movie it was very entertaining because you were unable to tell what was coming next.
