Kevin Maher Times (UK) An exceptional big-screen half-term treat. Rated: 4/5 Oct 29, 2021 Full Review Jami Bernard New York Daily News Harry Potter's first venture onto the screen is a solid blockbuster. Rated: 3.5/4 Nov 13, 2015 Full Review Anthony Lane New Yorker Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is, despite its trickery, that plainest and least surprising of artifacts: the work of art that is exactly the sum of its parts, neither more nor less. Nov 27, 2013 Full Review Martin Carr CBR Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone remains a memorable debut for one of the biggest fantasy franchises of all time. Not only does it hold after over 20 years, but this movie is still a benchmark for world building by any standard. Rated: 8/10 Jun 25, 2024 Full Review Sean Axmaker Stream on Demand ... a painstakingly literal translations of J.K Rowling’s first novel, a near-perfect replica created with a kind of funhouse spectacle of the wonders of the magical world come to life. Jan 6, 2024 Full Review David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...a decent-enough first installment that admittedly does a nice job of establishing Rowling's impressively detailed world and characters...

Judie Always incredible….especially in the theaters. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/12/24 Full Review Shanna fun to see it in the theater! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Andy Better on the big screen, loved being able to see this in theaters for the first time, as I was too young and not yet a fan of the series when it was originally released. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 03/30/24 Full Review Kathleen G I saw Sorcerer’s Stone with my 2 sons the day it came out in 2001. Today, I saw it again on the big screen with one of my sons (the other son was out of town). It was so fun and nostalgic. The film is, as always, delightful and magical! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/07/23 Full Review Tj Such a classic film. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 10/30/22 Full Review Christina It was wonderful to take my daughter to see it in theater like I did many years ago. very nice experience for her. At theater itself I seem the twitters for the sound system were to high. So at some parts it got really loud. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/24/22 Full Review Read all reviews
