Harry(Daniel
Radcliffe), although he has a destiny in this world, has been raised by
his “regular” or “muggle” aunt and uncle. They have not treated him
kindly, spoiling their own boy while making harry live under the
stairs. Into this world is thrust a plethora of letters, inviting Harry
to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft. His aunt and uncle try to keep him
from this fate, even escaping to an island in the sea. To this island
comes Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane), on his flying motorcycle. I love the
part where he knocks down the door and then says, “Sorry about that.”
One of my favorite lines from the movie. Harry is on his way to the
witchcraft school, and he learns he has a special place in the witch’s
world.
He
is a first year, and put into the house of Gryffindor. Two friends he
met on the train are also placed in this house, Hermione (Emma Watson)
and Ron (Rupert Grint). The head of their house is Professor McGonagall
(Maggie Smith). The headmaster of Slytherin House is Professor Snape
(Alan Rickman). Snape holds a bit of contempt for Harry, and Harry
always misinterprets his intentions. At school there is a mystery.
Someone let a troll into the house. It was luck no one was killed.
However Hermione and the others determine someone is looking for the
Sorcerer’s Stone, which will make someone immortal. As they make this
discovery, it falls on them to prevent the robbery of the stone. They
have to go through all the charms protecting the stone, following
someone who has gone this way before them. That someone turns out to be
the professor of defense against the magical arts, Professor Quirrel (Ian Hart)
who has been inhabited by the dark magician who must not be named. The
confrontation between Harry and Voldemort, he who must not be named, is
classic. It is a struggle between good and evil, and this movie is very
tense to the end. Richard Harris portray Professor Albus Dumbledore.
