What We Think

Harry Potter is a young orphan forced to live with his all-but-kind Uncle, Aunt, and cousin. After spending years sleeping in the space under the stairs, Harry is surprised one night by some fantastic characters who inform him he is a wizard by birth. He is whisked away to the land of Hogwarts, a school for wizards, and learns how powerful he is with the help of his friends. The movie will never be as good as the book, right? But the Harry Potter series did a pretty solid job of shoving as much of the book in as it could into such a short format.

Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Kenneth Branagh, Toby Jones
