    Comparison Of Harry Potter And The Philosopher's Stone

    I first read Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone when I was eight years old. It immediately became one of my favorite books. Over the next several years, I read the rest of the series many times, and I watched the entire series of movies almost as many times. However, I’ve never grown tired of re-reading and re-watching the first book and movie. The book, titled Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone upon initial release in 1997, was re-titled later that same year as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone for its US release. J.K. Rowling’s 310 page masterpiece was published by Arthur A. Levine Books, a branch of Scholastic Inc. The movie, also titled Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was released in 2001 by Warner Bros.…

    Comparison Of Harry Potter And The Philosophers Stone

    First of all, detail is very important in novels. The films lack accuracy to the book proving that the novel is superior. In the film, there are characters missing including Peeves, the poltergeist and Charlie Weasley, the second eldest Weasley child. Dobby also appears only in two of the films whereas he appears in the book from Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets until the end. There are also many missing scenes including the opening for Harry Potter and The Philosophers Stone which starts off very differently than the book. I know they have to keep the movie going because it’s already very long but it seems too rushed. The characters also don’t fit their descriptions. For example, Harry Potter is supposed to have green eyes but in the…

    Gcse English Film Review – Harry Potty Deathly Part 2

    ‘It All Ends’, says the poster slogan, this may be a fairly miserable title for the bloodshot-eyed fans that have followed Harry Potter on his journey to defeating He-who-can-not-be-named. However, in my opinion, the film could not have ended on a better note. With the efforts of director David Yates and those involved in the production of the movie, a truly aesthetically amazing and visually captivating movie was created. Part two of the Deathly Hallows chapter has given David Yates justification on the decision to split the chapter into two films.…

    Harry Potter Violence

    On November 14th 2001millions of people first heard the words ‘I think it is clear that we can expect great things from you. After all, He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named did great things. Terrible! Yes. But great.” Uttered in the wand shop of Mr. Ollivander on Diagon Alley, almost ten years and 7 films later we finally see those great things finally come to fruition. The Harry Potter series, according to author J.K. Rowling, is about how we respond to death and this film encompasses a fear and understanding of death on so many levels. Thanks to this statement by Ms. Rowling director David Yates focuses more on the tragedies and the aftermath of violence instead of weighing the film with epic battle scenes.…

    Comparing Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone

    The storyline in the book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, by J. K. Rowling is consistent with its namesake movie; yet the movie loses a bit of magic that comes with reading this masterpiece. Understandably, changes were necessary to morph this lengthy book into a film of reasonable length. The movie was thoughtfully created and directed to maintain the integrity of the original story. Slight alterations within the movie from scene to scene or character to character were added and details were deleted to shorten the film to a reasonable length. Still, the theme of good always prevailing over evil and procuring the ending is found in both pieces. Although many small changes were made, I will…
