harry potter

Advantages: great film
Disadvantages: n/a

...I am a huge Harry Potter I watched the first film and from there I liked it so much I read the books. As much as I love the film I think you miss out on so much if you do not read the books as there is so much more detail in them that I think the film is lacking. J K Rowling is a great author and deserves all the glowing reports that she gets she has really captures this well. Harry Potter and the Prisoner is the adaptation of the third book Harry Potter. Harry Potter played by Daniel Radcliffe Hermione Granger played by Emma Watson Ron Weasley played by Rupert Grint Professor Snape played by Alan Rickman Professor McGonagall played by Dame Maggie Smith Hagrid played by Robbie Coltrane Sirius Black played by Gary Oldman It stars the actors from the preceding films in the series, except for the role of Albus Dumbledore...

harry potter

Advantages: great
Disadvantages: na

...Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone, this is the first installment of the Harry Potter films of the great series by J K Rowling, I had watched this film and then decided to read the book, I then read the rest of the books before the films and I cannot believe the bits that are missed out there is so much more description in the books than the films. But I do realize that the film would last a long time if they put all the details I, but as a film it was great, if you are not comparing it to the book. Harry Potter is played by Daniel Radcliffe a boy who lives with his aunt, uncle and cousin as his parents died when he was young and they have brought him up every since. A mysterious letter arrives one evening, delivered by a friendly giant Hagrid played by Robbie Coltrane. This letter is inviting Harry to join Hogwarts School...

Harry the potter...

Advantages: great fun for kids-special affects-script and cast
Disadvantages: nothing

...Harry potter thinks he is just an average 11 year old boy celebrating his 11th birthday, but all changes when a giant man named Hagrid and tells harry important stuff about him, he is a wizard. His life gets more intense as he travels to Hogwarts school of witchcraft and wizardry to learn how to be a wizard. He meets his new found best friends named Ron weasley, a character who is not very brave and Hermione the intellectual friend, but all is not what it seems at Hogwarts as someone is planning to steal the precious Philosophers stone. Along the way you will experience much magic and wizardry. Back around 2002, there were mainly 2 memorable movies like lord of the rings and harry potter harry, but lord of the rings is a timeless classic and will never be forgotten. Harry potter was a good movie but for entirely different reasons...

Harry Potter and the Successful Film Franchise

Advantages: Entertaining, fairly true to the book, Alan Rickman
Disadvantages: None, but the Half Blood Prince is better

...Hi. I?m Charby, and I?m a Harry Potter geek. Ever since the first book in the series was published, Harry Potter has been a worldwide phenomenon whose popularity has grown and grown with each new book and each film adaptation. I?ve been obsessed with Harry since I was ten years old and my mam bought me The Philosopher?s Stone and The Chamber of Secrets paperbacks, and since then the release date of each new book was an event bigger than my birthday and Christmas rolled into one. The seventh and final book in the series was released in 2007, so to satisfy my thirst for more Harry I have been reading translations of the novels in different languages, and have also gotten quite into the films. Despite the fact that each film has a four star rating here on Dooyoo, I feel that each film has been better than the last, with this year...

...without giving to much away; Harry Potter is left with his Aunty Petunia and Uncle Vernon, they are really horrible to Harry Potter and tell him cruel stories that his parents have been killed. When Harry?s about 11, Hagrid tells him that he has a place at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft. He tells him what happened to his parents and how Voldemort tried to kill him but was unable to.

Review of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - J.K. Rowling

Harry Potter

Advantages: Great Read
Disadvantages: None

...----------------------------------------------------- Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone ----------------------------------------------------- Harry Potter the Philosophers Stone is the first book in a series of seven by the now very famous J.K. Rowling. After hearing about this book I decided that I really wanted to get it and get my head stuck in it. From the day that it was released it?s reputation had been becoming stronger and stronger and since then it has become one of the most famous series of books, not only the book has become famous J.K Rowling is now one of the most well know people from across the world. Giving some of the detail but not giving to much of the details away the book is basically about a boy who finds out that he is a wizard at the age of 11, and the attends a school of witchcraft and wizardry...

Review of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - J.K. Rowling

Harry Potter and the Half-Baked Pants

Advantages: Special effects, performances, only one more book to go
Disadvantages: A mess of backstory

...Once again, the Harry Potter hype machine promised us that this would be the darkest year yet at Hogwarts. And, once again, everyone was too polite to point out that they've been saying this since Chamber of Secrets came out several years ago... But there was a great deal of expectation surrounding this sixth film, based on the penultimate book in J K Rowling's seven volume epic of magical larks in wizardland. So how does it measure up? Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Harry Potter is not a happy boy-wonder-genius-action wizard when we meet him in a railway station cafe. He's still sad about the death of the character at the end of the previous film, who I won't name because people are still funny about it, even though it's blatantly obvious they're going to die from the outset. Ah well. Quickly, Dumbledore meets...

harry potter returns

Advantages: great film
Disadvantages: na

...When it comes to Harry Potter I am a huge fan, although I have come to appreciate that the books have more description in than the film, so the books are well worth reading, you will not be disappointed with the fifth book in J K Rowling series. Unlike many films that have sequels that seem to get worse the more they make, I think the more Harry Potter films that are produced the better they get and the more addicted I become and awaiting the new release is always something that seems to take forever. Harry Potter played by Daniel Radcliffe is in the Order of the Phoenix and this is the darkest of the series to date, in this installment you find that Harry is claiming that Lord Voldermort has returned and the rest of the wizarding world does not want to believe him. Harry also has a crush on a fellow-student at Hogwarts, Fudge...

Harry Potter's Debut

Advantages: original, well-written, compelling
Disadvantages: addictive

...SPOILER ALERT!!!! The Story Behind Harry Potter Harry Potter would certainly go down in history as one of the greatest and most popular books of all time. So famous is Harry Potter, that it has propelled, its creator into fame and fortune. According to Forbes she is estimated to be worth $1,000,000,000. She is the world's first billionaire author and the only British woman in the Forbes 2007 list. She is now the richest woman in the world as well surpassing talk show host Oprah Winfrey. The Story of Harry Potter The Harry Potter story is a story of friendship, courage and heroism. It all begins in a triumphant setting where the wizards are celebrating the fall of Lord Voldemort, the villain of the story. This however, was at the same time tragic as our protagonist lost his parents as they tried to protect him from Voldemort...

Review of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - J.K. Rowling

Harry Potter and the randomly included extra bits.

Advantages: Enjoyable performances,exciting action were it exists.
Disadvantages: Some unforgiveable plot changes, simply dull for long periods.

...Harry is convinced by Professor Dumbledore to join Potions class and ingratiate himself with new teacher Horace Slughorn in an attempt to uncover a dark secret. He finds this very easy when he discovers a heavily annotated textbook that gives him all the answers apart from one. Who is the Half-Blood Prince? "Harry Potter and The Half Blood Prince" suffers as all penultimate films in a series seem too, by having too much narrative. The previous installment in this huge franchise was disjointed but wonderfully entertaining. This one however, is often quite dull. This is a film that is more necessary than essential viewing. Everything is certainly done well with some epic special effects, a great musical score and some cracking acting. However, you cannot escape the fact that very little is going on at times here. Perhaps, this is...
