A Harry Potter marathon? Ok, sure! I've never watched all of these in order - it's a huge undertaking. But so much fun!
Yes, I'm a fan. And yes, I'm still pissed that I'm a muggle.
This first movie reminds me of that... and how I never got my letter to Hogwarts. But I digress... from a book-to-movie standpoint, this is probably one of the best films. Basically, it's the shortest book so they didn't have to cut that much out. Once we get to the complicated, longer books, I can't say the same. Sad, but necessary.
The only thing I regret about this movie is that they didn't have the foresight to cast Ralph Fiennes to do Voldemort's voice this early on. But when this movie came out, I don't think the fourth book had even been released yet. So I guess I can't blame them.
Onward to the Chamber of Secrets!
