Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone

Great quality and fast shipping

so amazing

Its been while since Harry Potter films graced the movie theaters, but I just had to write something in praise of these masterpieces, especially the first two movies. These remained probably the most faithful to the excellent books of all the movies, and I think all the films were excellent. Dumbledore was most faithfully played by Richard Harris, who unfortunately passed away before the series got even half way through. His successor was OK but weak compared with Harris. But the wittiness of the characters such as Herminine and Ron and the brilliant special effects kept the series strong especially later on when they became darker. I will write about the other movies later. I only objected to the title which in England was called Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone instead of the Sorcerers Stone. I guess Warner Bros figured people in the US would not know what a Philosophers Stone was. Some minor changes in the story did not alter the main story sequence from the book, which were brilliantly written by J. K. Rowling. She never talked down to the reader even though the books were supposedly written for children. The text is sophisticated and detailed and very descriptive. And I loved the train; I have a passion for steam locomotives and though the British ones look kind of odd without the cow catcher on the front, I will still take a dozen. Beautiful photography and scenery enhanced the visuals. And flawless special effects. If you haven't seen the films or read the books, I strongly recommend them if you like charming, funny, some sophistication and just good story telling; these are not fairy tales yet are top notch fantasy movies. I got all of the movies from AMAZON as well as the books. I give this book five stars. And little Harry, Ron and Herminine are so cute!

(See my comments above about Disc 2 with both the Full Screen and Wide Screen versions. You have to have them both.) Now, about this first film in the series: I expected to see something exceptional, fascinating, enchanting, and heart-warming -- after having read the book -- and my anticipation of what I thought I would see was blown away by a magnificent work of movie-making. This past week, I have watched both the full screen and wide screen versions while knitting caps and scarves for friends who are fans of a local American football team. Most enjoyable, I would say, is to hear the wonderful voices of the different actors.

Ottimo film in ottime condizioni

Edizione steelbook per i fan collezionisti del maghetto più famoso della storia letteraria e cinematografica. Interessante la modalità interattiva che aggiunge un pizzico di novità alla visione del film. Rimasterizzazione 4K discreta che non eccelle nella pulizia dell’immagine rispetto alla versione HD, nonostante il film non è così datato se confrontato a film più vecchi rimasterizzati in 4K. Per il prezzo pagato ne vale l’acquisto per aggiungere questa pregevole steelbook alla propria collezione o semplicemente fare un regalo a un giovane fan di HP, il quale non resterà affatto deluso.
