It comes to this sooner or later. Hollywood gets it's hands on the film rights and then they start pushing out one film after the other. It's way over 5 years since I watched Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, so I thought I'd watch it again, and what a disappointment!
The first book in the series is my favourite and I've read it more than 10 times (seriously, a good book is worth reading more than once) then I watched the movie (which by the way was released the 16th of November 2001 - 9 years, one month and four days ago!) and was surprised at how different I had pictured the movie, since I have read the book so many times.
Hermione doesn't solve the potions puzzle in the end, and the Devil's snare is afraid of fire, not sunlight. Meh... I'll still continue with the second movie, just to see of it's any better. Of all the Harry Potter books, the second book, Harry Potter and the Camber of Secrets, is my least favourite book/movie... might be because Professor Gilderoy Lockhart is my least favourite person, I even prefer Snape or Malfoy in front of him, but Kenneth Branagh does a marvellous job as Lockhart.
