Myself, I thought the film was real good. The film had some really good jokes in it, and not all of them were taken straight from the book. A lot of the book was converted to the big screen, and the parts that werent were only done so as they would make the film unenjoyable coz it would drag on and make it longer than it already is. Despite it's 2hr30mins length, the film didn't seem to drag on or take ages. The first section of the film, before he finds out he's a wizard is very short compared to its length in the book, and it did seem to go by too quickly which wasn't very good.

The best actor/actress in my opinion was the gut who played Harry's friend, Ron. I thought he was extremely good and had funny facial expressions that couldn't be displayed in the book. The actor who played Harry, wasn't so good. He didn't seem in to his part at all. He also had accent that was semi - posh English, which didn't seem to fit his character at all. Robbie Coltrane also played Hagrid very well and had a good accent. Snape's part was "truly evil" and well played by Alan Rickman, but i dont think that his good acting was shown enough in the film, as he had quite a small part.

My two favourite scenes were the quidditch ( cant spell that ) scene and the scene when Hermione ( which I thought was pronounced differently until i saw the film ), Ron and Harry fight off a huge troll. The quidditch match was really well made and answered my question to what the game looked like, and the troll scene i thought was just really dunny

Overall a wicked film, not as good as the book, but still wicked
