Magic Beyond the Books

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone - the movie! Rewatching this film, I share my reactions, compare with the book, and note things “director Rene” would do differently. Strap in for some controversial topics as I answer the following: Is this a Christmas or Halloween movie? Did this movie deserve an 80% on Rotten Tomatoes? What movies do I think are worse that received a better rating? And, of course, tangents abound as I deep dive into the animal actors and Hogwarts Express train. Warning - this episode may inspire a Harry Potter movie marathon!
