See next week for behind the scenes exclusive of this film!

Director Chris Columbus takes us into a magical world of Witchcraft and Wizardry in this very close interpolation of JK Rowlings first book in the series of Harry Potter books.   

"normal people", the other is the "real world". The best part of the film is when Harry learns to play Quidditch.

Our verdict is that this is a real classic, but could frighten very young children, so be warned.  In all it is worth a good four stars.  It is a shame about the hype, as it tends to spoil the magic a bit.  If you take away the hype, then I would give it five out of five.
