(Image credit: Warner Bros.)ĭeathly Hallows: Part 1 has been continuously appreciated for how true it stayed to the book. Should Deathly Hallows have been split into two movies? It's a decision that divided fans, too. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 1 Whilst Sorcerer's Stone is incredibly important to the franchise – because without it Harry Potter wouldn’t exist – the actual main storyline in the movie is something that leaves a little less to be desired in terms of magic and action when stacked up against the other movies in the franchise, placing it sixth. And, we’re treated to our very first look at the magical academy of Hogwarts itself. We board the Hogwarts Express alongside Harry for his maiden voyage to Hogwarts and, of course, we meet his best friends, Ron and Hermione. We meet Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane), the Hogwarts’ gentle gamekeeping giant. There are so many iconic moments in the Sorcerer's Stone that fans and newbies alike could enjoy as the first foray of Harry Potter to screen. Given what we know now about all the epic stories it was building up to, it’s no surprise that it made sure it set us up just right.
It’s clear that the Sorcerer's Stone (Or Philosopher’s Stone as it was outside of the US) had one focus in mind - to begin it all. The first movie of the franchise, sure, and an absolutely fantastic start. Sorcerer's Stone is an important first step but the story isn't as good as later movies in the franchise. It was always going to be a hard one to tackle given the shift in narrative, but director Mike Newell rose to the occasion creating drama, rivalry, and a notable change in the relationships not only in the newly-introduced characters but with the Harry, Ron, and Hermione too. It echoes perhaps the age of the cast too, showing fans that they were changing and that we would learn to grow alongside them. In Goblet of Fire, the students are clearly developing as they come to a certain stage of their lives and arguably, this ends up dominating much of the movie. Underlying it all though, the first big reveal of he who shall not be named (you know – we’ll name him later). And there was a questionable focus on the teenage romantic angst of the characters that left fans divided. The promise of a Quidditch World Cup finale was a promising one, but one that was not delivered. It brought together alternative magical schools for which it may have initially seemed that Hogwarts was the only one. Goblet of Fire is the home of the Triwizard Tournament and a thrilling addition to the franchise.
We liked that Goblet of Fire brought together different magical schools.
