Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

The first movie based on the superb Harry Potter series of books. Emma makes a perfect Hermione, bossy and beautiful.

Harry Potter is an excellent series. We've read all the books, naturally. We love the brilliant Hermione, and we really love how Emma plays her in the movies. And what's not to like. Not only is Emma beautiful, but she also handles perfectly her bossy, brilliant character. In the first movie of the series Emma is 10 years old, and, obviously, increasingly older in later ones, but let it be said we both like her in all of them.
That said, while the books are praised by youth and adults alike, the movies are mostly for the former age group. They are action-heavy, and although faithful to the books, simply don't reach the same level of excellency.
