Happy Birthday, Harry Potter!

I guess we can stop celebrating my birthday now and start celebrating "the boy who lived." 

whatever.


Oh, and there's more Harry Potter goodness on this site, available here.

Harry Plotter: Movie 1

When Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone hit movie theaters around the world, audiences were expecting a lot. Four of the books had already been released, and the series was only gaining in popularity. Stakes were high, which is why it's such a disappointment how much of a turd this film turned out to be.

Please, Chris Columbus, don't kill the franchise! It's just a baby!

Harry Plotter: Book 1

As I wrote previously, I will be going through the Harry Potter series one book and movie at a time. First up: Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (or Philosopher’s Stone, but I’m going to go with the American translation for continuity).  My quest in this is to better understand the books and their relations to the film, as well as exploring the omissions of certain facts and events in the films, both good and bad. Spoilers ahead.
