MIX UP REVIEWS:

★★★★★



Ellie - ★★★★★

'I liked this movie as I found it funny and enjoyable, the movie in itself has a good storyline and I would totally recommend it for a family movie night.'


Stewart - ★★★★★

'A fantastic start to the series, really conveys the magic of the book very well and what a cast! It's maybe a little overlong but when there's so much to pack in from J.K. Rowling's story then it's forgivable. Great film.'

The whole of the Harry Potter series is fantastic and always worth a re-watch. Meanwhile another J.K. Rowling adaptation came along with the Fantastic Beasts series.

For another children's book adaptation of wizards and magic try The Princess Bride.
