Harry Potter-1000字英文影评

Harry Potter is an average bespectacled 11 year old boy who

has lived with the Dursley family ever since his parents died in

a car crash. For some reason the family has always mistreated

him. On his 11th birthday a giant man named Rubeus Hagrid

hands him a letter telling him that he has been accepted as a

student at the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Harry learns that his parents were wizards and were killed by an

evil wizard Voldemort, a truth that was hidden from him all

these years. He embarks for his new life as a student,

gathering two good friends Ron Weasley and Hermione

Granger along the way. They soon learn that something very

valuable is hidden somewhere inside the school and Voldemort

is very anxious to lay his hands on it.

In translating Rowling's world of wizards and magic to the

screen, the film makers claimed to be intensely aware of the

fans' high expectations and had sworn to be faithful to the

book.

loyal film adaptation of a book that this fan has ever seen. A

great deal of

introduction to this fantastic and dangerous world and its richly

drawn characters. There's not only a lot of plot to cover in this

film, but an entire world to create.

At two and a half hours long (hit the restroom before it starts),

the film includes the book's most memorable scenes, bringing

many of them to life with pure cinematic wizardry.

The Quidditch match (a soccer/hockey/rugby thing played on

broomsticks) is much more exciting on the screen than on the

page, as is the bathroom battle with an enormous mountain

troll and the larger- than-life game of wizard's chess.

The frightening aspects of the book are in full force in the film,

and its PG rating (for some scary moments) should be taken

seriously.
