This is a good Harry Potter movie to start out. If you've read the book, you'll understand the plot, but if not, it starts the story of a boy named Harry Potter, who 11 years after surviving an evil wizard's attack, is enrolled in Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. It's fun to see the kids become accustomed to magical themes for the first time, such as Hagrid starting a fire with his umbrella, a magical feast, and flying broomsticks. This movie had its funny parts too. The action was good, and the plot, just as in the book, was pretty well-developed. Overall, it is definitely worth buying for any Harry Potter fan; if you aren't one, you should at least rent it.
