Harry Potter Sorcerer’s Stone the Game

Harry Potter now might not be considered as a children movie now, however, it really were. At least, back in time when the actors and all the topic going on around were only children! It was, a movie of introduction to the magical world in Rowling’s mind. Everything was in the way to make people say, “oh my god how beautiful it is, i wish i were there”. Therefore, it was a great way to impress children and make them happy. Therefore, most parents took their children to cinemas for this movie. Consequently, cinemas, filling up with this rabble of children just in the time when Harry Potter was going to be shown, turned the movie into the children’s movie. Though, those children, who was taken to the movies, along with the actors, now grew up. And became today’s teenagers and youngsters. Even some, adults. However, old films and old games are not yet to be forgotten!

You may or you may not know that there is a computer game for every single movie of Harry Potter. Also there are some for specific things in Harry Potter, such as quidditch world cup. Which means that there was, actually a game for Sorcerer’s Stone part of the saga too! You might have grown up, but they sure did not update the game or made a new one. So the game, is still for children, it can be said. However we should not judge harshly because remember, you were children at a time too, and you were enjoying those games! The game, is more into the book than to the movie. Which, in most ways good because the movie was actually short. There were no duel with Malfoy. Draco Malfoy, that is of course. Even that, we are only throwing explosive jelly beans on each other in the duel, it is still fun. And in some way, it might be considered as it is what it must be. Because, it is a children’s game after all. And the in character actors should not know any harmful spells at first class anyway. So, the game producers thought it was a better idea to make Harry throw exploding Jelly Beans rather than putting a hundred hole in Malfoy’s body with a machine gun. So, something with level of violence is zero, supposedly shall prove way better. However, there are extraordinary perils awaiting for harry, which is given the impression as its something quite normal. Interesting creatures keep attacking us and we know only few, or to be more precise, just one, to fend them off. The other part is about solving paradoxes. Which button should we press in order to open the door? Which block of stone should we use our spell which probably you all would remember from the book, Wingardium Leviosa, to levitate, in order to get the bridge set, for us to pass?

Even that it is more oriented on the book, there are of course things beyond it either. However, we should excuse it because if they made everything just like in the book, there would be nothing to play. Instead, we are to do things on our own in an adventure, guiding harry from one fight to another and reaching the goals. This way, we are the one who actually earns the school cup of the year. That of course, goes to Gryffindor!

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone: 10th Anniversary Edition

Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone

Lord Voldemort, an evil and powerful dark wizard, has just been defeated. When he tried to kill a one-year-old boy, Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe), the killing curse rebounded upon him, destroying his body. Harry is left an orphan with a lightning-bolt scar on his forehead, Voldemort having killed his parents, Lily (Geraldine Somerville) and James (Adrian Rawlins) Potter. Professors Dumbledore (Richard Harris) and McGonagall (Dame Maggie Smith) and Gamekeeper Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) leave him on the doorstep of his ultra-conventional, insensitive, negligent Muggle (non-magical) relatives, the Dursley family, who take him in. Harry’s relatives decide to conceal his magical heritage from him and make him live in a cupboard under the stairs for ten years.

Shortly before Harry’s eleventh birthday, he receives a letter addressed specifically to him. His outraged uncle, however, reads and burns it before Harry has a chance to look at the contents. The sender does not give up, and the Dursleys receive successively larger numbers of the same correspondence. Soon, his Uncle Vernon (Richard Griffiths) becomes so paranoid that the Dursleys, with Harry in tow, hide in a hut on a small island to escape. That night (which happens to be before Harry’s birthday), he is visited by an enormous man named Hagrid who bursts through the locked door of the hut. With Hagrid holding the Dursleys at bay, Harry finally reads his letter, in which he learns he has been invited to study magic at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The next day Harry and Hagrid leave the hut and head to Diagon Alley in London (the secret magical location hidden behind the famous wizarding pub The Leaky Cauldron). Harry enters the wizarding world for the first time, learns to his surprise that he is famous, and meets the new Hogwarts Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Quirrell (Ian Hart). He takes the train to Hogwarts from Platform Nine and three-quarters, befriending Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), and meeting Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), a Muggle-born witch.

Upon arrival, the Sorting Hat places Harry, Ron and Hermione in Gryffindor House. Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton), an arrogant and elitist student, gets placed in Slytherin. At the end of his first week at Hogwarts Harry and Ron discover that Gringotts, the wizarding bank, was broken into and a vault that Harry and Hagrid visited had been the subject of the robbery. Later, Harry discovers he has a talent for riding broomsticks, and after an incident with Malfoy, is recruited to join Gryffindor’s Quidditch team as a Seeker. He is the youngest Quidditch player at the school in a century, much to Malfoy’s displeasure.

Harry, Ron, Hermione explore Hogwarts late at night and accidentally stumble across the door to a corridor. A three-headed dog, christened Fluffy by Hagrid, guards a trapdoor. On Halloween, Quirrell informs everyone that a troll has entered the castle; it gets locked in the girls’ bathroom by Ron and Harry, where Hermione is crying after Ron has insulted her. When they realize their mistake, Harry and Ron fight the troll to save Hermione, and the three become best friends.

At Harry’s first Quidditch match, Harry’s broom becomes possessed, nearly knocking him off. Hermione sees Professor Severus Snape (Alan Rickman), the sinister Potions master and head of Slytherin House, staring at Harry and mouthing words, making her believe that Snape has caused the broom to misbehave with a dark curse. Hoping to save Harry, Hermione sets Snape’s robes on fire, distracting him and others and allowing Harry to survive.

At Christmas, Harry receives an Invisibility Cloak, once belonging to his father, which renders its wearer invisible. Harry uses it to explore the Restricted Section in the library to research information on Nicolas Flamel, a name Hagrid lets slip when confronted about his knowledge of Fluffy. Eventually, Harry learns that “Nicolas Flamel is the only known maker of the Sorcerer’s Stone, which produces the Elixir of Life which will make the drinker immortal.”

Harry sees Snape trying to get information from Quirrell about getting past Fluffy; Quirrell says he does not know what he’s talking about. Harry, Ron, and Hermione are sure that Snape is trying to steal the Philosopher’s Stone in order to restore Lord Voldemort to power, but Hagrid denies it. While at Hagrid’s hut, the trio discover a dragon egg Hagrid was nursing in a fire. Later the egg hatches a Norwegian Ridgeback dragon, and Hagrid decides to call him “Norbert”. The friends are nervous for Hagrid, since dragon breeding had long been outlawed in the wizarding world, and Hagrid had something of a reckless nature, who has long since nursed a strong desire for a dragon. Finally, Harry, Ron, and Hermione are able to convince Hagrid to let Norbert go live with other dragons of his kind in Romania, and arranged for the dragon, (now quite large in size), to be picked up by Ron’s older dragon trainer brother, Charlie.

Harry, Hermione. and Draco are caught out late at night (Ron is meanwhile in the hospital wing, being treated for a bite from Norbert), and are forced to serve detention with Hagrid in the Forbidden Forest. Harry sees a hooded figure drink the blood of an injured unicorn, which makes Harry’s forehead scar start burning. Firenze, a centaur, tells Harry that it is a monstrous thing to slay a unicorn, let alone drink its blood. He also tells Harry that unicorn blood is like Elixir of Life, and that the hooded figure is in fact Voldemort.

Harry, Hermione and Ron find out that Hagrid, while he was drunk in a pub, has told a hooded stranger how to get past Fluffy, and they believe the theft of the Stone is imminent. Rushing to finally confide in Professor Dumbledore their news, they meet Professor McGonagall, who is shocked to find out how much they knew about the Stone, but reassures them all the same that it is safe in the castle. She also tells them that Dumbledore has been sent away on an important mission by the Ministry of Magic. Positive that Dumbledore’s summons was a red herring to take Professor Dumbledore away from Hogwarts, the trio make plans to thwart Snape’s theft of the stone. They set out to reach the stone first, navigating the security system set up by the school’s staff, which is a series of complex magical challenges. The three make it through together until finally, Harry must enter the inner chamber alone. There he finds that meek Professor Quirrell, not Snape, is attempting to steal the Stone. Realizing that Snape was trying to protect him from harm all along, Harry confronts Quirrell and survives a second encounter with Lord Voldemort, who has possessed Quirrell and appears as a ghastly face on the back of Quirrell’s head. Quirrell gets blisters when he touches Harry’s skin, and Harry suffers because of his close proximity to Lord Voldemort. Dumbledore arrives just in time to rescue Harry. Voldemort then pitilessly abandons Quirrell, who dies in the aftermath of his possession.

Dumbledore reveals to Harry that Harry’s mother died to protect Harry as an infant. Her pure, loving sacrifice provides Harry with an ancient magical protection from Voldemort’s lethal spells and also prevents Voldemort from touching Harry without suffering terribly. Dumbledore also says that the Sorcerer’s Stone has been destroyed to prevent future attempts by Voldemort to steal it.

Whilst in the Hospital wing Harry asks Dumbledore why Voldemort attempted to kill him when he was a young child. Dumbledore tells Harry when he is old enough he will tell him why.

Finally, at the end-of-year feast, the House Points totals are given: Gryffindor is in last place. However, Dumbledore gives a few “last-minute additions”, granting points to Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Neville, so that Gryffindor wins the House Cup.

Here’s an event movie that holds up to being an event. This filmed version of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, adapted from the wildly popular book by J.K. Rowling, stunningly brings to life Harry Potter’s world of Hogwarts, the school for young witches and wizards. The greatest strength of the film comes from its faithfulness to the novel, and this new cinematic world is filled with all the details of Rowling’s imagination, thanks to exuberant sets, elaborate costumes, clever makeup and visual effects, and a crme de la crme cast, including Maggie Smith, Richard Harris, Alan Rickman, and more. Especially fine is the interplay between Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) and his schoolmates Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson), as well as his protector, the looming Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane). The second-half adventure–involving the titular sorcerer’s stone–doesn’t translate perfectly from page to screen, ultimately because of the film’s fid (more…)
