Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Single-Disc Widescreen Edition)

I received this quickly and it was exactly as described. I needed this to complete my set of the movies. Very satisfied.

This is great and works beautifully

Its been while since Harry Potter films graced the movie theaters, but I just had to write something in praise of these masterpieces, especially the first two movies. These remained probably the most faithful to the excellent books of all the movies, and I thinkall the films were excellent. Dumbledore was most faithfully played by Richard Harris, who unfortunately passed away before theseries got even half way through. His successor was OK but weak compared with Harris. But the wittiness of the characters suchas Herminine and Ron and the brilliant special effects kept the series strong especially later on when they became darker. I willwrite about the other movies later. I only objected to the title which in England was called Harry Potter and the Philosophers Stone instead of the Sorcerers Stone.I guess Warner Bros figured people in the US would not know what a Philosophers Stone was. Some minor changes in the storydid not alter the main story sequence from the book, which were brilliantly written by J. K. Rowling. She never talked down to thereader even though the books were supposedly written for children. The text is sophisticated and detailed and very descriptive.And I loved the train; I have a passion for steam locomotives and though the British ones look kind of odd without the cow catcheron the front, I will still take a dozen. Beautiful photography and scenery enhanced the visuals. And flawless special effects.If you haven't seen the films or read the books, I strongly recommend them if you like charming, funny, some sophistication andjust good story telling; these are not fairy tales yet are top notch fantasy movies. I got all of the movies from AMAZON as wellas the books. I give this book five stars. And little Harry, Ron and Herminine are so cute!

Some how misplaced my original movie. This will be a timeless classic. A great family film.

(See my comments above about Disc 2 with both the Full Screen and Wide Screen versions. You have to have them both.) Now, about this first film in the series: I expected to see something exceptional, fascinating, enchanting, and heart-warming -- after having read the book -- and my anticipation of what I thought I would see was blown away by a magnificent work of movie-making. This past week, I have watched both the full screen and wide screen versions while knitting caps and scarves for friends who are fans of a local American football team. Most enjoyable, I would say, is to hear the wonderful voices of the different actors.

I love this movie, and so happy for this product! When HP and the SS first came out on DVD, I spent way too much money on the cardboard, fold-out case with bonus discs and plastic inserts that came unglued and made the discs pop out. When my children finally, definitively destroyed both the case and the disc, it was time for a replacement. How happy it made me to find this very inexpensive, simplified presentation of this movie. It's a plastic case, when you open it, there is one simple disc that contains the movie. That's it! That's all I need! I may have to replace my Chamber of Secrets DVD as well.

If you're an adult looking for another way to enjoy this movie, find and mp3 of Wizard People, Dear Reader, download it, and play it while watching this movie on mute. It is HILARIOUS. It's a full-length narration, similar to RiffTrax. You can find the mp3s online. It's got some adult language, but it totally extends the life of the movie.Yes, he does it in a weird voice. But it is so funny you'll get past the voice quickly and your face will HURT with laughter.

Ottimo film in ottime condizioni

Il prodotto è arrivato nei tempi previsti, essendo usato presenta qualche piccolo segno di usura sulla copertina, ma per il resto è perfettamente funzionante. L'ho acquistato perché avevo la versione ad un solo cd e volevo completare la mia collezione con la versione originale dei dvd.

loved movie, added to my collection

En tant que Potterhead, ce coffret ultimate est absolument génial !La version longue est sympa, dommage que certaines scènes coupées n'étaient pas présentes dans la version cinéma.Très belles images dans le livret, bonus inédits dans les bluray qui nous apprend beaucoup sur la réalisation de la saga !Les petites cartes à collectionner sont un +, parfaites pour un fan mais assez inutiles dans le cas contraire.Rien à redire à part qu'il est dommage que cette édition ultimate ne soit disponible en français que pour les films 1 et 2 ...

I had seen a version of The Philosopher’s Stone “ vs The Sorcerer’s Stone and there were more scenes in The Sorcerer’s Stone version. I thought I was purchasing the version with the added scenes But it turned out it was not the complete version I was expecting.
