Harry potter and the sorcerers stone book movie

I absolutely loved listening to it! I had definitely forgotten certain differences between the book and the movie. I listed them in chronological order. I feel that all the details that were taken out of the film were fitting to allow for a reasonable time lenght. The first movie is already over two hours long. The fact that I could only come up with 7 major difference is a testament to how well done the adaptation is.

I know what you're thinking — Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the closest book-to-film translation you've ever seen. And you might be right. All of the most important parts of J. Rowling's first Harry Potter novel appear in the film adaptation, there's even exact replication of dialogue. And, sorry, people, but Sorcerer's Stone , while a perfect introduction to the film series, is really not that much like the book. Here's the blessing and the curse of being a Harry Potter fan — sometimes you have to choose between the books and the movies.
