A very glossy and exuberant adaptation of the first book in J.K. Rowling's mega-best-selling series about boy wizard-in-training Harry Potter's (Daniel Radcliffe) adventures at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone "The Movie" certainly has an infectious charm. But the truth is that overly self-indulgent director Chris Columbus (Bicentennial Man) could have cut out the entire middle of this two-and-a-half-hour flick and if you hadn't read the book you'd never know the difference. As it is, most of the movie consists of showy set pieces that--while enjoyable to watch--don't service the plot so much as obligingly recreate the novel's minutiae. In fact, the film is half over before the "sorcerer's stone" of the title is even mentioned (yet, with so much time, Columbus hardly fleshes out his characters). Still, it's fun overall, and considering the popularity and the sell-through price, this will fly off the shelves faster than the Golden Snitch through the hands of a lollygagging Seeker. Recommended. (R. Blackweld Copyright 2003 Video Librarian Reviews
