...Rowling’s literary wit and vision. Characters that prove to play essential roles in the stories to follow are often carelessly inserted, solely for the purpose of displaying them on-screen, if only for a few minutes each. Admittedly, part of the problem is the book itself; Sorcerer??€™s Stone was created as the first of seven installments concerning Harry’s education at Hogwarts. Rowling’s novels grow only increasingly dark as her narrative progresses, pulling us into a more complex and intriguing world of magic...

Opening on over 8,000 screens across America (more than any other release in history), Harry Potter and the Sorcerer??€™s Stone is a guaranteed blockbuster. But as exciting and luscious as the film is to watch, devoted fans are sure to be somewhat disappointed. Yes, the film is faithful, but it fails to capture the heart and magic of Rowling’s words. Such is the curse of filmmaking—it destroys the innocence and imaginative visions that are inspired through reading...

John Williams’s latest effort, the soundtrack to the much-anticipated movie adaptation of J. K. Rowling’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer??€™s Stone, is no exception.

...enjoy the Harry Potter soundtrack for what it is—not a brand-new idea, but great movie music, Williams style. And after fans see the film a few dozen times, and a few pops orchestras play the score at holiday concerts, maybe Harry Potter and the Sorcerer??€™s Stone will join Superman, Raiders of the Lost Ark and so many other Williams works in the canon of American pop culture, forever etched in our collective consciousness...

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer??€™s Stone opens today, starring Daniel Radcliffe as You-Know-Who—or rather, He-Whose-Name-I-Am-Sick-Of. I can just envision the hordes of would-be wizards, both young and old, stampeding theaters, wearing sorcerer??€™s hats and round glasses, even getting that oh-so-clever bolt of lightning tattooed on their foreheads: Think Pokemon and Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, only a hundred times worse...
