From the small page to the big screen.
William Shakespeare is no longer among the living. Neither is Charles Dickens. Or Tupac—we think.
Our point? J.K. Rowling has a leg up on these guys when it comes to Hollywood adapting her work for the silver screen. Let's take a completely random example to show you what we mean: When some big-shot producer says 'let's put Demi Moore in The Scarlet Letter and turn it into a feminist statement,' Nathaniel Hawthorne has to sit there in his cold, clammy grave and take it. Rowling, on the other hand, can hop on the phone and say, 'You best drop that idea or I'll sic my slavering hordes of attack lawyers on you.' (Not a direct quote.)
And sure enough, when her bestselling Harry Potter books were turned into a blockbuster movie series, Rowling was in on the ground floor, making sure that everything looked just right.
But there's one problem: her books are bigger than the average movie-going audience member can handle—especially with a movie theater drink big enough to sink a depth charge in and limited time to run to the bathroom. So while the films are usually pretty accurate—or at least Rowling-approved—they tend to see some pretty big cuts. A tendency that holds up even in the relatively short opening novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (or Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone for those of you in Merry Olde England).
What's the Same
Director Chris Columbus claims he worked very closely with Rowling to get every little detail right (source), and we believe him. The movie's plot hugs the book so tightly that it even snatches a good deal of dialogue right from the novel itself.
And it's not just the plot that gets the royal accuracy treatment; the visuals stay close to Rowling's descriptions, too—in a Hollywood theme park kind of way, of course. Why? Well, Columbus seems to be on the hunt for realism and believability. Everything has to make logical sense, even if it's a ghost like Nearly Headless Nick or field full of boys on flying broomsticks. So our director takes great pains not only to make every one of Rowling's descriptions come to life, but to light them up like Christmas trees and make sure we get a good look at 'em. Want an example? Just take a look at that famous shot of Hogwarts.
What's Different
For a two-and-a-half-hour film, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone seems to fly by. But even us Potterphiles are glad it didn't pass the 160-minute mark, so we won't whine over all the major excisions.
Our first missing piece: Peeves, a mischievous ghost who torments the Hogwarts residents, but couldn't avoid the chopping block of the screenplay. (And, of course, since he was dropped here, he stays dropped for the remainder of the films in the saga.) Professor Binns, the schools' ghostly history professor, is gone, too, along with the Sorting Hat's snazzy song. You might not be crying over these omissions, but you probably noticed the bigger cut that goes down toward the end: Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint), and Hermione (Emma Watson) skip over some of the book's major obstacles—like Professor Snape's potion challenge and Professor Quirrell's troll—on their way to the Sorcerer's stone. Make it look easy, why don't you?
Another change? Those of you who like to stare deep into your favorite characters' eyes might have noticed that Harry's, um, aren't green. The filmmakers tried green contact lenses to cover Radcliffe's baby blues, but the actor had a bad reaction (source). The result? Movie Harry is a bit more Sinatra-esque than book Harry. But the show must go on.
And one last thing. You'll hear a lot of Potter people complaining that the movie is a little stodgy because of all the describing and, you know… describing. The film spends so much time explaining what this or that wonderful doodad does—or what Bernie Botts' Beans are good for—that the story get can a little lost in the mix. But we need to remember that this was just the first of a seven-novel epic, and while fans of the book knew what it was all about, tons of newbies still needed to be told what Hogwarts was all about. So The Sorcerer's Stone is just taking one for the team—getting all the plot exposition out of the way so the rest of the movies can properly rock and roll.
So Shmoopers, what do you think? Does The Sorcerer's Stone rock and roll, too? Shmoop amongst yourselves.
Three high-spirited, clear-eyed kids populate the center of the movie. Daniel Radcliffe plays Harry Potter, he with the round glasses, and like all of the young characters he looks much as I imagined him, but a little older. He once played David Copperfield on the BBC, and whether Harry will be the hero of his own life in this story is much in doubt at the beginning.
Deposited as a foundling on a suburban doorstep, Harry is raised by his aunt and uncle as a poor relation, then summoned by a blizzard of letters to become a student at Hogwarts School, an Oxbridge for magicians. Our first glimpse of Hogwarts sets the tone for the movie's special effects. Although computers can make anything look realistic, too much realism would be the wrong choice for 'Harry Potter,' which is a story in which everything, including the sets and locations, should look a little made up. The school, rising on ominous Gothic battlements from a moonlit lake, looks about as real as Xanadu in 'Citizen Kane,' and its corridors, cellars and great hall, although in some cases making use of real buildings, continue the feeling of an atmospheric book illustration. At Hogwarts, Harry makes two friends and an enemy. The friends are Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), whose merry face and tangled curls give Harry nudges in the direction of lightening up a little, and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint), all pluck, luck and untamed talents. The enemy is Draco Malfoy (Tom Felton), who will do anything, and plenty besides, to be sure his house places first at the end of the year.

The story you either already know, or do not want to know. What is good to know is that the adult cast, a who's who of British actors, play their roles more or less as if they believed them. There is a broad style of British acting, developed in Christmas pantomimes, which would have been fatal to this material; these actors know that, and dial down to just this side of too much. Watch Alan Rickman drawing out his words until they seem ready to snap, yet somehow staying in character. Maggie Smith, still in the prime of Miss Jean Brodie, is Prof. Minerva McGonagall, who assigns newcomers like Harry to one of the school's four houses. Richard Harris is headmaster Dumbledore, his beard so long that in an Edward Lear poem, birds would nest in it. Robbie Coltrane is the gamekeeper, Hagrid, who has a record of misbehavior and a way of saying very important things and then not believing that he said them.

Computers are used, exuberantly, to create a plausible look in the gravity-defying action scenes. Readers of the book will wonder how the movie visualizes the crucial game of Quidditch. The game, like so much else in the movie, is more or less as I visualized it, and I was reminded of Stephen King's theory that writers practice a form of telepathy, placing ideas and images in the heads of their readers. (The reason some movies don't look like their books may be that some producers don't read them.) If Quidditch is a virtuoso sequence, there are other set pieces of almost equal wizardry. A chess game with life-size, deadly pieces. A room filled with flying keys. The pit of tendrils, already mentioned, and a dark forest where a loathsome creature threatens Harry but is scared away by a centaur. And the dark shadows of Hogwarts library, cellars, hidden passages and dungeons, where an invisibility cloak can keep you out of sight but not out of trouble.
