Ratings and reviews

The film that started a multi-billion dollar franchise that left me feeling "meh" at the end of it without much appreciation for the world building from the childlike atmosphere.

It would a been nice if my 24 hr rental lasted more than 15 minutes. Rented and started immediately, I got to when Harry started getting letters from Hogwarts and pop up said my rental time was over. Ummm? Should of just rented on comcast.

My life was scared and I didn't know what survival was till I saw this.. Harry potter is my friends luck. Anyways take my opinion with a grain of stupid berry otter
