The Times

There’s a gorgeous and deliberate fairytale innocence to this one that extends through to the ingenuous acting styles of the pre-teen cast.

Friendship, standing up for others, expressing compassion, generosity, perseverance, and the triumph of the underdog are also strong themes.

Rotten Tomatoes

...a painstakingly literal translation of J.K Rowling’s first novel, a near-perfect replica created with a kind of funhouse spectacle of the wonders of the magical world come to life.
