And it makes for one smooth story and very enjoyable movie-going experience. Though many events from the book were excluded, the essential ones made it to the film. The screenplay, by Steven Kloves, stripped away all unnecessary elements to get to the root of the story. The film flowed quite smoothly in it's transition from page to screen, never tripping on the awkward conventions that other books on film have struggled with. The sets were stunning - the actors were first rate - the effects were breathtaking. I feel, next to Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the best book-to-movie adaptation that I've ever seen. Harry's Meditation: Harry and Ron discuss the Mirror of Erised.Finding Flamel: Harry, Ron, and Hermione discover Nicholas Flamel's name in a wizard card while looking for a counter curse for Neville's leg locker curse.Snape's Class: An extended version of Snape's potions class.On the train: Hagrid and Harry take the train to London, and Hagrid reveals his love for dragons.Cracking Eggs: Aunt Petunia opens egg cartons and cracks them, discovering rolled up letters from Hogwarts addressed to Harry.Dudley's Uniform: Aunt Petunia dyes Dudley's old uniform gray so Harry could use it as his school uniform (before Harry receives the letter from Hogwarts.).The deleted scenes added back into the movie are:
The 2009 Ultimate Edition DVD/Blu-ray release includes this cut as well. It was first shown on TV networks (ABC in the US, several international broadcasts had the same extended showing) in 2004. Since the magic cannot be reversed, Harry is forced to go with it and brave three exceedingly difficult tasks.There is an extended cut of the film running about 159 minutes vs the theatrical version runs 152 minutes. On the night of selection, however, the Goblet spews out four names instead of the usual three, with Harry unwittingly being selected as the Fourth Champion. The contestants have to be above the age of seventeen, and are chosen by a magical object called "The Goblet of Fire". That same year, Hogwarts is hosting "The Triwizard Tournament", a magical tournament between three well-known schools of magic : Hogwarts, Beauxbatons, and Durmstrang.
They get the tickets to The Quidditch World Cup Final, but after the match is over, people dressed like Lord Voldemort's (Ralph Fiennes') "Death Eaters" set a fire to all of the visitors' tents, coupled with the appearance of Voldemort's symbol, the "Dark Mark" in the sky, which causes a frenzy across the magical community. Harry's (Daniel Radcliffe's) fourth year at Hogwarts is about to start and he is enjoying the summer vacation with his friends.
