Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone- Analysis 1
Although made for children series, it is
also enjoyed by many adults; Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, released in
the U.S. November 14, 2001, was the beginning of what became one of the biggest
phenomenons in movie history. The first movie of the Harry Potter series was
about a young orphan boy who was eventually sent to Hogwarts School of
Witchcraft and Wizardry and was introduced to a world of evil, love, hate,
magic and rebirths. Although Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone started a
series of very popular movies since its debut, it did not go without its share
of popular beliefs or myths associated with its production (ABC Family, 2012).
Some of the popular beliefs associated
with Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is that, according to reviews done
by Common Sense media, children ages 7 gave the movie 5 stars and it is believe to be a great movie and every
family should enjoy it (Common Sense, 2005, November 8). But of course the
success of Harry Potter does not come with some negative criticism; some
Christians believe that it promotes witchcraft. The Christians parents believe
that the movie will make children want to indulge more into the dark world. One
myth that is also associated with Harry Potter is that it was plagiarized; some
believe that the work in Harry Potter was copied from another author who is now
deceased. In 2011 a U.S. judge dismissed the lawsuit claim against author J.K.
Rowlings (The Huffington Post, 2011). Despite the beliefs and myths associated
with the debut of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, whatever they may be,
it still continues to be a popular fiction for children of all ages all over.
