Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone [Special Widescreen Edition]

Good movie, but not enough features. First disc good, dont like second

Given the scale and scope of this movie, I was surprised to find I enjoyed it more at home than I did in the theater. Perhaps this is due to knowing what to expect on a second viewing, but the scaling down of the presentation matched my scaled-down expectations.

Here's hoping Cuaron puts a spin on things in the Prisoner of Azkaban...

Sean (if he can spin that one, George W. could use him on his campaign!...

Daniel Radcliffe was recently on Conan Obrien. He was so nervous. It looked like he was really uncomfortable. But he was hilarious in the way he was talking about stuff.

He mentioned he had seen the first movie on tv and ended up slapping the tv thinking something was wrong with the sound but then realized his voice was just that high pitched. After watching the Azkaban trailer I would of said he was older than 15 but he isn't.

Can someone explain to me the reasoning for the different namings in other regions?

"The Philosopher's Stone"

I read that Rowling's original title, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" was changed because the publisher wasn't sure that American audiences would understand it.

Likewise, the original title of Ian Fleming's "Licence Revoked" was changed to "Licence to Kill" because the producers weren't sure if the viewing audience would understand the meaning of "Revoked."

John,

Yes, that's true. Scholastic didn't think that "Philosopher" would appeal to kids. "Sorcerer" conjures up all the magical things that kids like, though.
