In today's episode of The Third Reel, we review, in full, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (or Sorcerer's Stone if you're in the States).

This is part of our Review Series where we will be going act by act, scene by scene, and scoring out of 10 each film in the franchise from Harry's measly beginnings to his triumphant end. 8 films in total, better get going then. Once we reach that last film, we shall see TTR's definitive ranking of the Harry Potter universe...

FULL SPOILERS FOR HARRY POTTER AND THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE IN THIS EPISODE. You have been warned.

This episode was recorded prior to passing of the legendary Dame Maggie Smith, whose iconic portrayal of Professor McGonagall remains forever in our hearts. So please forgive the lack of acknowledgement in this episode and know we will honour her in a future Harry Potter episode.
