Director Chris Colombus was very ambitious on taking J.K. Rowling's first book in the great Harry Potter literary series and I must say... He excuted the movie perfectly. As a fan of the books, I felt that the casting of Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) was perfect! The child actors truly reflected the amazing personas of our major protagonist and fellow characters. With huge actors of major success such as Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman, favourite professors at Hogwarts was brought to life! I can't deny that I am beyond happy that my favourite quote from the book made an appearance in the movie In the wise words of Professor Dumbledore, "Alas! Earwax!"
