‘Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone’ (2001)

The Plot: The first chapter in the film series introduces the world of Harry Potter in his first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Unaware of his true calling, the orphan Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) lives in the outskirts of London with his nasty aunt and uncle and their spoiled brat of a son (all three are Muggles — persons not born into the magical world). On his 11th birthday, Harry receives repeated invitations to attend Hogwarts, despite his uncle’s efforts to block them. Harry is escorted by the gentle giant Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) to get his magical gear and go to school, whose headmaster is the wise old wizard Dumbledore (Richard Harris), and he also learns about his mysterious past: His parents were murdered by an evil wizard named Voldemort when he was just a baby, and he is now widely known as “The Boy Who Lived.” Harry befriends loyal comrades Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), and a mystery soon unfolds when the trio stumble upon a plot to steal the coveted Sorcerer’s Stone (which can deliver the power of immortality), hidden in the dungeons of Hogwarts. At first suspecting Potions Professor Snape (Alan Rickman), it turns out that Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor Quirrell (Ian Hart) plans to use the Stone to help resurrect Voldemort.

The Highlights: Harry’s magic wand chooses him in Diagon Alley; the Sorting Hat picks Gryffindor House for Harry along with Ron and Hermione; Harry’s first Quidditch match, in which he captures the golden snitch — and almost swallows it; the trio must get past Fluffy, the giant three-headed dog; Lord Voldemort reveals himself in the back of Quirrell’s head.

When various people and then Hermione are found petrified, Harry discovers that someone has opened the Chamber of Secrets, unleashing a fearsome serpentine monster. Pompous Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Gilderoy Lockhart (Kenneth Branagh) does more harm than good to help the situation, while a former Hogwarts student, Tom Riddle (Christian Coulson), has been manipulating Ron’s little sister, Ginny (Bonnie Wright), to do his bidding. Harry discovers that Riddle is actually a memory preserved in a diary, and learns that he went on to become He Who Must Not Be Named, Lord Voldemort. Armed with his magic wand and Ron by his side, Harry heads down into the Chamber of Secrets to save Ginny, confront the deadly Basilisk, and destroy Riddle’s diary.

Dangerous guards of Azkaban, Dementors, circle Hogwarts to protect the school, providing for some close calls with Harry, and Remus Lupin (David Thewlis), a werewolf, steps in as Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher to mentor Harry and prepare him to defend himself. But it turns out that Sirius, Harry’s godfather, was framed and is looking to clear his name. The real culprit is Peter Pettigrew (Timothy Spall), who has been disguised as Ron’s rat for the last 12 years while Sirius was falsely accused of his murder. As the Dementors move in to capture Sirius, Harry and Hermione use her magical Time-Turner pendant to turn back time and help him escape.

Three students from different schools are chosen to compete in a trio of death-defying challenges, and Harry’s name is chosen from the Goblet of Fire, even though he is too young to participate. Meanwhile, Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher Mad-Eye Moody (Brendan Gleeson) is tasked to look after Harry and protect him from the evil forces of Voldemort. The Triwizard Yule Ball is coming up, and Harry wants to ask Cho Chang (Katie Leung), who he has a crush on, but his Triwizard competitor, Cedric Diggory (a pre-’Twilight’ Robert Pattinson), has beaten him to it. During the final challenge, Harry saves Cedric in a labyrinth and the two agree to grab the coveted Triwizard Cup at the same time, unexpectedly transporting them to a graveyard where Voldemort’s minion, Peter Pettigrew, lies in wait.

A Ministry official, Umbridge runs with a decidedly stricter set of rules, posting each new one on the wall, and soon usurps Dumbledore as headmaster of Hogwarts, forbidding practical magic. But a rebellious Harry, Ron and Hermione secretly organize “Dumbledore’s Army” and practice defensive magic — with the help of the hidden Room of Requirement — to take on Voldemort’s band of “Death Eaters,” including Draco’s father Lucius Malfoy (Jason Isaacs) and Bellatrix Lestrange (Helena Bonham Carter).
