Here's one thing I can do better than Hermione

The waiting is over. Harry Potter's hit the big screen. And the verdict? Here are the views which really count from our junior reviewers.

First up is 9-year-old Alex Sotheran from Radcliffe on Trent.

The Harry Potter film is fascinating and was the best film I've ever seen.

It wasn't so scary but the bit that I thought was scary was at the end with Quirrell and Lord Voldemort's face. In the book it's described as "Where there should have been a back to Quirrell's head, there was a face, the most terrible face Harry had ever seen." In the film that was the bit that would have scared my little brother Harry aged 4.

The film did not really follow the book in all detail and kept missing out bits - it really should have included the second Quiddich match (Gryffindor vs Hufflepuff).

Top marks for Robbie's portrayal of Hagrid

But in any case the best bit was definitely the Quiddich because it was really dramatic and made you feel as though you could really fly and made me wanted to play.

I was shocked to find that they introduced a swear word into the film even though it wasn't in the book but at least it was in a funny part.

I would certainly go to Hogwarts and I'm sure that you would too!

My best characters were probably Dumbledore, Harry, Ron Hermione, Hagrid and Snape who are just as I imagined in the book except Snape's hair which I thought would be the colour blond.

Out of all the films I've seen I would give Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone 5/5 and the other films that I've seen 4/5. It was really fab, and I can't wait for the second film - I have to go and see this again with my mum!
