Little did you know what a giant of entertainment the Harry Potter series of films would become, but you and your team brought our favourite magical world to the screen so beautifully. We loved Philosopher’s Stone so much that we saw it at the cinema five times, and we were senior citizens! I hope you have as happy a birthday as the time we spent watching your creation. Happy Birthday, Chris!

Happy birthday Chris and thanks for all you have done for Harry Potter fans! You did an amazing job with Dan, Rupert and Emma. You were faithful to the books and every time I pop in the DVD of Sorcerer’s Stone I am grateful for your work. I wish you many years of successful movie making! Celebrate!

I was just watching the Sorcerer’s Stone which I hadn’t watched for a couple of years, and I really liked it. My opinion on Chris got better at this point. It was a nicely directed movie. Chamber of Secrets had more cheesy parts and bad acting though. My favorite HP movies are now the odd numbered ones: PS, POA and OOTP.

Happy Birthday to a wonderfully gifted film maker. Thank you for your “director’s intution” and staying true to the author and her book. Your artistry made the Sorcerer’s Stone our favorite film of the series. We never tire watching and we re-enjoy all the magic and wonderment as if we were watching it for the 1st time each and every time. It’s like watching any classic movie, such as Casablanca, it always leaves us wanting more.
