Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), son of a wizard, was raised up by his mother's sisters family (since he was only a little baby when they first met). His parents died when he was only a little kid and that by a powerful wizard, named Voldemort. 11 years later Harry gets a letter from Hogwarts wizard academy and starts to attend that school. On the train there he met Ron and Hermione, and they later on becomes friends. On Harry's journey to the wizard world both great and dangerous things happens and ...

I have read the book before watching the movie, this time, and I got annoyed with a few things but I accept it because a movie is a movie as a book is a book. When a book becomes a movie there are of course a few changes in the story that needs to change so that the storyline is good enough to be played.

I think this movie is a fantasy classic, it's got magic spells, wizards, centaurs, mugglers, trolls.
I rate this movie 8/10 stars, though I completely love it the things that was missing was a message and some drama.

Language: English

3 Notable actors: Michael J. Willett, Paul Iacono, Joanna "JoJo" Levesque.







Tanner (Michael J. Willett) and Brent (Paul Iacono) are two closeted gay best friends who attends a high school dominated by 3 queen bees who wants a GBF, a gay best friend. They all think that a GBF is someone you can toy around with but once Soledad (Joanna "JoJo" Levesque) forms a LGBTQ group she, in a way, forces Tanner out of the closet. With Tanner being officially out as gay the queen bees gets to him quick and Tanner's life takes a dramatic change to become a real life GBF toy.

This movie brings out what a real GBF is and what it looks to be but isn't. I think this movie is all about the laughter but also try for the LGBTQ community. There are critics about this movie and in my opinon I do agree with some of the critics but this is a movie worth watching for fun. So, I hereby rate this movie 4/10 stars. In this genre it's not really missing anything but for my 10 stars it's for what I want to see, explore and enjoy.

That's all for this movie weekend. Hope you enjoyed the new layout and the text itself.

Bye for now, hello for later.
