Following its initial publication in 1997 (UK) and 1998 (US), Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (Philosopher's Stone in its native UK) proved popular enough to get a movie deal from Warner Bros., with a film adaptation released in 2001. The rest is history, as the Harry Potter franchise has proven popular enough to spawn numerous multimedia tie-ins, chief among them video games, LEGO sets and an entire section of Universal Studios theme parks devoted to the series (based on the Hogsmeade location from the series). It has also received a series of spin-off films based on the tie-in book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, as well as a two-part (controversial) stage play (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) billed as Part 8 of the Harry Potter story. Though Harry Potter's story ends in the seventh book (which was split across two movies and began an industry trend of adapting a single book across multiple films because money), it appears that Harry Potter as a franchise is here to stay for the foreseeable future.
Update (1/3/2024): Our review of the sixth film specifically, written in 2011, received a DMCA claim for reasons still unknown to us back in 2022, for which we changed the poster and reposted it. Despite seemingly being fine for at least an entire year, this claim came back a second time tonight, again for seemingly unknown reasons, and was forced back into a Draft state. Following the link below will now lead to a non-existent page, and we have decided it will remain this way indefinitely as we consider our next course of action.
