HAPPY NEW YEAR Everyone and Welcome to the beginning of the Harry Potter 2011 Movie Challenge!

We are so excited to start the challenge and are really looking forward to sharing our reading experience with all of you.

Movie – Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone

You have from today, January 1, 2011 until January 31, 2011, to watch the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.

Once you are done watching it make sure you write a review or an opinion piece on either your blog or any of the following places:

Rotten Tomatoes
Amazon
YouTube
GetGlue
Daemon’s Movies Comment Section

We will have a post up for you on February 1, 2011 to share links to your reviews, opinion pieces or to write comments (for those participating by leaving comments on Daemon’s Movies). This will count as proof of your participation.

(Reminder: Each proof of participation will give you one entry into our final big and exciting giveaway. There will be only one entry per book (no multiple entries even if you put multiple links). That means that if you complete the challenge from beginning to end and provide us with proof of your participation for each book you will have 7 entries.)

Annebell

I’ve watched both versions, how it came out in the theaters and the extended version that ABC Family had been showing and the new DVD’s. I watch the extended version every month. The version with the added sceens is just soo much better. This movie is one of my favorites of all of the Harry Potter movies so far. One of my favorite seens is when Norbert was hatched. It took extreme talent and imagination to make the book come to life. Like the floating candles and pumkins that are in the great hall. The movie takes you away to the magical world of Harry Potter. Christopher Columbus has done a marvious job taking the book and making it seem real. I love the way he changed the seasons and the little humor he has added. You can not catch everything the first time you see it. It one of those movies that everytime you watch it you see something that you had missed. The Centar’s in the forbidden forest could have been a little better. But I highly recommend seeing the extended version.
