On this day – 16th November 2001 – The first Harry Potter movie was released
The first premier of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s /Sorceress’s
Stone had been on November 4th in London. The general premier in UK
and USA was on the 16th of November, 14 years ago. Warner Bros had
bought the right to the book for 1million£ in 1999. The production started in
2000, and it 2001 was the first movie released. J.K Rowling, the author, had
required the whole cast in the movies to be either British or Irish. The
director of the movie was Columbus who was known for Home Alone and Ms.
Doubtfire previously. Steven Spielberg had also negotiated with Warner Bros
about being the director, but he declined the offer because he wanted the movie
to be an animation with an American actor as the voice of Harry Potter.
What do you think of the adoption of the book into the
movie? Leave us your comments!
