The all-new 4K restored 3D version of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone will be re-released in mainland China from August 14.
There are too many classic moments in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (the Philosopher's Stone): Dumbledore's lights-off machine sucks out the lights, Hagrid descends from the sky on a motorcycle, Harry talking to a snake, vanishing glass, flying letters...
J.K. Rowling has laid many foreshadowings in one of the thinnest books in the series, and the clever design and foresight are amazing.
Many of the scenes in the film are even more unforgettable, and some of the shots seem quite frightening and frightening today (the scene of the two-faced man revealing his true face, I am afraid that it has become a childhood shadow for many viewers), and it is also thanks to his own courage at that time...
So, let's move on to the previous issue, revisit the place where magic began, and review the 40 most amazing moments of The Philosopher's Stone!
11. The wand of destiny
One of the most exciting stops on this shopping trip is, of course, the Ollivander Wand Shop.
Harry had chosen the most suitable wand—holly, phoenix feathers, eleven inches long.
Curiously, the wand's core came from Dumbledore's phoenix, and its two tail feathers happened to be made into the wands of Voldemort and Harry.
As Monsieur Ollivander has repeatedly emphasized, it is the wand that chooses the wizard, not the other way around. The mysterious connection between the wand and the wizard can be seen here.
12, the great difficulty does not die
Pressed by Harry, Hagrid finally told him everything that had happened ten years earlier. Harry first learned Voldemort's name and was not afraid to say it.
This flashback in the script was written by Rowling herself, because only she knew exactly what was going on, and could be accurate without revealing much.
There is a similar scene in Fantastic Beasts: Crimes of Grindelwald: Grindelwald discovers that there is a child among the victims, but instead of doing it himself, he asks his men to cut the grass and remove the roots.
13, nine and three-quarters of the platform
"Nine and three-quarters of the platform? Are you making fun of me? The person who said this line is considered to be "his own performance", but he is the train manager in reality, not the platform attendant.
Thankfully, Harry soon met the Weasleys, learned how to cross the nine-and-three-quarter platform, and an evergreen friendship began quietly.
Harry trotted all the way to the wall and plunged headlong into the exciting wizarding world. He doesn't linger, because the unknown in front of him is much more exciting than the old life behind him.
14. The train arrives at the station
Climb aboard the Hogwarts Express and the journey begins.
The train wasn't as luxurious, but like Hogwarts Castle, it had an unusual status in every student's heart, a sense of home-like familiarity.
It was on the train that the three protagonists got together for the first time!
In order to make the performance work of the three young actors as smooth as possible, the director arranged the shooting according to the story timeline. However, the departure scene and the end of the school scene were filmed together, because only these two scenes used trains.
15, smile at the scar
Harry and Ron are officially meeting! Ron's pleasing and slightly clumsy personality begins to manifest itself here: as soon as he heard Harry's name, he couldn't help but ask him about the scar, but he was also afraid of offending.
Harry had been able to laugh at his tragic origin story after years of honing himself at the Dursleys, showing off his trademark lightning scar.
Affected by the cover of the book, everyone has always thought that the scar is centered, but in fact, this is never clear in the book, and the location of the scar in the film is specified by Rowling.
16. First sight of Hogwarts
The first-year students who got off the train took a boat to their magical mecca, Hogwarts. Embellished by moonlight and lights, this huge castle school is fully revealed, which is very shocking.
In the late Middle Ages, four great wizards, Godric Gryffindor, Helga Hufflepuff, Lovina Ravenclaw and Salazar Slytherin, together with wizarding architects, built Hogwarts and founded four colleges under their name.
In this castle, Harry went to the room where the Philosopher's Stone was stored, the Chamber of Secrets, participated in Quidditch matches, found the House of Requirement, and eventually killed Voldemort in the school.
In order to perfectly present Hogwarts, 86 designers and staff designed the school with references to Durham Cathedral and Annick Castle, using fiber optic lights to simulate lanterns and students walking through the corridors, with perfect details. This model of the castle was also used for school location shooting for each subsequent film.
17. Branch
This is one of the most important scenes in Philosopher's Stone.
Ron's phrase "No Dark Wizard is not from Slytherin" set the stereotype of the Snake House and made Harry afraid that he would be assigned to Slytherin.
It wasn't until the seventh part that we learned that the Sorting Hat had also sensed voldemort's soul fragment in Harry's body at this time, fortunately, in addition to assessing the students' characteristics, the Sorting Hat also respected the students' free will and ideals, and Harry inadvertently made an important choice in his life.
"Sorting" is one of the most talked about topics among fans, even celebrities. Many celebrities have done pottermore tests or made it public that they belong to a certain college.
Gryffindor got Daniel Radcliffe, Tom Holland, Margo Robbie, Andrew Lincoln, Kit Harrington;
In a spoof video from "Chicken Feather Show", Kit also dressed up as Harry Potter...
Slytherin has Arianna Grande, Tom Felton, Lin-Manuel Miranda;
In 2015, someone tweeted @Lin Juju saying he was definitely Hufflepuff, and Lin Juju replied: "Hissing Slytherin." You don't understand me. ”
Ravenclawstiti "Buckle Bear" Stephen Kobayer (the result he personally asked Rowling) and Darren Chris;
Darren Chris considers himself Ravenclaw, but he played Harry Potter in Harry Potter Fanfle
Unexpectedly, Hufflepuff has the most stars, including Eddie Redmayne, Rupert Grint, Matthew Lewis, Natalie Dommer, Dwayne Johnson, and even Deadpool (who wore a Wizard's robe in Hufflepuff's color matching in one issue of the comics)!
18, eat, never stop
Shortly after the snack feast on the train, Ron opened his bow left and right to eat chicken legs...
Nothing seems to stop Ron's appetite, and this picture of eating chicken legs has become one of the most classic memes in the Harry Potter series.
At this moment, Ron's foodie attributes have begun to appear, and later he made Hermione send out "Can you not eat?" Such a soul questioned.
But then again, the cute and simple Ron plus the chicken leg that is difficult to refuse, it is estimated that no one will not love it.

19. First night
It was a very long day for Harry, and when he finally reached the dormitory, he didn't sleep, sitting by the window and caressing Hedwig, looking at the sparkling moat and smiling.
Hagrid's breaking through the door and bringing him cakes and letters seemed to have happened yesterday, and now he was a "world-famous" wizard and had been assigned to Gryffindor Academy. The sound of the crowd's slumber rose and fell, and Harry knew that from then on he had a new home and a new group of friends.
20. Late arrival
They hadn't slept much last night, and Hogwarts was like a labyrinth again, so Harry and Ron were late for their morning transfiguration class.
Ron was also foolish to think that Professor McGonagall was not there, and did not notice Malfoy's snickering.
Professor McGonagall, an Animagus, showed great power, and in full view of everyone, he changed from a spotted cat back to a human form (said to be a punch card project for first-year students) and taught the two harshly.
In the original book, this class should be more lively, but here for the sake of the plot needs, it has been changed to "self-study".
