Great Moments: Dumbledore putting out the lights.
Hagrid flying in on a flying motorcycle.
Harry making the glass on a snake exhibit disappear, causing Dudley to
fall in and allowing the snake to escape.
Harry making the glass reappear, trapping Dudley inside.
The owls spamming the Dursley household with hundreds of letters from
Hogwarts to Harry telling him that he has been admitted to Hogwarts.
Why do the owls who deliver the letters remain? Since only one owl
would be needed to take back Harry's reply, why don't the rest return to
Hogwarts so as to avoid making the Muggles suspicious? IMHO, Vernon
should sue Hogwarts for spamming him.
Hagrid bursting into the cabin where the Dursley family has sought
refuge from the rain of letters.
Hagrid giving Dudley a pig's tail.
Diagon Alley.
The Nimbus 2000 broom. Why is the handle crooked?
Gringotts Bank and its goblin tellers.
Harry Potter's fortune. I wonder if wizards have checks so that they
wouldn't have to haul all those Galleons around.
Hagrid removing a dingy bag from vault 713.
Harry Potter trying out wands and trashing the wand shop.
Harry getting the brother of Voldemort's wand.
Hagrid barely getting out Voldemort's name. He says that he can't spell
it. Why can't Hagrid spell it? Doesn't he know how to spell?
Just after the scenes of Hagrid helping Harry go shopping for school, we
see Hagrid leaving Harry at the train station. The fact that Hagrid is
rubbing the place where he stashed the bag from vault 713 indicates that
Harry went off to Hogwarts on the very same day that Hagrid took him
shopping. In the book, the two events are separated by a little more
than a month.
Harry's chocolate frog escaping from the train.
Neville finding his toad at Hogwarts, after losing it on the train.
The floating candles.
The House Sorting ceremony. McGonagall calls out the names or Hermione
Granger, Draco Malfoy, Susan Bones, Ronald Weasley, and Harry Potter.
Why isn't she calling up the students in alphabetical order? Potter
asks not to be put in Slytherin. Why in the next movie does he say that
he asked to go to Gryffindor when in this movie, he only said "not
Slytherin"?
The Hogwarts ghosts.
McGonagall turning back into a human from a cat, impressing Ron.
McGonagall suggesting that she transfigure Ron or Harry into a pocket
watch to help them make her class on time, or into a map to help them
find their way.
Snape hazing Potter by asking him difficult potions questions.
Ironically, Harry was taking notes when Snape started picking on him.
Owls bringing the mail to the students at breakfast.
Neville's Rememberall.
The broom flying lesson. Hermione's broom rolling over, and Ron's broom
hitting him on the nose. When Neville goes flying out of control, why
doesn't the teacher immediately hop on a broom to go after him?
Draco stealing Neville's Rememberall and flying up. Harry flying up
after him, then catching the Rememberall in front of McGonagall.
Harry being named Seeker of the Gryffindor Quidditch team. His Dad was
a Seeker too.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione running into a giant three headed dog.
Harry hitting a Bludger right in between two upraised swords on a
statue.
Hermione levitating a feather in Charm's class.
Neville burning his feather.
The floating pumpkins at Halloween.
Quirrell running into the dining hall yelling "There's a troll in the
dungeon!".
The troll smashing up the girl's bathroom in an effort to smash
Hermione.
Ron and Harry fighting the troll in the girl's bathroom. Harry sticking
his wand up the troll's nose (ick!). Ron levitating the troll's club.
The troll's look of confusing when it notices the loss of its club. The
club falling on the troll's head.
The Gryffindor/Slytherin Quidditch game: A Slytherin knocking out
Keeper Wood with a Bludger. Two Slytherins propelling a Chaser into a
banner. Harry Potter's broom going crazy. Why isn't time out called at
that point? Hermione setting Snape's cloak on fire (thinking that Snape
is hexing the broom). Harry Potter standing up on his broom, falling
off, and swallowing the Snitch. Will this be called the Potter
Maneuver?
Hagrid dragging a Christmas tree with a rope.
Flitwick using a wand to install Christmas tree ornaments.
Ron and Harry playing wizard chess, in which the chess pieces smash and
pieces they take off the board.
Why do Ron and Harry say "Happy Christmas" rather than "Merry
Christmas"?
Harry getting an Invisibility Cloak. Harry using it to enter the
library's Restricted Section. Harry finding a screaming book.
After Harry eludes the caretaker, Snape, and Quirrell, why does he drop
his Invisibility Cloak and leave it behind?
Harry seeing his parents in the Mirror of Erised. Ron seeing himself in
the mirror as Head Boy and Quidditch captain, and holding the House
Cup. Dumbledore explaining the mirror's functions to Harry. It shows a
person's desires.
Hermione finding a passage about Nicholas Flamel and his Sorcerer's
Stone (which can turn any metal into gold and make an Immortality
Elixer).
Why don't Harry, Ron, and Hermione wear the Invisibility Cloak when they
go to see Hagrid at night about the Stone?
Hagrid's baby dragon, admired by Ron, Harry, and Hermione, and also seen
by Draco.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione losing 150 points for Gryffindor. Harry, Ron,
Hermione and Draco serving their detention by helping Hagrid look for
injured unicorns in the Forbidden Forest.
Harry and Draco seeing Voldemort drinking unicorn's blood. A centaur
saving Harry from Voldemort. How does that centaur know about the
Sorcerer's Stone?
Hagrid blurting out the fact that music puts his three headed dog Fluffy
to sleep.
Neville attempting to stop Harry, Ron, and Hermione from sneaking out,
and Hermione paralyzing him.
Harry, Ron, and Hermione almost being eaten by Fluffy. Harry, Ron, and
Hermione falling onto the Devil's Snare, and Hermione using light to
free Ron.
The flying keys chasing Harry when he mounts a broom to catch one.
The giant game of wizard's chess. Ron getting clobbered by a chess
piece.
Why does the movie skip the Potions riddle?
Harry seeing in the mirror of Erised himself putting the Sorcerer's
Stone in his pocket. IMHO, its a tactical error for the mirror to give
Harry the Stone, since that give Voldemort an opportunity to get it. I
see no way for Voldemort to get the Stone if it remains in the mirror.
When Quirrell grabs Harry by the throat, Quirrell feels no pain. But
when Harry touches Quirrell's hand with his own, Quirrell's hand gets
burned and then crumbles. When Harry touches Quirrell's head, Quirrell
feels pain, the head crumbles, and then the entire body crumbles.
Dumbledore explains that Quirrell couldn't bear to have Harry touch him
because Harry was protected by his mother's love. Why could Quirrell
touch Harry's throat without pain?
Dumbledore's vomit flavored Bean.
Dumbledore's earwax flavored Bean.
Dumbledore awarding Hermione 50 points for remaining cool in the face of
danger, awarding Ron 50 points for his game of giant wizard chess,
awarding Harry 60 points for his courage, and awarding Neville 10 points
for standing up to his friends. As a result, Gryffindor wins the cup,
so Dumbledore changes the decorations from Slytherin to Gryffindor. I
noticed that everyone was wearing green cloaks at the cup awarding
ceremony. Was that in honor of Slytherin?
Hagrid giving Harry a photo album with pictures of his parents.
Hagrid suggesting that Harry threaten Dudley with magic, since Dudley
doesn't know that Harry can't do magic outside of school.
