Harry Potter & The Philosopher’s Stone | Nerdy Rewatch Review Series EP #82

The Silly Nerdy and Wordy Podcast

Welcome back to Kruboy Productions and the Silly Nerdy & Wordy Podcast! In this first episode of my Nerdy Rewatch Review Series, I revisit Harry Potter & The Philosopher’s Stone, the film that started it all.

I share my background with the Harry Potter franchise, how I first discovered it, and what it’s like rewatching the movie on Blu-ray for only the second time. From the magical world-building to Alan Rickman’s unforgettable performance as Snape, to John Williams’ timeless score, this movie still holds up today.

I also dive into some behind-the-scenes details, including how child actor filming laws shaped the production, and how this movie set the foundation for the saga’s epic finale years later.

👉 Let me know in the comments: What’s your favorite part of Harry Potter & The Philosopher’s Stone?
