There is such a batch of post-90s, even post-00s. When they are studying, they often stare out the window and fantasize.
I imagined that an owl would send a letter.
It was an admission letter from Hogwarts. If you receive it, you can go to Platform 9 and 3/4 of King's Cross Station, take a special train to enroll, and then become a wizard.
Unfortunately, Hogwarts enrolls a very limited number of students each year, after all, there are not many people with magic talent.
Most people did not expect the owl to come until they grew up. It can only be left behind in the Muggle world and see the wonders of the magical world through movies.
Those lucky enough to enter Hogwarts have become the focus of much attention.
The most concerned, of course, is the boy who defeated the mysterious man, Harry Potter.
Who is the mysterious man?
Oh, his name can't be said casually.
I'll say it only once here, his name is Vol...Voldemort.
In November 1999, someone tried everything possible to find Harry.
It wasn't until September 29, 2000, when all Hogwarts freshmen arrived at the station, that Harry Potter's true face was made public for the first time.
It turned out that he was called Daniel Radcliffe in reality.
He can be seen in the 1999 series "David Copperfield" .
What’s interesting is that David Copperfield happens to be the stage name of a famous magician, and Harry’s future dean, Professor McGonagall, the real Maggie Smith, actually participated in the show, and I knew it a long time ago. Daniel Radcliffe.
Before Daniel appeared, the Muggle world could only imagine Harry through novels.
JK Rowling, the propaganda ambassador of the Wizarding World, she created the stunning children's literature "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".
On June 26, 1997, when the novel was published in the United Kingdom, the Muggles discovered that such a magical world exists.
Producer David Hyman had the idea to put Harry's story on the big screen before the novel was widely circulated.
David Hyman once worked at Warner Bros., so he found a friend of Warner to see if Warner was interested in buying the copyright.
Warner immediately decided, not only reached a cooperation agreement with Rowling, but also bought out the film and television copyrights of the entire IP.
This makes other Hollywood studios even have no chance to regret it.
In just three years, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has become a global bestseller.
Of course, Warner did not hesitate to start promoting the film project.
While looking for little Harry, another top priority task was also on the agenda.
That is to decide who will be the director.
This person will determine how Hogwarts will be presented to the audience.
In the beginning, Steven Spielberg was Warner's number one target, but the director was not interested in the wizarding world and declined the invitation.
Another director, Chris Columbus, was enthusiastic about the Harry Potter story. He took the initiative to ask and wrote a script for free, hoping to become the director of the movie "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" .
He has directed the phenomenal "Home Alone" series, and is very good at children's films, which is undoubtedly the main factor that impressed Warner in the end.
In terms of screenwriting, Steve Cloves , who wrote and directed "A Song of Love Is Unexpected" , met with Rowling in 1999.
It was the first time they met, and the two established a cooperative relationship.
Rowling was impressed by Steve Croves' understanding of the original novel, even if he was not a person who blindly catered to the audience.
He pays more attention to the expression of true emotions than to the wonders and strange events.
In his past works, family is a major element.
This highlights Harry's situation in the Dursleys.
As Harry lived in the depressing stairwell for a long time, his young mind was terribly tortured.
He can only fight against the cruel reality through some bizarre imaginations.
This is the very core point of the entire "Harry Potter" series. The wizarding world is not only a wonderful experience, but also the salvation of a boy who was shrouded in a dark childhood.
When Owl sent the enrollment notice, Hagrid broke through the door, and Harry's fantasy became a reality.
Oh, you can imagine what this means to a boy who can't see the light.
It should feel like a blind person suddenly saw a colorful world.
Although most people can't really go to Hogwarts and become a wizard, watching Harry go on an adventure in the wizarding world, some unsatisfactory things in reality gradually become calm and calm.
Over time, the wizarding world not only saved Harry, but also saved thousands of Muggles.
Steve Cloves’s successful description of the family drama has to a certain extent prompted the Dursley family to become a subject of constant discussion by fans of "Harry Potter" .
Some people think that the Dursleys are not bad, others think that they are simply bad, and they are the accomplices of Harry's childhood tragedy.
There is even a realistic interpretation that the wizarding world is just Harry's imagination. When the owl came, little Harry had collapsed, and Uncle Vernon had to send him to the hospital.
Hogwarts' real body is a mental hospital. There, Harry found a world of his own and slowly walked out of the shadows.
Then the whole story becomes a mental treatment.
In addition to laying the emotional tone of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" , the addition of Steve Cloves also influenced the shaping of the supporting role.
When he first met Rowling, he said bluntly that his favorite character was not Harry.
Rowling originally thought he would say Ron, but it was Hermione who knew it.
But it also met Rowling's expectations.
The title of the book says it is called "Harry Potter", but the whole story is by no means Harry's personal story.
Without supporting roles such as Ron and Hermione to "snatch the show", whether it is a novel or a movie, I am afraid it would be another destiny.
The search for Ron and Hermione went smoothly.
In reality, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson knew that they were Ron and Hermione respectively, and Warner easily found them before he found Harry.
The search process of several leading professors was uneventful.
Rowling personally found Professor Snape and Key Keeper Hagrid.
They are Alan Rickman and Robbie Kotrani in reality.
Under the threat of his granddaughter, Richard Harris, the Oscar actor, revealed his other identity, Albus Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts.
"Lupin" David Huris almost applied for a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor in Harry's first grade, but the original story was not so, so he still appeared in the third book.
In the end, this cursing position fell to the genuine "Professor Quirrell"-Venice's best supporting actor Ian Hart.
After finding all the people in the wizarding world, Chris Columbus led the entire crew to start a arduous and interesting filming.
His task is to present the magical world to the audience in the form of a movie.
Thanks to the previous experience of shooting children's movies, although the little wizards basically have no experience in filming, even if there are not many, under the tutelage of Chris Columbus, they all performed the original taste of the wizard.
In addition, Stuart Craig, the art director of "Notting Hill" and "The British Patient" , created the soundtrack for classics such as "Star Wars" and "Indiana Jones" and other behind-the-scenes masters such as John Williams With the help of masters, the production of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is the finishing touch.
On November 4, 2001, the film officially premiered in the UK.
On November 16, it was released in North America.
Harry Potter, from the wizarding world to the Muggle world.
With a total of US$980 million at the global box office, which not only satisfies the original fans, but also satisfies the quality of ordinary audiences, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has created an unprecedented wave of magic.
Thanks to Rowling's unremitting efforts to create, this wave lasted for a full ten years, and as the story progressed, its popularity continued unabated.
A total of 8 novels, 10 series of movies, "Harry Potter Magic Universe" has become a magical world with us.
The Harry Potter story is over, but when "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" returns to the big screen again, the Muggles who yearn for the wizarding world know that Harry and the others have not left.
Maybe, Harry's affairs will be remade into a series in the future. After all, the length of the movie is limited. Many things in the wizarding world and Hogwarts have not been fortunate enough for the Muggles to see.
However, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has fixed the appearance of the magical world, to some extent, it is already another reality.
If the latecomer wants to remake, he can probably only draw a gourd in the same way.
Otherwise, the magical world will lose its original taste.
