Who can help me find some information about the research and exploration of the philosopher's stone in Harry Potter?

Harry Potter was fostered in his uncle's house since he was a child and was discriminated against and bullied by his uncle's house. However, on his 1 1 birthday, Harry Potter learned his life story, and his life changed dramatically. It turned out that Harry's parents were two wizards who were killed in a contest with dark wizard.

In order to carry on his parents' legacy, Harry went to a Hogwarts school in England which specializes in teaching magic and witchcraft. After entering Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry became a freshman in Gryffindor and became inseparable friends with Ron and Hermione. Many courses to become a wizard are waiting for him to learn, including flying lessons, defense against the dark arts, potions and transfiguration, and of course, Quidditch competitions that drive all wizards crazy.

In an argument with his classmates, Harry showed his flying skills beyond everyone's imagination. Even he was surprised. Professor McGonagall, who teaches flying skills, therefore recommended him to participate in the Gryffindor Quidditch Competition. On the other hand, Snape, a professor of potions, always seems to be unfriendly to Harry. Besides making things difficult for him in class, he also picked on Harry everywhere. However, Harry found that Snape's harsh words threatened the cowardly Professor Quirrell. Even the bite marks of the three-headed dog on Snape's leg can prove that Harry's inference is correct: an evil plot is quietly growing in the quiet Hogwarts, and Snape seems to be the key figure in all this. ...

So Harry, Ron and Hermione, three good friends, decided to explore together to prevent the evil plot from happening. These three Gryffindor freshmen, after many difficulties (of course, they also violated many school rules), finally found out that the seemingly innocent Professor Quirrell was behind all this! Dark wizard Voldemort, formerly known as "Mystery Man", lost his magic power for many years, hoping to get a sorcerer's stone to restore it. Quirrell was possessed by Voldemort and became a two-faced man, obeying Voldemort in everything. Harry, Ron and Hermione, the "Magic Trio", did their best and finally found out the truth and saved the philosopher's stone. Harry defeated Voldemort for the second time since he was born.

The theme of this novel is "courage". From beginning to end, it is extraordinary courage that supports the actions of the protagonists.

abstract

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is adapted from the series of Harry Potter novels by British woman writer j·k· Rowling, which have been translated into 60 languages and sold more than 654.38 billion copies. It is rated as one of the four best-selling children's novels, and may become the most successful children's industry after Mickey Mouse, Snoopy, Garfield and other cartoon characters. This film is Harry Potter's first screen work, which cost $654.38+25 million. The film describes Harry Potter, who is 1 1 years old, and has been regarded as a freak since he was a child. He always thought he was just an ordinary child, until he received the admission notice from the magic school and led him into the magic world. Since then, his life has changed greatly.

Harry Potter, the protagonist in the film, is played by Daniel Jacob Radcliffe, an English boy aged1/kloc-0. Daniel was selected from thousands of candidates. He played David as a young man in the BBC film david copperfield. Two other British students, Watson and Grint, are 1 1 and 10 respectively this year, and will play two good friends of Harry in the play.

Chris columbus, the director of this film, has directed one or two episodes of Alone, as well as films such as Mr. Fat Mom and Stepmother.

20011165438+6, the film will be released in a record-breaking 4,000 theaters in the United States, breaking the record of 3,653 theaters of Mission Impossible in Tom Cruise. People in the film industry predict that Harry Potter will break the global box office record of $654.388+$800 million created by Titanic. In addition, the second film "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" has been launched, and the estimated shooting time is 120 days, which will be released in June 2002 165438+ 10/8.

A brief review of movies

If you have a chance to see USA-Today, Newsweek or The New York Times in recent days, you will find that only the famous British boy can compete with bin Laden for the cover-Harry Potter. The film based on the novel of the same name has been released in Britain and the United States, and the overwhelming publicity campaign at least shows that Hollywood hopes that the magic broom on Harry Potter's leg can also magically sweep away the haze that has been hanging over Sunset Avenue for months.

This expectation is obviously not wishful thinking. It is reported that the novel of the same name has been translated into 47 languages before, and more than 654.38+065.438+060,000 copies have been distributed in nearly 200 countries around the world. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone alone has sold 20 million copies in the United States, so insiders predict that the total box office of this film will be at least equal to that of The Sorcerer's Stone.

In addition to the considerable box office, people's expectations for Harry Potter are more psychological. The "9. 1 1" incident not only leveled the World Trade Center in New York, but also almost stopped one of the best genre films in Hollywood. In the past, those exciting and real disaster scenes all looked like ominous spells because of the "9. 1 1" tragedy, perhaps only in that movie with dragons, giants and magic hats.

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone is the first Harry Potter series of children's novels written by British female writer J.K. Rowling. In addition, the series also includes Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, harry potter and the half-blood prince, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. As a fictional character written by Ms. Rowling, the little boy Harry Potter conquered the vast number of young readers with his humor, courage and legendary experience and became the idol of many children. The sales volume of the Harry Potter series has been climbing all the way, unexpectedly breaking through the 654.38 billion copies mark (global sales), which may be unimaginable when Ms. Rowling first started writing the Harry Potter series.

How did Harry Potter get on the screen?

In fact, as early as 1997, david heyman, the producer of this film, was looking for a script for a children's film. When his assistant recommended Rowling's "The Sorcerer's Stone of Harry Potter" to Hyman, the book was still lying quietly on the shelf of the bookstore. Hyman and Rowling had several lunches to discuss the adaptation. Finally, Steven Crawford (Pastime, Race with the Moon, Flesh and Blood) decided to screen the book at the end of 1999. At that time, neither Rowling nor Hyman expected that the global sales of Harry Potter series would reach such astronomical figures.

Spielberg had intended to direct the film before the official shooting, but because the producer insisted on finding a young British actor to play Harry Potter, Spielberg had to tell the story of Harry and take his little osmond to shoot artificial intelligence. So, the producer launched another director selection, and kicked out N famous directors such as Tim Robbins and Wolfgang Peterson, and finally chose the present chris columbus (alone at home 1 2 and Mrs. Doerfield), because Columbus promised to complete all filming in Britain, and the actor was a talented Englishman. From this point of view, the rumor that Columbus Americanized Harbin's original works is self-defeating.

From June 5438 to 2000 10, the film officially started shooting in Britain. In order to make a well-made work, the film was shot in nine studios in Britain, and the total cost exceeded 65.438 US dollars+25 million pounds. Almost all the adult actors in the film are top performing artists in Britain, which is really exciting. Moreover, the theme song "The Living Boy" will be sung by celine dion, who has not appeared for a long time. The lyrics and composers are two masters, james horner and Will Jenin, who created "My heart will last forever". This shows that the level of this film is by no means ordinary.

In addition, the original author gave full support to Ha's shooting. Recently, she revealed to readers that she added some plots about Harry Potter's life to the script of the film, which she had thought of for a long time, but were not written in the first book. This news obviously helped the movie "Ha" sell well, which was enough to arouse the appetite of Harry Potter fans.

Before the release of the first episode, the filming of the second Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets was just around the corner: this one was directed by chris columbus and started shooting at the end of this year. It is expected to be released around Thanksgiving in 2002. Now, Warner Bros. has won the right to shoot four novels of Harry Potter. If the box office results of these films are satisfactory, Warner will continue to buy the right to shoot the other three films that have not been written yet. It is really early enough to catch them all and reap the profits.

Will Harry Potter satisfy fans?

When reading a novel, every reader will turn the words in the book into vivid characters in his own mind. Different people will have completely different imaginations, and it is impossible to satisfy every reader's ideal. Therefore, the producers of "Ha" only try to satisfy as many people as possible-this is an important principle to guide Columbus in filming.

In order to understand the children's views on the film, some media also conducted a public opinion survey for children in the second grade of primary school. The results show that children are most concerned about whether the film can reproduce the magical scenes depicted in the book, such as the mysterious valley of Hogwarts College, all kinds of strange creatures appearing in the story, the grand witchcraft competition in the wizard world and so on. It seems that it is time for adults and children to compete for imagination. Can the movies made by adults guess the scenes depicted in children's minds? This is not an easy thing.

Interestingly, when a reporter asked haley joel osment what he thought of the film, the child said, "I think this film will ruin the book for many children and adults who haven't read the original. It is quite difficult to surpass the original and even reach the same level as the original. Because of this, I have never considered playing a role in the movie. " At first glance, this sentence makes sense, but after reading the last sentence, it is inevitable that people suspect that this little guy said this sentence because he couldn't get the role of Harry Potter. Hehe, I learned to say that grapes are sour when I was so young.

Is Harry Potter a money-making machine?

There is no doubt that no matter what critics say about Harry Potter's philosopher's stone, it will be a box office bomb and a money-making machine. In view of its 65.438 billion fans worldwide and its simultaneous premiere in 4,000 theaters in the United States (this figure is also a record), the box office on the opening day and the global box office of Ha will definitely set a new record, at least for children's films. Coupled with the toy production license it sold to Lego earlier and the exclusive sponsorship provided by Coca-Cola, we outsiders don't know how much money this film made.

Behind the scenes story

The original title of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone was Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, but the title of the American version was changed to the former when it was filmed. Moreover, in order to echo the title of the film, all the shots related to "Stone" are shot in two sets, one is the English version and the other is the American version. It is said that many collectors are eager to collect both English and American versions of DVD.

During the filming process, the filming progress was delayed due to weather and other reasons, and the film crew almost went to court to catch up with the progress. Because British law stipulates that children can't work more than five working days a week. If the crew didn't hire a few extras, the film might be put on for a few days at night because of the lawsuit.

Actor Tim Ross wanted to play Professor Snape in the movie, but the crew of Planet of the Apes also invited him to play the ape general. Finally, he chose his favorite director, tim burton, and gave up the role in Ha.

The funniest news: an Englishman named Kevin Carlin claimed to be a senior wizard of a wizard organization. He said that several of them were cursing the movie Ha because it made a serious mistake: when riding a broom, you should put the broom head forward instead of the broom handle forward. The wizard also claimed to fly by broom, but he could not fly casually without the permission of the British government.
