Content Inside: Reading Comprehension Test Excercise no.1: Read the following article : Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone1 ''Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is a colourful adventure movie, dripping with atmosphere, filled with the frightful and the sublime, and surprisingly faithful to the novel. A lot of things could have gone wrong, and none of them have: Chris Columbus' movie is an enchanting classic 5 that does full justice to a story that was a threatening challenge. The novel by J.K. Rowling was muscular and vivid, and the danger was that the movie would make things too cute and cuddly. It doesn't. Like an "Indiana Jones" for younger viewers, it tells an excellent tale of supernatural adventure, where colorful and eccentric characters alternate with frighful 10 stuff like a three-headed dog, a pit of tendrils known as the Devil's Snare and a two-faced immortal who drinks unicorn blood. Terryfying yes, but not too much--just in the right measure. Three high-spirited, clear-eyed kids populate the center of the movie. Daniel Radcliffe plays Harry Potter, he with the round glasses, and like all of the young characters he looks 15 much as I imagined him, but a little older. He once played David Copperfield on the BBC, and whether Harry will be the hero of his own life in this story is much in doubt at the beginning. Deposited as an abandoned child on a suburban doorstep, Harry is raised by his aunt and uncle as a poor relation, then called to become a student at Hogwarts School, an 20 Oxbridge for magicians. Our first glimpse of Hogwarts sets the tone for the movie's special effects. Although computers can make anything look realistic, too much realism would be the wrong choice for "Ha rry Potter," which is a story in which everything, including the sets and locations, should look a little made up. The school, rising on ominous Gothic 25 battlements from a moonlit lake, and its Corridors, cellars and great hall, although in some cases making use of real buildings, continue the feeling of an atmospheric book illustration. At Hogwarts, Harry makes two friends and an enemy. The friends are Hermione Granger (Emma Watson), whose merry face and tangled curls give chills, and Ron Weasley (Rupert 30 Grint), all bravery, luck and untamed talents. The enemy is Draco Malfoy 1 Pubblicato da "Chicago Sun-Times" in data 16.11.2001 da Roger Ebert Pagina 1 di 4
