All Of It - A podcast by WNYC
[REBROADCAST FROM November 9, 2021] Twenty years ago, the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone was released in theaters, setting the stage for over a decade of films and launching the careers of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. As we look back on the film twenty years later, we are joined by the director of both “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” and the second film in the series, “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” Chris Columbus. He will join us to talk about setting the tone for the series, working with the young stars, and he’ll take calls from fans of the films who remember when the first movie was released. All of the "Harry Potter" films are streaming on HBO Max.
