The Sorcerer's Stone is by far my favorite movie. It is the only movie in the franchise that is filled with love and happiness. It's understandable that the series gets darker as it progresses and therefore the movies reflect that. However, when I need a good escape movie and a feel good story that I enjoy, I rewatch the first movie. Sometimes, I just have it playing in the background while I go about my daily tasks, and I listen in from time to time when my favorite scene or background music comes on.
