Chris Columbus Interview: Harry Potter And The Sorcerer's Stone's 20th Anniversary

20 years ago, Harry Potter And The Sorcerer’s Stone was released in theaters. It was a big deal at the time. Dozens of directors had sought the job, with Steven Spielberg even being initially attached. The first movie in what was assumed to be a series, Sorcerer’s Stone was an adaptation of one of the most popular children’s books in years, so the movie was almost certainly guaranteed to be a success.

And what a success it was, grossing over a billion dollars at the box office to date. We talked to the film’s director, Home Alone and Mrs. Doubtfire veteran Chris Columbus, about how he landed the gig, convinced some of Britain’s best character actors to join him, and the first time he saw Hogwarts’ Great Hall.
