Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone‘s opening snake scene gets reviewed by a snake expert, and the scene gets a lot right. Released in 2001, the first movie in the popular Harry Potter franchise is directed by Chris Columbus, adapting source material from controversial author J.K. Rowling. The movie, which was a massive box office hit, introduces Daniel Radcliffe as Harry and establishes the character’s unique connection to snakes with a scene at a zoo relatively early on in the runtime.
