First up, Warner Bros. Pictures has released an hour-long featurette on the beginning of the Harry Potter franchise with a look at the making of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Listen as director Chris Columbus, producer David Heyman, and young Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson talk about bringing the wizarding world to the big screen.
