What was the name of the first Harry Potter film released in 2001? It was Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone. The fantasy film, based on J. K. Rowling’s 1997 novel, premiered in London on November 4, 2001, and was released in the United Kingdom later that month. It introduced Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, Rupert Grint as Ron Weasley, and Emma Watson as Hermione Granger.

The story follows Harry’s first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where he learns about his past, makes close friends, and confronts the threat of Lord Voldemort. Chris Columbus directed the film, which became a major worldwide success and launched the eight-film Harry Potter series.

In the United States and some other markets, the film was released under the title Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone. That alternate title is the main source of confusion, but both titles refer to the same 2001 film. The later choices in this quiz belong to sequels released in 2002, 2004, and 2005.
