There are only two actors in the film who are American, Zoe Wanamaker (Rolanda Hooch) and Eleanor Columbus (Susan Bones).
Differences Between Novel and Film
- At the start of the novel, Professor McGonagall in her animagus form had been observing Vernon Dursley prior to her meeting with Dumbledore and Hagrid. While this scene was omitted from the film, it was referenced when McGonagall voiced her objections in leaving Harry in the Dursley's care.
- Hagrid tells Harry about the death of his parents on the island in the sea. However in the film, Harry asks about this at the Leaky Cauldron.
- The character Peeves is omitted.
- In the book Harry first met Draco Malfoy in Diagon Alley while shopping. In the film, he meets Draco before the Sorting.
- Sorting was done alphabetically in the novel, and out of order in the film.
- In the film, Harry, Ron and Hermione see Fluffy in the Forbidden Corridor after their escape from Filch and Mrs. Norris. In the book, Neville was also with them.
- The scene where Malfoy challenged Harry into a duel, but had actually tricked him by tipping off Filch was omitted.
- When Harry and Hermione get detention, it is because they left the Invisibility Cloak in the tower while sending Norbert to Charlie Weasley. In the film, they get detention because Draco Malfoy saw them in Hagrid's cabin past curfew. Ron is also with them in the film.
- On the way to the Philosopher's Stone, each obstacle was created by a teacher. This is not so described in the film. Also, in the film Quirrel's and Snape's rooms are omitted.
- The Hufflepuff-Gryffindor quidditch match is omitted in the film.
