Are you ready to feel old? Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone hit theaters an astonishing 13 years ago. The film, which was based on the first novel in J.K. Rowling's fantasy series, introduced us to who would become one of the world's most iconic characters, the titular boy wizard, played by then 11-year-old actor Daniel Radcliffe.
