Capitalizing on the record-breaking release of ''Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone,'' Warner Brothers has sold the basic cable and broadcast television rights for the film, and the next in the Harry Potter series, to the Walt Disney Company in a deal worth at least $130 million, the companies said last night. Details remained somewhat sketchy as executives fine-tuned the deal, in which Disney would show the film on its ABC network as well as its family-oriented basic cable outlets, ABC Family and the Disney Channel.
