In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry, Ron and Hermione, now teenagers, return for their third year at Hogwarts, where they are forced to face escaped prisoner, Sirius Black, who poses a great threat to Harry. Harry and his friends spend their third year learning how to handle a half-horse half-eagle Hippogriff, repel shape-shifting Boggarts and master the art of Divination. They also visit the wizarding village of Hogsmeade and the Shrieking Shack, which is considered the most haunted building in Britain. In addition to these new experiences, Harry must overcome the threats of the soul-sucking Dementors, outsmart a dangerous werewolf and finally deal with the truth about Sirius Black and his relationship to Harry and his parents. With his best friends, Harry masters advanced magic, crosses the barriers of time and changes the course of more than one life. Directed by Alfonso Cuaron and based on J.K. Rowling ‘s third book, this wondrous spellbinder soars with laughs, and the kind of breathless surprise only found in a Harry Potter adventure.

Some movie-loving wizards must have cast a magic spell on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, because it’s another grand slam for the Harry Potter franchise. Demonstrating remarkable versatility after the arthouse success of Y Tu Mamá También, director Alfonso Cuarón proves a perfect choice to guide Harry, Hermione, and Ron into treacherous puberty as the now 13-year-old students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry face a new and daunting challenge: Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) has escaped from Azkaban prison, and for reasons yet unknown (unless, of course, you’ve read J.K. Rowling’s book, considered by many to be the best in the series), he’s after Harry in a bid for revenge. This dark and dangerous mystery drives the action while Harry (the fast-growing Daniel Radcliffe) and his third-year Hogwarts classmates discover the flying hippogriff Buckbeak (a marvelous CGI creature), the benevolent but enigmatic Professor Lupin (David Thewlis), horrifying black-robed Dementors, sneaky Peter Pettigrew (Timothy Spall), and the wonderful advantage of having a Time-Turner just when you need one. The familiar Hogwarts staff returns in fine form (including the delightful Michael Gambon, replacing the late Richard Harris as Dumbledore, and Emma Thompson as the goggle-eyed Sybil Trelawney), and even Julie Christie joins this prestigious production for a brief but welcome cameo. Technically dazzling, fast-paced, and chock-full of Rowling’s boundless imagination (loyally adapted by ace screenwriter Steve Kloves), The Prisoner of Azkaban is a Potter-movie classic. –Jeff Shannon

i hate harry potter to the core. I think that it was the dumbest thing that was created in the history of mankind. The books have no depth, or complex ideas. The movie was plain boring. The first few scenes were filled with ‘action’(lousy excuses for it), about ‘sirius’ going to kill harry, but then halfway through the movie, all there was was a day in the life of a scar faced idiot. The actors are highly inprofessional. How could they even earn 3million for doing the movie. This movie stinks. I hate harry potter, and jk rowling for writing such a stupid book

FIRST OF ALL LET ME BEGIN WITH A LITTLE RANT ABOUT SCENES THAT I WOULD HAVE CHANGED. FIRST OFF, THEY COULD HAVE HAD A SCENE WHERE FIREFIGHTERS WERE PUTTING OUT FIRES ON A MUGGLE STREET AND LET MINISTRY WIZARDS APPARATE BEHIND THE SCENES ( LIKE MACGONAGALL’S FIRST SCENE IN SORCERER’S STONE). NEXT, YOU COULD SEE SIRIUS BEING DRAGGED OFF TO AZKABAN SCREAMING. NEXT, YOU LET HARRY CARRY THE FOOD TO THE TABLE WITH THE PERMISSION SLIP IN HIS POCKET AND DROP IT NEAR AUNT MARGE WHO PICKS IT UP. THEN YOU LET HER RANT ABOUT WHY IT’S NOT SUITABLE FOR HIM TO GO ANYWHERE ( E.G. HIS MOM BEING AN EMBARASSMENT AND ALL) NEXT, SKIP OVER TO THE BUCKBEAK SCENE. LET MALFOY MAKE SOME KIND OF CRUEL GESTURE TOWARDS BUCKBEAK , LIKE HITTING HIM OR SOMETHING. THIS MAKES THE AUDIENCE FEEL SORRY FOR THE CREATURE AND FOR HAGRID DURING AND AFTER THE TRIAL. NEXT, AFTER HARRY IS INJURED, LET PEOPLE CROWD AROUND THE BED AND SEND MACGONAGALL IN TO CLEAR THEM AWAY. HAVE HARRY SAY “GOODBYE, CEDRIC” AND “GOODBYE CHO” THERE! WE’VE MET THEM IN THE SHORT SPAN OF TWO SECONDS.
NOW AS A FINAL IMPROVISATIONAL MOVE, HAVE SNAPE APPEAR IN THE SHRIEKING SHACK AS IF HAVING CAUGHT HARRY DOING SOMETHING NAUGHTY AND REVEAL THE IDENTITIES OF THE MESSERS AND HOW HE KNOWS ABOUT THEM. HOW CAN THIS BE DONE? SNAPE TAUGHT LUPIN’S CLASS AND COULD EASILY HAVE STOLEN THE MAP . HE IS A SLYTHERIN AND VERY SLICK. I KNOW THAT WE HAVE TO SAVE TIME, BUT WE SHOULD CONSIDER THE LIFE OF THE STORYLINE.
