Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban [2004]

As a big fan of the Harry Potter series, I recently re-watched the film "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", and it did not disappoint. This movie is an absolute masterpiece, with stunning visuals, an engaging storyline, and exceptional acting by the cast. The film follows Harry, Ron, and Hermione as they enter their third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, where they encounter the dangerous Sirius Black, who has escaped from the wizarding prison of Azkaban. The plot twists and turns keep you on the edge of your seat, and the characters' development is both impressive and heartwarming. One of the standout features of this film is the direction by Alfonso Cuarón. His vision for the Harry Potter world is nothing short of breathtaking, with stunning cinematography and a unique color palette that sets this film apart from its predecessors. The cast delivers some of their best performances in this film, especially Gary Oldman as Sirius Black and David Thewlis as Professor Lupin. Their portrayal of these characters is both captivating and memorable. Overall, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is a must-watch for any fan of the series or anyone who loves a good fantasy film. It's a masterpiece that stands the test of time and continues to captivate audiences of all ages. I highly recommend this film and can't wait to watch it again.

Great documentary and film inside the world of Harry Potter I’d give it 93/4 out of 10

By now, as Harry approaches adolescence the tone of the narrative changes and we get a more interesting, more complex and darker story. Harry is getting older, getting less emotionally stable. Other than the previous movies this one should appeal to both children and adults with a bit more scary creatures like the Dementors, while there is more focus on Harry’s parents' deaths. Harry’s friendship with Ron and Hermione takes a different direction with Hermione being forced to make tough choices that impact Harry but Ron in particular, with who she is in constant disagreement. The movie now also has particularly strong secondary characters like Professor Lupin, the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, who hides a big hairy secret. Then there is Professor Trelawney for Divination studies. While Hagrid displays his love of all magical creatures. Professor Snape remains enigmatic so that you continue to question his true motives. The movie has many fun, unexpected and exciting plot points, things are not what they appear at first sight. Take for example Sirius Black, a prison escapee, believed to have betrayed Harry’s parents. The mystery of Lord Voldemort murder of Harry's parents is increasingly central and new details are revealed. And the climax is intense. The Prisoner of Azkaban probably our children’s favourite Harry Potter movie.

Excellent.

After the first two films, things start to get darker with this third movie, which is easily the best of the first four movies at least. I don't put it in the top 2 unlike most fans, but I would definitely put it in the top 4. Alfonso Cuaron does a fantastic job with the film. The cinematography is fantastic and Gary Oldman is terrific as Sirius Black. What stops me from ranking this film in the top 2 is the lack of a big action sequence (like the book it's probably the least action packed of the series) and the absence of the main villain Voldemort makes it easy to forget about him as a character, which is what you don't want with your main villain in a series.

Harry Potter.......enough said. If you have never watched HP treat yourself to the entire series, it becomes a go to watch

Funny

What's not to love!!!! Harry potter fan since 24 years and I am proud Ravenclaw! My daughter is a Slytherin.... better then a Gryffindor. 10000points to Gryffindor, because Harry took a breath....

Sotto Natale ❤️

This review assumes that you've already either seen the movie or read the book. I won't go into the plot here. I'll say upfront that this movie was brilliantly done. Alfonso Cuarón truly captured the darker, more complex mood that J.K. Rowling gave to the third installment of the series. The cinematography and visual effects were excellent. I also thought that the soundtrack was absolutely perfect (if interested, please see my separate review for the soundtrack). The kids are beginning to really mature in this film. Their acting, which is evidently becoming more natural and fluid, has improved a hundred times over since Chamber of Secrets. Harry, Ron, and Hermione become closer in this story, and their friendships are even more important than before. I get the sense that Daniel, Rupert, and Emma are also becoming great friends, as their friendships on the screen seem so natural. The three have a great chemistry. Some complain that the kids are growing too fast, but I just don't see it. Kids their age simply grow at an exponential rate. I assume this also holds true in the wizarding world. They seem about the right age to me. The casting for the new characters is pretty good. David Thewils is a fantastic Professor Lupin, and Emma Thompson is a perfectly clumsy and mystical Profesor Trelawney. I did not, however, warm up so well to Michael Gambon as the new Dumbledore. But I think (hope) that will change with time. Gambon is obviously a good actor, and I think that if I hadn't already gotten used to Richard Harris, I would have said that his portrayal of Dumbledore was convincing. Hopefully, Gambon will grow on me in Goblet of Fire. Now for the "qualified" portion of my review. . . . I give this movie five stars from the perspective of someone who had read the book first. I can't imagine that I would have enjoyed the fast-paced movie as much if I had not already known what was going on. I did not, however, give this factor too much weight in my assessment because, given the time constraints of the movie, it probably had to be geared toward people who had already read the book. Of course there were many missing details -- the background about Sirius and Lupin could have used more explanation, and the secondary characters did not get much face time -- but deciding what to cut and what to keep is incredibly difficult when you adapt a 435-page book (each page packed with information) to a 140-minute movie. I believe that given the complexity of the story and the time constraints of the movie, the crew did a fantastic job with making those decisions; and that is why I give the movie five stars. Remember, the perfect Harry Potter movie would be about 8 hours long. That's just not possible. (Although, if it were, I would certainly sit through it!) Now for my favorite parts of the movie. . . . (1) I think my favorite part of the movie was the time-turner sequence. This was brilliantly done. I even looked for flaws the second and third times I watched the film, and I found none. Emma Watson was brilliant in this scene! (2) Aunt Marge's "blow up" sequence was absolutely hilarious. (3) The Hogsmeade scene with the snowball fight was fun, and Daniel Radcliff did an excellent job with the scene where he "overhears" that Sirius is his godfather. Long story short, this DVD is a must-have for Harry Potter movie fans. I think this movie is even better than the first two, and the DVD will be a good supplement for when you don't have time to re-read the book!
