Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Ive seen it twice already and loved it! The directorial change is easily noticeable, but that doesnt stop you from enjoying the film! Fans of the books and those who liked the films will love this but its more of the same for those who arent so avoid it.
The cast is great! Gary Oldman is cool as Sirius black. Although you may not recognise him as that guy seems to be a master of disguise. A friend of mine was shocked when I told him who it was.
David Thewlis played the part of Professor Lupin well and he definitely looked the part. Those who remember the books will know of his transformation and youll see that and it looks pretty cool.
Michael Gambon plays Dumbledore now and does it pretty well although there is a noticeable difference in how he plays this character.
As for the Harry, Ron and Hermione and the other children, theyve all grown with their parts well! As teenagers now they help carry on the story pretty well and Tom Felton who plays Draco Malfoy is hilarious! Youll know what I mean when you see the film. Emma Watson is also great in her performance as she gives Hermione a slightly rebellious attitude.
Rupert Grint is comedic as ever as Ron and Daniel Radcliffe is still the same old Harry Potter only he seems more confident in the role now and plays Harry well.
As for entertainment, youll be laughing through this film a lot! There are so many funny moments and for those of you who remember the books, youll get to see the Boggart scene!
The Dementors of Azkaban prison look great and I love the effects they use when they are approaching. Youll see that also.
And Buckbeak the Hippogriff looks amazing! There are several flight scenes with Buckbeak and the first encounter with him is great.
Look out for Dawn French as the Fat Lady. Although she may not be as well known to American watchers as she is to us Brits.
Obviously theres a lot missed out from the books, but the film is still enjoyable. I hope you all enjoy as much as I did.

I'm staying home from school, yes, but mom has to be at school until 5pm, because then she won't have to work Saturday, because heaven forbid she can't miss Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. Dude, I can miss an episode of Dino Thunder and I won't be complaining about it. And we can't go Friday night because at 8:00, the season premiere of Degrassi is going to be on, but we can't go see it right afterwards, even though summer vacation officially starts that night.... |
You live somewhere by Cali? 'Cause if I was still in Cali I'd be going to school

Harry Potter is true magic. The books transformed me and made me love literature so much! After reading the 5 books for MORE then 23 times (EACH one) I only have to say, that woman is brilliant.
I'm sure this movie (and from reviews) is going to be the best of the 3 potter films. Tgrant you are so lucky!
Harry Potter has changed the world of literature in kids and adults forever.

Jade2004, I'm sure your comment was not ment to be racist or anything, but in future, please try to go a little deeper in explaining or be careful with what you write, because it sounded as if you were discriminating the Mexican or Latin American people.
I'm sure you ment no harm, but try to remember that so we can avoid flames and wars!
BTW. I agree with soulowls, by only seeing the trailers I can say Alfonso Cuaron is by far, 10000x better director then Chris Colombus.
Im sure Cuaron did an outstanding job!

OMG I AM SO SORRY i didn't mean it in a racist way at all. I just feel that Chris colombus did a better job and i also feel that the job would be done better by a brittish director (i don't mean this to be racist either but the story is a british concept) Again I am so sorry if Offended anyone |
I just saw it and Im in love with the movie. I have to go with the others, Cuaron managed to do the best harry potter movie.
