| DVD Description 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 |

Not even close to the book Prisoner of Azcaban is my favorite Harry Poter book yet. Seeing this movie was an incredible disapointment even compared to the other movies that have come out. It strayed immensly from the book and I don't think that they should even attempt to make Goblet of Fire. To make a movie of a book that is so long and so brilliantly written when a decent one cannot be made of a book that is half it's length will crush any avid Harry Poter fan. The attempts to turn the Harry Poter books into box office hits like the Lord of the Rings is futile and a waste of time.

DO BUY THIS MOVIE!!!!
BUY IT ON DVD!
I Wonder What Would Happen If I Watched The Whole Thing... A few days ago i managed to catch 15 minutes of this movie and it was enough for me! For one thing, the plot has barely anything in common with the book. Isn't Professor Lupin supposed to be shabby and long-haired? Well, actually he looked like a thin Mr. Dursley and he even wore muggle clothes. Malfoy is portrayed as a big sissy, because when Hermione punched him, he started crying. Plus, they totally didn't explain the werewolf situition at all. All-in-all, the people who made this movie should really read the book a few times first. |
