Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
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

Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Terrible ,Terrible Just utterly terrible
I have just recently picked up the Harry Potter books again and I am ploughing my way through them I'm enjoying them immensley . Whilst i am following the books i have decided to watch the films after each book i complete.
The first two Harry Potter films are pretty good ..not great in my opinion, but not bad considering .Although Its always very difficult to convert book to film ,whilst we all have our own imagination et al i dont think these first 2 do that bad ....However ...this film ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Easily the best of the bunch .... so far
I've just finished watching Harry Potter and The Order of the Phoenix on DVD, and wondered if I'd put on a zombie movie by mistake, it was that lifeless. The only good thing about it (okay, except for Imelda Staunton as Umbridge) was to remind me how good this chapter by Alfonso Cuaron is. I'm not a die-hard fan of the books, and I don't care if the plot has been changed or if Hagrid's hut is now at the bottom of some steps (gasp! horror!) All I know is, after the first two lacklustre efforts by ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Director fault but dark and likeable nonetheless
In his third year at Hogwarts Harry Potter (Radcliffe) is under the watchful eyes of the Dementors, soulless creatures on the hunt for murderer Sirius Black.

In the third instalment of what surely is now the biggest franchise on the planet, Harry and friends head back to school which is darker and more dangerous than ever before. We say this with every film but this was truly the point where the franchise went from family entertainment to dark and dangerous thrills.

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The best so far
Of all the books so far "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" must be Rowling's finest. The plot is intriguing but somewhat darker than its predecessors which gives it, in my opinion, a more mysterious and exiting atmosphere. The characterisation of Sirius Black plays tribute to Rowling's prowess as an author and the chemistry between Harry and his godfather is interesting to read. The book sets the scene and tone for those to follow in a way that the previous book did not and leads the reader ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - A fun movie to watch
I have enjoyed the Harry Potter series. And hope to see them continue the movies. This was a fun movie to watch. But I was surprised that it was so short. This is also the darkest movie yet. As would be expected from director Cuaron. Though they do stick close to the plot of the book.

The movie starts off with Harry at home with the Dursley's. And as usual they are making his life miserable...but we see that Harry is not only older, but has some power. For his uncle seems a little scared ... Read More
