Product Description Third instalment in the phenomenally successful Harry Potter series. Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) have returned to Hogwarts for their third year, but there is a shadow hanging over Harry: dangerous serial killer Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) has escaped from the Wizards' prison, the Azkaban Fortress - and he wants revenge for the death of his master, Voldemort, who Harry defeated 13 years earlier. For Harry's protection, Azkaban has sent an army of soul-sucking Dementors to guard Hogwarts from a possible attack by Black - but they turn out to be as much of a threat to Harry as Black himself. As myth, magic and teenage hormones combine to weave their dark spell, Harry uncovers a few more crucial secrets about his mysterious past. The supporting cast includes Emma Thompson, Michael Gambon, Alan Rickman, Julie Walters, Maggie Smith, Robbie Coltrane, David Thewlis and Timothy Spall. .co.uk Review Adapted from JK Rowling's third novel, this installment of the family fantasy adventure story finds trainee wizard Harry Potter (played by Daniel Radcliffe) and his best friends Hermione (Emma Watson) and Ron (Rupert Grint), facing the dangerous convict Sirius Black (played by Gary Oldman). Black has escaped from Azkaban Prison and is on his way to Hogwarts, so the school calls in supernatural assistance in the form of Dementors -- but will they turn out to be a great help or a further threat? The first of the Harry Potter films to be directed by acclaimed Mexican film director Alfonso Cuarón, Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban is generally regarded as the most stylised and darkest entry in the series thus far. It stars the actors from the preceding films in the series, except for the role of Albus Dumbledore, which sees Michael Gambon take over from the late Richard Harris. Much of the original crew also returned, including screenwriter Steve Kloves. The film broke several opening records around the world upon its release, including the top opening film in UK film history, and made approximately £20m in its first three days, totaling £90.3m in ten days.

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.

A much darker story but a great movie
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.
