Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban [2004]

Those who are die-hard JK fans will despair, but story-to-film issues aside, its a fantastic movie.

Delightful, gripping, funny... all the qualities that had you reading the book into 6am the next day after you opened it!

Enjoy :)

When I saw the first film, I was disappointed, I thought it lacked characters, major parts, and displayed characters in a strange way. I would have given that a three. The second film was better, with the younger actors (Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Thompson) improving throughout and more spark and originality, I would have given it four. This film was great, every single actor is displayed to perfection, and I particularly liked the acting from the character of Draco Malfoy, Hermione and the two twins. I found this really enjoyable, and the special effects were very good. I like the obvious way Harry is growing more mature. The scene where Aunt Marge blows up like a balloon and floats out the conservatory was great, as was the Knight bus scenes. A few hidden jokes, fantastic acting, wonderful script and perfect effects gave this film five stars!

as with the previous two films No Peeves. What is wrong with film makers, didn't they read the actual books? Peeves is a major character throughout the series so far. Disappointed once again


Not the best, so far   January 19, 2005

This was a difficult book to put onto film and, I'm sorry to say, it's not as good as I'd hoped. There is a lot of background and character interplay in the book that has been omitted from the film and, in doing so, the behaviour of the characters doesn't always make sense. I suppose putting it all on film would have made for a 3-hour epic instead, pity, I would have enjoyed that far more...
