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: - 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: - 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

Rating: - Different Director; Great Adaptation
The third movie in the Harry Potter franchise brings us a new director in the form of Alfonso Cuaron. While there are some obvious stylistic changes to the movie, it still expertly captures the third book in the series.

This year finds Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) facing a personal threat from day one. Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) has escaped from the wizard prison of Azkaban. His betrayal led to the deaths of Harry's parents years ago. Everyone assumes that Black is heading to Hogwarts ... Read More

Rating: - got the abra kadabra
Rather than focusing on the actual movie (which for reference i thought was absolutely brilliant and well worth watching again and again), i thought i would mention about why to spend that extra bit on the two disc edition rather than the 1 disc edition.

First of all the extras contain a few extended scenes(when i say a few i mean a few, nothing to get excited about), however the interviews with the cast are good fun led by johnny vaughan, the other documentaries provide an interesting insight ... Read More
