The magic still lives

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2004)

*SPOILERS*
The third installment of the Harry Potter series is (by my opinion, the best. It keeps close with the book but enough is improvised to keep the story at its best.
Harry is at his third year at Hogwarts and Sirius Black has escaped from the wizard prison, Azkaban. Everyone knows that he is after Harry, or is he? Sirius finds Harry and tells him the truth of how Voldemort found his parents. The Prisoner of Azkaban is possibly the best Harry Potter book, in the movie the acting is great (although I don't think that Michael Gambon (Dumbledore) isn't quite as good as Richard Harris) and the special effects are amazing.
The story starts off a little unrealistic (the Knight Bus is painted purple) but once the movie gets going it becomes a magical movie that captures your heart, also funnier than the other two (thanks to Ron's PG swearing) this is a movie that will surely tell you that magic lives on.
I would give it 8/10.
