Favorite Book, Loved The Movie

Rating: 10/10 (9 June 2004)

The Prisoner of Azkaban is my favorite book in the series (so far), so I must admit that I was anxious to see this movie. Though there were scenes that I would have liked to see from the book, I loved this movie. The imagery in terms of the dementors was excellent, they were scarier even then I thought they would be.
The cast was great and the director handled the job superbly. For the first time, I did not find the movie dull or too slow. Scenes were rearranged and deleted from the book, but all in all it was a great adaptation.
The purpose of the movie is to bring to life the characters in the novel and an individual's interpretation of what the key elements of novel are, not a visual regurgitation of every scene.
Great job and I look forward to seeing it again.
