Better than predecessors but still not what I'd expected.

Rating: 5/10 (14 March 2005)

First of all I have to say that I love the books and I'm really fond of the Prisoner of Azkaban. I didn't like the previous Harry Potter movies at all because the acting was just so bad. And it hasn't improved much.
The thing I liked about this movie was Alfonso Cuaróns directing. The area of Hogwart was also more beautiful than it had been in the previous movies. Emma Thompson was quite good as Professor Sybil Trelawney and Rupert Grint was again funny as Ron Weasley.
The thing I don't like about movies that are based on books is that they don't leave anything to your imagination. And again this movie ruined a little bit of my reading experience but not as strongly as the previous Harry Potter movies. I think that if you haven't read the books you really like these movies.I wish that they'd stop producing Harry Potter movies because even though I haven't liked them I still have to go and watch them in the hope that this one will be better.
So the conclusion: If you're a Harry Potter book-freak, don't watch this. If you haven't read any of them, watch this because it is a beautiful movie and the story is great.
