Truthful opinions about the entire production..

Rating: Null/10 (11 June 2004)

Harry Potter 3- Prisoner of Azkaban, perhaps the most interesting book because it leads the plot into the Comeback of You-Know-Who himself BUTTTT the movie does not do that!! My assumption is that the Producers had made TOO MANY assumptions that the WATCHERS have already read the book and are only watching the movie for the graphics...which is NOT the case.... Simply put, the movie was not long enough....the scene changes were too abrupt it was more like a theater show...transitions weren't smooth enough...though yes they had to have the blackout scenes...and the comments of Ron on Hermoine was too repetitive...the film was to short for him to comment about it in every class....and Hermoine's temper outburst, was due to too much stress, which they did not really portray, also, the writers of the Marauder Map...How else will Moony know how to use the map?!
Professor Trelawny's prediction to Harry Potter, the significant one, became insignificant in the movie... Dementors played a big part, which IS pretty good...Sirius was OK, "Expactro Patronum" sessions could've been extended between arrival of Firebolt...I dunno...I'm no expert... All in all, the movie is a disappointment but it makes people look forward to the 4th (whether for improvement or for continuation), and hopefully it will improve.
