thank God that changing directors didn't diminish the movie's quality

Rating: 10/10 (12 January 2006)

Now that Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) is in his third year, he has new things with which to contend: Defense against the Dark Arts teacher Remus Lupin (David Thewlis) and escaped prisoner Sirius Black (Gary Oldman), in jail for murdering Harry's parents.
When I read the book, I realized at the end that there was a clue to one of the things that happens. Maybe it's harder for the movie to present that, but they still do a good job with the movie. The cast all does a great job once again. Part 4 was equally good too. It just goes to show how much the Harry Potter franchise is part of our cultural heritage. "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is dynamite.
