Best Film of the Series So Far

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2013)

Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third instalment of the impressive Harry Potter series. This blows the first two films out of the water. I can't believe it was the least successful Potter movie! Daniel Radcliffe is fantastic as Harry Potter, finally getting used to being the talk of the planet. Rupert Grint again is wonderful as Ron Weasley. Emma Watson is great as clever Hermione Granger, who has mysteriously turned into a spunky character.
The appearances of several other cast members are also a delight. Gary Oldman steals the show as escaped prisoner and Harry Potter's godfather Sirius Black. David Thewlis is good as troubled teacher Professor Lupin, who turns out to be a werewolf. Emma Thompson as loopy Divination teacher Professor Trelawney is also a delight.
Even though this film is a bit long, it didn't bother me one bit. I enjoyed watching this film more than the first two. It does get darker, and spookier, but the twists and shocks just kept me watching.
Overall, the best film in the series yet.
