Prisoner of Azkaban Highlights?

Rating: Null/10 (22 June 2004)

I felt that the other two HP movies stuck close to the storyline. Azkaban definitely included the story, but some of it was out of order (the Firebolt) and much of it did not happen at all.
I'm certain it's difficult for the director to make a movie of reasonable length and include all the points of the story. A previous writer mentioned the bits left out, such explaining the behavior of Lupin and Black toward each other. This is told in the book, but barely even mentioned in the movie. The involvement of Hermione's cat was also left out, although it's not vitally important.
The movie itself was okay, but I would have been more satisfied with a complete story. This just seemed like a collection of highlights from the book.
