Something Wicked This Way Comes

Rating: 8/10 (27 March 2006)

Harry Potter (Danielle Radcliffe), Hermoine Granger (Emma Watson), and Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) have returned to their third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. And yet again, Harry's life seems to be in great danger from Sirius Black (Gary Oldman), a prisoner who has most recently escaped from Azkaban in order to kill Harry for He-who-must-not-be-named. It also seems that the school has become under the protection of hundreds of Dementors from Azkaban. Soon Harry realizes that things may not go as they planned for him or his friends either.
Director Chris Columbus does a fantastic job in portraying this movie from J.K. Rowling's "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban." Also along with the actors who has portrayed these characters to the best of their abilities. Although, it may not portray the book in the exact order of events, but it does indeed give the story fluidity and meaning like Harry Potter has never seen before.
The movie does not go along with the book that it is based on, and skips on a lot of major details which is explained in the book. Yet the film does give the book meaning as it deserves. The director could have done a better job on the special effects shown in the movie, especially with the werewolf. The graphics on the werewolf aren't as up to as it should be. Other than that, it was an excellent movie nonetheless.
