PoA is a big yay!

Rating: 9/10 (6 December 2005)

In the third installment in the box office phenomena, Harry Potter, Harry is confronted with some new dangers. Hogwarts might not be enough to protect Harry from his new nemesis (or so everyone thinks), Sirius Black. The ending of this film has the most spectacular plot-twists of all the films (er... books) in my opinion. It introduces us to Harry's father's two best friends and the man who betrayed them.
In "Prisoner of Azkaban," Emma has improved quite a bit. Ron's character is (thankfully) no longer the stupid sidekick (GRRR to you, Chris Columbus! GRRR!) but still provides a lot of comic relief. Dan is pretty good as Harry, but can't cry! (Well, I must admit, I am writing this after seeing GoF, in which his crying wasn't so-bad-it's-funny. It actually was believable and made other people cry too, but for more info, see my GoF review.) When Harry cried, which wasn't in the book and I wish it wasn't in the film, I laughed. Sort of a titter, rather... But all in all, it is way more mature than PS/SS and CoS, but still a little, teeny-weeny bit childish. The score rocks, though. So go see it!
