Alfonso Cuaron Works That Potter Magic.

Rating: 8/10 (29 August 2014)

Considering that this is the only entry in the series that doesn't revolve around Lord Voldemort (As much). "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", is the turning point. Introducing more talent, more characters and more thorough stories that will happen to effect Harry's life for the rest of the series.
The story follows Harry Potter's third year at Hogwarts, as he is informed that a prisoner named Sirius Black, has escaped from Azkaban prison and wants to murder him. This leads to a series of ghouls known as "Dementors" (Azkaban's guards) patrolling the school, whilst everyone remains unaware that Black has more involvement in Harry past than everybody seems to lead on.
Finally, we get to see those exterior shots of Hogwarts re-imagined, a great enjoyment to see as I was never much a fan of the look from the first two movies. The introduction of Remus Lupin who is played brilliantly by David Thewlis, and stunning debut from Michael Gambon as Albus Dumbledore (R.I.P Richard Harris). But unsurprisingly, the character who ultimately steals the show is Sirius Black, played with charisma and desperation from Gary Oldman.
Again, it's the first time we are introduced to a new kind of evil. That comes in the form of the shrieking shack, escaped convicts and somehow it even manages to include a sub-plot on a court case about a magical animals fate that coincides with the main narrative. All that's left to say is that great performances come from Daniel, Rupert & Emma. As the characters are becoming more fleshed out and definitely more vulnerable to all these dangers.
Final Verdict: Alfonso Cuaron really adds a great style and edge to the franchise. Those who are fans of the books do not want to miss this very likable entry in the series. 8/10.
