Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Reviews
"The Prisoner of Azkaban" is the one, lest you've forgotten, that features Harry, in his third year at Hogwarts, attaining greater insight into the betrayal and tragic death of his parents while being pursued by an escaped murderer (Black) and ghoulish, life-sucking Dementors (whose first appearance, parents of little ones take note, should have garnered the film a PG-13, not PG, rating).
Personally I had higher hopes for this film, given Cuarón's involvement(his "A Little Princess," an adaptation of another beloved children's book, and "Y Tu Mamá También" were two of my ten best films of 1995 and 2001 respectively), but the worst you can say about HP3 is that it's more of the same... and endlessly so (almost two-and-a-half hours by the time John Williams's unmemorable score drones to a close). The hippogriff, made unnecessarily central, is decent; the werewolf, necessarily central, is ludicrous; and they should have done more with the Marauder's Map.
Otherwise "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is a dependable and easygoing entry in the ever dependable and ongoing series.
