Length of film: 141 mins
Rating: PG
Director: Alfonso Cuar n

"Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is a really great movie. It's got loads of great special effects and the actors are really good. I really recommend it. It's really awesome.
The movie's synopsis is about a boy called Harry (Daniel) who's a wizard and his two best friends, Ron (Rupert) and Hermione (Emma). They get up to all sorts of adventures that are really fun to watch. In this movie, there is a new bad guy who is not all he appears to be. Harry thinks this bad guy is out to kill him, but realises at the end of the movie, that this is not the case and that the bad guy is not really a bad guy. He's actually a good guy who's been mistaken for a bad guy all along.
This movie is really great and I would recommend you go and see it. Daniel is a really good actor and he suits the role of Harry Potter perfectly. Rupert is ok as Ron although he can sometimes be a bit annoying. Emma is really good too. The best bits are the bits where the kid wizards learn new magic spells and get them wrong. It's really funny! There are also some scary bits in the film. There are these ghostly creatures called Dementors who show us what special effects are all about! The special effects are amazing in Harry Potter. The bad bits in the movie are the werewolf costumes. They don't look real and it's difficult to take the story seriously during these bits of the film.
Overall, I think that "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is a great movie. The special effects are great and so is the acting. Go check it out now!
