Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban (PG) Review

Overall Rating

Tried to make it a comedy in my opinion.

The Prisoner Of Azkaban is the WORST of the three movies. I don't know what I expected, but this rubbish was NOT IT! The movie skipped many points, and tryed to make it MUCH more funny than J.K Rowlings intended it to be. Yeah, there were some funny parts in this book, but the movie tried to make it into a comedy/action movie, and failed miserably. I don't know about you, but Aunt Marge looked WAY different than I expected, same as of Prof. Trelawny, Sirius Black, and Lupin was a HUGE dissapointment. They made it look like all Lupin taught was Boggarts, and his looks were extremely dissapointing. I, and I am guessing you also, didn't expect Lupin to be in somewhat decent robes, be clean shaven, and have red hair. I expected shabby, patched robes, a "trying to look clean" look, and greying hair, that was originally black. The leaky cauldron was VERY stupid looking, and Tom (I think that was his name) in my mind, was not a dumb, slobbering hunchback. And I thought that Cornelius Fudge would very much resemble Bilbo Baggins, but no. This movie was a horrible interpretation of the book, and if the title were different, I would have thought it was a completely different movie altogether. DO NOT BUY THIS MOVIE!!! This was the worst of the three movies, and if the movies keep going downhill, I swear I'm gonna buy 'm just to stick 'm in the microwave, and let them spark, like AOL CD's.

  I dont know where you saw Harry Potter but nowhere in the movie did Pro. Lupin have red hair. I saw the movie 4 times and I never saw him with red hair. I think this movie was the best of all the Harry Potter movies.
