Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban (PG) Review

Good Points
The acting got better
Only good graphic was the Dementor and Snape dressed like Longbottom's grandmother but that was already seen and laughed at in the commercials. It seems the best parts of the movie were used in the commercial and theatrical trailer. Sad.

Bad Points
-The graphics were not good at all
-The movie strayed very far from the book and it left out some very important details, but added things that were never in the book (the choir at the Welcoming Feast!!)

General Comments
Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban - I was very disturbed when I saw the movie! I was hoping that it wouldn't be too bad since Chris Columbus wasn't directing it, but my hopes were left dangling.



I am a big fan of Harry Potter...the books at least. I loved the last 2 movies, but this third one has destroyed my most favorite book of the whole series.



My parents were confused and they didn't understand what was going on. I had to explain things to them in the car.



Let me say this: Some important details were left out:

-No one revealed who really created the Marauders Map...my parents asked me how Pro. Lupin knew how to use it!

-Sirius B. never had tattoos or symbols on his chest in the book. They added that for effect. Not good at all if you want to take things that far.

-The choir sounded nice, but there was never one at Hogwarts in the book.



The graphics were not good at all. The only things I liked were the Dementors...nicely portrayed.



I do not like this movie and it has discouraged me from watching the fourth one at the movie theater. I do hope the Chris Columbus realizes how bad the movie was and I hope he directs the next ones after The Goblet Of Fire is out in June.



Read the book...of course, it is better than the movie.
