Advantages: You'll be entertained the whole way through.

Disadvantages: It is a bit darker than the other films.

This is the third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is the third film based on the novel by best selling author J.K.Rowling.

Harry is back at the Dursley's again, and Aunt Marge comes to stay, she is always having a pop at Harry about his parents and how he's grown up, and Harry gets a little angry and ends up blowing her up like a balloon! Harry then ends up on the Knight Bus. It is on here that he finds out about Serius Black (played by Gary Oldman) escaping from the wizard prison Azkaban. Only a little while later he finds out that Serius is after Harry! But is it to kill Harry or does this murderer have a secret of his own?!
As Harry and his friends start their third year of school they learn how to deal with enchanted creatures, such as Hippogriff's. They also have yet another Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, Professor Lupin (played by David Thewlis) who has a secret of his own. In this class they learn how to fight off Boggarts and Harry learns how to perform a Patronus charm to chase away the horrible Dementors. Another secret that comes out is about Ron's rat Scabbers, who isnt actually Scabbers! Hermione also has a secret that she shares with Harry...she can go back in time to fix things that need changing. More than one innocent life can be changed through this!
Join the all star cast once again as Harry and his friends embark on more dark magic secrets and even more adventure.
You won't be dissapointed!

I think the computer graphics are better than the first two films and makes the adventures feel more real for the audience. Even though this is a shorter film than the others, it still holds a lot of magic to keep you entertained! I also think that keeping most of the cast the same throughout the films is better than changing them as people recognise who they are, like having Daniel Radcliffe as Harry, nobody could take over and do a better job!

Summary: Yet another magical tale following some of literatures best characters!
