Editorial Review:
Some movie-loving wizards must have cast a magic spell on Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, because it's another grand slam for the Harry Potter franchise. Demonstrating remarkable versatility after the arthouse success of Y Tu Mamá También, director Alfonso Cuarón proves a perfect choice to guide Harry, Hermione, and Ron into treacherous puberty as the now 13-year-old students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry face a new and daunting challenge: Sirius Black (Gary Oldman) has escaped from Azkaban prison, and for reasons yet unknown (unless, of course, you've read J.K. Rowling's book, considered by many to be the best in the series), he's after Harry in a bid for revenge. This dark and dangerous mystery drives the action while Harry (the fast-growing Daniel Radcliffe) and his third-year Hogwarts classmates discover the flying hippogriff Buckbeak (a marvelous CGI creature), the benevolent but enigmatic Professor Lupin (David Thewlis), horrifying black-robed Dementors, sneaky Peter Pettigrew (Timothy Spall), and the wonderful advantage of having a Time-Turner just when you need one. The familiar Hogwarts staff returns in fine form (including the delightful Michael Gambon, replacing the late Richard Harris as Dumbledore, and Emma Thompson as the goggle-eyed Sybil Trelawney), and even Julie Christie joins this prestigious production for a brief but welcome cameo. Technically dazzling, fast-paced, and chock-full of Rowling's boundless imagination (loyally adapted by ace screenwriter Steve Kloves), The Prisoner of Azkaban is a Potter-movie classic. --Jeff Shannon
In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Harry Ron and Hermione now teenagers return for their third year at Hogwarts where they are forced to face escaped prisoner Sirius Black who poses a great threat to Harry.

In addition to these new experiences Harry must overcome the threats of the soul-sucking Dementors outsmart a dangerous werewolf and finally deal with the truth about Sirius Black and his relationship to Harry and his parents. With his best friends Harry masters advanced magic crosses the barriers of time and changes the course of more than one life. Directed by Alfonso Cuaron and based on J.K. Rowling's third book this wondrous spellbinder soars with laughs and the kind of breathless surprise only found in a Harry Potter adventure.Running Time: 144 min.System Requirements: Running Time 142 MinFormat: DVD MOVIE Genre: ACTION/ADVENTURE Rating: NR UPC: 085392844524 Manufacturer No: 28445
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - New actors to the film series give even more depth.
Gary Oldman???
YES!!!!!!!
On of the best actors in Hollyweird assumes the role of Sirius Black.
It just couldn't have been anyone else.
Perfection.
One of the favorite books in the series is given the Hollyweird treatment.
They usually drop the ball on book adaptations, but the have succeeded on the Potter movies.
Nothing major is left out, just a few plot points here and there.
All in all, another fine addition to the Potter Empire.
Rating: - Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Great product. i already knew i loved the movie, but it was in amazing shape.
Rating: - Another Harry Success
Another Harry Success. Fine story twists...great new characters & actors...special effects, excellent as usual. Overall..thoroughly engrossing...a delight watching Harry, Ron and Hermione growing up.
Rating: - Another fantastic Harry Potter movie
Cauron brilliantly presents this third Harry Potter film. Great new casting for Gary Oldman as Sirius Black, Michael Gambon as the new Dumbledore, David Thewlis as Remus Lupin and Timothy Spall as Peter Pettigrew. Old actors still show their brilliance like Maggie Smith, Alan Rickman, Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson. Great script. Great performance all round.
Rating: - Good, but not for little kids.
I loved all the books and most of the movies. Big Harry Potter fan, but my 6-year old son enjoyed the 1st movie but was scared of the 2nd, 3rd, the end of the 4th, and the 5th. This and "Goblet of Fire" is my favorite of the Harry Potter movies so far. This movie tells more about Harry's parents and how they died. Cute, funny, and sad all at the same time.
