HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN (2004) - ♦♦♦♦

Directed by - Alfonso Cuarón

Written by - Steve Kloves (based on a novel by J.K. Rowling)

Starring - Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson

"A convicted murderer who escaped from Wizrads’ Prison goes after Harry in his third year at Hogwarth. The change in director did nothing but good to the franchise, as Cuarón brings a new technical depth as well as a darker style to make the film more entertaining even for a more mature audience as well as to the audience of children that had grown up since the release of the first film. Even the story seems more gripping, although the lead in for the next films to come is every bit as annoying, but of course a constant element in the Harry Potter films."
