Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban - User Reviews

I think it was the best movie ever and it was my favourite harry potter movie it the best charecters like: DanielRadcliff,RupertGrint,EmmaWatson,TomFelton,RobbieColdranate, MaggieSmith and .ect and I am a very big harrypotter fan I have almost the biggest harrypotter colection in Edmonton if their was a contest to see who has the most harrypotter things I`d probably be in third place an their are some boys off harrypotter the movie that I think is hot DanielRadcliff,RupertGrint,TomFelton, and I am a girl and I bet you the boys I like already have a girl friend and if I cant have well it doesn`t matter to me because i`m only 11 years old

It was awesome, and I am the biggest harry potter fan. Daniel just keeps getting hotter, and he is perfect to play the coveted role of Harry Potter. Alfonzo puts an excellent new fresh look to the whole movie! And I love laughing at cutie Rupert Grint`s adorable expressions. This movie rocks! It totally lives up to the book, (but you have to read it!) because you know the books are always better than the movie, but it would be impossible to make a movie better than the Harry Potter books! J.K. Rowling is just such a great, relatable, magical author. But the movie is fantastic! woohoo!

I loved it!! i`ve seen it 5 times!!and im going to watch it again next week! loved it!

It is awesome!!!! 5 thumbs up for this movie. I love it. I think this Harry POtter movie is the best!!! I love the effects and the sound and everything. Harry POtter and the other characters have changed alot since the 2nd Harry Potter. Well i love this movie and thats my thought of Harry Potter and the prisoner of azkaban.

I Had been waiting for 2 Years for it to come out!I have now seen it 5 time and i i`m going to see it again soon.This is the best film ever and i can`t wait for the Nexts Harry Potter to come out.I went to the Premiere and i saw Daniel radcliffe! (I`m a big fan and i`m in love with him.)It was the best day of my life! I saw it the day it come out, My best bit was the Crying scene when Harry was under the cloak.I cryed to!!!!! I LOVE IT AND GIVE IT 5 STARS!

I have seen The Prizoner Of Azkaban twice, and I feel that it is an excellent movie from a cinematic perspective. In terms of its quality and closeness in following the book as an adaptation, it`s really quite poor. I`m sure director Alfonso Cuaron felt that he was enhancing the movie by altering the timeline, but I felt he went too far. Of the first three Harry Potter books (" " " The Philosopher`s Stone, " " " The Chamber Of Secrets), my favourite was always the third, but dealing with the movies, I much preferred the first two more than the third. I have heard rumours that Chris Columbus may be returning to direct the fourth movie, and I h

Well done.

Totally cool. Really awesome, fantastic. I`m gonna watch it for the fifth time.

Awesome! Waited for a year and a half and it was worth it!

It it is the best yet! 5stars

emma is so hott! the movie was really good. i know they made a lot of changes from the book, but who cares when Harry got his broom. or where the tree is. it was a great movie and you should see it. ppl said it was childish but i am 15 and i really liked it. I saw it 3 times. Harry, Ron and Hermione were so good.

Harry potter was good. except the misssed a ton of stuff which really annoyed me cause that was like important. (well some of it) otherwise it was quite good. i think it was probably the best harry potter movie yet. and probably will stay the best harry potter movie.

I was disappointed.The director took liberties that destroyed the story. Where were all the interesting ideas from the book? I didn`t care about ghost horses in the castle, I would have rather that they spent the time on the map and on Mr. Black. My children were looking forward to being as scared as they were while we read them the book. My son actually fell asleep during the movie. I have also not seen that many people get up and leave the theater in the middle of a movie since I saw Rainman.

hmm, what would make the most money? shrek 2, harry potter 3 or spider-man 2? i should say thet will be amazzzzzinggg movies but i think spidey 2 will me more money but still amazing. cant wait till the 4th, 5th, 6th and the 7th movie and books come out.

I think the movie was great but don`t change any more characters insept the ones that have to be changed by the book but like Harry , Ron and Hermoine they should stay the same every one likes them and the play the characters well.

Seriously dissapointing

The Best one yet. Can`t wait for it to come out on DVD.

I loved the movie, everthing except for the end, they rushed the end. they should of slowed it down, so u really understood what happened.

I think it was the best out of the three even though it was the shortest and it did not follow the book very well. If it was not based on a book it would be considered a great movie one of the best of the year. I wish there was more quidich and the new dumbledore was really bad. They should have got Ian McKellen (Gandalf LOTR)to play as Dumbledore, He would have been able to do a better job at it. They should have keept more to the movie and to the way the first two movies were done it would have made the third movie a much better experience. It still was one of the best movies I have ever seen and I am defently going to see it a couple

I love harry potter, but i didn`t like that movie. the book was better and the movies before. i think it was the director of this one. it was so different.

ONE Word. AMAZING

i thought it was the best movie i have ever seen all 3 of the movies were really really really good but i thought that this one was the best out all of them.and i hope that the 4th is just as good or even better.when i first heard that it was coming out i begged her to take me,and after i saw the movie i was stunned cause i knew it would be good just not that good.i also knew that it would be good because i read the 3rd book twice and it was always my favourite book .god i could go on forever and ever about how good this movie is but i wont.

After reading the comments, I have to both agree and disagree. Yes, the Whomping Willow was in a different place. Yes, Dumbledore was not as good as in the previous movies. But I`m afraid the people writing that this movie sucked didn`t look past the flaws. This movie is a wonderful experience with tallented actors, wonderful settings and stayed fairly true to the story. Congrats to the cast and crew of HP3, and boo-hoo to all you dislikers.

i thought it was great i love harry potter movies thier sometimes funny and its full of action harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban was great.

It`s a Big Dissappointment comparing it to the First two movies. The new dumbeldore looks like a hobo or a tramp. Accuracy to the written story was Way! Way! off. The new site for Hagrids cabin, I though was on the edge of a nice lawn not down a bloody mountain goat path. Some your kids in the theater we scarred silly by the were wolf scene. The leaky Caldron is not the way JK writes it. That place looked like a dump. I love the Harry Potter books and most of the characters. Malfoy in this episode goes from one second cursing Hermione to the next blabbering in fear. Anyhow, I was disappointed with the Prisoner of Azkaban movie. I hope the g

Okay, one thing. I hated it. I`m a major HP fan, and when I saw the movie I was disgusted. They cut out half of the good scences, and what they left in was different. They added scenes as well, which strayed far from the book. I was constantly explaining what was going on to one of my friends, who hadn`t read the book. Really fake crying by Radcliffe. Dementors DON`T fly. Harry DIDN`T get the Firebolt at the end, but in the middle of the year. Actually, he gotr it a Christmas, not by owl post. The ending was weird also. The werewolf looked totally fake. The whole werewolf scene was not in the book. In other words, they messed up bad.

I gotta tell ya, I like the first 2 alot better. This one lacked alot of the magic and feeling of fantasy opposed to the first 2 movies. I still give it a postive review but not as good at 1 and 2. I hope the 4th one really makes up for this one. PS. Lord of the Rings still kicks its butt even though they are totally different. I figure you are either a LOTR or HP fan.

I thought that Harry Potter and the prisoner of azkaban was very good and i thought that Gary Oldman played great as Sirius

Disappointing. This is the most disappointing film of the year. In no way does it follow along with what is in the book. The book was scary, and had a plot to it. The film is not scary at all, its more laughable than anything, and there is no plot in this film, it ended before it started. It is a good thing I read the book beforehand to know what was going on, otherwise, it is a waste of $12. Wait for it on DVD to rent it. But even then, you will have felt robbed. Bring Chris Columbus back, or someone who will go by the book. This is a hack job. Alfonso Cuaron totally destroyed the wonderful visions set out by the first two films. Instead of

Meh. How can anyone like such a movie?! I hated their portrayal... someone once said that the younger viewers are bound not to like this movie because it is more "mature"... I`m 14, I`ve read the whole series and have my own interpretation of the difference between whimsical, and "magic". I think that Christopher Columbus provided more of what viewers pictured while Alfonso Cuaron put whatever fit for the third movie alone. I believe that the director should be someone that has read the WHOLE series and actually understands what it`s all about. One word to say about this movie... disappointing >:(

I think that Harry Potter and the prisoner of Azkaban give the dream world image to all the children and adults that see this magical world

i think its a good movie not great some parts are very lame make them a little maturer

i thougth that the movie was better when I saw it the second time. But it was too american. and the werewolfe was so un realisytic. andaniel`s fake crying was really bad, but hey, he still is the hotty.

In my opinion the 3rd HP was the best book out of the 5 existing books, so naturally shouldn’t the 3rd movie live up to the previous HP movies? Anyways my point is there was only one QIDDITCH match, and it doesn’t follow the previous flow of the other 2 movies. For me it wrecked the 3rd installment of HP. Please bring back Chris Columbus, or give Alfonso some HP filming lessons.

Definitely the BEST Harry Potter film yet...I was SOOOO pleased at the fact that the emotions of the film`s hero was shown to be raw and that he was in fact a "very human" teenager (we saw none of that in the first two movies)...another thing I loved was the cinematography of the film (very dark and `gothic-noir`)...the studio (WB) did us a favor by replacing Columbus with Alfonso Cuaron!

The movie was great, Daniel Radcliffe is sooo hot.

okay, what`s with dan`s FAKE crying?! and the dementors arent supposed to fly...they looked like E.T. under a cloak.

i thot it was awesome, but i wish chris columbus was the director. alfonso is great, but the whole plan in the first and second movies is gone. i can`t really reconize anything and the plan is so strange. nothing is as i thot it would be. there were so many things left out!

it was excellent they could have added some parts from the book

I really think it was good,but not as good as L.O.T.R. Cuaron kind of made the Firebolt part up because it was suposed to be shown somewhere in the middle, but instead, it was at the very good. They also forgot to show Cho Chang in the Quidditch scene. But I still think H.P.A.T.P.O.A. WAS COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it was ok but not very good at all. For one thing, many important parts of the movie were deleted and it was as if they just took the main events and just filmed one after the other. Second, it was unrealistic. The dementors CAN`T fly and the Lupin werewolf was the worst werewolf EVER MADE! Third, some of the casting was very poor. I didn`t like the actor that played Lupin and the new Dumbledore didn`t do well either. Finally, some of the characters have really changed. Malfoy is always whining and Hermione is always clinging to the guys. She`s not independent like she used to be. This movie has romance in it and there`s no romance in the boo

it needed to follow the books cause its BORING

I thought this movie was GREAT it was just FANTASTIC I love how u mad the monsters(warewolves)scary...... I think this movie is the best yet, and i bet the Goblet of Fire will be even better

I really enjoyed the movie. But i didn`t like the change in set like pow we are in the mountains, or pow hagrid has a bigger house, or pow they wear muggle clothing. What is with that? And even though they left out alot of details, you shouldn`t go into the movie with out reading the book anyway. And out of all the characters Ron (Rupert Grint) is the hottest one of all. Sorry Dan you just not foxy enough. -LuLu

I think it was AWESOME! I have to saw though, the QIDDITCH sucked. It was about 3 minutes long, no more.

best harry yet. cuaron is a fantastic director, but he should have stuck to the original script.

Simply put, the third installment in the Harry Potter series, was in my opinion the better of the three.

wow...this movie was the best one yet!

its was so much better than the first two...the animation! oh sooo good! harry`s hot.
