    the only thing that really keeps me up at night about this book is that fred and george would probably see peter pettigrew sleeping with ron on the map and didn't say anything about it

    Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban

    This one was very good, I personally like the second film more, but I enjoy this one as well. Hermione ate per usual, and I'm glad Hagrid became a teacher. The time travel element was crazy like I was not expecting that, it all came full circle.

    I saw Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban about twenty years ago. I fell in love with this movie all over again. I'm so happy that I got to see it on the silver screen once again.

Universal acclaim based on 1105 Reviews

A deeper, darker, visually arresting and more emotionally satisfying adaptation of the J.K. Rowling literary phenomenon, achieving the neat trick of remaining faithful to the spirit of the book while at the same time being true to its cinematic self.

Not only is this dazzler by far the best and most thrilling of the three Harry Potter movies to date, it's a film that can stand on its own even if you never heard of author J.K. Rowling and her young wizard hero.
