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.

The Prisoner of Azkaban is to Harry Potter what that other No. 3, Goldfinger, was to James Bond: the movie that takes the invention and gamesmanship of the series to a whole new giddy peak.
