Harry Potter and the Prisoner Of Azkaban (2004) Directed by Alfonso Cuarón Starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Gary OldmanRating: ******
5/6
The third instalment of any series Is typically amazing or pure crap. This film from the Harry Potter series Keeps its dignity intact. Harry’s told that a villain Has escaped from Azkaban, A prison made for wizards Designed to keep them in the can. The villain’s name is Sirius, And Harry grows to fear him, But he also fears that the Dementors, The ghostly guards who stir him. This new adventure Has a different atmosphere. The scenes have an eerie feeling, And there’s the chill of death in the air.
Harry and the other kids Are more silent and uneasy. This particular mystery Will hardly be as breezy. Harry’s new teacher teaches him A spell for self defence. It works against the Dementors Who are causing him distress. Despite a different Dumbledore, New writers and directors, This movie holds up rather well, Though it does have its defectors. It’s another quality chapter In a quality film series. It keeps the viewer well-entranced, And excited rather than weary. I’m giving this good film a five. You won’t be disappointed, Unless you see them out of order, Which can make your experience disjointed.
