Looking like The Lord Of The Rings' Black Riders suffering all-over Athlete's Foot, these ghastly creatures are the soul-sucking guardians of Azkaban, who are hunting Sirius and have an unhealthy interest in our hero, too. With the help of Professor Lupin (the excellent David Thewlis), Potter must unravel the mystery around Sirius, control his own teenage temper, and deal with the deadly Dementors.
Leaner and meaner than its workmanlike predecessors, it sees the boy wizard (a maturing Daniel Radcliffe) return to Hogwarts School Of Witchcraft And Wizardry, where he's sought by the freshly-escaped and famously evil Sirius Black (Gary Oldman). You'll be glad you did.Funny, thrilling and, yes, somewhat enchanting, Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban is widely regarded as the best book of JK Rowling's phenomenally successful series. Even the closing credits are kind of cool. The visual effects are not the most spectacular I've seen, but fantastic enough to take your imagination away from the real world for 141 minutes. Williams has created memorable compositions such as the theme music to 'Star Wars', 'Jaws' and 'Raiders of the Lost Ark'. It is absolutely splendid, making the film worth a listen even if you do not watch. The original music of John Williams is more than I could ever hope to hear. Let us hope he has had the chance to 'play it up' a bit more in the much anticipated 'Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire'. I enjoyed him more in other films, such as 'The Professional' and 'Immortal Beloved'. However, Sirius Black seams an unlikely roll for the talented Oldman. As one would no doubt assume, Gary Oldman's portrayal of the character Sirius Black is nothing less than perfect. This made, for me, the film much more enjoyable than the first and second.
Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is a slightly different character in this film as the anger inside of him for what happened to his parents has grown over the years. The mischievous trio are back in their third year at Hogwarts.
As with previous Potter films, this one is wonderful.
