    • Overview

    Year three at Hogwarts means new fun and challenges as Harry learns the delicate art of approaching a Hippogriff, transforming shape-shifting Boggarts into hilarity and even turning back time. But the term also brings danger: soul-sucking Dementors hover over the school, an ally of the accursed He-Who-Cannot-Be-Named lurks within the castle walls, and fearsome wizard Sirius Black escapes Azkaban. And Harry will confront them all.

Roger Ebert

The world of Harry Potter remains delightful, amusing and sophisticated; the challenge in the films ahead will be to protect its fragile innocence.

The New York Times

''Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban'' is the best of J. K. Rowling's books so far...This film may disappoint some dogmatic Old Hogwartsians: a few plot points have been sacrificed, but it more than compensates with its emotional force and visual panache.

IMDb

"Finally, a movie that captures the books' magic"

The Atlantic

Cuarón brought to the Potter franchise a quality curiously missing from the two previous films: magic.

New York Magazine

Cuarón has an uncanny ability to depict young people in ways so fresh and true that their counterparts in other movies seem fake.

Common Sense Media

Conquering fear is a huge theme. Friendship, love, bravery, and loyalty are always major themes in the series, as is the idea of making good choices.

Rotten Tomatoes

Cuarn's Prisoner of Azkaban, while a touch less faithful to the details of Rowling's oeuvre, captures far better its mood, the constant sense of wondrous discovery and lurking danger.
