Average Ratings:

In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Harry, Ron and Hermione, now teenagers, return for their third year at Hogwarts, where they are forced to face escaped prisoner, Sirius Black, who poses a great threat to Harry. Harry and his friends spend their third year learning how to handle a half-horse half-eagle Hippogriff, repel shape-shifting Boggarts and master the art of Divination. They also visit the wizarding village of Hogsmeade and the Shrieking Shack, which is considered the most haunted building in Britain. In addition to these new experiences, Harry must overcome the threats of the soul-sucking Dementors, outsmart a dangerous werewolf and finally deal with the truth about Sirius Black and his relationship to Harry and his parents. With his best friends, Harry masters advanced magic, crosses the barriers of time and changes the course of more than one life. Directed by Alfonso Cuaron and based on J.K. Rowling 's third book, this wondrous spellbinder soars with laughs, and the kind of breathless surprise only found in a Harry Potter adventure.

Summary: This is a great movie
Comment: This is one of the best movies I ever watched.For an old vhs,it is still just as good as a DVD.

Customer Rating:
Summary: Sad Installation To the Saga
Comment: I will keep this brief. I tolerate this movie because it is part of the Saga but in my opinion the director fouled up horribly. The movie is relate to the book but it skips and omits in an unbelievable fashion. The entire time thing just does not make sense. The complete overhaul of the castle is horrifying. The alteration of the movie so as to remove Quiditch entirely from the plot line is abhorrent. Please don't get me wrong - I enjoy the movie but as I said - only because its apart of the series. But in my opinion the director did not really care much about the storyline or the book. He had an idea - he had never read the book - he altered, cut, mutilated and destroyed. So. Thats all I have to say. Just dissapointed that this movie could have been so much more... and it wasn't.

Summary: good but not the best
Comment: I like widescreen stuff and Only Purchased this to finish my collection of Widescreen HP movies. its not as good as the rest HP films and im sure that the Director could have given us more movie and less Fading/tree sequences

Customer Rating:
Summary: It's has an artistic feel to it.
Comment: This is one of my favorite harry potter movies. I like hoe the director made the movie feel and look darker than the second one. I'm also glad that I bought this DVD because they don't sell the double disk one. I try looking for it in stores but they only sell the single disk. And this one is the original released DVD with the two disk.

Customer Rating:
Summary: A very good movie.
Comment: The movie, "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", was a very good movie and I did enjoy it. Soon after the beginning, there is an odd bus ride that I did not enjoy as much as I did in reading about it in the book. Also, the movie overdoes the warnings of potential dangers from Sirius Black. Finally, there are some serious changes from the book that appear in the movie. And, there is a bunch of things in the book that do not make it to the movie.

However, once we are past the first quarter of the movie, it really got much better in my estimation. The movie is less confusing than is the book for the last three quarters of the story. There is a serious exception. We get to the Shreeking Shack and, just when we need clarity, the movie is confusing. Nevertheless, at the end, I appreciated the story that J. K. Rowling had created more than I had at the end of the book. On the other hand, I think I would have been totally lost if I had not read the book first.

I recommend this movie but read the book before going.
