Description

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 Cuarón 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.

I love the movie I just don't understand when you rent it, Apple says you have 29 days left to watch it and own it but as soon as you start to watch it, it says 23 hours left like I don't understand it, why not just let us have it for a few days

Best!

This is a great, exciting, entertaining, fun movie. Harry, Herminoe, and Ron are all of my favorite characters. I love Buckbeack the big animal. Half eagle, and half horse. He is a cute animal. I love all of the magic in it. I love all of the Harry Potter movies and it is one of my all time favorite movies ever.

A masterpiece

A movie can never do complete justice to a series as complex as JKR's Harry Potter, but A Prisoner of Azkaban comes fabulously close. It well-captures this beautiful, fun story and the actors are fabulous. 10/10.

Best Movie So Far!!!!!!

Daniel Radcliffe made a movie where I live and it's called imperium, check it out.
Way better than goblet of fire
If someone hates Harry Potter out there, you're stupid.

Its really good, but it left out good parts from the book!

POA is one of my favorite HP movies and books. I read the book after i watched the movie, and the movie really could have added the part where McGonagall takes away Harrys fire bolt or when Ron wakes up the whole Gryff cr when he spots Sirius.

If you haven't read the book then avoid this like the plague. It changed a lot of the spirit of the characters in Prisoner of Azkaban, especially Lupin and Hagrid. Of course I won't provide spoilers but seriously... It really didn't stay loyal to the books.

This is the worst Harry potter movie. Does not follow the book and has many mistakes. A large one is that the movie ends with an event that occurs in the middle of the book. And the casting for lupin is not up to scratch. If I could I would give this 0 stars.

It has an entire hour left but I can't watch it. I am extremely upset about this. I spent three dollars to watch half of a movie. A refund would be nice.

Georgia you do not know what you're talking about! First: Harry Potter came BEFORE Twilight!

So you have NO right to talk badly about Harry Potter!

This is the best Harry potter movie ever! The dementors and werewolf scences still freak me out, though..... Sherbeck, what the heck do you mean by " copy of twilight" ?! Harry Potter came before Twilight! You can't copy something that didn't exist when you wrote it! Jezz! And in my opinion, Twilight is the one that should have NEVER became a movie! Anyway, this is by far the best Harry Potter movie yet. The third movie is the most accurate compared to it's novel counter part. Snape, Lupin, Mr.Weasley, and Sirius all apear in this storyline. And they are the most awesome Harry Potter characters ever! This is a must have for any hp fan. Even if you don't wanna get the others films, you should still purcase this movie!

Best of the series!

Why? This film introduces the dark side of the magical world w/ it use of dark cinematography, sorrowful music, and mature themes of facing death & worse...the betrayal by those you love. No longer is Harry's world this "Disney theme" of kids growing up in a wonderful, magical castle...instead, we see what happens when evil takes a hold of powerful magic & the effects it has on wizards & non-magic people alike. It's a story we can all relate to: no matter what chaotic or horrible events transpire around us, we learn to survive and grow w/ the people we care about. This is a message we need to be reminded of everyday.

incredible!

wow i really need to get some new words for the review titles. anyway, this movie is sooo good. and the best part is, you don't need the book to enjoy/understand it!!!! i've actually only heard half of this story cuz my mom used to read the books out loud too us but stopped half way through this one. but my sister decided to read the series on her own and when she read this one, she said it was like the best one. when she rented the movie, i watched it with her, and it was so good i actually felt guilty i didn't have any interest in finishing the third book.... or reading the other ones!!! (i'm actually reading the first one now. it's good, but i'm not sure i have time to read the whole series.) so long story short, you should really consider this movie, even if you haven't read the books......

Luv the movie

First of all, this movie is simply great. It captures the book very well, but is still such a solid movie that it would be a hit even if it wasn't based on a book. Basically it could stand along, as only a movie, and still be excellent. Second, itunes doesn't have all 5 of the current movies out to buy, they seem to carry a couple, then take one off then put a different one on. So just a word to the wise, buy them while you can, before they take it off the market. And you should DEFINITELY own this movie!

Why don't the ratings go higher than 5?

If they did...I'd give this movie a 20. Truely, the greatest Harry Potter movie/book in the series. There aren't too many things in here I can complain about...I would have liked to see Hagrid a little bigger. This Hagrid is not how I pictured him. But it's all good. This movie is my favorite out of the series because all of our adorable Hogwarts children are growing up! Ron is looking magnificent in here. Harry brings smiles to my face. & Hermione...well...she's just kinda there. 'Cept when she punches Malfoy. Classic! I think Malfoy bleaches his hair...seriously. Anywho, read the books, buy the movies, you won't regret it. :D

This is a suspenseful and well-made film, no doubt. The problem, for all true Harry Potter fans, is that it does not maintain the spirit and magical atmosphere that the first two films successfully made. Chris Columbus (the director of the first two films) made the first 2 films just as magical as the books. The death of Richard Harris was a complete loss and even the best actor in the world could not do a better job than he, but Michael Gambon's performance is still commendable. After this film, the musical score shifts dramatically as the great John Williams is no longer used. A shame.

Harry Potter is the best.

Adventure, suspense, danger and a hint of romance to come not to mention sweet and funny, this was the movie that turned me into a true Harry Potter fan. Considering the volume of detail and information in the novel, the director did an excellent job of transferring the story onto the big screen. Yes, ideally more of the book content could have/should have been added but it some ways the film was an improvement over the book, more dramatic, amusing and exciting. This is the only movie I recommend watching before reading the book. Mr. Cuaron has a distinct darker style that is needed to evolve the series and characters from childlike sunny innocence to a coming of age in the harsher real (or wizarding) world. If only Mr. Cuaron had directed the 5th film!

My Favorite of the HP Movies So Far!

I know many people can say that they did not like Prisoner of Azkaban, that it didn't compare to the book, but I honestly have to disagree. POA is my favorite book in the series, so I had very high expectations when I went to see the film. I wasn't dissapointed! The trio in this film are coming into their own as actors and the whole cast is excellent! I absolutely love the direction and art-sy feel that Alfonso Cuaron has given this movie, and it makes it stand out from the others. If my computer had enough memory to store iTunes movies, I would definately be downloading it at this very minute.

Great movie

Great movie but Goblet of Fire is better! Also where is Pansy Parkinson when Draco gets hurt? This is better than the first 2 but the 4th is WAY better than all of them! I'd give it an 8 out of 10. Can't wait till Half Blood Prince comes out, but any way you should buy this movie it is so funny!!!!

This is the best Harry Potter of all the ones out so far. I really hatted the fith movie. But in this movie they put tons of things from the book in this movie. The only things not in this movie from the book, are the things that are not needed.

This one is by far the best of the five movies release so far. I was nervous at first since it was not only a new director, but also a new face in the seat of Dumbledore. However, I was put at ease after seeing the new scenery and special effects around the newly pimped out Hogwarts! The three main characters finally started to "come in to their own" as they say, as actors and I enjoyed them on screen much more than the first two (although, the first two were great in their own right). The only disappointment for me was the new Dumbledore; after reading the books and seeing the original cast for the first two movies, I must say I was a little let down. Dumbledore, to me, is a bit more soft spoken and reserved than the new one has proven to be.
Overall, I give this one a 4.5 out of 5! Worth having on your ipod as well as on DVD for your home HD viewing pleasure!

Can't believe it took them this long to add the newer Harry Potter films to iTunes. Now if they could just add the second and third Lord of the Rings films...

Loved It!

I loved this Harry Potter movie! One of the best Harry Potter movies!
Although, there could have been more in it, but it is still amazing!
