Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban


Greetings.

The first three Harry Potter movies were great but things really started getting worse from the fourth installment. From the fourth part, Voldemort started appearing, the trio's friendship started getting complicated with possible love triangles and more focus was placed on those boring Quidditch matches. Anyways, that is not a matter of concern as I am about to review the third movie of the franchise. The most fascinating part of the Prisoner of Azkaban is obviously the time turning part of the movie, when Harry and Hermione go back in time to save Sirius Black. I also found the Death Eaters enticing.



The movie starts out with Harry getting in trouble once again at his Uncle Vernon's home. Furious, he decides to leave home early before school starts (after performing a bit of domestic magical violence). From people at Hogwarts, he learns that he is being hunted by an escaped Azkaban Prisoner, Sirius Black, who betrayed his father and was assisting Lord Voldemort. Death Eaters were stationed outside of Hogwarts who were on parole to hunt the escaped Sirius Black. After repeatedly sinister encounters with the Death Eaters, Harry looks up to Professor Lupin to learn how to defend himself from the deadly creatures. Harry, Hermione and Ron go on a quest to find out the truth behind the mysterious Sirius Black and his involvement in the death of his parents. While searching for the truth, the trio encounter an unexpected visit from werewolves, the Grim and Peter Pettigrew. When things don't work out as expected, they also get a second chance to save two innocent lives.

Though not as interesting as the first and second parts, this movie was obviously better than the latter parts of the series, intentionally made complicated when it should have remained identical to three friends coping with the strange life of Potter. Sirius taught us that the ones who truly love us never actually leave our side and Harry taught us that within ourselves, there lays a power greater than any force in the whole world.
