Film discussion: Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
Today we discuss Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which was released on 4 June, 2004--ten years ago. The film was again written by Steve Kloves, with music by John Williams, but made new and (to some, drastic) deviations with a new director, Alfonso Cuarón, and a new Dumbledore, Michael Gambon. This film marked a change from the innocent, more simple feel of the first two, and really started opening up the world of Harry Potter with new, important characters, magical creatures, and locations.
We'll start several comment threads below to get the discussion going. Feel free to reply to as many or as few as you'd like, or start new threads with questions or comments of your own.
