Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban : 4 of 5
6.12.2004 4:21 PM \| Link	Since I was busy with play rehearsal, I had to wait a few days to see this latest Harry Potter movie. I'm excited about following the films, even though I haven't read the books, but I have to say that this one is my least favorite so far. That's not to say I didn't enjoy the movie - I had a great time watching it! The story is much darker and mysterious than the previous plots - much more of a mystery (with a problem-solving pace) than the others. There are some great special effects (I thought Buckbeack the hippogriff was simply beautiful), and some nice acting from the kids (though they are hardly kids anymore - I have no idea how they are going to keep making these movies unless they start taking drugs to stunt their growth!). I wasn't too fond of the new Dumbledore - he looked okay, but his voice was just too fast and not caring enough. I guess he just needs more charm. Once again, we learn a lot more about Harry's parents and past and see him developing into a powerful wizard, all against the cool set of Hogwarts with its living paintings and ghosts. Overall, this is a nice third effort from Harry, but I hope the fourth brings back a little more humor. Labels: harry potter, movies
