HARRY POTTER AND THE PRISONER OF AZKABAN
Herald rating: * * * *
The third and arguably one of the best adaptations of J.K. Rowling's sorcerer-boy novels thankfully doesn't rely on prior knowledge from the books. Mexican director Alfonso Cuaron (Y Tu Mama Tambien) handles Potter's adolescent years extremely well as the young wizards head for their third term at Hogwarts. With the help of his pals and Professor Lupin (David Thewlis), Harry (Daniel Radcliffe) deals with an escapee from Azkaban prison (Gary Oldman) who may have been involved in the murder of Harry's parents. (2004)
