Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Rated PG
By Karishma and Kashmira Patel, 11th grade, July 14, 2004

No cursed Firebolt, no butterbeer, and no Gryffindor team captain, Oliver Wood. Although there are quite a few changes from the book version of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, the movie is, as Fred and George Weasley would put it, "spanking good!" Feeling lonelier and angrier than ever before, Harry decides to run away from the Dursleys. During his stay at the Leaky Cauldron, he meets his best friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger. A few days later, they are aboard the Hogwarts Express, where Harry first encounters a dementor, a prison guard from the notoriously terrifying Azkaban prison fortress. The dementors are after Sirius Black (who turns out to be more than just an escaped prisoner), who is after Harry. Hogwarts is the one place where Harry always felt safe, but with the soul-sucking dementors and Sirius on the loose, not even Dumbledore can protect him now. In three fast-paced hours, the movie screen is action-packed with wild creatures, mistaken identities, secret passages, flying broomsticks, and, of course, plenty of laughs.

Ka$h and Kari give this movie
a slammin' two thumbs up!
