Harry Potter and The Prisoner of Azkaban [2004] [DVD]

Product Information

In the book, Gryffindor wins the Quidditch Cup for the first time in the series, a rather significant character-development subplot that is almost completely omitted from the film. In der filmischen Umsetzung gelingt es Cuaron wunderbar, das einzufangen, was das Teenager-Alter ausmacht: die Welt öffnet sich, es gibt neue Perspektiven, die Teens handeln selbstständiger und individueller. Even so, Columbus remained on as a producer alongside Heyman, as Columbus felt that such capacity offered him a better work-life balance, allowing him to not be present on the set all the time and spend time with his children.

She allowed him to place a sundial on Hogwarts' grounds, but rejected a graveyard, as that would play an important part in the then-unreleased sixth book. Spotting the past Harry and Black being attacked by Dementors, Harry rescues them using a Patronus charm and realizes he was the unseen figure who saved them earlier.

Alfonso Cuarón was given the opportunity to assemble an extended cut but declined saying that the theatrical cut was his preferred version of the film.

The slipcover on the first two sets are glued instead of folded so they sit next to each other much better. The site's critical consensus reads, "Under the assured direction of Alfonso Cuarón, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban triumphantly strikes a delicate balance between technical wizardry and complex storytelling.

When Harry and Hermione are alone in the Forbidden Forest, you half expect Harry to rip Hermione's clothes off and make love to her (their lovemaking would probably be spoiled by the arrival of either the Lupin wolf or the Dementors). The kids are also taking Divinations, which introduces them to Professor Sybil Trelawney (scene stealing Emma Thompson) and their friend Rubeus Hagrid (Robbie Coltrane) will actually be teaching the Care of Magical Creatures class. Part III Creatures focuses on just that, all the different creatures featured in the Harry Potter world.

This is the same transfer used on the previously released Blu-ray and HD-DVD and it still looks great even four years later. For Harry's protection, Azkaban has sent an army of soul-sucking Dementors to guard Hogwarts from a possible attack by Black - but they turn out to be as much of a threat to Harry as Black himself. Und dass Hagrid versuchen würde, einen Vogel zwischen seinen Händen wie eine Mücke zu zerquetschen, passt nicht zu ihm. Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter: A 13-year-old British wizard famous for surviving his parents' murder at the hands of the evil dark wizard Lord Voldemort as an infant, who now enters his third year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

As no fullscreen edition of the Prisoner of Azkaban has been released on DVD here in the UK, in December 2004 I put together a page of screen captures from the widescreen version and some comments on it. Of course there is a new teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts, Professor Lupin (David Thewlis), who appears to like Harry; but you never can trust anybody in that particular post. The film stars Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter, alongside Rupert Grint and Emma Watson as Harry's best friends Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger respectively. Although the fullscreen version has the time to pan across towards Harry and Hermione behind the tree and back again, interrupting what had been a natural, slow camera movement to the left with one to the right. Also included are a collection of deleted scenes (presented in HD), some SD vintage TV docs, a SD interview with Alfonso Cuarón, a short featurette about the how people are transformed in the make-up chair (also in HD), and three trailers (all in HD).
