Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
The new HP film was released today and, as it was a Bank Holiday and the weather a little on the damp side, we just had to go and see it.
The opinion of my 2 teenage children is that the book beats the film hands down. Though I quite enjoyed it, Lord of the Rings towers above any of the Harry Potter films.
The Hippogriff and the werewolf are excellent animations and overall the interaction between the real actors and computer generated imagery was very realistic.
This is a bit darker than the other 2 films, which , combined with Harry Potter and chums growing up a bit and some well placed cameos by actor/comedian favourites Lenny Henry & Dawn French plus the wonderful Emma Thompson as Professor Trelawney, has resulted in an entertaining film. Due to the length of the book many scenes have been either cut altogether or condensed to the point that important moments are fleeting at best.
