harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban

With scenes such as the one in which the troublesome creatures swoop into a game of Quidditch played in an ice storm, the signs are that Potter fans are to be well rewarded for a longer than usual wait.Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban is primarily set at Hogwarts.

The cast also features hundreds of Dementors sent to guard Hogwarts. Sir Michael Gambon takes over as Professor Dumbledore, who was played by the late Richard Harris in the previous two Potter outings. Among the new faces are Oldman, Emma Thompson, Timothy Spall, Dawn French and David Thewlis. Nevertheless, the regular cast is back, including Robbie Coltrane, Julie Walters, Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman. Cuaron has apparently worked his own kind of alchemy on the Potter universe to make it unique. With Cuaron in the chair, the third Harry Potter movie is reported to have a grungier, more offbeat feel to it: Hogwarts headmaster Dumbledore is an ageing hippy, Sirius Black is a bearded 70s-style rebel, and even the kids have been allowed to dirty their uniforms. He replaces Chris Columbus, who directed Philosopher’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets. To create this shift, Warner Brothers hired director Alfonso Cuaron, whose Mexican hit Y Tu Mama Tambien dealt with teenage existential angst. Once again a shadow hangs over Hogwarts, but Harry’s own interior world is a darker place too. As if this weren’t enough, he learns some disturbing news about his own history. But this time Harry’s task is complicated by raging hormones, feelings of hopelessness and a burgeoning interest in girls as he struggles with the onset of his teenage years. Black has broken out for one reason only: to finish the job his master started 13 years ago and kill Harry Potter. Harry (Daniel Radcliffe), Ron (Rupert Grint) and Hermione (Emma Watson) are back at Hogwarts for a third year when they learn of the escape of Sirius Black (Gary Oldman), heir apparent to the Dark Lord Voldemort, from the wizards’ prison Azkaban. But this time the biggest revelation may just be Harry himself. Harry gets to take on a killer implicated in the death of his parents, to play his most deadly game of Quidditch yet and to deal with a terrifying new enemy, the Dementors. There are several reasons for fans of the boy wizard to start counting the days until the release of the third movie, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, which goes on general release worldwide from June 4.
